Before you build

Find out if people will buy — before you build it

A page for a product that doesn't exist yet, a waitlist instead of checkout, and a report that tells you exactly what to change.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe the idea

    Pick the “Idea check” template: what people get, what it costs, and an “I want in first” form. There's no pay button — taking money for something that doesn't exist yet would be a lie.

  2. 2

    Bring people in

    Publish the page and share it: ads, social media, a newsletter. Want to compare two headlines? Run an A/B test.

  3. 3

    Read the answer

    A “Path to a submission” report appears in analytics: how many people came, how many saw the form, and how many signed up.

What the report tells you

The report doesn't compare you to a made-up “norm”. It shows the step where most people drop off — and what to do about it.

Example report

Path to a submission

counted in visits, not clicks
  1. Came240
  2. Saw the form6025% of those who came
  3. Submitted1830% of those who saw it

Most visitors never reach the form. Start at the top of the page: a headline that promises a result, and the form closer to the top.

They don't reach the form

The headline didn't hook them, or the form sits too low. Change the top of the page.

They reach it but don't sign up

The top of the page works — it's the offer itself that doesn't convince: what people get and at what price.

No verdict before 100 visits

With fewer, the percentages are chance. The report shows the numbers right away and the verdict once they can be trusted.
