No social proof above the fold
55.2%
of the 3,044 free scans considered in the last 30 days raised this finding. That is 1,680 scans across 1,669 distinct sites. 95% interval 52.8% to 57.6%.
What it means
The opening screen carries no review, customer or case-study language. First-time visitors discount claims made only by the business itself.
How to fix it
Put named testimonials, client logos or a review count near the primary call to action, where a visitor decides whether to keep reading.
How to check it yourself
Load the page and look at what is visible without scrolling. If no testimonial, client name or review count appears there, none is above the fold.
What fixed looks like
The opening screen shows a named testimonial, client logo or review count near the main call to action.
How we measured this
Go Voltic scans a site and records which findings it raises. The share above is over every free four-page scan in the last 30 days that loaded at least one page, which is 3,044 scans. Deep scans of paid reports and of the research sweep read a site at a different depth and are a separate population, never in this denominator. It is not a survey and it is not an estimate: it is a count of what our own scanner found. Sites are counted once each in the distinct-sites figure, so a site scanned twice does not weigh double there.
The interval is a 95% Wilson interval. A share printed without its sample size reads as certainty and is indistinguishable from a guess, so both are always shown. Figures on this page were computed on 2026-09-08.
The same share sits beside every other finding on the benchmarks page, which also carries the whole table as CSV and JSON and says how to cite it.

The free scan reads four pages and reports every finding it raises, including this one. It takes about ten seconds and asks for nothing but the address.
