Of the 40 checks we ran on your page

Anything we couldn’t read is its own segment — a page that blocks our reader is our limitation, not a mark against you, and it never lowers your score.

Priorities

Fix these first

Ranked by revenue impact. Each one is something users — or an AI answer engine — need to see and currently can't. Fixing the top few moves your score the most.

01

No obvious button to start

Add a prominent call-to-action that encourages users to start their free trial immediately.

02

Search engines can’t tell what you sell

Add structured data (LocalBusiness / Organization schema: address, hours, phone, ratings) so search engines show you with rich results.

03

No price anywhere on the page

Include clear pricing information or signals to encourage users to sign up.

04

AI assistants have nothing to read

Publish /llms.txt with a concise machine-readable product summary, audience, pricing, and docs links.

05

Search engines have no map of your site

Publish /sitemap.xml and submit it to search engines.

What we read on your page

What a customer finds — and doesn’t

6 of the 8 things we could check are already on your page. Your page already has 6 of the 8 things a customer looks for. You don't need a redesign — just the few that are missing.

Below is the breakdown: what's already working (with the exact text quoted from your page as proof), and the highest-impact additions to win more trial signups — in priority order.

Scope: an automated scan of the 4 pages we could read across your site. Every “found” item quotes the exact text on your page so you can verify it. It doesn't judge copy quality or design.

Already on your page

  • A headline that says what you do — found: “ChessNotate Web” (on /web)
  • Reviews or proof from real customers — we found “review”, which points at it, but no actual review or rating on the page we read (on /privacy-policy)
  • A concrete number, not an adjective — found: “100%” (on /privacy-policy)
  • Something that removes the risk of trying you — found: “guarantee” (on /privacy-policy)
  • An easy way to get in touch — found: “contact us” (on /privacy-policy)
  • Answers to the questions people ask before buying — found: “1. What information do we collect?” (on /privacy-policy)

What to add, in order of impact

  • An obvious button that starts the thing — Put one clear action button on the first screen (e.g. Start free, Book a demo).
  • A price, or at least a from-figure — Show pricing or a 'starting at' anchor so buyers can self-qualify without emailing.

Deliverable

The full write-up is ready

We've already done the full work-up for ChessNotate — every fix written out, with copy and code ready to paste. Here's what's inside:

Complete fix plan (every issue, step by step)

1. No obvious button to start

Add a prominent call-to-action that encourages users to start their free trial immediately.

  1. Put one primary button on the first screen with action text (e.g. the suggested CTA below).
  2. Repeat the same CTA after the proof section and in the footer.
  3. Make the button visually dominant — one accent colour used only for the primary action.

2. Search engines can’t tell what you sell

Add structured data (LocalBusiness / Organization schema: address, hours, phone, ratings) so search engines show you with rich results.

  1. Add JSON-LD using the schema snippet below, edited with your real details.
  2. Validate it in Google's Rich Results Test before publishing.
  3. Keep it in sync with the on-page facts (name, address, phone, offers).

3. No price anywhere on the page

Include clear pricing information or signals to encourage users to sign up.

  1. Show pricing, packages, or a 'from …' anchor so buyers can self-qualify.
  2. If pricing is bespoke, give a starting price or a typical range.
  3. Pair each price with what's included so it reads as value, not cost.

4. AI assistants have nothing to read

Publish /llms.txt with a concise machine-readable product summary, audience, pricing, and docs links.

  1. Publish /llms.txt with a plain-text product summary, audience, pricing and key links.
  2. Keep it concise — answer engines reward clear, factual structure.
  3. Update it when your offer or pricing changes.

5. Search engines have no map of your site

Publish /sitemap.xml and submit it to search engines.

  1. Publish /sitemap.xml listing every indexable URL with <lastmod>.
  2. Reference it from robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
  3. Regenerate it automatically whenever pages change.

Why it matters

The fastest users do not read every page. They scan the first screen, trust signals, pricing cues and how easy it is to start a free trial. Missing signals make the offer harder to understand and easier to ignore.
