Optimize Above-the-Fold Content

Ploy audits your hero against a six-point framework, rewrites headline, subheader, and CTA for one persona and one action, then ships the change — desktop and mobile.

How it runs

Ploy runs this Ploybook in 5 phases.

  1. Lock the target

    Confirm the page, the single primary persona for the fold, and the one next action it should drive — sign up, book a demo, start a trial.

  2. Capture the baseline

    Ploy screenshots the fold at desktop and mobile and reads your positioning, ICP, and known objections from brand docs.

  3. Audit the framework

    Six pass/fail checks: specific benefit, hook, subheader that explains how, persona fit, one narrative CTA, and a hero image that earns its space.

  4. Rewrite the copy

    Headline, subheader, and CTA rewritten for the one persona and one action — tight, specific, in the buyer's language, not generic SaaS-speak.

  5. Ship + verify

    The new fold is composed, reviewed at both breakpoints, and committed clean — ready to publish or A/B test.

Expected outputs

Your hero names a category instead of a specific benefit. The fold speaks to everyone, so it converts no one. You want a focused above-the-fold fix shipped, not a full redesign.

  • A scored fold audit

    Your current hero graded against six blunt pass/fail checks with a one-line reason for each miss — the rewrite brief, not a vague "looks good".

  • A rewritten hero

    Headline, subheader, and CTA rewritten for one persona and one action, in the buyer's language — specific benefit over category, hook over filler.

  • Desktop + mobile reviewed

    The new fold checked at desktop and the unforgiving mobile viewport, so a hero that works on a laptop does not collapse on a phone.

  • A shipped change

    The optimized fold composed and committed clean, ready to publish — or an A/B test idea if the fold was already strong enough to leave alone.

Yes. A Ploybook is a reusable guide that adapts each run to the inputs you provide. You can run it on demand or customize a workspace copy for recurring work.
