Landing page copy people actually read
Most landing pages say "unlock your potential" and nothing else. A few habits that make copy feel human.
I've read a lot of landing pages this year. Maybe too many. And there's a pattern: the more a page tries to sound impressive, the less I understand what's being sold.
Say the thing
Your headline should tell a stranger what you do. "Accounting for freelancers in Dhaka" beats "Empowering your financial journey" every time.
Use your customers' words
Read your reviews, your support emails, your WhatsApp messages. Customers describe their problems in plain language. Borrow it.
Kill the buzzwords
Seamless. Elevate. Unlock. Leverage. Cutting-edge. If you notice one, delete it and say what you actually mean. The sentence usually gets shorter and better.
Vary your sentences
Short ones hit. Longer ones explain the detail and give the reader a bit of rhythm before the next point. Mix them.
One call to action
Not three. One. Maybe repeated at the bottom.
The [landing page prompt](/prompts/landing-page-copy) starts by listing customer worries before writing a single headline. That step makes most of the difference, in my experience.
