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

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.

02

No price anywhere on the page

Show pricing or a "from…" anchor so users can self-qualify before they reach out.

03

AI assistants have nothing to read

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

04

Your page title doesn’t say what you do

Make the page title more descriptive to highlight the unique benefits of HN Notify.

05

Shared links look broken

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

06

Search engines have no map of your site

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

07

No robots.txt telling crawlers what to do

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

What we read on your page

What a customer finds — and doesn’t

3 of the 8 things we could check are already on your page. We found only 3 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 subscriptions — 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.

Already on your page

  • A headline that says what you do — found: “Subscribe to your Hacker News Feed”
  • An obvious button that starts the thing — found: “Sign up”
  • An easy way to get in touch — found: “form field on page”

What to add, in order of impact

  • Reviews or proof from real customers — Add a testimonial, customer logo, star rating, or an 'N customers' proof point near the top.
  • A concrete number, not an adjective — Add a concrete number (result %, time saved, customers served). Specifics convert better than adjectives.
  • Something that removes the risk of trying you — Lower perceived risk: free trial, money-back guarantee, no credit card, or cancel-anytime.
  • A price, or at least a from-figure — Show pricing or a 'starting at' anchor so buyers can self-qualify without emailing.
  • 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 is ready

We've already done the full work-up for HN Notify — 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. 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).

2. No price anywhere on the page

Show pricing or a "from…" anchor so users can self-qualify before they reach out.

  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.

3. 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.

4. Your page title doesn’t say what you do

Make the page title more descriptive to highlight the unique benefits of HN Notify.

  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. 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.

6. 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.

7. No robots.txt telling crawlers what to do

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.

48-Hour Fix Plan

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 subscribe to notifications. Missing signals make the offer harder to understand and easier to ignore.
