What we noticed

  1. 1

    The headline doesn’t say what Cognite does.

    “Built for the Industrial Heroes” could sit on a lot of homepages. A first-time visitor still has to guess what you sell.

    Try: Say what it is and who it’s for, in plain words, in the headline itself.

  2. 2

    The main button is “Learn More”.

    It asks for a click without saying what happens next.

    Try: Name what they get: a demo, a quote, a free trial, a price.

  3. 3

    Nothing near the top says anyone else uses it.

    No customer logos, numbers or quotes show up near the headline.

    Try: Add a short proof line under the buttons: a customer count, a few logos or one real quote.

  4. 4

    It’s clear who it’s for.

    The copy names its audience, so the right visitors recognize themselves quickly.

Analysis

Cognite scores 70 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. That's in line with the Developer Tools / Infrastructure median of 70.

The headline reads "Built for the Industrial Heroes". The headline makes a broad claim without saying what the product actually does. Its clarity score of 49 is above the overall median of 39.

The page has 15 CTAs, 5 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, "Learn More", falls in the "Passive" tier. Its CTA score is 22, below the median of 45.

The homepage makes it obvious who this is for. Detected audience: enterprise, B2B SaaS, team. It uses a "for [audience]" line: "every use case". Its ICP score is 84, above the median of 35.

Cognite fits the "Platform / Ecosystem" archetype with moderate confidence. The homepage is positioning itself as a platform others build on, stressing integrations and extensibility over any single feature.

The pricing page has social proof elements and an FAQ section. 6 tiers is a lot. Two to four is the sweet spot, and past that buyers get stuck comparing options. Too many tiers create decision fatigue. Aim for 2-4 tiers with clear differentiation.

Even with a B, there's room to improve. Too many CTAs compete for attention. Cut to one primary action above the fold.

#1

Reduce CTAs above the fold to one primary action

5 competing buttons leave visitors unsure which to click, so many click none

Upgrade your primary CTA from "Learn More"

Passive CTAs like "Learn more" don't tell visitors what happens next

Rewrite your hero headline

Add a free tier or annual billing option

Shift copy from "we" to "you"

Your above-fold copy says "we" 8x but "you" only 2x. Visitors care about their problems, not yours
