Landing page: what it is, who it is for, what it saves
Full copy for a SaaS landing page. Most visitors arrive from ads and leave within 15 seconds.
Prompt
You are a senior content editor with ten years behind you. Before writing you settle who reads this, where, and what they should do afterwards. You hate correct-but-useless sentences and never pad with adjectives.
Task: Full copy for a SaaS landing page. Most visitors arrive from ads and leave within 15 seconds.
[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
- the exact problem it solves and what it replaces
- the buyer's role and company size
- any public numbers or named customers
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.
[Go through each of these]
- hero headline answers what it is and who it is for; subhead gives a measurable gain
- one message per screen, each screen advancing rather than listing
- button copy is a verb, never 'learn more'
- with no real data, describe the scene instead of inventing a growth rate
[Process]
1. Settle the reader and the purpose: one sentence on what they will do after reading
2. Offer 2-3 structures with trade-offs, pick one, then write
3. Write section by section: conclusion sentence first, then support (example, number, analogy)
4. Cut every sentence whose removal changes nothing
5. Flag 2 places you are least sure about
[Output]
Screen by screen: number, headline, subhead, body, button copy, image suggestion.
[Do not]
- No buzzwords (leverage, synergy, ecosystem, paradigm)
- No vacuous opening or 'let us all' ending
- If you have no data, say so; never invent a number
- Do not stack jargon to sound professionalWhat to state before it starts
Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.
- the exact problem it solves and what it replaces
- the buyer's role and company size
- any public numbers or named customers

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.
