Demand Generation · Homepage Audit

Fidelity.ca is a content engine with a conversion leak.

An independent teardown of the Fidelity Investments Canada homepage through a demand-gen lens — how well it captures intent, builds a nurturable audience, and routes demand toward a sale.

Solid foundation · Leaky funnel

Best-in-class top-of-funnel content, undermined by a diffuse call-to-action strategy and a broken sales-capture path.

01  Executive summary

The homepage attracts beautifully, but converts cautiously.

Fidelity.ca does the hardest part of demand generation extremely well: it earns attention with a genuinely deep library of education, tools, and insight content. Where it leaves value on the table is the next step — turning that attention into identified, nurturable demand and routing it cleanly toward an advisor or product.

The page is built around browsing, not converting. The hero promotes a seasonal report rather than a durable value proposition; a dozen co-equal calls-to-action compete for the same click with no visual hierarchy; and the one explicit B2B capture point — “Contact my Sales team” — currently resolves to a placeholder # anchor, meaning a high-intent action goes nowhere. The raw ingredients for a strong demand engine are all present; they are simply not yet sequenced into a funnel.

◆ What's working

  • Elite top-of-funnel content. Education hub, insights library, calculators, videos and guides form a real organic + nurture engine.
  • Intent-based segmentation. The “I am an: Investor / Advisor” toggle routes two very different audiences from the first second.
  • Heavyweight trust signals. 2.2M investors, ~$400B AUM (dated), and Morningstar recognition establish instant credibility.
  • Multiple capture mechanics exist. Gated retirement report, “The Upside” newsletter, and an $8,000 FHSA sweepstakes give varied reasons to convert.

◆ Where demand leaks

  • !
    Broken sales-capture path. “Contact my Sales team form” links to /en/# — the most commercial CTA on the page is a dead end.
  • !
    No single primary action. ~12 competing CTAs with equal visual weight create choice overload and dilute every funnel.
  • !
    Capture is buried. Newsletter sign-up — the core audience-builder — sits near the footer with no on-page form.
  • !
    Hero sells a PDF, not a promise. The H1 is a report title, not a value proposition that tells a first-time visitor why Fidelity.
🧭
Context that shapes this audit: Fidelity Canada is an advisor-distributed asset manager — most investors buy its funds through a dealer, not directly on the site. So the homepage’s demand-gen job isn’t a checkout; it’s to capture intent, build a nurturable audience (“The Upside”), and feed advisor conversations. Judged against that job, the content strategy is strong and the capture & routing layer is the real opportunity.

06  Methodology

How this audit was built.

01 · Capture

The live homepage content, link graph, and brand system were extracted with Firecrawl, and the full rendered page captured as a single screenshot for visual review.

02 · Score

The page was assessed against nine demand-generation dimensions — from value-proposition clarity to measurement readiness — each rated on its contribution to capturing and converting demand.

03 · Prioritize

Findings were translated into nine recommendations, scored on impact and effort, and sequenced so the highest-leverage, lowest-cost moves surface first.
