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

What we noticed
- 1
The headline doesn’t say what BigBear does.
“Safeguarding National Security” 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
The clearest sentence is the smaller one underneath.
“Deploying advanced technology to the Nation’s edge in support of defense, intelligence, and homeland and border…” says what the product does. It’s doing the headline’s job.
- 3
There’s proof near the top.
It shows awards early, so visitors know other people already use it.
- 4
It talks about itself more than the visitor.
“We” shows up 6 times near the top, “you” 0.
Try: Rewrite two sentences so the visitor is the subject.

Analysis
Bigbear scores 62 out of 100, a C+. The basics are there, but the message is generic enough to blend in with competitors. That puts it around the middle of the 30,521 homepages we've ranked, where the median is 60. That's in line with the Media / Content / Publishing median of 62.
The headline reads "Safeguarding National Security". The headline makes a broad claim without saying what the product actually does.
The page has 15 CTAs, 8 of them above the fold. That's a lot of competing asks. When too many buttons fight for attention, visitors often click none of them. The main button, "Defense", is generic and doesn't tell visitors what happens next. Its CTA score is 30, below the median of 45.
There are signals about who this is for, but the audience could be sharper. Detected audience: Defense & GovTech, agency and operator. It uses a "for [audience]" line: "defense". Its ICP score is 55, above the median of 35.
Here's where Bigbear has the most to gain. Too many CTAs compete for attention. Cut to one primary action above the fold. The copy leans on overused buzzwords ("solutions", "solution") that water down the message.
Fix These First
up to +53 ptsRanked by estimated impact on your overall score
Reduce CTAs above the fold to one primary action
8 competing buttons leave visitors unsure which to click, so many click none
Add a pricing page
Hidden pricing adds friction, since most buyers want to qualify themselves before talking to sales
Make your CTA more specific
"Get started" is generic. Tie it to an outcome, like "Start building" or "See your report"
Rewrite your hero headline
The wording is generic, so visitors can't tell what you do from the headline alone
Shift copy from "we" to "you"
Your above-fold copy says "we" 6x but "you" only 0x. Visitors care about their problems, not yours
First Impression
C+ (60/100)“A visitor would think this is a defense & govtech for defense that offers something that deploys.”
| What kind of company? | Defense & GovTech | clear |
|---|---|---|
| Who is it for? | defense | clear |
| What does it do? | Something that deploys | vague |
