Fix these first

Fix these first

Three edits, in the order that matters.

The first is on your weakest layer, the second on the next, the third on the layer the most buyers had a problem with. Each says what to change on the page and why, with one simulated answer behind it.

  1. Add a non-wellness case study to the project set.

    Why: Both projects are coaching and wellness brands, so a B2B or distribution reader sees no proof the method travels. One project outside those sectors, with a pricing or revenue outcome, closes the gap.

    Moves Differentiation
    Give a reason to choose you

  2. Replace case study adjectives with a before/after number.

    Why: Catalyst Wellness and Overtone Strategies describe outcomes as "clarity of services, brand recognition, and referral business" — no traffic, conversion, or revenue figures. Add one measurable change per project so the $7,500+ price has something to stand on.

  3. Pick one CTA between Apply and Book a Discovery Call.

    Why: "Apply To Work Together" at the top and "Book a Discovery Call" mid-page set two different commitment levels. Use one verb throughout.

Put a result beside the revenue headline.

Justify the $7,500+ price with what it includes.

Why: The Investment block states a number and a timeline with no scope beside it, and "Investment" reads as evasive when skimming. Rename it "Price" and list deliverables next to the figure.

Buyer evidence

Biggest risks

A deliberately adversarial read of the same answers. Each claim was checked back against what the personas said and dropped if nothing supported it.

  • high

    Pricing is stated with nothing to justify it, so the page invites price rejection instead of price acceptance

    Seven respondents found no before/after metrics, conversion figures, or client names, leaving the $4,200-$7,500 range unjustified; one asked for a B2B case with a pricing outcome before the investment could be defended. Naming numbers without proof converts…

  • high

    The page's strongest asset works against it: readers understand the offer well enough to disqualify themselves

    Six respondents praised the Right For You section for making fit obvious, while six read the singular pronouns as founder-to-founder and excluding anyone evaluating for a team. Clarity plus a narrow implied buyer equals efficient self-elimination.

  • high

    Proof and pronouns compound into one narrow buyer, foreclosing everything else

    Wellness and coaching case studies with no B2B or distribution work sit alongside copy six respondents read as solo-operator-to-solo-founder. Nothing on the page tells a coordinator or regional manager they belong.

  • medium

    The page cannot survive a skim

    Three respondents said the problem is framed abstractly and the audience is only recoverable from bullet points, with 'Investment' registering as friction on a skim. Anyone not reading top to bottom leaves without knowing who it is for.

  • medium

    Naming who you refuse to serve is doing the differentiation work that the case studies should be doing

    Four respondents cited disqualifying language as the clearest differentiator while seven found the case studies to be adjectives with no numbers. Confidence in tone is substituting for evidence of outcomes.

  • medium

    Readers arriving with an operational problem see a category mismatch, not a partial fit

    Two respondents evaluating phone ordering found nothing on order management, workflow, or integrations and dismissed the page as a web design studio irrelevant to their evaluation. The page does not redirect or reframe them.

Methodology

Every answer on this page was written by an AI model role-playing a buyer profile, scored on Wynter’s B2B Message Layers framework. The personas were sampled in code across role, industry, company size and behavioral traits; the model wrote only the answers. Scores arrive through fixed verdict categories and the counts are computed in our own code, so no number here was written by a model.

Score details: the count and the strength

The count is how many personas cleared the bar on each question. A yes can be unhesitating or come with reservations; the scorecard counts both as a yes, and this is the only place the difference is shown. Per layer:

  • Clarity: 15 of 15, 9 without hesitation, 5 with reservations
  • Relevance: 13 of 15, 8 without hesitation, 5 with reservations
  • Value: 8 of 15, all with reservations
  • Differentiation: 4 of 15, all with reservations

These answers are AI-simulated and directional. Validate anything you’re betting on with real buyers, your ICPs.
