## Mobile web — 68, Fair

The review focuses on the phone experience as a first-class citizen.

1. **Oversized headline block:** The monospace headline is barely scaled down; four tall lines push the CTAs to the bottom edge of the fold.
2. **Book a demo button:** The desktop-proportioned outlined button is narrower and less prominent than the command block above it.
3. **Five-line subheadline:** Body copy is scaled too large, wrapping to five lines and crowding the space before the CTAs.

The mobile fix plan converts these findings into a prioritized implementation checklist.

## Value props — 70, Fair

We evaluate whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product’s true value.

Sourcebot’s headline is **“Code understanding for humans and agents.”** Sourcebot is described as a self-hosted tool that helps humans and agents search, navigate, and understand complex enterprise codebases.

### Working

- “self-hosted” flags the key differentiator.
- “humans and agents” signals AI relevance.
- The `npx` command shows an instant setup path.

### Could improve

- No numbers or concrete outcomes.
- The hero graphic decorates rather than demonstrates.
- “Code understanding” is abstract on its own.

### How Sourcebot ranks for value props

1. **Sourcebot — 70**
2. **Sourcegraph — 68**
3. **Zoekt — 56**
4. **OpenGrok — 55**

## CTA — 72, Fair

We evaluate CTA copy, size, verb, and cost feel.

![Sourcebot in-product action](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/sourcebot.dev.jpg?v=2026-09-22T00%3A29%3A28.258%2B00%3A00)

The reviewed in-product action is an `npx setup-sourcebot` command.

### Problems

- No payoff copy near the command.
- Bare copy icon with no labeled affordance.
- Navigation makes “Book a demo” the primary action.
- The command itself has no verb or benefit.

### How Sourcebot ranks for CTA

1. **Sourcebot — 72**
2. **Zoekt — 72**
3. **OpenGrok — 68**
4. **Sourcegraph — 62**

[Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=sourcebot.dev#opt-cta-writing)

The CTA rewrite studio generates primary and secondary CTA options grounded in Sourcebot’s offer and visitor objections.

## Trust — 72, Fair

We evaluate proof that a product is real, competent, and safe to try.

| Product | Trust read |
|---|---|
| Sourcebot | “DEPLOYED IN” logo bar with NVIDIA, Shutterstock, SeatGeek, Chip, Arista, and Red Hat |
| Sourcegraph | Video card labeled “Agentic Batch Changes — Available today” |
| OpenGrok | Repository card “jdk” showing 23.4k stars, 6.5k forks, “updated 1 day ago” |
| Zoekt | Code-editor screenshot with tabs “game.ts”, “characters.module.css”, and “bonus-level.ts” |

### How Sourcebot ranks for trust

1. **Sourcebot — 72**
2. **OpenGrok — 68**
3. **Zoekt — 50**
4. **Sourcegraph — 42**

The proof-section builder helps choose proof signals and their copy and placement.

## Information hierarchy — 78, Fair

We evaluate whether the design helps or inhibits the page’s intended message.

![Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/sourcebot.dev.jpg?v=2026-09-22T00%3A29%3A28.258%2B00%3A00)

1. **Dual hero actions:** The dark command box and outlined “Book a demo” have equal weight, splitting the visitor’s next step.
2. **Navigation “Book a demo”:** This duplicates the hero CTA at heavier visual weight and pulls attention toward the corner of the scan path.
3. **Docs-link placement:** The underlined exit link sits directly beneath the action cluster and intercepts attention before conversion.

The layout priority plan turns these callouts into a sequenced plan to keep, move, merge, or remove elements.
