WHY IT WORKS
This product page succeeds through a powerful combination of value-first messaging and trust-building elements. The headline "Your credit score should be free. And now it is." immediately addresses a universal pain point while positioning Credit Karma as the solution, reinforced by security assurances and social proof that reduces friction for sensitive financial data sharing.
