Priorities

Fix these first

Ranked by revenue impact. Each one is something developers — 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

Replace generic tag list with a prominent, interactive filter bar (e.g., 'Show me stories about: [Rust] [LLMs] [Security] [All]') that loads filtered results instantly on click.

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 easy way to get in touch

Make it easy to filter and read topic-specific Hacker News stories from the homepage — a visible form, booking link, or tap-to-call number.

04

Your page title doesn’t say what you do

Rename page title to 'HN Reader: Filter Hacker News by Topic (AI/ML, Rust, Security, LLMs, etc.)' to signal topical precision and intent.

05

Nothing describes you in search results

Update meta description to 'Filter Hacker News in real time by technical topics — AI/ML, Rust, LLMs, security, web-dev, and 30+ more. Updated every minute.'

06

No single clear headline

Add one clear H1 that names the target customer and result.

07

Shared links look broken

Add Open Graph tags so shared links render with a clear title and value proposition.

What we read on your page

What a customer finds — and doesn’t

2 of the 8 things we could check are already on your page. We found only 2 of the 8 things a customer looks for before they act. Most visitors are leaving without enough reason to call, book or buy.

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 active users and recurring engagement — in priority order.

Scope: an automated scan of the 1 page 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 concrete number, not an adjective — found: “81%”
  • A price, or at least a from-figure — we found “plans”, which points at it, but no actual figure on the page we read

What to add, in order of impact

  • A headline that says what you do — Lead with one headline that names the customer and the outcome they get, not a slogan.
  • An obvious button that starts the thing — Put one clear action button on the first screen (e.g. Start free, Book a demo).
  • Reviews or proof from real customers — Add a testimonial, customer logo, star rating, or an 'N customers' proof point near the top.
  • Something that removes the risk of trying you — Lower perceived risk: free trial, money-back guarantee, no credit card, or cancel-anytime.
  • An easy way to get in touch — Give an easy capture path: short form, booking link, or contact route from the first screen.
  • Answers to the questions people ask before buying — Answer the top 3-5 buyer objections in an FAQ to remove hesitation before the CTA.

Deliverable

The full write-up

The full work-up for Hacker News, a little more focused — every fix, with copy and code ready to paste.

Complete fix plan (every issue, step by step)

1. No obvious button to start

Replace generic tag list with a prominent, interactive filter bar (e.g., 'Show me stories about: [Rust] [LLMs] [Security] [All]') that loads filtered results instantly on click.

  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 easy way to get in touch

Make it easy to filter and read topic-specific Hacker News stories 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. Your page title doesn’t say what you do

Rename page title to 'HN Reader: Filter Hacker News by Topic (AI/ML, Rust, Security, LLMs, etc.)' to signal topical precision and intent.

  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.

5. Nothing describes you in search results

Update meta description to 'Filter Hacker News in real time by technical topics — AI/ML, Rust, LLMs, security, web-dev, and 30+ more. Updated every minute.'

  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.

6. No single clear headline

Add one clear H1 that names the target customer and result.

  1. Add exactly one <h1> at the top of the page that names the customer and the result.
  2. Make it real text (not an image or a JavaScript-only node) so crawlers and AI read it.
  3. Demote decorative headings to <h2>/<h3> so the hierarchy is clean.

7. Shared links look broken

Add Open Graph tags so shared links render with a clear title and value proposition.

  1. Add og:title, og:description, og:image and og:url to <head>.
  2. Use a 1200×630 share image with the value proposition baked in.
  3. Test the preview with the Facebook/LinkedIn debuggers.

Why it matters

The fastest developers do not read every page. They scan the first screen, trust signals, pricing cues and how easy it is to filter and read topic-specific Hacker News stories. Missing signals make the offer harder to understand and easier to ignore.
