Mock-up of a real audit deliverable

What you receive within 48 hours

One email with two attachments. The PDF is for your records and your team; the Loom is for the person who will actually do the work.

01

PDF audit findings

10-page document. 8–12 findings, each with a screenshot, plain-English description, business impact, recommended fix, and effort estimate (15 min · 1 hour · half day).

02

Loom video walkthrough

25–40 minute screencast walking your live site with each finding annotated. Playable to your developer, designer, or whoever does the work — they will not need explanation.

03

Cover page + TL;DR

Top 3 friction points and 1-week wins, in plain language. A composite GrowthFriction Score (0–100) so you can re-audit later and measure progress.

Sample findings

Three real friction points from real audits

Anonymised. Each one is the kind of finding you receive in your audit — screenshot, plain English, business impact, recommended fix, effort estimate.

Blocking · Fix this week

Hero takes 4.2 seconds to load on mobile

What we found
When a visitor opens your site on their phone, the main headline takes more than 4 seconds to appear. Most visitors leave before they see anything.
Business impact
If your site receives 2,000 mobile visits per month, this means roughly 400 visitors leave before they see your headline. At a 2% conversion rate, that is 8 missed inquiries per month.
Recommended fix
Remove the auto-playing video header. Replace with a static image at 80 KB or smaller. Use WebP format. Lazy-load anything below the fold.
Effort
1 hour for a developer · 0 hours for a Squarespace user (template setting)

At risk · Fix this month

No mention of who you serve in the first 5 seconds

What we found
“Strategic excellence for ambitious teams” — visitors who land here cannot tell within 5 seconds whether you serve them. Visitors who cannot tell, leave.
Business impact
Roughly 35% of visitors bounce because they cannot tell if they are in the right place. Specific audience naming typically lifts time-on-page by 60% and inquiry rate by 25-40%.
Recommended fix
Rewrite the hero to name your audience and what they get. Specific beats abstract. Example: “Strategy consulting for B2B SaaS founders building $1M-$10M ARR teams”.
Effort
30 minutes of copywriting

Opportunity · Fix this quarter

Zero LLM citations — ChatGPT does not know your site exists

What we found
When we asked ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity about your category, your site was not cited. In 2026, AI tools answer 30-50% of buyer-research queries. If you are not citable, you are not in the consideration set.
Business impact
Your competitors who appear in AI answers receive 8-18% click-through from cited sources. Over 12 months, this compounds into a structural traffic gap.
Recommended fix
Add an llms.txt file at your domain root. Add Article schema + Person schema (your name as author) on every page. Add a /methodology page. Submit your site to Wikipedia as a citation source where relevant.
Effort
2-4 hours for a developer · we provide the exact file contents to paste

The scope

Ten dimensions, one audit, one PDF.

Most website audits cover one thing — page speed, or copy, or SEO. Friction is multi-dimensional. A fast site with vague copy loses customers. Pretty design with broken mobile UX loses customers. SEO traffic landing on a cluttered hero loses customers. Your audit covers all ten.

Who runs the audits

Every audit is done by one person. Me.

I am Paulo de Vries, a solo founder running a 30-site web portfolio out of the Netherlands. No outsourcing, no junior auditor, no template prefilled by AI. The Loom video is me walking through your site for 25–40 minutes, naming what is friction and why.

I have audited 50+ public SaaS products in the GrowthFriction catalog, run sites on Cloudflare Pages + Vercel + Webflow, and authored the State of SaaS 2026, AI tools 2026, and SEO tools 2026 reports. The framework is real and published — your audit applies it to your site, by the operator who built it.

Frequently asked

Common questions

What is a GrowthFriction audit?+

A productized website audit covering 10 growth-friction dimensions. We review your site and send back a PDF (10-page findings) + Loom video walkthrough within 48 hours. €197 flat. No discovery calls, no scoping back-and-forth. Plain English (no CRO/SEO jargon). Built for non-technical SMB owners running Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Lovable, or similar website-driven businesses.

How does the 48-hour audit process work?+

Three steps. (1) Send me your website URL and a 1-2 sentence intake by WhatsApp (+31 6 1514 7952), email ([email protected]), or phone. The pre-filled message on the website button asks the four short questions I need: your site, what you do, who buys, what is bothering you. (2) I reply within a few hours (NL business hours) with a Stripe invoice link for €197 and confirm I have everything needed. (3) Within 48 hours of paid intake, you receive one email with a PDF (10-page findings document) plus a Loom video (25-40 minute screencast walking through your live site with every finding annotated). No discovery calls. No follow-up scoping. The PDF + Loom is the deliverable.

What 10 dimensions do you audit?+

1. Above-fold 5-second clarity. 2. Trust signals (reviews, testimonials, contact, social proof). 3. Mobile UX. 4. Performance (page speed). 5. Lead capture (CTAs, forms). 6. SEO foundation. 7. Copy + value-prop clarity. 8. Design polish + brand consistency. 9. Funnel order (the right things in the right sequence). 10. AI-discoverability (whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity can cite your site). Each finding gets a screenshot, plain-English description, business impact, and recommended fix with effort estimate.

Who is the audit for?+

SMB owners running website-driven businesses who are not technical and not marketers. Examples: local businesses (caterers, gyms, restaurants, salons, services), independent professionals (coaches, consultants, freelancers), early solo founders on no-code stacks (Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Lovable, Bubble). If you are a CRO marketer or growth specialist, you want crograder.com or CROAudit on crotool.com instead — different audience, different price, different jargon level.

Why €197? What does it cost competitors?+

Free auto-scan tools give you 1-2 dimensions of insight (usually performance only) and no actionable next-steps. Agency website audits typically cost €1,500-€5,000 and take 2-3 weeks. We sit between: 10-dimension scope at agency depth, 48-hour productized turnaround at €197. The price reflects 3-4 hours of focused operator time per audit, capped at 10-30 audits per month so quality stays high.

Do you implement the fixes for me?+

No. The €197 audit is diagnosis + recommended fixes + effort estimates. You (or your developer / agency) implement. The Loom walkthrough is designed to be playable to whoever does the work. This is what makes the productized service possible at €197 — fixed scope, no scope-creep into implementation. If you want done-for-you implementation, the audit findings come with effort estimates you can take to your developer or freelance marketplace.

What if you do not find any friction?+

In 50+ audits run as proof-of-method (see /audits/), every site had at least 5 friction points. The 10-dimension scope is broad enough that no public-facing site clears all 10 perfectly. If your audit reveals zero findings (it will not), full refund. We are confident enough to put that in writing.

One product. One price. One deliverable.
