Very Cooked

Serious clarity, trust, or conversion problems.

Thirty-seven years of trust, zero pixels of proof.

The Roast

Nobody knows what you sell until they've already emotionally left the page.

Serious Diagnosis

The core value proposition is not communicated within the first five seconds of exposure.

Primary Cause of Death

Claims without receipts.

Secondary Injuries
  • A buyer finishing this page knows less than when they arrived. That's a skill, but not a useful one.
  • Your CTA is hiding like it owes somebody money.
Top Leaks — 5 found
1. Weak hero messagecritical

The above-the-fold section does not state what you sell, who it's for, or the outcome. Visitors bounce before scrolling.

2. No buyer-specific outcomecritical

The visitor can't tell if this works for someone in their exact situation.

3. Buried CTAmajor

The primary action is below the fold, visually weak, or worded with zero intent ('Learn More').

4. Broken conversion pathmajor

Too many steps, competing actions, or dead ends between interest and purchase.

5. Generic copyminor

Abstract, feature-led language that could describe any business in your category.

What this is costing you

Roughly 50 in 100 qualified visitors hit a leak before they hit a CTA. You are paying full price for traffic and keeping a fraction of it.
