You spend the effort on diagnosis rather than on experiments. Session recordings, form field analytics and a handful of user interviews identify where people actually stop, and fixing an obvious break needs no statistical proof. Testing is for choosing between two reasonable options; it is not how you find out that your phone number is wrong on mobile.

Read: Most Landing Page Problems Are Message Match ProblemsEvery field on a form has a price, and the price is not the same for every field. A phone number costs more than an email address because of what people expect will happen next. An open "tell us about your project" box costs more than any of them, and it is also the field that most improves lead quality, which is a trade worth making deliberately rather than by accident.
Trust work is unfashionable and effective. A real address, a named person, a price range, a clear statement of what happens after the form is sent: none of it is a growth tactic, and all of it removes a reason to leave. The pieces here keep coming back to it because it is the part of the page that changes behaviour without changing the offer.
