Landing page launch workflow
Landing page hero rewrite playbook
Use this when the product exists but visitors need a clearer first screen that explains who it is for, what pain it removes, what changes after signup, and what action to take next.
Audience
SaaS founders rewriting above-the-fold copy before sending launch, SEO, Product Hunt, or ad traffic
Validation metric
Hero CTA clicks, waitlist signups from landing-page pages, hero-pack preview requests, and replies that mention clearer positioning or CTA intent.
Launch steps
- Run a five-second clarity audit before writing new copy.
- Rewrite the headline around one buyer, one painful before state, and one concrete after state.
- Add one proof mechanism or founder artifact near the hero so the promise feels believable.
- Choose a stage-matched primary CTA: preview, worksheet, calculator, demo, or waitlist.
- Route commercial-intent readers to the landing-page hero pack instead of a generic digest only.
- Use source/page attribution to decide whether hero rewrites deserve a paid pack or checkout test.
Pitfalls to avoid
- Do not hide the target user behind vague AI productivity language.
- Do not use generic button copy such as learn more when the click should measure a specific validation signal.
- Do not add extra sections before the first screen makes the user, pain, outcome, and CTA obvious.
