iwoca is hiring a German-speaking growth marketer to write landing page copy and run conversion tests, and a growth product manager to rework website content and the signup flow. The starting point has two easy fixes. First, 190 of 194 pages tell browsers and screen readers they are in English (lang="en"), and the desktop homepage's main button says "Apply now" while mobile says "Jetzt kostenlos anfragen". Second, the "how it works" block on 63 pages, homepage included, says the credit decision comes in 48 hours in one version and in 24 hours in the mobile version, and the partner page says "often within 24 hours". A business owner who checks on the phone and then on the laptop reads two different promises.
First action
Change the site language to German in Webflow and swap the "Apply now" button text.

Why it works
Set lang="de" in the Webflow site settings, replace "Apply now" with the German button text, and agree one wording for decision and payout times with compliance and operations, then put it into the shared steps component so every page says the same thing. Use the fix as the first A/B test baseline for the new performance marketer: measure application starts before and after on the top 10 landing pages.
Consistent, native-language claims are basic trust for a lender, and the change sits in shared Webflow components, so one edit fixes dozens of pages. The correct language tag also helps screen readers pronounce German correctly and avoids browsers treating the pages as English.

Risks and how to handle them
The shorter time is not true for every case
Use the wording operations can meet for most applicants, with "in der Regel" where needed.
Translation tools stop working for non-German speakers
They still work when users choose to translate; German is the audience.
