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

Include a prominent call-to-action that invites users to start their free trial.

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 price anywhere on the page

Clearly display pricing options or benefits of upgrading to encourage signups.

04

No easy way to get in touch

Simplify the process for users to access support or additional information.

05

AI assistants have nothing to read

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

06

Nothing on the page proves you’re a real business

Add the trust signals users look for — reviews, real cases or testimonials, credentials, and a privacy page.

07

Your page title doesn’t say what you do

Use a descriptive title that highlights hncli's functionality.

08

Nothing describes you in search results

Craft a compelling meta description that summarizes hncli's benefits and features.

What we read on your page

What a customer finds — and doesn’t

0 of the 8 things we could check are already on your page. We found only 0 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 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

  • None of the tracked selling elements were detected on the pages 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 is ready

We've already done the full work-up for An Hacker News TUI Reader, handcrafted in Rust — 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. No obvious button to start

Include a prominent call-to-action that invites users to start their free trial.

  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 price anywhere on the page

Clearly display pricing options or benefits of upgrading to encourage signups.

  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.

4. No easy way to get in touch

Simplify the process for users to access support or additional information.

  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.

5. 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.

6. Nothing on the page proves you’re a real business

Add the trust signals users look for — reviews, real cases or testimonials, credentials, and a privacy page.

  1. Add 2–3 real testimonials or case results with names/logos near the CTA.
  2. Link a privacy policy and terms page in the footer.
  3. Show any credentials, guarantees, security or compliance badges you hold.

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

Use a descriptive title that highlights hncli's functionality.

  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.

8. Nothing describes you in search results

Craft a compelling meta description that summarizes hncli's benefits and features.

  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.

Action order

48-Hour Fix Plan

  • Include a prominent call-to-action that invites users to start their free trial.
  • Add structured data (LocalBusiness / Organization schema: address, hours, phone, ratings) so search engines show you with rich results.
  • Clearly display pricing options or benefits of upgrading to encourage signups.
  • Simplify the process for users to access support or additional information.
  • 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.
