‘Fix this now, fix this later’ marketing advice for your website

Agencies, solo consultants, or software founders: Get a professional second opinion of your website, with feedback about what’s working (and what could be better) about your content, messaging, and SEO.

Is your website making you money? Or is it lazying about behind the dumpster smoking cigarettes when it should be working?

With a Website Teardown, you’ll get actionable, specific ‘fix this now, fix this later’ feedback on what to change to make your website your most effective salesperson.

Selling online is hard

You only have a few seconds in which to convince your new visitor to stay on your site — and if you make any part of your site, homepage, or sales page is the slightest bit confusing, your new visitor needs only to twitch their thumb to the back button to head back to Google and move on to your competition.

That’s why you need to design your website with the assumption that every visitor is a crazy, lazy drunk. That’s the key to a persuasive website.

Let’s break down our user’s pathologies and what they mean for us:

1. The visitor is a sociopath.

They care only about themselves, so you need to write to them.

The majority of consultant, agency, and app websites talk endlessly in the first person. “We’re number 1. Our process is great. We’re better, cheaper, and faster than those other guys. Blah blah blah.”

Who cares?

To succeed when selling things online, talk to your user. Hold up the mirror and describe them to themselves. You’re your own favorite topic. That’s true of everyone. So always try to talk to your visitor about themselves.

2. The visitor is lazy.

If you make it hard for your visitor to use your website, they will just give up and leave.

  • Have to click eight times to learn about your services? I’m leaving.
  • No clear next step to learn more before installing your app? I quit.
  • An endless cascade of pop-ups asking me for my email address at every turn? Get out of here!

Remove every friction point because your visitors are just that lazy.

3. The visitor is drunk.

Assume both your visitors reading and decision-making abilities are impaired.

  • Make everything big and obvious
  • Strip away all the unnecessary garbage on your site
  • Reduce any unnecessary decisions by making those decisions in advance for visitors through intelligent defaults or removing the decisions entirely.

For you see, though despite being drunk, your visitors are deeply distrustful of you.

First off, you went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND.

Your help defining my overall messaging as more ‘you’ focused was incredibly valuable. I also appreciated:

  • Your perspective on how to thin down content to make it more impactful on the pages (and saving the beefy content for blogs)
  • Your advice on how I can leverage my career experience and position myself as a specialist and industry expert in my copy and messaging
  • Your ‘action plan’ of tasks that you gave me to complete (this was SUPER high-value)!

I was really impressed how quickly you could reword my copywriting and headlines ‘off the rip.’ I was not expecting that. I told a couple of buddies about it and they shared that, “A marketing agency would have charged you THOUSANDS to re-write your brand messaging like that. He did it in an hour!” Your help defining my overall messaging as more ‘you’ focused was incredibly valuable.

I especially enjoyed the personal phone call and officially meeting you. You are a down-to-earth dude and the kind of people I want to work with.

You are a real pro, man. I would not hesitate to refer you to anyone needing marketing services. I really look forward to our next call.

What if your website was your most effective salesperson?

Is your visitor actually a crazy, lazy drunk? No, of course not – okay maybe some of them – but if you adopt these extremes as a mindset, and write, design, and market for them, then your website will work at its absolute best to convert visitors into prospects, leads, and customers.

Here’s the problem with most websites: they spend too much time talking about themselves and not enough on the customer or results.

You may be at a loss when it comes to knowing if your website is selling itself effectively.

Sure, you may have a great site — a beautiful site with wonderful content — but does it make you any money for your business? And if not, then why not, and how do you fix it? Even if you wanted to improve your website, most of us are left scratching our heads wondering where to even begin.

When I signed up for the Website Teardown, I was afraid that you would criticize some of the things I liked most about the site.

What I discovered was that it turned out that every suggestion or constructive criticism that you gave was about something that I knew I had skimped on or was something that I was unsure of (or forgot to go back and fix!).

Having a professional “second opinion” that reinforced my suspicions was super helpful. The actionable advice about how to fix certain deficiencies was icing on the cake!

In the critique, I liked that you focused on being constructive and non-judgemental.

For me, the major benefits were:

  • I knew exactly what areas were strong and no longer needed my attention
  • I knew which areas were weak and exactly how to improve them
  • My overall confidence level in the site was dramatically increased.
I would absolutely recommend this Website Teardown service to other consultants!

The video recording was a treasure trove of insights I could share with my team and quickly refer back to myself.

When I came to Kai, I was struggling with refining some wireframes for an upcoming website re-design.

Starting out with the teardown, Kai asked a few questions to understand our ideal customers. Then he got to work with a fresh pair of eyes and a seasoned perspective, always keeping in mind the type of person we’re trying to talk to.

Thoughout the teardown he moved easily from the 30k foot view to the microscopic, to in between, and back again.

Afterwards I was left with a video recording that was a treasure trove of insights I can share with my team, and quickly refer back to, myself.

This teardown has totally been worth it. The insights I’ve gotten give me some very specific paths to take, and will easily bring my website up 2 levels.

Kai’s interactions with me, now and in the past, have been extremely beneficial; he seems to always give truly actionable advice — not too much, not too little — appropriate to my business’ stage.

  Highly recommended.
