Worth Noting…
The headline will be automatically scraped from the page you’re linking to so make sure your meta title* looks good.
*Your meta title (aka title tag) is the text used by search engines; they are then part of your webpage’s display seen in search results. See an example from someone you know below.
The Good….
Post content (“One Straightforward…) is short and easy-to-read.
Notice the graphic is simple and in a solid color. It almost looks native in-feed.
The Bad…
Instead of showcasing the value, their logo is front and center.
The Good…
Top copy and headline at bottom are informative and concise.
The Bad…
The main graphic is slightly too busy – baseball, ad blocks, breaking news, etc. While having the logo is fine, the placement is off. By being too prominent, it takes away from the headline.
The Good…
The image is good. However, a single headline could have been added to take away some of the whitepace (wall/ceiling area). Ex) “Your New Office.”
The Bad…
“Claim a free day coworking trial with Common Desk!” should lead that top content.
