What actually moves conversion

After shipping AI features on dozens of marketing and commerce sites, we've converged on a shortlist. Per-visitor personalisation of hero and CTA, grounded on referring source and enrichment. On-site AI assistants that actually know your pricing, bookings and stock — not generic chatbots. Programmatic generative pages for long-tail intent, reviewed by a human editor before publish. Conversational site search that answers, cites and deep-links. And on-site lifecycle personalisation that remembers returning visitors. These five account for the vast majority of AI-driven conversion lift we see.

What we usually skip

We routinely talk clients out of three things. Flashy AI hero animations that don't change copy — theatre without outcomes. Auto-generated content with no human review — a SEO liability. And generic chatbots bolted onto the site — they annoy more buyers than they help. The pattern is the same: if the AI doesn't change the answer the buyer gets or the action they can take, skip it.
