Test run byKasper DolkMaison Commerce
Commentary byLiftArchiveOur analysis, not theirsAdding benefit points to the product page hero, written to answer objections from customer surveys, lifted profit per visitor by 15.23%. Kasper Dolk ran this test for a client and reported it as worth about $763,679 in extra profit per year. Conversion rate rose 12.23% and revenue per visitor 16.32%.
- Profit per visitor: +15.23% (€1.05 to €1.21). This was the main metric, though the interval shown runs from -2% to +36%.
- Conversion rate: +12.23% (1.62% to 1.81%), with a 97% probability to beat control. More visitors placed an order.
- Revenue per visitor: +16.32% (€1.43 to €1.66).
- Average order value: +3.65% (€88.45 to €91.68), a small rise with a wide interval.
- Add to cart rate +2.26% and checkout begin rate +7.95%. The bigger gain came after the cart, not at the add-to-cart step.
The change
Variant adds objection-answering benefits to the product hero
Simplified mockup drawn by LiftArchive from the shared screenshots.
Control
The product page hero showed the product without benefits that addressed common buyer doubts.
Variant
The hero added benefits that answered three survey objections: whether the product is durable, whether it is the official version, and whether it protects the phone camera.
Why it likely won
Our reading of the result, not the practitioner's claim.
- the copy came straight from survey objections, so it answered doubts buyers actually had.
- putting the answers in the hero meant shoppers saw them right on landing, before they had time to doubt.
- the larger lift at checkout start suggests the reassurance helped people commit, not just browse.
Caveats: The test started on Oct 28, 2025 and was still running when the post was shared, with 65,399 visitors and 1,122 orders. The dashboard group is labelled "Benefits-first Hero" and it appears to be the same experiment as Kasper Dolk's benefits-first hero result, at a later point.

How to run this test on your store
- Hypothesis
- If we add hero benefits that answer our top survey objections, then more visitors will buy because their doubts are handled before they scroll.
- Primary metric
- Profit per visitor
- Guardrails
- Average order value
- Add to cart rate
- Refund rate
- Who should test it
- Stores with post-purchase or exit surveys that show repeated objections about quality, authenticity or fit. Without survey data you would be guessing at the objections, which weakens the test.
Questions
Where should benefit bullets go on a product page?
In this test they went in the hero, so shoppers saw them on landing. That placement lifted profit per visitor by 15.23%.
How do you choose which benefits to show?
Kasper Dolk used customer surveys. The bullets answered the three doubts that came up most: durability, authenticity and camera protection.
Did the benefits mainly raise add-to-cart?
No. Add to cart rose 2.26%, while checkout starts rose 7.95% and conversion 12.23%.
