Test adding "free" or "no card required" to your primary CTA

Risk-reducing modifiers typically lift click-through 10-15%

medium

Test a "free" modifier on your CTA: "Sign up for delivery" vs "Sign up for delivery — Free"

"Free" is the highest-converting modifier across 27K+ homepages analyzed

medium

Test a "Built for [role/company type]" line under your hero

The "for X" pattern is the fastest way to sharpen positioning. Test it as a subheadline.

medium

Test adding social proof above the fold (customer count, logos, or testimonial)

No social proof detected. Even one trust signal ("Join 500+ teams") can lift conversions significantly.

medium

Test adding an annual/monthly billing toggle with a discount

Annual billing toggles with visible savings ("Save 20%") are a standard conversion lever.
