Representative Example

Not a Client Project Audit Example

A pricing page that couldn’t answer “which plan do I need?”

A service business with three packages — and the same question showing up on intake calls that the website should have answered first.

Problem

The business offered three service tiers, but new inquiries kept opening with the same question: “Which one is actually right for me?” The pricing page wasn’t doing that work.

Observation

On review, every plan used the same card size, button style, and headline weight. Feature lists ran the same length. Nothing indicated which option most clients start with — so visitors treated all three as equally valid and stalled.

Recommendation

Name a recommended tier for the most common client type. Compare only the differences that affect the decision. Move full feature lists below the choice point so the page leads with clarity, not volume.

Outcome

The page could answer “which one is for me?” before the contact form — instead of passing that conversation to the first phone call or email.

Before vs After

Before

Before: pricing tiers with equal visual weight
  • All three tiers looked equally important
  • Feature lists were the same length — nothing to scan
  • No recommended starting point for new clients

After

After: pricing tiers with a named recommended plan
  • Recommended tier named for the most common client
  • Comparison limited to decision-relevant differences
  • Full details available below the choice — not before it
Applied fix

See the rebuilt pricing section

This is the pricing layout after the recommendation was implemented — a working version you can inspect, not a mock-up.

Audit note: When every option looks equally valid, visitors don’t choose — they leave or call. The fix is rarely a new colour palette. It’s naming the path most people should take.

Summary

The pricing page now does the qualifying work upfront — so intake conversations start further along, not at “help me understand your packages.”
