Ranked #7,379 of 30,521 homepages.

Clear line underneath, vague headline. A visitor has to read the small print to learn what it does.

What we noticed

  1. 1

    The headline doesn’t say what Authentic8 does.

    “SIGNALS AREN’T INTEL UNLESS VERIFIED” could sit on a lot of homepages. A first-time visitor still has to guess what you sell.

    Try: Promote the plainer line underneath to the headline, and cut it down to one short sentence.

  2. 2

    The clearest sentence is the smaller one underneath.

    “Grounded intelligence requires you to enter the threat space to ask questions, collect primary evidence, and gain…” says what the product does. It’s doing the headline’s job.

  3. 3

    There’s proof near the top.

    It shows a “trusted by” line early, so visitors know other people already use it.

Analysis

Authentic8 scores 68 out of 100, a B. The core message lands, but a few parts make visitors work harder than they should. That puts it in the top quarter of the 30,521 homepages we've ranked, where the median is 60. Among B2B SaaS sites, where the median is 73, it's 5 points behind.

The headline reads "SIGNALS AREN’T INTEL UNLESS VERIFIED". The headline makes a broad claim without saying what the product actually does. Its clarity score of 72 is above the overall median of 39.

The page has 15 CTAs, 3 of them above the fold. The main button, "See how", is generic and doesn't tell visitors what happens next.

There are signals about who this is for, but the audience could be sharper. Detected audience: B2B SaaS, analyst and team. It uses a "for [audience]" line: "your mission". Its ICP score is 58, above the median of 35.

Authentic8 fits the "Simplifier / Easy Button" archetype with moderate confidence.

The pricing page has social proof elements. 5 tiers is a lot. Two to four is the sweet spot, and past that buyers get stuck comparing options. Show actual prices on your pricing page. Hidden pricing creates friction and drives visitors away.

Test reducing pricing tiers from 5 to 3

Too many options cause choice paralysis. The ideal is 3 tiers with a highlighted recommended plan.
