## CTA — 64, Fair

We assess CTA copy, size, verb, and cost-feel. The identified problems are:

- “demo” implies sales-call cost.
- The copy has no value or payoff.
- The hero button is small compared with the headline.
- The CTA does not echo the headline language.

![Pollen CTA capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/pollen.cx.jpg?v=2026-09-21T00%3A15%3A14.916%2B00%3A00)

### CTA ranking

1. Rogo — 72
2. Hebbia — 68
3. Pollen — 64
4. Brightwave — 62

[Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=pollen.cx#opt-cta-writing) to generate primary and secondary CTA options grounded in Pollen's offer and visitor objections.

## Value props — 76, Fair

Pollen's landing-page copy is:

> “Email Paul your work. Get it done, your way.”
>
> “Hire an AI employee trained on your firm’s exact workflows. Same results, in minutes.”

### Working

- “Email Paul” makes the mechanic instantly concrete.
- “AI employee” frames value as headcount rather than tooling.
- “in minutes” names a speed outcome.

### Could improve

- The fold has no hard numbers or proof metrics.
- The illustration decorates but never shows email-in, file-out.
- “Same results” is unverifiable without an example.

### Value-prop ranking

1. Pollen — 76
2. Rogo — 58
3. Hebbia — 58
4. Brightwave — 42

## Mobile web — 76, Fair

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

1. **Hero “Book a demo”:** the desktop-proportioned button occupies about a third of the column instead of being a thumb-friendly full-bleed tap target.
2. **File-name ticker row:** items such as `Investment_Co…` and `Consolidated_Holdings` clip mid-word at both screen edges, reading as broken layout.
3. **Header link row:** “How it works,” “Why Us,” and “Security” vanish on mobile without a hamburger, removing secondary navigation paths.

## Information hierarchy — 78, Fair

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

1. **Duplicate “Book a demo”:** the header repeats the hero CTA at equal weight, splitting one action across two targets.
2. **Low-contrast CTA button:** the lavender “Book a demo” fill is close in value to the cream background, weakening immediate discoverability.
3. **Navigation links:** “How it works,” “Why Us,” “Security,” and “Sign in” provide four exits before the visitor reaches the demo ask.
