Value props

68Fair

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

AthenaHQ’s headline sellsBecome the Brand AI TrustsSee, Act, and Win on AI Search and Beyond

Working

  • Headline names the real outcome: AI trust
  • Emotional, aspirational framing for marketers
  • "Get Free Audit (10m)" adds a time promise

Could improve

  • Subhead is slogan rhythm, zero specifics
  • No numbers or proof metrics in the copy
  • Hero art decorates; never shows the product

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Book a Demo button — Solid purple at equal weight to "Get Free Audit (10m)", splitting the primary action into two competing CTAs.
  2. Report announcement banner — "Get the report →" sits directly above the headline, siphoning the first click away from the audit funnel.
  3. Six-item nav row — Platform, Industry, Enterprise, Agencies, Plans, Resources plus Log in add seven exits before the value prop is read.

Trust

CTA

85Strong

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

Problems

  • '(10m)' clutters the label past 3 words
  • email required before any value delivered

Mobile web

90Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1
  1. Clipped logo strip — Customer logos are cut off at both edges ('EXCLAD', half of 'nextiva'), reading as a rendering bug rather than a carousel.
