Show setup as three numbered photo steps

"How to install" is three photos with a number and one line each, which answers "is this complicated?" before it becomes an objection.

Three photographs in a row showing a person fitting a cover to a mattress, placing a hub by the bed and adjusting settings in a phone app, each with a numbered caption — Eight Sleepproduct pagecaptured Nov 2026source

What it is

Three photographs in a row, each with a number and a one-line caption: 01 Add the Cover to your mattress, 02 Place the Hub nearby, 03 Personalize your sleep in the app. Each caption adds one sentence of practical detail.

Why it works

For anything that arrives in a box and needs setting up, the unspoken objection is effort. Three numbered steps show the job is short, and photos of real hands doing it make it believable. It answers the question without the shopper having to ask support.

How to test it

Hypothesis: Adding a three-step numbered setup section will lift add-to-cart rate for a product that needs installation.
Primary metric: Add-to-cart rate (product page sessions)
Guardrail metric: Pre-purchase support contacts about setup
