Write a Landing Page Hero That Converts
Generate three styles of landing page heroes — clarity, curiosity, and contrarian — with matching sub-headlines.
This prompt writes the most important real estate on a landing page — the hero — and does it across three deliberately different headline strategies (clarity-first, curiosity, contrarian) so you can test which framing your audience responds to. It pins each headline to a matching sub-headline and CTA, enforces tight length limits, and explicitly bans the buzzwords that make hero copy invisible. Use it when you're launching or revamping a page and want sharp, distinct options rather than six rewordings of the same line.
Write the hero section of a landing page. Product: [WHAT IT DOES IN ONE SENTENCE]. Audience: [WHO]. Their biggest pain: [PAIN]. Generate: (1) 3 headline options (clarity-first, curiosity, contrarian), (2) one matching sub-headline for each, (3) 3-word CTA button variants. Headlines under 10 words. Sub-headlines under 20 words. No buzzwords ("revolutionary," "next-gen," "AI-powered").What you can expect back
CLARITY-FIRST Headline: Let clients book themselves, no phone tag. Sub: Self-scheduling and automatic reminders that cut no-shows and free up your week. CTA: Start booking free CURIOSITY Headline: The reason your calendar stays half-empty. Sub: It's not your marketing — it's the friction between interest and a booked appointment. CTA: See how it works CONTRARIAN Headline: Stop answering the phone to fill your schedule. Sub: The best-booked practices let software handle scheduling so they can focus on clients. CTA: Ditch phone tag Note: Clarity-first usually converts best for unfamiliar audiences; test curiosity if you're driving warm traffic that already knows the category.
Illustrative example — your results will vary by tool and inputs.
Get sharper results
- 01Write the [PAIN] in your customers' actual words, pulled from reviews or support tickets — copy that echoes their phrasing converts far better than a marketer's paraphrase.
- 02Pick the clarity-first headline as your default control; only ship curiosity or contrarian versions to traffic that already understands your category.
- 03Ask the model to justify each headline in one line so you understand the angle and can brief a designer on emphasis and hierarchy.
- 04Tell it to keep the value, not the mechanism, in the headline — buyers care that no-shows drop, not how the scheduling engine works.
- 05Request 5 CTA options instead of 3 so you have button copy to A/B test independently of the headline.
Adapt it for your case
Ask it to also add a one-line trust element (social proof or guarantee) and a secondary CTA to round out the full hero.
Tell it the audience is procurement or IT buyers and ask for headlines that emphasize ROI, security, and reliability over playfulness.
Paste a competitor's hero and ask for headlines that stake out the positioning they're missing.
Common questions
Which headline style should I actually launch with?
Lead with clarity-first for cold traffic and unfamiliar products — people convert on understanding before cleverness. Save curiosity and contrarian for warm or category-aware audiences.
Why ban words like 'AI-powered' and 'next-gen'?
They're filler that says nothing about the benefit. Banning them forces the copy to state a concrete value the reader can immediately grasp.
Can I test all three headlines at once?
Test two at a time against each other so results stay readable. Pin your clarity-first version as the control and challenge it with one alternative.
