| [Value props](https://www.lazyweb.com/yc-s25/panels#gs-value_props) | 28 | Poor |
| [CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/yc-s25/panels#gs-cta) | 30 | Poor |

## Score over time

We provide a score-history visualization for Panels and the comparison series for Vapi, Retell AI, Bland AI, and Vocode.

## Value props — 28, Poor

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

Panels’s headline is:

> “We power the next generation of Voice AI”

### Working

- Names the Voice AI category.
- Is short and legible on both desktop and mobile viewports.

### Could improve

- Gives no hint of what Panels does.
- Has no subhead, proof, or numbers.
- Uses a gradient hero that shows nothing informative.

### How Panels ranks

1. Bland AI — 82
2. Vapi — 72
3. Retell AI — 72
4. Panels — 28

## CTA — 30, Poor

We assess whether the primary call to action has persuasive copy, suitable size, a clear verb, and an appropriate cost impression.

The report includes example CTA screenshots from:

- Vapi — “Start call,” shown as an in-product action
- Retell AI — “Try For Free”
- Bland AI — “Book a call”

![Vapi in-product action](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/vapi.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-20T06%3A58%3A00.25%2B00%3A00)

![Retell AI](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/retellai.com.jpg?v=2026-09-20T07%3A02%3A09.179%2B00%3A00)

![Bland AI](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/bland.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-20T07%3A05%3A24.399%2B00%3A00)

### Problems identified

- No CTA appears anywhere in the fold.
- The navigation has only Home and Contact.
- The mobile fold is headline-only.
- There is no next step after the headline.

### How Panels ranks

1. Vapi — 84
2. Retell AI — 80
3. Bland AI — 64
4. Panels — 30

### CTA rewrite studio

Our **CTA rewrite studio** can generate primary and secondary CTA options grounded in Panels’s offer and visitor objections: [Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=usepanels.com#opt-cta-writing).

## Trust — 30, Poor

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

### Trust read

| Subject | Trust read |
| --- | --- |
| Panels | No visible trust signal identified. |
| Vapi | Ring testimonial: “We went from zero to production in two weeks, and 100% of our inbound volume now runs through Vapi” |
| Retell AI | G2 4.8-star rating badge above the subheadline |
| Bland AI | “672,759,648 calls resolved to date” counter beneath the Book a call CTA |

The Vapi, Retell AI, and Bland AI examples are customer or competitor-page examples, not Panels results.

![Bland AI trust example](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/bland.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-20T07%3A05%3A24.399%2B00%3A00)

![Vapi trust example](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/vapi.ai-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-20T06%3A58%3A00.25%2B00%3A00)

### How Panels ranks

1. Retell AI — 74
2. Bland AI — 74
3. Vapi — 72
4. Panels — 30

### Proof section builder

Our **proof section builder** helps choose proof signals and create copy and placement for a stronger trust section: [Build proof section](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=usepanels.com#opt-trust-signals).

## Information hierarchy — 42, Poor

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

![Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/usepanels.com.jpg?v=2026-09-22T15%3A45%3A59.13%2B00%3A00)

1. **Hero headline contrast:** “next generation” fades into the pink-blue gradient at nearly the same luminance, making the core phrase hard to read.
2. **Home/Contact navigation links:** The only clickable elements above the fold are exits. With no CTA present, attention leaks to these two links.

### Layout priority plan

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

## Mobile web — 48, Poor

We assess the phone experience as a first-class part of the page.

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/usepanels.com-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-22T15%3A45%3A59.13%2B00%3A00)

1. **Hero headline block:** No CTA accompanies the headline; the entire mobile fold offers nothing to tap.
2. **Panels wordmark:** The dark serif logo nearly vanishes against the dusky gradient background.
3. **Hamburger menu icon:** Thin, low-contrast lines make the only interactive element easy to miss.

### Mobile fix plan

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