Have you ever stared at your website copy wondering, “Why isn’t this converting?” You’re not alone.

Writing website content that’s both clear and persuasive can feel like walking a tightrope balancing clarity, emotion, and SEO all at once. But AI can make that easier if you know what to ask for.

Below are 7 tested prompts designed to help you write website copy that not only sounds good but sells.

1. Instantly A/B Test Your Core Message

Why it matters: Your homepage headline is your first impression — your 3-second chance to hook attention. This prompt helps you quickly generate and test multiple high-converting headline ideas so you can identify what resonates fastest.

The Perfect Prompt™

Act as a world-class Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Copywriter with 15 years of experience writing for successful [INDUSTRY TYPE, e.g., SaaS, E-commerce, B2B Services] companies. I need five variations of a high-converting headline for my website’s hero section.

Our product is [PRODUCT/SERVICE NAME]. Our primary target is [TARGET AUDIENCE, e.g., small business owners struggling with payroll]. The main pain point we solve is [MAIN PAIN POINT], and our unique solution is [UNIQUE SOLUTION/MECHANISM].

Generate five distinct, compelling headline options (each under 12 words) that clearly communicate our value proposition. For each option, explain which emotional trigger it uses (e.g., curiosity, fear of missing out, aspiration). Ask me any questions you have.

Pro tip: Run these through your analytics tool to A/B test which emotional angle (fear, curiosity, or aspiration) converts best.

2. Generate Traffic-Driving H1 Tags That Convert

Why it matters: Search engines love structure. Your H1 tag is both an SEO and conversion opportunity — it tells Google what your page is about and convinces your visitor to stay.

The Perfect Prompt™: Act as a seasoned SEO Content Strategist and Copywriter who specializes in on-page optimization for [PAGE TYPE, e.g., service pages, long-form blog posts, product descriptions]. I’m optimizing a new page targeting the keyword [PRIMARY KEYWORD].

Pro tip: Each H1 should feel natural — not forced. Always test them for both readability and search relevance.

3. Automate the Feature-to-Benefit Conversion

Why it matters: Features tell, but benefits sell. This prompt helps you instantly transform technical descriptions into emotional, benefit-driven language.

The Perfect Prompt™: Act as a Direct Response Copywriter whose focus is translating product specifications into irresistible customer benefits. Here’s a list of features for my product: [LIST PRODUCT FEATURES, e.g., ‘24/7 support,’ ‘integrated CRM,’ ‘one-click export’].

My target audience’s knowledge level about this category is [TARGET AUDIENCE KNOWLEDGE LEVEL, e.g., beginner, expert]. Rewrite each feature as a benefit-driven bullet point followed by one sentence explaining the ultimate customer outcome. Use language appropriate to their knowledge level. Ask me any questions you have.

Pro tip: This is perfect for software, online courses, and service pages — anywhere your reader needs to see the value behind the feature.

Include a subtle urgency/scarcity element like [URGENCY ELEMENT, e.g., ‘limited spots left,’ ‘price goes up soon’]. The next step after clicking is [NEXT STEP, e.g., checkout page, booking form].

Generate 10 short (3–5 word) CTA button options. Ensure three options use urgency and two focus on immediate positive outcomes. Ask me any questions you have.

Pro tip: Never use “Submit.” Try “Get Started,” “Claim My Spot,” or “See My Plan.” It’s the same click — but a whole new level of motivation.

5. Write Compelling Testimonial Headline Copy

Why it matters: Testimonials build trust — but most are too long. This prompt extracts the most persuasive soundbite from your customer quotes and turns them into powerful micro-headlines.
