# Keep highly engaging form fields even if it means a longer form

**Evidence grade: Tested.** Outside evidence supports it: a published experiment, or customer sites where verify_change found the change live long enough ago to count as kept.

Observed on 3 corpus sites. Page types: contact, demo, landing, signup.

## Why it works

Visitors are more engaged with certain form fields that are relevant to their needs or help them describe their situation. Removing these engaging fields to reduce form length can actually decrease conversions because visitors want to interact with them. The number of fields matters less than whether visitors find the fields valuable.

## Evidence
