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

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.

03

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

2 of 8 of the buying-decision signals we could verify are on your site today. Only 2 of 8 buying-decision elements were detected. Visitors likely leave without enough reason to act, so adding these is the highest-leverage revenue work.

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)

  • Specific, quantified result — found: “2026 M”
  • Visible pricing / 'starting at' anchor — found: “$1”

Highest-impact additions to sell more

  • Clear value proposition (headline) — Lead with one headline that names the customer and the outcome they get, not a slogan.
  • 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.
  • Risk reversal (trial / guarantee / no card) — Lower perceived risk: free trial, money-back guarantee, no credit card, or cancel-anytime.
  • Easy lead-capture path — Give an easy capture path: short form, booking link, or contact route from the first screen.
  • 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 Nodes – A native macOS Markdown editor that runs its AI on device — 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. 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.

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.

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.
  • 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.

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.
