[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Okay, so we're on your homepage. We're on the website. Number one, that people, you got three seconds. You used to have three seconds. Maybe you don't even have that anymore. And those three seconds may not even be a human. This may be a bot, right? So you got to connect to either a human or a bot saying, I practice this thing, but you don't start with that. It's I understand the I understand the problem you're seeking and you need to communicate that very clearly. I'm thinking six words or less.

Summary

The speaker emphasizes that website visitors (often bots) decide almost instantly whether to engage, so the homepage must communicate understanding of the visitor’s problem, not just list services. The message should be extremely concise—around six words or less—and focused on the user’s need.
