What % of landing pages use a product screenshot vs video vs abstract art in the hero?

This is not computable as a per-page census: the web landing corpus (1,238 pages) and the mobile screenshot corpus have no working join, so hero media type per landing page cannot be extracted.[1] What the data does support is media incidence within tested experiments — video/cinematic in 68 of 488 hero experiments (14%) and product screenshots in 42 (9%).[2] Those are change descriptions, not a media-mix census.

Hero media mix is not a computable census; video appears in 14% of hero tests, screenshots in 9% — July 2026.

Finding: the honest limit

sites_screen_labels (web landing pages) and the screenshots table (mobile) do not share a working path or id join — a path match returns zero rows.[1] That means vision-derived hero anatomy (exact media type, CTA-button count, social-proof presence) cannot be computed for the 1,238 landing pages. Anyone claiming 'X% of landing pages show a screenshot hero' from this data is overreaching.

Breakdown: what you can say instead

Media incidence within the 488 tested hero experiments (non-exclusive keyword incidence over experiment text):[2]

Hero media themeCountShare of 488
Video / cinematic / full-bleed6814%
Product screenshot / UI mockup429%

This describes what changed in tests, not the resting media mix of all landing pages. Media is a minor share of hero tests overall — headline work (57%) dominates.

How to apply

Do not benchmark your hero media against a fabricated 'industry mix.' Use the incidence data to see that media swaps are a relatively rare test lever (14% and 9%), and prioritize headline before media accordingly. If you need a true media census, it requires a data source that joins page identity to vision JSON — which this corpus does not provide.[1]

Methodology. Universe: 1,238 web landing pages and 488 hero experiments, July 2026. Method: attempted census (blocked by missing join) plus keyword incidence on experiment text. Caveat: per-page media mix is not computable; incidence figures describe tested changes only.
