The Five-Second Test

Most visitors decide fast if your product is for them. If they don't get it, they leave. This test helps you find the one thing to say first.

You rank four short lists about your business. Ranking is the hard part. It makes you choose.

What you get

  • A first draft of your one-line pitch
  • A focus score that shows if your message is clear or scattered
  • One tip on what to fix first
I read every result myself.

What does your product do?

Write down up to five things your product does. Start each one with a verb, like "Tracks" or "Sends." Then drag them into order. Put the one customers pay for at the top.

What it does

Drag or use the arrows
Stuck? Think about what customers mention when they renew. Skip whatever took you the longest to build.

Who do you sell to?

List the types of customers you have today. Then rank them three times. Each list asks a different question.

Your types of customers

Two to five

Who signed the fastest?

Who uses it the most?

Who would miss it most?

Does the same customer win every list? Great. Does it change every time? That's useful too. It shows where your message splits.

What do buyers use today instead of you?

Rank what your buyers do now, before they find you. Put the most common one at the top. Change the examples or add your own.

What they use instead

Drag or use the arrows
"Doing nothing" counts. It's often your biggest competitor.

What makes someone start looking?

Write down the moments that make a buyer search for a product like yours. Then rank them. Put the most common one at the top.

The moments

Drag or use the arrows
Pick real moments. "They want to grow" is true for everyone, so it tells you nothing.

Your result is ready.

Tell me where to send it. You'll also see it on the next screen.

I read every result myself. If I spot something useful, I'll send you a short note.
