Analysis
Thesaurus scores 64 out of 100 on homepage messaging, earning a C+ grade — mixed. Across all 30,134 sites analyzed, that's above the median of 59.
The hero text reads: "Thesaurus.com". Lacks action verbs. The hero does not describe what the product actually does, just makes a vague claim. The language is generic — a visitor can't tell what the product does from the headline alone.
The page has 2 CTAs, 2 of them above the fold. That's a focused set, which avoids overwhelming visitors. The primary CTA "Contact us" is generic — 'Learn more' and 'Get started' don't tell visitors what happens next.
Audience targeting is decent — there are audience signals, but room to be more specific. Detected audience: Media / Content / Publishing, student. Role words found: "student".
Thesaurus fits the "Community / Movement" archetype with moderate confidence. This means the homepage is rallying users around a mission or identity, not just a product.
On the pricing page: Show actual prices on your pricing page. Hidden pricing creates friction and drives visitors away.
The biggest opportunities for Thesaurus: First impression clarity is below median — visitors can't quickly tell what category this product falls into.
Fix These First

Rewrite your hero headline
Generic language — visitors can't tell what you do from the headline alone
Close first-impression gaps
Visitors can't quickly tell who it's for and what it does — those signals should be above the fold
Add a free tier or annual billing option
Low-commitment entry points (free tier, annual discount) reduce purchase friction
Rewrite your meta description
Generic meta description — this is what shows up in Google results
Make your CTA more specific
"Get started" is generic — tie it to an outcome ("Start building" or "See your report")

Gaps:
- -Business category is implied but not clearly stated.
- -No clear target audience defined. Could be for anyone, which means it resonates with no one.
- -Product function unclear from above-fold copy. Visitors cannot tell what this does.
- -Value proposition is weakly communicated. Benefits are implied, not stated.

Specific experiments to run, ranked by expected impact
Test adding "free" or "no card required" to your primary CTA
Risk-reducing modifiers typically lift click-through 10-15%
Test a "free" modifier on your CTA: "Contact us" vs "Contact us — Free"
"Free" is the highest-converting modifier across 27K+ homepages analyzed
Test a hero headline that names your product category explicitly
Generic headlines force visitors to scroll to understand what you sell. Test naming the category in the first 5 words.
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.
