Case studies or results evidence is accessible
Why it matters
Testimonials say "it worked for me," but case studies say "here is exactly how it worked, with numbers" — and for B2B buyers comparing vendors, a single quantified success story often moves the deal more than ten one-line quotes. A marketing site with customer logos but no linked stories leaves prospects guessing at outcomes, forcing them to book a demo just to ask the question a published case study would have already answered.
Severity rationale
Low because case studies accelerate B2B conversion but their absence does not break the funnel itself.
Remediation
Publish at least one detailed customer success story with a concrete outcome metric, and link to it from the logo strip or testimonials section. In Next.js App Router, create the route at app/(marketing)/customers/[slug]/page.tsx and render it with a "Read how [Company] achieved [Outcome]" call-to-action. If you cannot write a full case study yet, surface a quantified inline statistic such as "Customers see 40% faster onboarding" in the hero or results section.
