The 3 leaks costing them the most
1 The triplet headline is strong; the page buries it
Why it hurts: 'Your tools. Your rules. Any AI.' is genuinely memorable (#17), but it's surrounded by MCP/SDK/CLI/Functions jargon that drowns a newcomer. The best line you have is fighting your own nav.
Fix: Give the triplet room to breathe and add one plain line under it explaining what Zapier actually does.
2 Pricing and CTA both go missing
Why it hurts: Pricing isn't in the captured nav and the primary action competes with a dozen product links (#16, #22). Three million businesses trust it, but the page doesn't funnel.
Fix: Add 'Pricing' to the nav and make one 'Start automating free' the single hero CTA.
3 Twenty-nine colors for an orange brand
Why it hurts: The extractor flagged 29 distinct colors (#2). Zapier's orange is iconic β every competing accent dilutes the one that should mean 'go'.
Fix: Reserve the orange for the primary CTA and mute the rest.
