The reasoning behind the redesign
The goal is right. Every button on the page is trying to get the visitor into a conversation with your team, either by tapping "REQUEST PRICING" or by calling the number in the header.
The catch is that every button routes to /contact. There is no form on the page itself, so a visitor who has just arrived with a specific project in mind has to take an extra step (navigate to a new page, wait, then fill in the form there) before they can even start the request. That extra step is where a lot of the intent leaks away, particularly on mobile where an extra tap and a new page load is a real friction cost. In v1 the quote request form is embedded directly in the hero on desktop, and a tap on the primary button opens it as a quick modal on mobile, so the moment someone is ready to act, the form is already right there.
The headline is strong. "3M Preferred Converter, Gleicher Manufacturing" matches the search intent almost perfectly, and that alone is worth a lot on paid traffic.
What the top of the page is missing is visible proof that lives up to the headline. The hero itself is a dark blue gradient with just the words on top; the 3M Preferred Converter badge that justifies the whole page sits well down the page as a mid-scroll image, and the statistic that really does the work ("fewer than 60 in the US, and Gleicher has held the status for decades") is buried inside a body paragraph. So the first thing a visitor is asked to do (trust Gleicher enough to fill in a form) arrives before any of the visual proof does. v1 lifts the 3M Preferred Converter badge, the "fewer than 60" statistic, and a real photograph of a Gleicher die-cut part into the hero, so the credential does its work before the visitor decides whether to scroll further.
There is real substance to draw on. Three generations, 75 years in Scotch Plains, direct relationships with 3M's product engineers and scientists, and the Preferred Converter designation itself, which is not something 3M hands out casually.
It is just under-used on the /brands/3m-preferred-converter page specifically. The 3M Preferred Converter badge that already exists in your file library does not appear until roughly a screen and a half down. The founding story, the 75th anniversary, and the Scotch Plains address all live in body copy rather than as visible page elements a skimming visitor would notice. Interestingly, your homepage already carries three real customer quotes ("Expertise… distinguishes them from everyone else." from a Product Engineer at a Multinational Technology Company; "Responsive… reliable… consistent" from a VP/GM at a Packaging Company; "They do things others can't do, or think of." from a Sr. Project Manager at a Textile Components Manufacturer), but they do not appear on the paid-traffic page. v1 pulls the badge and a statistic strip immediately under the hero, and repeats those three homepage testimonials in a dedicated section between the pull quote and the commitment block, so a paid visitor sees them alongside the credential. If you can also share publicly attributable OEM customer logos, those slot in cleanly at v2 and would strengthen the page further.
Individually small, but together they cost quote requests.
The header phone number is rendered as plain text on smaller screens rather than a tap-to-call link, so on mobile a visitor cannot dial by tapping. The product catalog is written as a wall of paragraphs (adhesive transfer, VHB, foam, Dual Lock, and so on), which is fine for a reference page but works against a paid-traffic visitor who is scanning for the one product line they came in on. Body text on the current page is small (about 13px) and rendered in a light grey that becomes hard to read on a phone in bright light. And below the product list, the "Available Products" grid is built from image buttons where the "LEARN MORE" wording is baked into the image itself, which looks dated and cannot be read by assistive technology. v1 addresses all four: the phone becomes a tap-to-call link everywhere it appears, the product catalog becomes six scannable cards with product-line tags, body text is raised to a comfortable 16px in a darker shade, and the products grid is rebuilt as real HTML.
What visitors arriving on a mobile ad click actually experience.
The mobile experience has three specific gaps. First, there is no form on the page, so any conversion attempt requires a page navigation. Second, the header carries several rows of chrome (utility row, holiday banner, logo row, mega-nav) that push the H1 down noticeably. Third, once the visitor has scrolled past the hero, there is no persistent way back to the ask: the buttons live only at the top and bottom of the page. v1 addresses all three: a tap-to-open modal form appears anywhere a "Get a Quote" button is tapped, a single-purpose sticky bar with "Call" and "Get a Quote" slides in after the hero on mobile, and the top of the page is a single tidy header without the multi-row site chrome.
Nothing is broken. HubSpot hosts the page reliably and it loads fast enough.
Two technical notes worth flagging for the rebuild. First, the hero paints quickly because it is essentially empty (a dark gradient with only text on top), which is fast on paper but hollow in practice: what the visitor actually sees in the first second is not doing conversion work. v1 fills the hero with a product photograph, the credential badge, and the form, so the same fast paint carries real content. Second, the mega-nav and holiday-closure banner load a beat after the rest of the page, which causes the H1 to shift down slightly during page load. On paid traffic this hurts the first-impression window. v1 uses a single tidy header with no delayed hydration, so the layout is stable from the first paint.
The current page is correctly set to stay out of Google search results, which is right for a paid landing page. We carry that setting across in v1.
