Your problem
Agencies aren’t equipped to write startup homepages​
Most agencies have talented founders.
But they’re incentivized to build scalable processes and hire cheap freelancers.
You need to understand your customer motivations.
But agencies skip customer interviews and position your product with onboarding calls and generic AI market data.
Your product must stand out in a crowded market.
But most designers copy messaging and positioning tactics from category leaders that don’t work for startups.
Your homepage has to deliver a compelling sales journey.
But you’re offered a junior copywriter with no sales experience — or AI trained on industry average messaging.

Hire a conversion architect
Hey, I’m Alex.
I’m a former enterprise sales executive.
I’m obsessed with technology and growth.
I started my career in international sales and closed hundreds of software and advertising deals across five continents.
I used to sleep on the sales floor so I could pitch across Asia at night.
I switched to conversion copywriting and helped 100+ startups to win more customers.
GorillaFlow combines every skill I’ve developed over 15+ years in sales, product marketing and conversion copywriting.
Now I’m a Conversion Architect.
I help founders position their products, communicate their value and convert more visitors into customers.
I’d love to learn about your startup and positioning challenges.

How it works
Here’s our homepage process based on 200+ client projects​
Our competition sell packaged ‘sprints’, scalable templates and cheap freelance copywriters.
We do things that don’t scale.
Research: Customer insights
We find out why customers (really) value your product
Most founders are too close to their product and make assumptions about their buyer motivations.
We interview your customers and train an LLM to model their relationship with your product.
You get a spreadsheet packed with customer insights and quotes mapped against your product abilities.
*Don’t worry, your data won’t be shared for training
Google Sheet deliverable
We interview your customers
We explain how you solve their pain
‘Customers rely on a disconnected stack of rigid ERPs, fragile spreadsheets and static BI tools.’
‘This causes weeks of manual work and stress for finance. Numbers are outdated when they reach leadership, so strategic decisions are unreliable.’
‘Farseer merges all three and slashes manual work by 80%. Finance leaders can make confident decisions.’
Podcast analytics
Strategy: Positioning deck
We create the messaging foundation for your GTM strategy
Your website visitors have countless tabs open for competing products.
We analyze your customers and competition to understand how you add new value to the market.
You get a deck with 8-10 slides that explain why visitors should close those tabs and buy your product.
Google Slides deliverable

Explore our process, ask questions and get free tips to improve your homepage.
Any questions?
Do you only write homepages?
No. We start with your homepage because it’s the highest-leverage page on your website.
Once we’ve established your positioning and messaging, we can write sales pages, develop signup flows, improve onboarding journeys, create email sequences and optimize other conversion assets.
We don’t write blog or social media content.
However, your social media team will find our positioning slide deck is a useful asset to align their messaging.
Why not use AI?
If you could write an excellent startup homepage with GPT or Claude we’d make many millions of dollars every month.
But we take on 2-3 clients because it’s simply not possible.
AI produces averages.
Averages are great if you need to answer an objective question, like ‘How do I change my car tyres’ or ‘What are the top frustrations of a typical CFO?’
But ‘Average’ is the worst possible outcome when you’re trying to differentiate a startup.
We train an LLM to copilot each project and uncover insights, with 50-100+ custom sources that are unique to your business, brand and product.
But even then, you need a professional copywriter to critique and edit any output.
How do GorillaFlow use AI?
We use AI extensively to analyze 50-100+ sources including customer interviews, industry reports and thousands of customer reviews.
This level of analysis simply isn’t possible with humans.
But we don’t ask AI to position your startup or write your copy.
That’s the fastest way to sound like everyone else.
Why customer interviews so important?
Most founders are too close to their product.
Customer interviews reveal motivations, frustrations, buying triggers and language that rarely appear in internal discussions.
We ask structured questions that aren’t included in typical marketing surveys, to map each stage of their purchase journey and understand why customers value (and choose) your product.
This research is a crucial foundation for your positioning, messaging and homepage.
Don’t trust anyone who says you can skip customer interviews.
Can you work with our existing designer?
Yes, we regularly collaborate with skilled designers and design teams.
We deliver the conversion architecture as detailed Figma wireframes, explain our thinking and collaborate throughout the project to ensure your messaging and design are aligned.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes, we partner with a small number of highly-skilled design agencies.
But we work on a consultancy basis and require direct access to your client.
We create the conversion architecture and wireframes for each page.
If you still think copy is an ‘ingredient’ that’s sprinkled in after the design stage then we won’t make good creative partners.
Why hire GorillaFlow versus a design agency?
Most agencies are skilled at creating aesthetic experiences.
But sales and conversion are about shifting gears.
We have to meet visitors at their specific mental state and belief system, then guide them through each stage of a journey that builds understanding, trust and excitement.
This requires deep customer research, an understanding of sales psychology and a clear map of each stakeholder’s purchase motivations.
Most design teams simply don’t have exposure to this kind of training.
That’s why we’re the perfect partner for design teams.
We create the conversion architecture that enables designers to create experiences that deliver business results.
Why hire GorillaFlow versus positioning experts?
Many positioning experts produce excellent strategy.
But their business model depends on scale.
They’ll sell you a slide deck, hand the homepage execution to a freelance copywriter and move on to the next client.
The result is a homepage with generic headlines that fail to communicate your competitive advantages.
In the words of a recent client, ‘Great sales model, but it’s a sausage factory’.
GorillaFlow exists to close that gap.
We combine positioning, conversion copywriting and sales psychology to ensure that your homepage and headlines differentiate your product.
That’s why we can only take on 2-3 clients each month.
