## Value props — 58, Fair

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

TryNearby’s headline is **“Word of mouth for local businesses.”**

### Working

- Emotionally loaded category owners crave.
- A UGC collage shows real buzz rather than stock art.
- A Y Combinator badge adds credibility.

### Could improve

- There is no subhead explaining what the product does.
- No numbers or proof points are readable.
- The mechanism is a total guess for new visitors.

TryNearby ranks **#2 at 58** behind Mustard/Sauce at **72**.

## Trust — 58, Fair

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

| Product | Trust read |
| --- | --- |
| TryNearby | A “Backed by Y Combinator” badge appears under the headline. |
| Mustard (formerly Marqii-style UGC / creator marketing for restaurants) — Sauce | A photo shows a real courier on a scooter carrying a Sauce-branded delivery bag reading “Support Local. Order Direct.” |

TryNearby ranks **#1 at 58**; Mustard/Sauce ranks **#2 at 44**.

## Mobile web — 58, Fair

We assess the phone experience as a first-class experience.

1. **Y Combinator badge:** The full-width pill occupies the prime CTA slot but is a credibility badge, not a tappable action; the only real CTA is the small header pill.
2. **Stacked comment cards:** Two full-size comment cards push the headline halfway down the viewport, delaying the value statement.
3. **Get Started pill:** The sole conversion action is a small header-sized button rather than a thumb-friendly near-full-bleed CTA.

## Information hierarchy — 68, 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/trynearby.com.jpg?v=2026-09-20T08%3A01%3A22.278%2B00%3A00)

1. **Refer a Restaurant link:** A secondary navigation CTA styled like a button draws attention away from “Get Started” before visitors understand the product.
2. **Headline lacks subtitle:** “Word of mouth for local businesses” has no supporting line explaining what TryNearby does or who acts next.

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

## CTA — 68, Fair

We assess copy, size, verb, and cost-feel: whether the primary CTA earns the click.

![TryNearby CTA capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/trynearby.com.jpg?v=2026-09-20T08%3A01%3A22.278%2B00%3A00)

TryNearby’s CTA is **“Get Started.”** The comparison shows Mustard/Sauce using **“Get a free demo.”**

### Problems

- Navigation-only, with no hero CTA.
- Generic label with no payoff named.
- Small footprint relative to the headline.

TryNearby ranks **#2 at 68** behind Mustard/Sauce at **78**.
