## CTA — 42, Poor

We assess whether the primary CTA’s copy, size, verb, and perceived cost earn the click. Lilac’s captured primary contact action is the bare email address **contact@getlilac.com**.

### Problems identified

- No button; only a bare mailto link.
- Clicking an email feels costly.
- The link has no action verb.
- The action is cut off below the fold on mobile.

### CTA comparison

1. Together AI (GPU Clusters) — 81
2. Voltage Park — 76
3. Shadeform — 68
4. SF Compute — 62
5. Crusoe — 52
6. Lilac — 42

[CTA rewrite studio — Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=getlilac.com#opt-cta-writing) generates primary and secondary CTA options grounded in Lilac’s offer and visitor objections.

## Mobile web — 54, Fair

We evaluate 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/getlilac.com-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-22T15%3A19%3A53.113%2B00%3A00)

The annotated findings are:

1. **Cut-off Work with us:** The only CTA is a text link truncated at the bottom of the capture, far below the fold.
2. **Uncollapsed nav links:** NEWS and CONSOLE remain a desktop link row instead of becoming a collapsed hamburger menu.
3. **Stacked body paragraphs:** Four desktop-length paragraphs fill the fold and bury the action under prose.

[Mobile fix plan — View mobile fixes](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=getlilac.com#opt-mobile-web) converts these findings into a prioritized implementation checklist.

## Information hierarchy — 58, Fair

We assess whether the design helps or inhibits what the page is trying to say.

![Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/getlilac.com.jpg?v=2026-09-22T15%3A19%3A53.113%2B00%3A00)

The annotated findings are:

1. **Email contact link:** The sole conversion action is a small underlined mailto at the bottom of the copy, making it difficult to notice in a one-second scan.
2. **Four-paragraph stack:** Four same-weight body paragraphs create a text wall without headers or visual beats to guide scanning.
3. **Partner logo strip:** Six equal-weight logo tiles crowd the base of the fold and outrank the low-key email CTA above them.
4. **Console nav link:** Console, with News beside it, is the most button-like element in the fold and pulls clicks from the contact action.

[Layout priority plan — View layout plan](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=getlilac.com#opt-information-hierarchy) turns these callouts into a sequenced plan to keep, move, merge, or remove elements.

## Trust — 64, Fair

We assess proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

The supplied comparison includes these visual trust signals:

| Company | Trust read |
|---|---|
| Lilac | Logo strip: Osmosis, MiniMax, Z.ai, Moonshot AI, servers.com, Saturn Cloud |
| SF Compute | Logo strip featuring NVIDIA, Modal, Standard Intelligence, HeyGen, and MIT at the bottom of the fold |
| Shadeform | Customer logo strip featuring Tinfoil, Moises, Parasail, and Berkeley below the mobile hero |
| Together AI (GPU Clusters) | “TRUSTED BY” logo strip with Cohere, DeepMind, LG AI Research, VFS.Global, and ElevenLabs |
| Voltage Park | “TRUSTED BY LEADING AI LABS AND FAST-SCALING STARTUPS LIKE THESE” logo wall with Cursor, Arc Institute, Runware, and Covaria |
| Crusoe | Announcement bar: “Crusoe raises $3.9B Series F for its vertically-integrated AI infrastructure platform” |

### Trust comparison

1. Together AI (GPU Clusters) — 72
2. Voltage Park — 68
3. Lilac — 64
4. SF Compute — 62
5. Shadeform — 62
6. Crusoe — 62

[Proof section builder — Build proof section](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=getlilac.com#opt-trust-signals) helps choose proof signals and their copy and placement.

## Value props — 78, Fair

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

### Lilac’s headline and supporting copy

> **Lilac turns any GPU cluster into a reliable AI factory.**
>
> We run GPU clusters for the data centers that own them and the AI companies that lease them. Every cluster we manage goes through rigorous testing before it bills, 24/7 monitoring after, and support from the engineers who built the platform.

### What is working

- “Reliable AI factory” names the real outcome.
- “Tested before it bills” is a concrete promise.
- The founder pain story adds credible emotion.

### What could improve

- There are zero numbers anywhere in the fold.
- The right side of the hero is empty decoration.
- Four paragraphs dilute the core promise.

### Value-proposition comparison

1. Lilac — 78
2. Shadeform — 78
3. SF Compute — 76
4. Crusoe — 62
5. Voltage Park — 58
6. Together AI (GPU Clusters) — 56
