PMM Files #111 - Just Add Zero, Seriously Big Proof, and Customer Evidence in Your H1


Read Time: 3.7 minutes

Thanks for reading PMM Files. A newsletter where we share five cool product marketing examples we found last week.

Let's get to it...

Supported By: UserEvidence

Tired of the endless hunt for customer proof points?

UserEvidence created a three-part guide breaking down how to build a scalable customer evidence program. From finding gaps, to sourcing an endless supply of customer proof points, to making it work across your GTM motion.

Best part? It's all free and ungated.

​→ Get the first lesson now​

​

Example #1 - Seriously Big Proof 🀯

When you're selling to the biggest companies on the planet β€” proving that you're built for scale means a lot.

Ahrefs doesn’t just say they handle big data. They have the receipts to prove it 🧾

Their "Our data" page (yes a full page) tells a clear story of scale and control while pairing it with seriously big and specific proof: 1M CPU cores, 742PB of SSD, and $900M saved by building in-house, just to highlight a few.
​
These aren’t vague claims. They’re hard numbers that land. And for champions that need to convince their boss that a vendor can handle their size β€” this is a killer piece of buyer enablement content that makes life super easy.

​→ Get ready to see some seriously impressive numbers​

​

Example #2 - Just Add a Zero

Maybe’s pricing page doesn’t leave you guessing. It’s simple, clear, and cleverly framed.
​
The best part? The annual plan is exactly 10x the monthly. One added zero, and the two-month discount is obvious at a glance.
​
Bonus points: the monthly plan is pre-selected, showing Maybe understands customers value flexibility while still making the upgrade feel like an easy win.

​→ Check out their pricing page (say yes, not maybe)​

​

Example #3 - Flipping the Script On An Old Category

Lemonade’s hero takes a tired category (insurance) and flips it on its head.

It says what makes them different, without relying on tired clichΓ©s like β€œwe’re transforming the industry."

The description copy then hits you with three differentiating features. Instant everything, incredible prices, big heart. Not things you’d expect from a typical insurance company.

Right away you:

  • know what the product is
  • why it's different
  • want to learn more

​

Example #4 - Explain It Like I’m a 7th Grader

Unlearn does a great job explaining a complex product β€” AI-powered digital twins for clinical trials β€” in plain language.

Even for someone in the industry, this can be a complicated concept to grasp. But their homepage breaks it down clearly, with helpful visuals and no jargon. You don’t need a PhD to get what they do.
​
If your product is hard to explain, take a page from Unlearn: Talk like you’re explaining it to a 7th grader.

​→ See how Unlearn makes the complex, simple​

​

Example #5 - Using Customer Evidence in Your H1

Here's a great example of using customer evidence in your H1.

YipitData uses a rotating hero that describes specific use cases for their product.

But instead of just saying "Yipit Data tracks shopper basket composition over time"

They say "YipitData tracks Walmart shopper basket composition over time."

A small difference β€” just one word. But a major impact in terms of proof, credibility, and trust.

​→ See how they did it, and try it on your next project​

Stop Scrambling for Testimonials, Case Studies, and Proof Points

My hands tremble as I write this, remembering all those stressful days hunting for customer proof points β€” that crucial testimonial for a launch, that pending logo approval, or that case study the sales team keeps asking about.

The old-school approach to customer evidence just isn’t cutting it.

But here’s the good news πŸ‘‡

Alex Eaton, Director of Product Marketing at UserEvidence, dedicated four weeks of his life to breaking down the process of building a customer evidence program that truly scales.

It includes:

And the best part β€” it’s all ungated.
