/landing-page — Landing Page Creator & Reviewer
Create high-converting landing pages from scratch or review existing ones against proven best practices.
When to Use
- User wants to write landing page copy for a product, feature, or campaign
- User wants to review or improve an existing landing page
- User says "landing page", "write a landing page", "landing page copy", "review my landing page"
Process
Step 1: Determine Mode
If `` contains a URL, enter Review Mode.
If the user explicitly asks to review/improve a page, enter Review Mode.
Otherwise, enter Create Mode.
Create Mode
Step 2: Gather Context
Ask the user the following. Skip any they've already answered in conversation:
- What's the product/service? — One sentence.
- Who is the target audience? — Be specific (role, pain, situation).
- What's the single goal of this page? — Sign up, book a demo, buy, download, etc.
- What's the visitor's awareness level? — Are they cold (don't know you), warm (know the problem), or hot (comparing solutions)?
- Do you have existing positioning or messaging? — Brand voice, taglines, value props already defined.
- Any must-include elements? — Specific testimonials, stats, integrations, compliance badges, etc.
Step 3: Define Strategy
Before writing a single word, establish:
- Value proposition — One clear sentence: what you do, for whom, and why it matters
- Primary CTA — The single action you want visitors to take
- Message match — What promise brought them here (ad copy, email, search query)?
- Key objections — The 3-4 reasons someone would NOT convert. The page must address each.
- Proof points — Testimonials, metrics, logos, case studies available to use
Present this strategy summary to the user for approval before writing copy.
Step 4: Write the Landing Page
Follow the proven high-converting structure. See references/page-anatomy.md for the full breakdown.
Write each section in order:
1. Hero Section
- Headline — Benefit-driven, specific, under 10 words. This carries everything — 8/10 people read only this.
- Subheadline — Expands on "how" the benefit is delivered. 1-2 sentences.
- CTA — Action-oriented button text (not "Submit" — use "Start free trial", "Get the guide", etc.)
- Visual direction — Describe what image, screenshot, or demo should appear here.
2. Social Proof Bar
- Logos, user counts, or one standout metric ("Trusted by 10,000+ teams")
3. Pain Section
- Acknowledge 2-3 specific frustrations the visitor feels. Use their language.
- Use the PAS or PRESTO framework. See references/copywriting-frameworks.md.
4. Benefits (Not Features)
- 3-4 blocks, each with a short heading and 1-2 sentences
- Format: outcome the customer gets, not what the product does
- "Ship 2x faster" not "CI/CD pipeline integration"
5. How It Works
- 3 simple steps. Reduce perceived complexity.
- Each step: number + short heading + one sentence
6. Social Proof / Case Study
- Specific testimonials with real names, roles, and results
- "Cut onboarding time from 3 weeks to 2 days" > "Great product!"
7. Feature Deep-Dive (Optional)
- Only if the audience is solution-aware and comparing options
- Keep it scannable: icon + heading + one line per feature
8. Trust & Risk Reversal
- Guarantees, security badges, certifications, compliance logos
- Free trial or money-back guarantee language
9. FAQ
- Address the top 3-5 objections identified in Step 3
- Direct, honest answers. No fluff.
10. Final CTA
- Restate the value prop from a different angle
- Repeat the same CTA button
Step 5: Apply Copy Principles
Review the draft against these rules:
- Every sentence is about the customer, not the company
- Headline passes the 5-second test (visitor understands the offer instantly)
- CTA appears at least 3 times on the page
- Specific numbers and results used wherever possible
- No jargon the target audience wouldn't use
- Copy uses the customer's own language (from reviews, support tickets, interviews)
- Every section earns the next scroll
Step 6: Deliver
Present the complete landing page copy in a structured format with clear section headings. Include:
- Copy for every section
- Visual/image direction notes in italics
- CTA button text called out explicitly
- Any notes on mobile-specific considerations
Review Mode
Step 2: Capture the Page
If given a URL, use WebFetch to retrieve the page content. If given a file or pasted content, read it directly.
Step 3: Analyze Against Framework
Score the page on each dimension. See references/page-anatomy.md for the full criteria.
Strategy
- Is there a single, clear value proposition?
- Is there one primary CTA (not competing goals)?
- Does the page match the likely visitor awareness level?
Structure
- Does it follow the proven section order? (Hero → Proof → Pain → Benefits → How it works → Deeper proof → Trust → FAQ → Final CTA)
- Is there a CTA above the fold?
- Is navigation removed or minimized?
Copy
- Does the headline pass the 5-second test?
- Is copy benefit-focused (not feature-focused)?
- Is it specific (numbers, results) rather than vague?
- Does it use customer language?
- Are objections addressed?
Social Proof
- Are testimonials specific with real names and results?
- Is proof placed early (not buried at the bottom)?
- Are trust badges, guarantees, or risk reversal present?
Design Signals (from the markup/structure)
- Is there clear visual hierarchy?
- Is the CTA high-contrast and repeated?
- Are form fields minimal?
- Is the page mobile-friendly?
Step 4: Deliver the Review
Present findings as:
- Overall Assessment — One paragraph summary. Is this page likely to convert well? What's the biggest issue?
- What's Working — 2-3 things the page does well. Be specific.
- Critical Issues — Problems that are likely hurting conversions right now. Prioritize by impact.
- Quick Wins — Changes that would improve the page with minimal effort.
- Rewrite Suggestions — For the headline, CTA, and any weak sections, provide specific alternative copy.
