What we discovered
3. Location plays an important role. You can more effectively correct anxiety by moving a corrective element in closer proximity to where the concern is experienced.
Key Principles
![Page 34: ME - Product Pages Tested](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554cfd7fb4c90513118b55a4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Summary
1. Anxiety is lethal to conversion, and it can often be corrected with a simple, yet strategic, change to a product page element.
2. The effectiveness of an anxiety corrective is dependent on two essential factors:
• Specificity – How specific is the corrective to the source of anxiety?
• Proximity – How close is the corrective to the moment of concern?
