How to Write Homepage Copy That Converts
Your homepage has about 8 seconds to convince a visitor to stay. Most homepages fail this test — not because of bad design, but because of bad copy.
Start With the Problem, Not Your Product
The biggest homepage copy mistake: leading with what you built instead of what the user needs. Start with their pain point. "Struggling to convert your landing page traffic?" beats "Introducing RacoonMetrics 2.0" every time.
The 3-Part Hero Formula
Every high-converting homepage hero uses: (1) A headline that names the outcome the user wants, (2) A subheadline that explains how you deliver it, (3) A CTA that removes risk. Example: "Double Your Trial Signups" / "Racoonn shows you exactly why visitors leave your page" / "Test My Page Free — No Credit Card"

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should homepage copy be?
As long as it needs to be to answer every objection. B2B SaaS often needs more copy (social proof, ROI stats, use cases). Consumer apps can be shorter.
Should I use first person or second person in copy?
Second person (you/your) almost always outperforms first person (we/our). Write to the reader, not about yourself.
How do I know if my homepage copy is working?
Track scroll depth, time on page, and CTA click rate. If visitors aren't clicking, your copy isn't connecting.
