No hero text found. Visitors see nothing above the fold that tells them what you do.

Audience targeting is unclear. Detected audience: student. Role words found: "student". ICP clarity score: 18 (below the median of 35).

The biggest opportunities for Dur.ac.uk: Audience targeting is weak — adding a "for [specific role/company type]" pattern would sharpen the positioning immediately.
