Analysis
Abc7chicago scores 37 out of 100 on homepage messaging, earning a D grade — below average — significant gaps in clarity or targeting. Across all 30,134 sites analyzed, that's well below the median of 59. Within B2C SaaS / Consumer App, where the median is 64, Abc7chicago lands 27 points below the industry average.
No hero text found. Visitors see nothing above the fold that tells them what you do. With a clarity score of 21, Abc7chicago is below the overall median of 36.
The page has 4 CTAs, 3 of them above the fold. That's enough to trigger decision paralysis — when too many buttons compete for attention, visitors often click none. The primary CTA "Former Oswego East baseball player to start for W…" is a value-oriented CTA — it promises a benefit, not just an action.
Audience targeting is decent — there are audience signals, but room to be more specific. Detected audience: B2B SaaS, CEO. Role words found: "CEO".

3 competing CTAs detected. Single-CTA pages typically convert 20-30% better.
Test adding social proof above the fold (customer count, logos, or testimonial)
No social proof detected. Even one trust signal ("Join 500+ teams") can lift conversions significantly.
Test adding an annual/monthly billing toggle with a discount
Annual billing toggles with visible savings ("Save 20%") are a standard conversion lever.
Test adding a one-line product description directly under your hero
Visitors can't tell what you do from the above-fold content. A single explanatory line can fix this.
