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 |
| 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. |
If the user hasn't provided details, ask:
I need a few details for the landing page:
- Product/service name — what are we selling?
- Target audience — who is the ideal customer? (role, pain point, situation)
- Key benefit — what's the #1 thing they get? (in their words, not yours)
- Price point — free, freemium, one-time, subscription? (affects urgency strategy)
- CTA goal — what's the primary action? (sign up, buy, book a call, download)
- Existing copy or brand voice — any tone/style to match?
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" |

### 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:
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 |

[Link: "Read the full case study →"]
Social proof rules:
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:
The bottom CTA converts readers who've scrolled the entire page:
## Final CTA Section
### Headline

### Supporting copy (1-2 sentences)
[Summarize value + reduce risk: "Join [X] teams already [achieving outcome].
