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. Lead the Approach section with the strategy-before-design claim.

    Why: 'The signature approach on every project to build something built to last' is a line any agency could write. Replace it with the actual differentiator: a written strategy document and sign-off before anything is designed.

    Moves Differentiation
    Give a reason to choose you

  2. Add numbers to both case study summaries.

    Why: 'Catalyst Wellness' and 'Overtone Strategies' describe what was built but never what it returned — no traffic, lead, conversion or revenue figures. The claim about turning feeling into 'revenue you can count on' sits far from any evidence.

Differentiation

Weak7 of 15
Moves DifferentiationConclusion first

Front-load the Strategy paragraph with what the client receives.

Why: 'This phase sits at the very front on purpose' delays the deliverable into a 60-word run-on. Open with the strategy document and its contents — that concrete artefact is what readers restate as the reason to choose.

Moves DifferentiationHeadings stand alone

Name repeat clients in the headings, not buried in prose.

Why: 'A returning client brought back for further work' is the most persuasive fact on the page and it is hidden in the second sentence of a paragraph. Put the client names and repeat engagements where a scanner sees them.

Value

Mixed9 of 15
Moves ValueProof next to the claim

Put a client outcome number next to the revenue claim.

Why: 'Turns that feeling people already have into revenue you can count on' is asserted and then left alone for the whole page. Place one named before/after result directly beneath it.

State price range and engagement length near the top.

Why: Pricing and scope surface only at the bottom, so readers weigh the investment without knowing it. Naming the range early lets the right buyer judge value against the outcomes described.

Cut poetic lines like 'stalls at the edge of the room'.

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

    The page's central revenue promise is unsupported, so every downstream proof asset collapses into assertion.

    Eight of 15 respondents flag case studies with no traffic, lead, conversion, or before/after data, and several tie this directly to justifying the investment. The strongest single negative on the page.

  • high

    Named clients and a restatable process cannot rescue proof that has no numbers attached to it.

    Three respondents credit named repeat clients and four the strategy-first process, but eight say the case studies carry no metrics — the credible-sounding assets are decorative rather than evidentiary.

  • high

    The page filters buyers in and then gives them nothing to do, wasting its own best asset.

    Ten respondents name the 'Right For You If' section as the clearest element, yet respondents also report no urgency or cost-of-delay messaging. Qualification without a reason to act now converts to nothing.

  • high

    The register disqualifies the page from any purchase involving more than one signature.

    Five respondents say the emotional, poetic, philosophical tone fits an owner-operator solo call and misfires on budget holders, skimming executives, and vendor-comparison committees — the exact audiences the multi-stakeholder sign-off process claims to serve.

  • medium

    Withholding scope and firm size until pricing sets up a late-stage disqualification the page should have handled up front.

    Three respondents say abstract language obscures the service, with pricing and scope only later revealing a single-person boutique; one concluded the firm size was wrong for the need after investing reading time.

  • medium

    The page's clarity is concentrated in one section while the rest of the copy works against it.

    Ten respondents credit the explicit inclusion/exclusion filter, but three still found the surrounding language abstract enough to obscure what is being sold. Clarity in one block does not survive the page around it.

Differentiation

  • The strategy-first process is the differentiator respondents could actually restate

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, 12 without hesitation, 3 with reservations
  • Relevance: 14 of 15, 2 without hesitation, 12 with reservations
  • Value: 9 of 15, all with reservations
  • Differentiation: 7 of 15, all with reservations

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