# Should I niche down or broaden my positioning?

**Verdict: Yes** – Yes – niche down. Broader positioning attracts more visitors and converts none of them.

> Niche down. The homepage should name one specific cohort and one specific outcome in the hero section. 'A marketing tool' converts at near zero; 'A marketing diagnostic for B2B SaaS founders under $10K MRR' converts. Broader positioning attracts more visitors and converts none of them. You can always expand the niche later; starting too broad is the harder mistake to fix.

## Why

- The Wrong Person diagnosis catches positioning that's too broad. Most landing-page rewrites that lift conversion 2-5x are niching down, not rewriting copy.
- Niche positioning compounds: the founder's content, ads, and outreach all become specific. Generic positioning fragments effort across surfaces.
- Test niche specificity on your homepage hero for 30 days. If qualified-visitor conversion stays the same but unqualified visits drop, that's the right direction.
