The H1 'Build Resumes That Land Interviews.' is decent but the page immediately undermines itself by burying the CTA under a navigation bar with 10+ links and then flooding visitors with 8+ H2s that scatter attention in every direction. The primary CTA buttons are 'Products' and 'What is Rune Career?' - one is vague and the other signals the visitor doesn't even know what they landed on, which is a conversion death sentence for cold paid traffic. The biggest gap is zero named testimonials or real user counts despite having star ratings, meaning the social proof is decorative noise rather than trust-building evidence.

Ranked by conversion impact
1
Critical

Replace the FAQ-style CTA buttons ('What is Rune Career?', 'Is Rune Career free?') with a single high-contrast primary CTA button above the fold that reads 'Build My Free Resume in 2 Minutes' - this removes ambiguity, communicates zero cost, and sets a time expectation that reduces friction. The current 'Start Building Free' button exists but is visually competing with 'View Templates' and the nav bar. Make 'Start Building Free' the only above-fold action, remove 'View Templates' from the hero, and increase button size by at least 40%.

2
Important

Add 3-5 named testimonials with job titles and companies (e.g. 'Got a Google offer in 3 weeks - Sarah K., Software Engineer') directly below the hero section. The page shows customer logos (Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc.) but these appear to be aspirational brand logos, not actual customers - which is misleading and erodes trust. Either remove these logos entirely or replace them with a stat like '47,000 resumes built' or '83% of users report more interview callbacks' with a source. Fake social proof is worse than no social proof.

3
Improvement

Collapse the navigation from 10+ links down to 3 maximum (Features, Pricing, Sign Up) and remove the dual-nav bar that appears to show two separate navigation menus. The page text shows 'RuneCareerHomeFeaturesPricingResume BuilderLaTeX EditorBlogProductsRuneAI' repeated twice, which means visitors are seeing a cluttered header that signals an unpolished product before they even read the headline.

Category breakdown

CTA & Next Step
4/10

The primary CTA 'Start Building Free' exists in the hero but is visually competing with 'View Templates' and a 10-link navigation bar. More damaging: the page lists FAQ-style buttons as CTAs - 'What is Rune Career?', 'Is Rune Career free?', 'Will my resume actually pass ATS systems?' - these are not CTAs, they are objection signals that tell the visitor the page failed to answer basic questions. The 'Products' button in the nav is especially confusing since the visitor is already on a product page.

Remove all FAQ-style buttons from the CTA flow. Make 'Start Building Free' the single primary CTA in the hero with a contrasting color (not the same palette as surrounding elements). Add a secondary micro-CTA below it: 'No account required to start' to reduce signup friction anxiety. Change button text from 'Start Building Free' to 'Build My Resume Free - No Signup Needed' to preemptively kill the biggest objection.
Social Proof
3/10

The page has star ratings but no named testimonials, no user count, and no case studies. The customer logos (Microsoft, Shopify, Nike, Netflix, Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, Apple) are almost certainly aspirational placeholders, not actual enterprise customers - displaying these without context like 'trusted by employees at' is a trust liability, not an asset. There are zero named testimonials despite the scrape confirming 'has testimonial section: no'. Star ratings without review text or reviewer names are meaningless to a skeptical cold visitor.

Add a minimum of 3 named testimonials with photos, job titles, and specific outcomes (e.g. 'Landed 4 interviews in my first week - Marcus T., Product Manager at Stripe') immediately below the hero CTA. If real testimonials don't exist yet, add a user count badge in the hero: 'Join 12,000+ job seekers building smarter resumes' - even a modest real number beats zero.
Trust & Credibility
4/10

There is no money-back guarantee, no security mention, no free trial callout (despite the product being free), no founder presence, and no company legitimacy signals beyond a logo. The pricing section exists but there is no transparency about what 'free' actually includes versus paid tiers - this creates anxiety for visitors who fear bait-and-switch. The 'RuneAI Assistant - Online now' widget is a nice touch but appears mid-page in a context about learning, not resume building, which is confusing.

Add a trust bar directly below the hero CTA with three elements: a lock icon with 'No credit card required', a checkmark with 'Free plan includes full resume builder', and a shield with 'Your data is never sold or shared'. This single row addresses the three biggest trust objections for a free tool and can be implemented in under an hour.
3-Second Clarity
6/10

The H1 'Build Resumes That Land Interviews.' is clear and outcome-focused - a cold visitor understands the product category in 3 seconds. The subheadline 'AI-powered resume builder with ATS optimization, live preview, professional templates, cover letter generator, and portfolio builder. Get hired faster, free.' is feature-list heavy but does communicate scope. The problem is the page then immediately fires 6 more H2s at the visitor ('Three Pillars. One Career Engine.', 'Supercharge Your Job Search with AI', 'Way beyond a resume builder...') creating cognitive overload that kills the clarity the H1 established.

Keep the H1 as-is. Rewrite the subheadline to lead with the outcome and free offer: 'The only free AI tool that writes your resume, beats ATS filters, and preps you for interviews - used by job seekers at Google, Netflix, and Amazon.' Then eliminate at least 4 of the 6 H2s or restructure them as section labels rather than competing headlines.
Mobile Experience
5/10

The dual navigation bar (two separate nav menus visible in the scraped text) will almost certainly collapse into a broken or cluttered mobile header. The scrolling logo ticker (Microsoft, Shopify, Nike repeated) is a common mobile performance drag. With 20 images and 6+ competing H2s, the above-fold mobile experience likely buries the CTA below the fold on most phones. The FAQ-style CTA buttons will render as a confusing list of tappable text on mobile, not clear action items.

Consolidate to a single hamburger-menu nav on mobile. Ensure 'Start Building Free' CTA button is visible without scrolling on a 375px wide screen (iPhone SE baseline). Remove or lazy-load the logo ticker on mobile to improve load speed and reduce visual noise above the fold.
Value Proposition
5/10

The page tries to sell three distinct products simultaneously - resume builder, ATS optimizer, and interview prep - which dilutes the value prop for cold traffic. 'Three Pillars. One Career Engine.' is clever copy but it asks visitors to do mental work to understand what they're getting. The copy 'Way beyond a resume builder...' is a missed opportunity - it teases differentiation but the follow-up copy ('No need to think much. We guide you through every step') is generic and could describe any resume tool. The actual differentiator - paste a job link and get a pre-built tailored resume in 2 minutes - is buried halfway down the page.

Front-load the 'paste any job link and we pre-build your resume to match' feature into the hero subheadline. This is the most concrete, differentiated, and time-saving claim on the page. Rewrite the hero subheadline to: 'Paste any job description. Our AI builds a tailored, ATS-optimized resume in under 2 minutes. Free.'
