Landing Page Copy

Generates conversion-optimized landing page copy organized into standard high-converting sections: hero, problem/solution, social proof, features/benefits, FAQ, and CTA. Uses frameworks like PAS, AIDA, and StoryBrand to structure messaging. Tailors copy to the target audience using ICP data from config. Outputs section-by-section copy ready for design implementation.

Prerequisites

• agency.config.json at repo root with agency, services, case_studies, icp, and outreach sections
• Page purpose and target audience
• Optional: specific service or offer the page promotes
• Optional: existing landing page URL (for competitive reference or rewrite)

Phase 0: Intake

1. Read agency.config.json from the project root.
2. Extract:
   • agency.name -- for brand references
   • agency.tagline -- for messaging alignment
   • agency.domain -- for CTA links
   • services[] -- to align copy with specific offerings
   • case_studies[] -- for social proof sections
   • icp.segments[] -- to tailor language, pain points, and aspirations to the target audience
   • outreach.tone -- voice and style for all copy
   • outreach.banned_phrases -- phrases to avoid
3. Accept parameters:
   • page_purpose -- (required) what the page sells or promotes: service, lead-magnet, consultation, webinar, product, case-study, pricing
   • offer -- (required) the specific offer: "Free CRO audit", "Shopify store development", etc.
   • target_audience -- which ICP segment. Default: primary segment from config
   • primary_cta -- the main conversion action: book-call, download, sign-up, get-quote, start-trial
   • framework -- copy framework: PAS, AIDA, StoryBrand, BAB. Default: PAS
   • sections -- (optional) array of section types to include. Default: all standard sections
   • competitor_url -- (optional) competitor page to reference for positioning
   • tone_override -- (optional) override: authoritative, friendly, urgent, aspirational
   • word_limit -- (optional) max total words across all sections. Default: 1500-2500

Phase 1: Audience and Messaging Foundation

Before writing any copy, build the messaging foundation:

Audience profile (from ICP config):

• Primary pain points (3-5 specific problems they face)
• Aspirations (what success looks like for them)
• Current alternatives (what they are doing now instead)
• Objections (top 3-5 reasons they would NOT buy)
• Language patterns (words and phrases this audience uses)
• Decision criteria (what matters most: price, speed, quality, trust)

Positioning statement:

For [target audience] who [pain point],
[agency/service] is the [category] that [key differentiator],
unlike [alternatives] which [limitation of alternatives].

Value proposition hierarchy:

1. Primary benefit (the #1 reason to convert)
2. Supporting benefits (3-4 additional reasons)
3. Proof points (data, testimonials, case studies that validate each benefit)

Framework application:

Framework	Section Flow
PAS	Problem -> Agitation -> Solution -> Proof -> CTA
AIDA	Attention -> Interest -> Desire -> Action
StoryBrand	Character -> Problem -> Guide -> Plan -> Action -> Success -> Failure
BAB	Before -> After -> Bridge -> Proof -> CTA

Compile:

MESSAGING FOUNDATION:
---
Audience: [segment name]
Primary pain: [the #1 problem]
Primary benefit: [the #1 reason to convert]
Positioning: [one-sentence positioning statement]
Framework: [selected framework]
CTA: [primary conversion action]

Phase 2: Hero Section

The hero section is the highest-impact area of the page. It must communicate what you do, who it is for, and why they should care -- in under 5 seconds.

Hero components:

Component	Length	Rules
Headline	6-12 words	Benefit-first or pain-first. No clever wordplay. Must be instantly clear.
Subheadline	15-25 words	Expand on the headline. Add specificity: who, what result, how.
Primary CTA	2-5 words	Action verb + benefit: "Book Your Free Audit", "Get Your Growth Plan"
Secondary CTA	2-5 words	Lower commitment: "See Our Work", "Watch Demo"
Trust indicators	N/A	Client logos, "trusted by X brands", star rating, or certification badges

Headline formulas (generate 3 variants):

1. Benefit headline: "[Desired outcome] for [audience]"
   • "Higher Conversions for D2C Shopify Brands"
2. Pain headline: "Stop [pain point]. Start [desired outcome]."
   • "Stop Losing Revenue to a Bad Product Page."
3. Proof headline: "[Result] for [client]. We Will Do the Same for You."
   • "34% More Conversions for Kibi Sports. You Are Next."

Generate all three. Recommend one based on framework alignment.

Phase 3: Problem/Solution Section

Establish the gap between where the reader is and where they want to be.

Problem block (150-200 words):

• Name 3-4 specific symptoms the audience recognizes ("Your product pages have high traffic but low add-to-cart rates")
• Use their language, not industry jargon
• Agitate: what happens if they do not fix it (revenue loss, competitor advantage, wasted ad spend)
• Do NOT mention your service yet

Solution block (100-150 words):

• Introduce your approach as the bridge
• Focus on the methodology or approach, not features
• Connect each pain point to a specific part of your solution
• Use "you" language, not "we" language

Transition to proof: end with a line that leads into social proof ("Don't take our word for it" or "Here is what happened when [client] made the switch")

Phase 4: Social Proof Section

Build trust through evidence. This section converts skeptics.

Components (include at least 3):

1. Case study spotlight (100-150 words):

   • Client name and context (from case_studies[] in config)
   • The problem they had (specific, relatable)
   • What you did (brief, 1-2 sentences)
   • The result (specific numbers: percentages, revenue, time saved)
   • Format: before/after or problem/solution/result

2. Testimonial quotes (2-3):

   • Direct quote format with attribution (name, title, company)
   • If no real testimonials available, note "[placeholder -- insert real testimonial]"
   • Each testimonial should address a different objection

3. Trust metrics:

   • Number of clients served
   • Years of experience
   • Industry-specific credentials
   • Platform partnerships (Shopify Partner, etc.)

4. Logo bar:

   • "[Insert client logos here]" placeholder
   • "Trusted by X+ brands" tagline

Phase 5: Features/Benefits Section

Translate service features into audience benefits. Never list features without connecting them to outcomes.

Structure: 4-6 benefit blocks, each containing:

Component	Length	Example
Benefit headline	4-8 words	"Product Pages That Actually Convert"
Benefit description	25-40 words	Explain how this benefit solves their specific problem
Proof point	10-20 words	Data point or mini case study that validates the claim

Rules:

• Lead with the benefit, not the feature ("Faster page load" not "CDN optimization")
• Each benefit block addresses a different pain point from the audience profile
• Use concrete specifics: "15-25% revenue uplift" not "better performance"
• Include at least one benefit that addresses the #1 objection
• Order by importance: strongest benefit first, weakest last

Anti-feature dump rule: if a section reads like a feature list, rewrite it as outcome-focused copy.

Phase 6: How It Works / Process Section

Reduce anxiety by making the engagement process clear and simple.

Structure: 3-5 steps

Step	Name	Description (15-25 words)
1	Discovery	What happens first (book a call, submit info, etc.)
2	Analysis	What you do with their input (audit, research, strategy)
3	Execution	How you deliver the work
4	Results	What they get and when
(5)	Ongoing	Optional: ongoing support or optimization

Rules:

• Max 5 steps -- more than that feels heavy
• Each step has a clear, jargon-free name
• Include timeline hints ("Within 48 hours", "Week 1-2")
• The first step must be low-commitment ("Book a free call" not "Sign the contract")

Phase 7: FAQ Section

Address objections disguised as questions. Every FAQ answer is a miniature sales argument.

Generate 6-8 FAQs using this framework:

Objection Type	Question Pattern
Price	"How much does this cost?" / "What is included?"
Time	"How long does it take?" / "When will I see results?"
Trust	"Have you worked with brands like mine?" / "What if it does not work?"
Process	"What do you need from me?" / "How involved do I need to be?"
Comparison	"How is this different from [alternative]?" / "Why not hire in-house?"
Technical	Service-specific technical questions

FAQ answer rules:

• Max 75 words per answer
• Start by validating the question (do not dismiss concerns)
• Answer directly, then support with proof or specifics
• End each answer by subtly reinforcing a benefit
• Include at least one FAQ that re-states the primary CTA

Phase 8: Final CTA Section

The closing CTA section must create urgency and remove remaining friction.

Components:

Component	Length	Rules
CTA headline	6-12 words	Restate the primary benefit as an invitation
CTA subtext	15-30 words	Address the #1 remaining objection. Add urgency if genuine.
CTA button	2-5 words	Same as hero CTA for consistency
Risk reversal	10-20 words	"Free consultation", "No commitment", "Cancel anytime"
Scarcity	10-15 words	Only if genuine: "Limited to 3 new clients per month"

CTA formulas:

• "Ready to [desired outcome]? [Action]."
• "[Desired outcome] starts with a conversation."
• "Your competitors are not waiting. [Action] today."

Phase 9: SEO Metadata

Generate page-level SEO elements:

Element	Length	Rules
Title tag	50-60 chars	Primary keyword + benefit + brand
Meta description	150-160 chars	CTA-oriented summary with primary keyword
H1	Same as hero headline	One per page, contains primary keyword
H2s	Section subheadings	Include secondary keywords where natural
URL slug	3-5 words	Lowercase, hyphenated, keyword-rich
Primary keyword	1-3 words	The main search term this page targets
Secondary keywords	3-5 phrases	Related terms to weave into body copy
