Landing page launch teardown
Landing page hero clarity angle
Use when a landing page gets traffic but the hero does not quickly explain user, pain, outcome, and proof.
Example angle
“Your visitor should not need the pricing page, FAQ, or founder context to understand the hero. The first screen should name who it is for, what pain disappears, what changes after signup, and why the promise is believable.”
Why this works
- The angle turns hero copy into a clarity test instead of a wordsmithing exercise.
- It names the exact above-the-fold elements that need to be visible before visitors scroll.
- It creates a natural path to a hero rewrite worksheet or paid pack because the visitor can self-diagnose the gap.
Reusable prompt
Rewrite {product}'s hero using a five-second clarity test. Produce variants that name the target user, painful before state, desired after state, proof mechanism, and primary CTA without vague productivity language.
