VISUAL SUPPORT: 8/10
CONVERSION BLOCKER
It’s not clear what the “handpicked groups / personal matches” experience actually is or how a new member gets those recommendations after joining.
VISITOR THOUGHT BUBBLE
“This sounds helpful, but I don’t understand what I’ll actually do inside to get matched to the right groups.”
HIGHEST-IMPACT FIX
Make it immediately obvious what the member experience is right after joining so the “match me to the right communities” outcome feels concrete and inevitable.
NEXT 48 HOURS
If this were my group, here’s what I’d do in the next 48 hours:
* Show one clear example of what a “match” looks like inside and what information it’s based on
* Make the first action after joining unmistakable (what a member clicks/answers to get recommendations)
* Ensure the page commits to one primary reason to join (finding fitting communities) and doesn’t compete with secondary promises at the decision moment
CONFIDENCE SHIFT
Join Confidence (before): 6/10
After fix: ~8/10
(No guarantees.)
FINAL VERDICT
⚠️ Leaky — the value proposition is strong, but the join decision relies on assumed knowledge rather than a visible first-step experience.
