Lower bounce rate by matching landing-page content to the ad or query that drove the click, cutting load time below 2.5 seconds, removing friction in the first scroll (popups, autoplay videos, intrusive cookie banners), and adding clear next-step CTAs. Service-business sites that hit all four typically run 35–55% bounce rate.
