## Value props — 72/100, Fair

Chert’s headline is **“iMessage infrastructure for reaching people at scale.”** The supporting copy is **“Build and deploy AI on iMessage to reach people at scale while maintaining quality, trust, and personalized interaction.”**

### Working

- It names the specific channel: **iMessage**.
- The hero demo shows a real booked conversation.
- The YC badge adds credibility.

### Could improve

- There are no numbers or proof points.
- “Quality, trust” is abstract filler.
- “At scale” is repeated in the headline and subhead.

Value-proposition ranking:

1. [Textla — 78](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/textla.com)
2. Chert — 72
3. [Sendblue — 72](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/sendblue.co)
4. [Salesmsg — 72](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/salesmsg.com)
5. [Loop Message — 68](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/loopmessage.com)

## Mobile web — 78/100, Fair

![Chert mobile-web annotations](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/trychert.com-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-20T08%3A13%3A51.498%2B00%3A00)

1. **Hero headline block:** The headline wraps into four tall lines and pushes **“Book a Call”** to the bottom edge of the fold.
2. **Book a Call button:** It is roughly half-width and shares a row with a secondary link instead of stacking near full width.

## Information hierarchy — 82/100, Strong

![Chert information-hierarchy annotations](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/trychert.com.jpg?v=2026-09-20T08%3A13%3A51.498%2B00%3A00)

1. **Subheadline over illustration:** “Build and deploy AI on iMessage…” runs over busy background art, reducing legibility.
2. **Four-link navigation row:** Home, Case studies, Blog, and Contact, plus a duplicate Book a Call, create six exits competing with the hero CTA.
3. **See how it works:** The same-row secondary link pulls attention away from Book a Call at the decision point.
