In-app browser landing pages fixed from the measurement layer up, so the bidder sees what it bought and the page responds under 200 milliseconds.
About this service
Paid social traffic on mobile arrives inside an in-app browser, and that changes what a landing page is allowed to assume. Answer first: the two things deciding performance are whether the click identifier survives the first render into first-party storage, and whether Interaction to Next Paint stays under 200 milliseconds on a mid-range Android. Everything about the hero image is downstream of both.
Measurement before design:
In France the consent banner is refused often enough that a substantial share of conversions never reach the ad platform from the browser. The bidder then learns from a biased sample, and no amount of landing page work repairs a bidder that cannot see half of what it bought. So the first week is the measurement layer: the Conversions API and its TikTok equivalent running server-side, event identifiers deduplicated against the browser event, consent signals transmitted correctly rather than switched off, and fbclid and ttclid written to first-party storage on the first render, before any redirect chain gets a chance to strip them. I have watched a 40 percent reported-conversion gap close in ten days from this alone, with no change to the page.
Then the page:
Largest Contentful Paint measured on the devices your traffic actually uses, not on a desktop Lighthouse run. Consent banners that are themselves the largest paint. Redirect hops between the ad click and the page, each one latency you paid for twice. Back-forward cache eligibility, which decides what happens when someone taps back and returns. Safe-area insets under a sticky call to action, so the button is not sitting beneath the home indicator. Numeric keypads on numeric inputs. Tap targets at the accessibility floor, because a thumb on a phone in a metro carriage is the actual use case.
What I will not do:
Rewrite a landing page every week to match new creative. If the offer changes weekly then the offer is the test and the page is the constant; teams that rebuild the page every sprint destroy their own read and then ask why nothing is conclusive. I also will not begin page work while the measurement layer is broken, and I do not touch app store listings, install flows or anything after the install. That is a different specialism and I will name someone.
The traffic this suits:
Cold Meta and TikTok traffic to a lead form, a deposit or a first purchase, at spend where five percent matters in euros — broadly from 40,000 euros a month upward. Below that, the variance in your own creative rotation is larger than anything I can find on the page, and the money belongs in creative.
On regulated verticals:
For betting and crypto the landing page carries mandatory text: age restriction, risk warning, operator identity, routes to self-exclusion. That text is not a conversion problem to be minimised. It goes where it is readable, and I have turned down a brief whose stated goal was to make it less so. Everything around it is negotiable, and there is more room there than most teams use.
Not included: media buying, creative production, audience strategy, budget allocation, and attribution modelling beyond making the platform's own signal honest. I work alongside your buyer; I do not replace them.
What you get: the measurement layer repaired and documented, pages rebuilt against field data from your own users, a field-data monitor so a regression surfaces in days rather than in a quarterly review, and a written statement of what changed, what it moved, and what it did not.
