Step 2: Optimize the Hero
The hero is 80% of your conversion. Get it right.
Update the hero section:
Headline: [Benefit-focused, 6-10 words]
Subheadline: [Explain how, 15-20 words]
CTA: [Action verb + benefit]
- Button text: "Join the Waitlist" / "Get Early Access" / "Start Free"
- Make the button large and high-contrast
Add urgency if relevant:
- "500 spots left" or "Launching January 2025"
Visual: Add a product mockup or illustration on the right
Hero formula:
- Headline = What you get (outcome)
- Subheadline = How you get it (mechanism)
- CTA = What to do next (action)
Step 3: Add Problem/Solution
Create a problem section with 3 pain points:
Headline: "Sound familiar?"
Pain 1: [Specific frustration your audience has]
Pain 2: [Another common problem]
Pain 3: [The worst consequence of not solving it]
Then add solution section:
Headline: "[Product] fixes this"
Brief explanation of your approach (2-3 sentences)
Step 4: Showcase Benefits
Add a benefits section with 4 items:
Headline: "Why [Product]?"
Each benefit:
- Icon
- Short title (3-4 words)
- One sentence description
- Focus on outcomes, not features
Layout: 2x2 grid on desktop, stacked on mobile
Step 5: Add Social Proof
Choose one or combine:
Testimonials:
Add 3 testimonials:
- Quote (1-2 sentences, specific result)
- Name and title
- Company or context
- Avatar placeholder
Layout: Horizontal row on desktop
Logo bar:
Add a "Trusted by" section with 5-6 company logos.
Grayscale logos, subtle styling.

CTA button (for paid products):
Add final CTA section:

- Button: "Start Your Free Trial"
- Trust elements below: "No credit card required"
Step 7: Optimize for Mobile
Check and optimize mobile layout:
- Hero text is readable (not too small)
- CTA button is full-width on mobile
- Images resize properly
- Form fields are touch-friendly
- No horizontal scrolling
Step 8: Add SEO Meta
Set SEO for the landing page:
- Title: "[Benefit] | [Product Name]"

- OG Image: Create a preview image with headline
Example:
Title: "Never Miss a Launch Step | LaunchKit"

Join 2,000+ founders shipping with confidence. Get early access."
Step 9: Publish and Test
