Above the Fold
Zapier's above the fold section has three pieces that we'll dive into individually.

Header
What does the product do?
Zapierâs core feature is connecting userâs apps together.
What does it do for users?
Zapier benefits users by automating your workflows.
Demand Curve insight:
Their header's underlying implication is that youâll save a lot of time if you use Zapier.

Subheader
Objection handling
People generally avoid learning a new skill if itâs too time consuming or complicated. So, Zapier opens by saying itâs easy and for busy people.

How does it work?
Zapier makes the headerâs claim more concrete by explaining how their product works.

Whatâs the benefit?
Users donât have to spend time moving their data themselves. Now, users can focus on their most important tasks.

Call-to-action
Demand Curve insight:⨠â¨
Whatâs good about it?
Signup is frictionless. Zapier lets users to sign up with one of three very common accounts.â¨
âGet started freeâ handles any objection one might have to paying before trying it out.
What could be improved?
Zapier could reduce friction from signup by removing the first and last name prompts. A service like Clearbit can gather than information. â¨â¨
Takeaway: less asks = less friction = more desire.

Social Proof
Objection handling
âTrusted at companies large and smallâ addresses Zapierâs ability to handle any company size.â¨â¨
If they come out and say it, thereâs no reason not to believe it.
Establishing credibility
Use social proof above the fold to establish credibility in the userâs mind. Humans like to know that other humans vouch for a product.

Features Section
Zapier makes clever use of visuals to convert site visitors. Letâs break down their tactics.

Integrate, Automate, Innovate
Visitors reading the Above the Fold section might think, âOh, Zapier allows me to connect Typeform to Airtable. Thatâs cool.â But Zapier is underâdelivering on their true benefit.
What Zapier didnât show you until now is how you can trigger sequences of actions through a multitude of apps. Not just one-to-one.â¨
Zapierâs sequence of visuals helps visitors understand the value of their product faster.

Features Section: Copy
âWith a few clicksâ
People typically object to using software thatâs hard to use. So, Zapierâs copy frames their product as easy to use.

âWorkflows called Zapsâ
Zapier coins their own term. Why? Nonâtechnical people likely donât know what a webhook is. To a visitor with no webhook knowledge, a âZapâ is a new thing.
â¨â¨Users will associate the concept of a webhook with Zapier, and instead of âman I need to set up a new webhookâ, it becomes âman I need to setup a new Zap.â This builds Zapierâs affinity.

âFaster and get more doneâ
Zapier tells visitors what the benefits of their product are blunty. Itâs more effective than asking them to assume it.
âNo code requiredâ
Objection: âHmm, this seems great but Iâm not technical. I donât know how to code. I canât set something up like this.
ââ¨â¨Zapier: âWell, you donât have to. No code requiredâ

More Features
Familiarity
Zapier uses popular apps in its feature visualâso that most visitors can relate.

Write like you speak
Zapier phrases each step of the sequence as if a non-technical user was saying it out loud.

Sprinkling in the benefits
âFrom any appâ implies flexibility and ease of use.
âWhile you solve more important problemsâ associates Zapier with empowering users to work on the most important problems.
âSimple, fill-in-the-blank setupâ counters any objection that Zapier might be hard to use.
âGo from idea to workflow in minutesâ uses a frame of reference users are familiar with (the time it takes to go from idea to workflow). Now, it only takes minutes.

Objection Handling
Visitors now might think: âThis seems incredible. But, I donât use Slack, Dropbox, or Airtable.. and I donât want to switch all my apps just to use this âZapâ thingâ
Zapier shows off their search function to handle that concern and makes things more engaging. They delight visitors by giving them a sneak peek of whatâs inside.

Some visitors may still think Zapier is too technical. We havenât actually seen inside the product yet. Zapier shows off the inside of the product to handle this concern. You can tell they tailored the inside of their product for non-technical users by looking at the language they use.â¨â¨
Only the marketing was telling a visitor it was easy to use up until now. Now, the product confirmed it.â¨â¨
Visitors with this skepticism might start to think âThatâs not too bad.. I would like to... See the Demo.â

Pricing Section
Targeting different personas
Both plans open with a pitch.â¨
If a user only needs to connect a few apps together (solopreneur, freelancer etc.) the free plan is for them. If a user need advanced workflows (bigger startups, enterprise, etc.) then premium is for them.

Using bargains to motivate
Notice that their CTA isnât a simple âGet startedâ. They use a bargain (14âday free trial) to motivate visitors to try it out.

Objection handling
Some users avoid a free trial because they donât want to enter their credit card information.
â¨â¨Zapier addresses the objection with âNo credit card is required.â

Final CTA
Motivating visitors to sign up
Zapier uses social proof that 3 million people are already using Zapier. This bypasses the objection, âIs this legitimate?â
The copy also associates Zapier with a userâs tedious tasks being complete, for them.
Getting visitors emotional
Zapierâs testimonials are used to show real people benefiting.
They also include a catchy header, âZapier makes you happierâ, which puts the icing on the cake.
Providing a sense of urgency
âWave goodbye to your busy workâ builds momentum by being actionable.
â¨â¨âDonât waste another minuteâ ... âCreate an account nowâ ... âStart saving more timeâ provide a sense of urgency to sign up now.
