Produces structured landing page copy blocks — hero, problem, solution, features, social proof, FAQ, CTA — ready to drop into any template or design.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

🎯 Landing Page Copy — Gathering product and audience details...

Then execute the protocol below.

Context	Status
User says "write landing page" or "landing page copy"	ACTIVE
User says "sales page" or "hero section" or "conversion copy"	ACTIVE
Creating copy for a product, service, or signup page	ACTIVE
Writing blog content (long-form, educational)	DORMANT — use blog-post
Writing email copy	DORMANT — use email-sequence
Designing the page layout (not writing copy)	DORMANT

Anti-patterns

Trap	Reality Check
"Describe all the features"	Features tell. Benefits sell. Lead with what the customer gets, not what the product does.
"Make the headline clever"	Clever headlines confuse. Clear headlines convert. Clarity beats creativity every time.
"Everyone is our audience"	Speaking to everyone means connecting with no one. Pick one persona and write to them.
"Long copy won't be read"	Long copy outperforms short copy when every sentence earns the next. Cut filler, not length.
"We don't need social proof yet"	No testimonials? Use stats, logos, case study snippets, or "built by" credibility. Something is always better than nothing.

Protocol

Step 1: Gather Product Details

If the user hasn't provided details, ask:

I need a few details for the landing page:

1. Product/service name — what are we selling?
2. Target audience — who is the ideal customer? (role, pain point, situation)
3. Key benefit — what's the #1 thing they get? (in their words, not yours)
4. Price point — free, freemium, one-time, subscription? (affects urgency strategy)
5. CTA goal — what's the primary action? (sign up, buy, book a call, download)
6. Existing copy or brand voice — any tone/style to match?

Step 2: Write Hero Section

The hero section determines whether visitors stay or leave. Every word earns its place.

## Hero Section

### Headline (10 words max)
[Clear statement of the primary benefit — what they get]

### Subheadline (20 words max)
[Specificity: who it's for, how it works, what makes it different]

### Primary CTA Button
[Action verb + outcome: "Start Free Trial" / "Get Your Report" / "Book a Demo"]

### Supporting text (optional, below CTA)
[Reduce friction: "No credit card required" / "Free for 14 days" / "Setup in 2 minutes"]

Headline formulas:

Formula	Example
[Outcome] Without [Pain]	"Ship Faster Without Breaking Production"
[Outcome] for [Audience]	"Beautiful Dashboards for Data Teams"
The [Category] That [Difference]	"The CRM That Writes Itself"
Stop [Pain]. Start [Benefit].	"Stop Guessing. Start Knowing."
[Number] [Outcome] in [Timeframe]	"10x Revenue in 90 Days"

Headline rules:

• No jargon the visitor wouldn't say out loud
• Specific beats vague ("Save 10 hours/week" beats "Save time")
• One benefit only — trying to say everything says nothing
• If you can add "so what?" and it still makes sense, the headline is too vague

CTA button rules:

• Action verb first ("Start," "Get," "Try," "Download" — never "Submit" or "Click Here")
• 2-5 words max
• State the outcome, not the action ("Get My Free Report" not "Download PDF")
• One primary CTA per section — don't split attention

Step 3: Problem / Agitation Section

Make the reader feel their problem before presenting the solution:

## Problem Section

### Section headline
[Name the pain directly: "Tired of [problem]?" / "You know the feeling..."]

### Pain points (3-4 bullet points)
- [Specific frustration they experience daily]
- [Consequence of not solving this problem]
- [The thing they've tried that didn't work]
- [The emotional cost: stress, wasted time, missed opportunities]

### Agitation paragraph
[1-2 sentences amplifying the stakes: what happens if they do nothing?
Paint the future they don't want.]

Problem section rules:

• Use the reader's own language (words from reviews, support tickets, forums)
• Be specific — "You spend 3 hours every Monday compiling reports" not "Reports take too long"
• Don't insult the reader or their current tools — empathize with their situation
• The problem section ends with the reader thinking "Yes, that's exactly my problem"

Step 4: Solution Section

Transition from pain to relief. This is where your product enters:

## Solution Section

### Transition line
[Bridge from problem to solution: "What if you could..." / "That's why we built..." / "Imagine instead..."]

### Product introduction (2-3 sentences)
[Product name] [does what] for [whom]. [How it solves the problem stated above].
[One sentence about the approach or key differentiator.]

### How it works (3 steps)
1. **[Action verb]** — [Simple first step the user takes]
2. **[Action verb]** — [What happens next / the product's magic moment]
3. **[Action verb]** — [The outcome they get]

### Visual suggestion
[Screenshot, demo GIF, or product illustration showing the solution in action]

Solution section rules:

• The "how it works" should be 3 steps max — complexity kills conversion
• Each step starts with an action verb
• Show, don't tell — include a visual of the product
• Connect back to the problem: the solution should directly address the pain points listed above

Step 5: Features with Benefit-Oriented Copy

List features, but lead with the benefit each feature provides:

## Features Section

### Section headline
["Everything you need to [outcome]" / "Built for [audience] who [goal]"]

| Benefit (what they get) | Feature (how it works) |
|------------------------|----------------------|
| Never miss a deadline | Automated reminders and milestone tracking |
| See your data clearly | Real-time dashboard with custom views |
| Work from anywhere | Cloud-based with mobile-responsive design |
| Stay secure | End-to-end encryption and SSO |
| Scale without pain | Auto-scaling infrastructure, no DevOps needed |
| Save 10 hours/week | AI-powered automation for repetitive tasks |

Alternative layout (for 3-6 features):

### [Benefit headline]
[1-2 sentences explaining the feature in terms of what the user gains.
Not what it does — what it means for them.]

### [Benefit headline]
[1-2 sentences...]

Feature copy rules:

• Lead column is the benefit (what they get), second column is the feature (how)
• Write benefits as outcomes: "Never miss a deadline" not "Has reminders"
• Include specific numbers when possible: "Save 10 hours/week" not "Save time"
• 4-6 features is the sweet spot — more than 8 overwhelms, fewer than 3 feels thin
• The most important feature goes first (or at the top-left if using a grid)

Step 6: Social Proof Section

Build trust with evidence that others have succeeded:

## Social Proof Section

### Testimonial template (if real testimonials aren't available yet)
> "[Specific result they achieved] since switching to [Product].
> [What they were doing before and what changed.]
> I'd recommend it to any [target audience descriptor]."
>
> — **[Name]**, [Title] at [Company]

### Stat-based proof (if available)
- **[Number]** [users/companies/projects] trust [Product]
- **[Percentage]%** [improvement metric] on average
- **[Timeframe]** average time to see results

### Trust badges
[Logos of notable customers, media mentions, or certifications]
"Trusted by teams at [Company 1], [Company 2], [Company 3]"

### Case study snippet (if available)
**[Company] increased [metric] by [X]% in [timeframe]**
[2-3 sentences about their situation, what they did, and the result]
[Link: "Read the full case study →"]

Social proof rules:

• Specific results beat generic praise ("Saved us 15 hours/week" beats "Great product!")
• Include name, title, and company for credibility (anonymous quotes are weak)
• If you don't have testimonials yet, use stats, founding story, or "built by" credibility
• 3 testimonials is the sweet spot — 1 feels cherry-picked, 5+ feels desperate
• Place social proof after features (they've seen what it does, now they need validation)

Step 7: FAQ Section

Address the top objections that prevent conversion:

## FAQ Section

### Section headline
"Questions? We've got answers." / "Common questions"

**Q: [Price objection — "How much does it cost?" / "Is there a free trial?"]**
A: [Direct answer. If there's a free tier, lead with it. Include pricing page link.]

**Q: [Trust objection — "Is my data secure?" / "Who else uses this?"]**
A: [Specific security measures. Customer logos or numbers. Certifications.]

**Q: [Effort objection — "How long does setup take?" / "Do I need technical skills?"]**
A: [Minimize perceived effort. "Setup takes 5 minutes" / "No coding required."]

**Q: [Switching objection — "Can I import my existing data?" / "What about my current tool?"]**
A: [Migration path. Import tools. Compatibility assurances.]

**Q: [Commitment objection — "What if it doesn't work for me?" / "Can I cancel anytime?"]**
A: [Money-back guarantee. No lock-in. Cancel anytime policy.]

FAQ rules:

• 4-6 questions max on the landing page
• Phrase questions the way a customer would (not formal, not marketing-speak)
• Every answer ends with confidence, not hedging
• The FAQ is really an objection-handling section — structure it that way
• If the same question keeps coming up in sales calls, it belongs here

Step 8: Final CTA Section

The bottom CTA converts readers who've scrolled the entire page:

## Final CTA Section

### Headline
[Restate the primary benefit with urgency: "Ready to [outcome]?"]

### Supporting copy (1-2 sentences)
[Summarize value + reduce risk: "Join [X] teams already [achieving outcome].
Start free — no credit card required."]

### CTA Button
[Same as hero CTA, or stronger: "Start Free Trial" → "Start Your Free Trial Now"]

### Urgency element (use only if genuine)
- Time-limited: "Launch pricing ends [date]"
- Scarcity: "[X] spots remaining this month"
- Social: "[X] teams signed up this week"

### Secondary CTA (optional)
"Not ready yet? [Book a demo / Watch a 2-minute walkthrough / Read our blog]"

Final CTA rules:

• Don't introduce new information here — reinforce the hero message
• Urgency must be real — fake countdown timers destroy trust
• Always include a secondary/softer CTA for people who aren't ready to commit
• This CTA should be the most visually prominent element below the fold

Step 9: Output Copy Blocks

Output all sections as clean, structured copy:

# Landing Page Copy: [Product Name]

**Target audience:** [persona]
**Primary CTA:** [action]
**Tone:** [casual / professional / bold / etc.]

---

[Hero Section]
[Problem Section]
[Solution Section]
[Features Section]
[Social Proof Section]
[FAQ Section]
[Final CTA Section]

---

Output summary:

🎯 Landing Page Copy — Complete

Product: [name]
Audience: [target persona]
Sections: 7 (Hero, Problem, Solution, Features, Social Proof, FAQ, CTA)
Primary CTA: [button text]
Urgency element: [type or "none"]

Word count: ~[count] words across all sections
Headline: [headline] ([word count] words)

Conversion checklist:
  ✅ Clear headline (under 10 words)
  ✅ Benefit-oriented feature copy
  ✅ Problem/agitation section
  ✅ Social proof (testimonials/stats)
  ✅ Objection handling (FAQ)
  ✅ Single primary CTA throughout
  ✅ Friction reducer (free trial/no CC/guarantee)

Next steps:
1. Review and customize with brand voice
2. Add real testimonials and customer logos
3. Drop copy blocks into your page template
4. A/B test headline variations
