## CTA — 68, Fair

The CTA review assesses copy, size, verb, and cost-feel: whether the primary CTA earns the click. The report identifies three problems:

- The click feels like a sales-call commitment.
- The label has no value payoff.
- There is no low-friction alternative CTA.

CTA ranking is **#1 Cut+Dry 72, #2 Asakana 68, #3 Pepper 68, #4 OrderEZ 58**.

[Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=asakana.co#opt-cta-writing) to generate primary and secondary CTA options grounded in Asakana’s offer and visitor objections.

## Mobile web — 72, Fair

The mobile review evaluates the phone experience as a first-class experience.

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/asakana.co-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-20T05%3A49%3A45.361%2B00%3A00)

The annotated findings are:

1. **Overlapping demo card:** the WeChat message card renders on top of a ghosted “ERP ORDER DRAFT” table, creating an unreadable jumble of superimposed text.
2. **Broken tofu characters:** the message ends in placeholder boxes (missing-glyph characters), which reads as a mobile rendering bug.
3. **Book a Demo button:** the primary CTA is desktop-proportioned and spans roughly half the column instead of being a thumb-friendly full-width tap target.

## Information hierarchy — 74, Fair

The report asks whether the design helps or inhibits what the page is trying to say.

The annotated findings are:

1. **WeChat message card:** the raw message text wall with heavy highlighting demands close reading and shows the problem, not the ERP-draft outcome Asakana promises.
2. **Broken emoji glyphs:** tofu boxes (**口口口**) at the end of the message card read as a rendering bug and undercut polish at the key demo moment.
3. **Seven-link navigation row:** six navigation items plus Login sit at equal weight beside “Book a Demo,” creating seven exits before the primary action.

## Value props — 82, Strong

The report evaluates whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product’s true value.

### Headline and subtitle

> **“Automate order entry for food distributors”**
>
> “Orders from text, calls, voicemail, email and WhatsApp become drafts in your system.”

### What is working

- Names the exact buyer: food distributors.
- Lists all five messy input channels: text, calls, voicemail, email, and WhatsApp.
- Shows a real WeChat order being parsed in the hero.

### What could improve

- Provides no numbers for time saved, error rate, or order volume.
- Does not name the pain of manual keying.
- The mobile hero demo renders as a jumbled overlap.

Value-proposition ranking is **#1 Asakana 82, #2 OrderEZ 62, #3 Pepper 58, #4 Cut+Dry 58**.

## Competitors

The report infers competitors from product, audience, and value proposition:

1. [Cut+Dry — cutanddry.com — 72](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/cutanddry.com)
2. Asakana — 70
3. [Pepper — usepepper.com — 67](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/usepepper.com)
4. [OrderEZ — orderez.co — 60](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/orderez.co)
