Test it
Using "popup-cro". A blog wants newsletter signups from organic search visitors without interrupting readers.
Expected outcome:
- Use a scroll-based slide-in after 40 percent scroll depth.
- Offer a specific reader benefit and ask for email only.
- Cap display to once per session and honor a 14-day dismissal.
- Measure conversion rate, close rate, and time to close.
Using "popup-cro". An online store wants to save abandoning first-time visitors without harming checkout.
Expected outcome:
- Use desktop exit intent and a mobile back-button trigger only outside checkout.
- Show a clear first-order incentive with simple application instructions.
- Suppress the popup for purchasers and users who already dismissed it.
- Test incentive value against margin and completed purchase rate.
Using "popup-cro". A SaaS site wants more demo requests from pricing-page visitors.
Expected outcome:
- Use a behavior-based prompt after repeat pricing-page engagement.

- Avoid showing the prompt during signup or payment steps.
- Track demo request rate and downstream qualified opportunities.
Security Audit
SafeThe three static matches are false positives caused by ordinary UX guidance about button labels, blockers, and mobile interstitials. The skill is a prose-only CRO guide in SKILL.md and shows no prompt injection, system access instructions, code execution, network calls, or data exfiltration intent.

Recover Ecommerce Exits
Design exit-intent offers with clear incentives, mobile-safe behavior, and suppression rules for checkout flows.

Grow a Content Audience
Plan scroll-based or click-triggered newsletter prompts that respect reading flow and repeat visitors.
Try These Prompts
Help me design one popup for [site type]. Goal: [email capture, discount, demo, feedback]. Audience: [visitor segment]. Include trigger, copy, frequency, mobile behavior, and measurement.
Audit this popup: [describe headline, offer, trigger, targeting, conversion rate, close rate, and complaints]. Recommend specific copy, timing, targeting, and UX changes.
Create a popup strategy for these visitor groups: [segments]. Include triggers, exclusions, suppression rules, cooldowns, and the reason each popup should appear.
Build a popup test plan for [goal]. Compare [variant A] against [variant B]. Include hypothesis, audience, primary metric, guardrail metrics, and expected learning.
Best Practices
- Ask for goal, audience, traffic source, device split, and current performance before recommending.
- Use engagement or intent-based triggers instead of immediate interruptions.
- Include easy dismissal, frequency caps, and mobile-specific behavior in every recommendation.
Avoid
- Showing the same popup to every visitor on every page.
- Using guilt-based decline copy or hiding the close control.
- Launching without metrics, suppression rules, or a test hypothesis.
