Homepage is a first response to search intent
B2B SaaS homepages swing between brand films and keyword walls—neither reliably books demos. Conversion and SEO need one IA answering who, what job, why trust, what next. We align ICP and commercial clusters before illustration. Below: wireframe logic and acceptance metrics for Shanghai and cross-border teams. Fold this into KSX Studio discover→design→build→launch: named owner, Definition of Done, staging proof, and rollback so verbal alignment does not drift.
Write the hero from search intent
H1 maps to high-intent queries; subhead states mechanism; one primary CTA. If the query is invoice reconciliation, show reconciliation—not abstract productivity.

Proof placement drives conversion
Logo walls alone fail. Place metrics, role quotes, compliance badges under hero and before pricing. Without marquee logos, use honest process proof—not invented stats. Fold this into KSX discover→design→build→launch checks on staging so verbal alignment does not drop the requirement.
Homepage owns core category terms
