AI crawlers (and human readers) make snap relevance decisions from the opening 150 words of a page — if the product name and a functional description do not appear there, the page is scored as low-signal and skipped. Leading with testimonial carousels, customer logos, or aspirational taglines forfeits the narrow attention window where citation decisions are made, regardless of what content appears later.
High because delayed key information causes AI systems to discard the page before reaching substantive content.
Rewrite the opening 150 words of each key marketing page so both the product name and a functional description appear in that window. Move customer logos, testimonials, and trust badges below the product definition rather than above it. Edit the hero section in src/app/page.tsx.

Severity: high
What to look for: Read the first 150 words of each key page (homepage, main product page, core landing pages). Count the exact word position where the product name first appears, and the word position where a functional description first appears. For each page, check whether these 2 elements appear within the first 150 words: (1) the product or site name, and (2) a verb or phrase describing what it does or what the page is about. This is the "inverted pyramid" — lead with the conclusion.
Pass criteria: Count all key pages checked. On at least 80% of key pages (minimum 1 page), the first 150 words contain both the product/site name and a description of what the page is about. The reader (or AI crawler) can understand the page's purpose from the opening content alone. Both elements must appear within the 150-word threshold — product name at word position N and description at word position M, where both N and M are no greater than 150.
Fail criteria: On more than 20% of key pages, pages lead with social proof (customer logos, testimonials), decorative content, or aspirational statements before explaining what the page is about. The product name and description don't appear until after 150 words of preamble. Report: "X of Y key pages have front-loaded info — Z% (threshold: 80%)".
Skip (N/A) when: Single-page utility or app with no marketing content.
Detail on fail: "Homepage opens with a rotating customer logo carousel and testimonial — product name first appears at word 210, description at word 230. Both must appear within first 150 words." or "1 of 3 key pages have front-loaded info (33%) — threshold is 80%. /pricing leads with trust badges — product description at word 180"
Remediation: Lead with the substance. AI systems (and impatient users) need to understand the page immediately:
