ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode of the Page 2 Podcast, we sit down with Talia Wolf — founder of Getuplift, best-selling author of Emotional Targeting, and one of the world’s top CRO experts. Talia breaks down why most websites fail to convert, and it has nothing to do with button colors or headline formulas. She introduces her Emotional Targeting Framework™, a research-driven approach that uncovers the emotional drivers behind why customers actually buy. From eCommerce to B2B and service businesses, Talia shows how emotion—not best practices—should guide your CRO strategy. You’ll learn how to transform your homepage, pricing page, and product pages into high-converting assets by tapping into customer pain points, desires, and decision-making behaviors. We dive into AI’s limitations in copywriting, the psychology of trust and social image, and why optimizing your presence on Reddit, LinkedIn, and even LLMs is now mission-critical. Whether you’re a marketer, founder, or agency pro, this episode will completely reframe how you think about user experience, storytelling, and the future of conversion optimization.
