## Score over time

- **September 20, 2026:** 54; Live; Trust +4; Mobile web −4
- [September 10, 2026: 54; Overall −1; Trust −4](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/history/2026-09-10)
- [August 21, 2026: 55; first tracked report; strongest Value props 68; weakest CTA 44](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/history/2026-08-21)

## CTA — 44, Poor

We assess whether copy, size, verb, and cost-feel make the primary CTA earn the click. The listed problems are:

- No hero CTA at all.
- The navigation item is a label, not an action.
- No action verb.
- The CTA is hidden behind Menu on mobile.

The comparison scores for CTA are Quorum 68, Plural (Plural Policy) 68, Hathr AI / GovDash alternative — GovDash 68, Sweetspot 68, and Locke 44.

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

## Trust — 48, Poor

We assess proof that a product is real, competent, and safe to try. The trust reads shown for the comparison set are:

| Site | Trust read |
| --- | --- |
| Locke | “Backed by Y Combinator” badge above the hero headline |
| Quorum | Quincy product UI mockup with query “What are the sponsors of the bills saying about artificial intelligence on social m” |
| Plural (Plural Policy) | “Trusted by over 500 teams across advocacy, academia, and government affairs” above a logo row (Common Cause, NBCUnivers…) |
| Hathr AI / GovDash alternative — GovDash | “300+ teams have won billions with GovDash” line beside the customer logo strip |
| Sweetspot | Compliance badges: “CMMC L2”, “SOC 2 Type II”, “FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization (In Progress)” |

The comparison scores are Hathr AI / GovDash alternative — GovDash 78, Sweetspot 76, Plural (Plural Policy) 72, Locke 48, and Quorum 48.

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

## Mobile web — 54, Fair

We assess the phone experience as a first-class part of the page. The supplied mobile annotation identifies one issue: the **six-line hero headline** consumes most of the first viewport and pushes other content down.

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/locke.inc-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-20T05%3A05%3A21.609%2B00%3A00)

## Information hierarchy — 58, Fair

The supplied annotations identify four issues:

1. **Government Affairs button:** The only button-styled element in the fold is a navigation exit rather than a conversion action; the page has no primary CTA.
2. **Six-link nav bar:** Home, Company, Careers, Blog, Contact, and Government Affairs have equal weight, with no anchoring action.
3. **Mission section block:** A second heading and dense paragraph crowd into the fold and compete with the hero.
4. **Underlined body link:** The “Locke Government Affairs” link in the subheadline routes attention off-page mid-sentence.

## Value props — 68, Fair

The reviewed landing-page copy is:

> **Locke builds AI agents that help companies and governments work together.**
>
> Our agents power Locke Government Affairs, the first AI-native government affairs firm. We help companies monitor regulations, lobby policymakers, and win government contracts.

What is working:

- The subhead names three concrete jobs.
- “First AI-native” claims a category.
- The Y Combinator badge adds immediate credibility.

What could improve:

- The H1 phrase “work together” is vague.
- There are no numbers or proof points.
- Hero imagery decorates rather than demonstrates the product.

The value-proposition comparison scores are Hathr AI / GovDash alternative — GovDash 84, Sweetspot 78, Plural (Plural Policy) 76, Quorum 72, and Locke 68.
