Priorities

Top Leaks To Fix 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

Direct conversion CTA

Put a clear "Start free trial" button above the fold so a visitor can start a free trial in one tap.

02

AI-readable llms.txt

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

Conversion evidence

How The Page Sells

7 of 8 of the buying-decision signals we could verify are on your site today. The page already shows 7 of 8 buying-decision elements. The remaining lift is in sharpening the ones that are missing, not rebuilding the page.

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 5 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.

Selling well (detected, with proof)

  • Clear value proposition (headline) — found: “A writing support tool that shows its work”
  • Social proof (testimonial / customers / rating) — found: “Case study”
  • Specific, quantified result — found: “48 hours”
  • Risk reversal (trial / guarantee / no card) — found: “guarantee” (on /terms)
  • Visible pricing / 'starting at' anchor — found: “Pricing”
  • Easy lead-capture path — found: “Contact us”
  • Objection handling (FAQ) — found: “Frequently asked questions”

Highest-impact additions to sell more

  • Action-oriented primary CTA — Your visible link text is passive (found: "Explore"). Replace it with an action CTA like "Start free" or "Book a demo".

Deliverable

Your complete fix pack is ready

We've already done the full work-up for Colophon:Show HN: Colophon: Google Docs Writing Process Log — 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. Direct conversion CTA

Put a clear "Start free trial" button above the fold so a visitor can start a free trial in one tap.

  1. Place one primary button above the fold 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. AI-readable llms.txt

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.

Action order

48-Hour Fix Plan

  • Put a clear "Start free trial" button above the fold so a visitor can start a free trial in one tap.
  • Publish /llms.txt with a concise machine-readable product summary, audience, pricing, and docs links.

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.
