ScoutTide — landing page micro-audit

Format of the $19 BTC micro-audit: 3 prioritized fixes, before → after, plus 1 metric to watch.

What the page says today

“Find your next customer, anywhere in the world.”

“In the last 24 hours, 16,361 new tenders were published.”

“By 07:00 UTC, the reading is done.”

Fix 1 (highest impact) — Hero: name the buyer and the overnight job

Before: H1 “Find your next customer, anywhere in the world.” is broad; the overnight tender+social match is the reason to care.

After:

H1: “Your morning queue of buyers who asked overnight.” Subline: “Reddit, LinkedIn, Upwork and 142 tender portals — matched to what you sell by 07:00 UTC.”

Fix 2 — CTA: two competing primaries

Before: Hero shows both “Find customers” and “Sign in”; the free-trial promise is below the fold.

After:

Primary: “Start free trial — first morning queue today”; secondary: “Watch the 2-min demo”.

Fix 3 — Offer: free trial scope is unclear above the fold

Before: “Start free trial” appears without what you get before paying or how many seats.

After:

Micro-line under CTA: “Free trial · morning digest in your inbox · cancel anytime”.

Metric hypothesis

If Fix 1 + 2 ship, watch free-trial starts from the hero primary CTA for 2 weeks against the current page; hypothesis only, no data from ScoutTide.
