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

Structured data

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

03

Contact or booking path

Make it easy to start a free trial from the homepage — a visible form, booking link, or tap-to-call number.

04

AI-readable llms.txt

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

05

Sitemap present

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

06

Robots file present

Conversion evidence

How The Page Sells

5 of 8 of the buying-decision signals we could verify are on your site today. The page shows 5 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 trial signups — in priority order.

Scope: an automated scan of the 2 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: “Everything between your Mac app and a paying customer.”
  • Specific, quantified result — found: “1.2 M”
  • Risk reversal (trial / guarantee / no card) — found: “refund”
  • Visible pricing / 'starting at' anchor — found: “$9”
  • Objection handling (FAQ) — found: “FAQ”

Highest-impact additions to sell more

  • Action-oriented primary CTA — Place one clear action button above the fold (e.g. Start free, Book a demo).
  • Social proof (testimonial / customers / rating) — Add a testimonial, customer logo, star rating, or an 'N customers' proof point near the top.
  • Easy lead-capture path — Give an easy capture path: short form, booking link, or contact route from the first screen.

Deliverable

Your complete fix pack is ready

We've already done the full work-up for Hawser – sign, notarize, DMG, auto — 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. 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. Contact or booking path

Make it easy to start a free trial from the homepage — a visible form, booking link, or tap-to-call number.

  1. Add a visible booking link, short form, or tap-to-call number on the first screen.
  2. Keep the form to 3 fields max; every extra field drops completion.
  3. Confirm submissions with a clear success state, not a silent reload.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Robots file present

Publish /robots.txt with a sitemap reference and no accidental blocking.

  1. Publish /robots.txt that allows crawling and points to your sitemap.
  2. Double-check you are not accidentally Disallow-ing the whole site.
  3. Remove any leftover 'Disallow: /' from staging.

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.
  • Add structured data (LocalBusiness / Organization schema: address, hours, phone, ratings) so search engines show you with rich results.
  • Make it easy to start a free trial from the homepage — a visible form, booking link, or tap-to-call number.
  • Publish /llms.txt with a concise machine-readable product summary, audience, pricing, and docs links.
  • Publish /sitemap.xml and submit it to search engines.

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.
