Value Proposition
Who you help, which problem you solve, and what result they get. It is the broader page-level promise sitting next to a USP.
Detailed explanation
A common pattern: for [audience], [outcome], because [differentiator]. The first screen of a landing page should land this in a few seconds.
Proof (numbers, examples, guarantees) stops it from being a slogan. Price alone is not a value proposition; people need “what I get”.
H1 tests often beat image tests because they change the promise.

- Price can be part of it. The core is who gets which outcome, and why with you.
- Where does it live?
- Landing first screen, ad copy, and email subjects. It should not be reinvented on every inner page.
