Value props

72Fair

Title, subtitle, hero — do they sell the product's true value?

The Prompting Company’s headline sellsGet discovered & used by Google AIYou optimized for user experience. Now optimize for AGENT EXPERIENCE.

Working

  • Rotating AI logos make the outcome concrete
  • "Agent experience" reframe hits FOMO
  • YC badge lends credibility

Could improve

  • No numbers or proof of results
  • Hero art decorates, never demonstrates
  • Mechanism of how it works is absent

Information hierarchy

78Fair

Does the design help or inhibit what the page is trying to say?

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Announcement pill above headline — "NEW! Try Agent Experience" with a "Book a call" arrow sits directly above the headline and intercepts the scan path with a competing action.
  2. Duplicate Start free trial — The nav's black "Start free trial" pill matches the hero CTA's weight, splitting attention between two identical-looking buttons.
  3. Sign in button — Outlined pill styled nearly as prominently as the primary CTA, adding an equal-weight exit right next to it.

Mobile web

84Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Start free trial button — Desktop-proportioned pill floating narrow in the phone column instead of a full-bleed thumb target.
  2. Agent Experience banner — Two competing tap targets ('NEW!' dropdown and 'Book a call') sit above the headline and pull attention from the primary CTA.

CTA

86Strong

Copy, size, verb, cost-feel — does the primary CTA earn the click?

Problems

  • 'trial' hints at eventual cost
  • no echo of headline promise
