Top 5 highest-impact fixes
Ranked by expected impact. Each fix has the issue, why it matters, how to fix it, and copy-paste replacement.
Hero headline is too generic — no clear differentiation
H1 'Financial infrastructure to grow your revenue' could be any payment processor. Visitors don't grasp why Stripe beats Adyen, PayPal, Square. A headline that names a measurable advantage raises perceived relevance and cuts bounce.
Rewrite the H1 to lead with a measurable competitive advantage; rewrite the subhead to name the target. The bracketed slots are deliberate — we never invent a number on your behalf, so each one is a figure you confirm before publishing.
Zero urgency or incentive to act today
With no urgency, visitors defer indefinitely. A temporal incentive or an immediate, verified benefit creates pressure to convert today instead of 'later'.
Insert a single urgency line directly above or inside the primary CTA, using a setup time you have actually measured.
Pricing invisible in hero — visitors don't know what it costs to start
Lack of pricing transparency creates friction: visitors assume hidden costs or 'enterprise-only'. Showing indicative pricing or a 'See pricing' secondary CTA reduces uncertainty and qualifies leads faster.
Add a pricing line beneath the subhead or as a tooltip on the CTA. Alternative: change the secondary CTA from 'Contact sales' to 'See pricing' so self-service buyers self-select.
Two primary CTAs compete for attention in the hero
Two equal-weight buttons in the hero dilute focus and increase decision paralysis. Self-service visitors get confused. A clear hierarchy (primary vs. secondary) or removing "Contact sales" from the hero improves clarity.
Keep 'Get started' as primary (solid colour, large). Convert 'Contact sales' to a text link or ghost button beneath the primary, or move it to the sticky nav. Optionally re-copy to 'Talk to sales'.
Logo carousel without quantified outcome context
OpenAI, BMW, Amazon logos build trust but communicate no outcomes. Adding a brief, verified metric below each — a figure you can evidence, not one we invent — turns the carousel from passive recognition to active proof — important for visitors who don't recognize all brands.
Add a one-line caption below 2–3 key logos with an outcome metric. Alternatively, link each logo to its case study with a hover 'See case study' CTA.
Hero rewrite — current vs. proposed
Financial infrastructure to grow your revenue.
Accept payments, offer financial services and implement custom revenue models — from your first transaction to your billionth.
Accept payments in 135+ currencies with [insert your verified approval-rate figure].
From startups to [insert your verified enterprise-customer proof], companies of every size scale their revenue with Stripe's financial infrastructure. Live in [insert your verified setup time]. No setup costs.
The current H1 is generic and doesn't differentiate Stripe from competitors. The new H1 leads with two concrete advantages: global reach (135+ currencies) and performance (a verified approval-rate figure). The rewritten subhead adds quantified social proof you can evidence, and clearly segments the audience (startups → enterprise), removing the ambiguity of “from your first transaction to your billionth.” The final line adds urgency and removes objections (setup time, hidden costs). This hero communicates specific value instead of a category description.
Three CTA variants
Drop-in replacements for your primary call-to-action, ranked by expected impact.
Emphasizes implementation speed (immediate benefit) rather than a generic action. Reduces the "this will take weeks" objection. Ideal for self-service and startups that prioritize time-to-market.
SHIP THISRemoves the initial-cost objection and adds temporal urgency ("today"). Works if Stripe has no setup fee or a free tier. Attracts price-sensitive SMBs comparing freemium alternatives.
Uses quantified social proof as motivator (FOMO). Positions Stripe as the industry standard. Effective for consideration-stage visitors comparing multiple processors and seeking market validation.
