Public audit for rate.fm

What we found

Rate.fm is 2 fixes away from more trial signups.

Most of your page does its job. What is missing: no obvious button to start and no price anywhere on the page. That is a text change, not a redesign.

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

No obvious button to start

Put a clear "Start free trial" button on the first screen so a visitor can start a free trial in one tap.

02

No price anywhere on the page

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

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 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.

Already on your page

  • A headline that says what you do — found: “Rate your music.”
  • Reviews or proof from real customers — we found “Reviews”, which points at it, but no actual review or rating on the page we read
  • An easy way to get in touch — found: “Join the waitlist”

What to add, in order of impact

  • An obvious button that starts the thing — Your visible link text is passive (found: "Discover"). Replace it with an action CTA like "Start free" or "Book a demo".
  • 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

The full work-up for Rate.fm — every fix, with copy and code ready to paste.

Complete fix plan (every issue, step by step)

1. No obvious button to start

Put a clear "Start free trial" button on the first screen so a visitor can start a free trial in one tap.

  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. 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.

Action order

48-Hour Fix Plan

  • Put a clear "Start free trial" button on the first screen so a visitor can start a free trial in one tap.
  • Show pricing or a "from…" anchor so users can self-qualify before they reach out.

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.
