01 / POSITIONING GAP
The visitor cannot place the offer.
A homepage needs to make the product, customer, and outcome recognizable. Broad claims and internal language force the visitor to do the positioning work.
WEBSITE CONVERSION / FIRST DIAGNOSIS
Why websites lose visitors before they take action.
A website can have useful pages, a polished design, and steady requests while still leaving a new visitor unsure. The first review should find the missing decision, not add more traffic by default.
Rule-based review: three page-specific findingsPublic beta: free access
SHORT ANSWER
Start with the decision, not the checklist.
Websites often lose potential customers when visitors cannot place the offer, verify the promise, or see a suitable next step. Diagnose those three gaps in order, using page evidence first and private analytics or experiments to confirm their actual conversion impact.
02 / TRUST GAP
The promise has nothing concrete behind it.
A visitor may understand the category and still hesitate when the page gives no customer context, workflow, example, or specific evidence near the decision.
03 / ACTION GAP
The next step asks for too much or means too little.
A vague CTA, competing buttons, or an early demo request can make action feel larger than the certainty the page has earned.
PUBLIC EXAMPLE / STRIPE
A broad promise still needs a clear next choice.
Stripe's public homepage leads with "Financial infrastructure to grow your revenue." The SiteLens teardown notes that the promise establishes the category, but smaller teams may still need help deciding where to start. A practical next move is to offer a business-model choice after the hero and keep proof close to that choice.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you change the page.
What is the first thing to check when a website does not convert?
Check whether a first-time visitor can say what the product does, who it is for, and what changes after using it. If those answers are unclear, more traffic usually increases the number of confused visitors.
How do I know whether the problem is the website or demand?
Separate page understanding from market demand. A public review can identify clarity and trust friction, while analytics, interviews, and experiments are needed to test demand and conversion impact.
Should I add more features or sections?
Not as a first move. More sections can increase decision load. Start by making the customer, problem, outcome, proof, and next action easier to recognize.
Can SiteLens review my website?
Yes. Submit a public homepage URL, a short description of the product, and the audience you want to reach. The free review returns three findings tied to visible page evidence.
