Open the advertorial with a reviewed byline and jump links
Borrow the health-article head: a medically reviewed byline with the reviewer's photo and credentials, an evidence badge, and jump links to each section.
What it is
The article head puts an "Evidence Based" badge above the headline and a byline block beside it: a small photo of the reviewer, "Medically reviewed by" with their credentials, the writer and the review date. A row of jump links (what they are, nutrients, benefits, downsides, how to eat, bottom line) sits under the headline.
Why it works
This is the shape readers already trust for health information, which is why advertorials borrow it. A named reviewer with credentials and a date says the content was checked, and the jump links, including "downsides", signal balance. Only use it with a real, credentialed reviewer; a fake byline is a trust and legal risk.
How to test it
- Hypothesis
- Adding a reviewed byline block and jump links to the head of an advertorial landing page will lift click-through to the product.
- Primary metric
- Click-through rate to the product page
- Guardrail metric
- Time on page, to confirm readers engage with the content rather than bounce
