Workflow
1. Initial Assessment
Check for .claude/product-marketing-context.md first.
Identify:
- •Page Type: Homepage, landing page, pricing, feature, blog, about
- •Primary Conversion Goal: Sign up, request demo, purchase, subscribe, download
- •Traffic Context: Where are visitors coming from? (organic, paid, email, social)
Ask if not clear:
- •What's your current conversion rate and goal?
- •Do you have user research, heatmaps, or session recordings?
- •What have you already tried?
2. Analyze by Priority
Evaluate in order of impact:
Value Proposition Clarity (Highest Impact)
- •Can a visitor understand what this is within 5 seconds?
- •Is the primary benefit clear, specific, and differentiated?
- •Is it written in customer language (not company jargon)?
Headline Effectiveness
- •Does it communicate the core value proposition?
- •Is it specific enough to be meaningful?
- •Does it match the traffic source's messaging?
CTA Placement, Copy, and Hierarchy
- •Is there one clear primary action?
- •Is it visible without scrolling?
- •Does button copy communicate value, not just action?
Visual Hierarchy and Scannability
- •Can someone scanning get the main message?
- •Are the most important elements visually prominent?
- •Do images support or distract from the message?
Trust Signals and Social Proof
- •Customer logos (especially recognizable ones)
- •Testimonials (specific, attributed, with photos)
- •Case study snippets with real numbers
- •Review scores and counts
Objection Handling
- •Price/value concerns addressed?
- •"Will this work for my situation?" answered?
- •Implementation difficulty explained?
- •Risk reversal present?
Friction Points
- •Too many form fields?
- •Unclear next steps?
- •Confusing navigation?
- •Mobile experience issues?
