What’s Missing From Landing Pages
- No video (no explainer, no testimonial video, no audit walkthrough recording)
- No social proof beyond testimonials (no “as seen on” badges, no TikTok embeds)
- No personal founder/builder story
- No Lake Norman local imagery (no photos of the area, no local landmarks)
- The “About” is just the team cards — no origin story
What’s Working Well
- The 15-min walk-through offer — low friction, “no pitch,” “you keep it either way”
- The score format — 42/100 “Poor” with competitor comparison is persuasive
- The price transparency — “$2k-$3k flat” filters out tire-kickers
- The team section — Ashley + Angelique build trust better than a generic “our team”
- The browser frame screenshot — “What someone sees first when they Google you” — that’s the guilt trigger
