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

Add a prominent search button to encourage immediate exploration of word origins.

02

Structured data

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

03

AI-readable llms.txt

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

04

Trust/legal signals

Incorporate user testimonials or academic endorsements to build credibility.

05

Clear page title

Make the page title more descriptive to highlight the unique features of Etymologue.

06

Meta description

Revise the meta description to better capture the essence of exploring word origins and meanings.

07

Sitemap present

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

Conversion evidence

How The Page Sells

4 of 8 of the buying-decision signals we could verify are on your site today. The page shows 4 of 8 buying-decision elements. Adding the missing ones is the most direct way to convert more of the visitors you already get.

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 increased searches — 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: “An interconnected dictionary of English etymology.”
  • Specific, quantified result — found: “14%” (on /stats)
  • Visible pricing / 'starting at' anchor — found: “plan” (on /about)
  • Easy lead-capture path — found: “form field on page”

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".
  • Social proof (testimonial / customers / rating) — Add a testimonial, customer logo, star rating, or an 'N customers' proof point near the top.
  • Risk reversal (trial / guarantee / no card) — Lower perceived risk: free trial, money-back guarantee, no credit card, or cancel-anytime.
  • Objection handling (FAQ) — Answer the top 3-5 buyer objections in an FAQ to remove hesitation before the CTA.

Deliverable

Your complete fix pack is ready

We've already done the full work-up for etymologue.com — 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

Add a prominent search button to encourage immediate exploration of word origins.

  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. Structured data

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. 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.

4. Trust/legal signals

Incorporate user testimonials or academic endorsements to build credibility.

  1. Add 2–3 real testimonials or case results with names/logos near the CTA.
  2. Link a privacy policy and terms page in the footer.
  3. Show any credentials, guarantees, security or compliance badges you hold.

5. Clear page title

Make the page title more descriptive to highlight the unique features of Etymologue.

  1. Write a 50–60 character <title> in the format: Primary outcome for [audience] — [Brand].
  2. Put the most-searched term first; keep the brand at the end.
  3. Make every important page's title unique — never reuse the homepage title.

6. Meta description

Revise the meta description to better capture the essence of exploring word origins and meanings.

  1. Write a 140–155 character description that states the offer and the next step.
  2. Lead with the benefit, end with a soft call to action.
  3. Include the term a buyer would search so the snippet matches their query.

7. Sitemap present

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 search for word origins. Missing signals make the offer harder to understand and easier to ignore.
