Short. Then a longer one that builds. Then short again.\n Use \"you\" more than \"we\" (3:1 ratio minimum)\n Break up walls of text (no paragraph > 3 lines on mobile)\n\nConversion Pass:\n\n CTA is above the fold AND repeated\n Every section ends with a reason to keep reading or a CTA\n Objections are addressed BEFORE the CTA\n Guarantee or risk reversal is prominent\n\nTrust Pass:\n\n No hype words without proof backing them up\n Testimonials have names, companies, and specific results\n Claims are believable (extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof)\n No AI-speak: cut \"leverage\", \"streamline\", \"seamlessly\", \"I'd be happy to\"\n6.2 Copy Scoring Rubric (0-100)\nDimension\tWeight\t0-2 (Weak)\t3-4 (Average)\t5 (Strong)\nHeadline\tx4\tGeneric, no hook\tHas a benefit, somewhat specific\tSpecific, emotional, curiosity gap\nClarity\tx3\tConfusing, jargon-heavy\tGenerally clear, some filler\tCrystal clear, concise, scannable\nPersuasion\tx3\tLists features only\tSome benefits mentioned\tFull desire arc with proof\nProof\tx3\tNo social proof\tGeneric testimonials\tNamed results, specific metrics\nCTA\tx3\tMissing or weak\tPresent but generic\tSpecific, low-risk, urgent\nVoice\tx2\tCorporate/robotic\tAcceptable\tSounds like a human who cares\nObjection Handling\tx2\tNone\tFAQ section exists\tWoven throughout the copy\n\nScore = Sum of (rating × weight).
