Speed kills — in a good way

A CRO agency takes 2-4 weeks to deliver an audit. During that time, you're burning ad spend on a page that's leaking conversions. At $5K/mo in spend with a 2% conversion rate gap, that's $100/day in lost revenue while you wait.

Arclen delivers your diagnosis in under 5 minutes. You can implement fixes the same day and start recovering lost conversions immediately.

The 80/20 of conversion audits

Agencies deliver comprehensive 40-page audits. But research shows 80% of conversion lift comes from fixing the #1 issue — usually the headline, the offer, or the CTA.

Arclen identifies that primary leak, gives you the exact fix, and gets you moving. You don't need 40 pages of recommendations. You need the one thing that matters most, done right.

$37 vs $3,000+ — do the math

For the price of one agency audit, you can run 80+ Arclen diagnoses. That means you can scan your page before and after every change, test variants, audit competitor pages, and diagnose your entire funnel.

Most teams get more actionable value from 10 Arclen scans ($197) than a single agency engagement.

When you should use an agency instead

Agencies are worth it when you need ongoing CRO management, complex multivariate testing programs, or full-service implementation. If you're spending $50K+/mo on ads and have a dedicated team, an agency relationship makes sense.

But for most teams — startups, SMBs, and growing companies — Arclen gives you the diagnosis and fixes you need at a fraction of the cost. The AI Page Builder can rebuild your page with an implementation kit starting at $197.
