How to review landing page copy with AI
ChatGPT or Claude can review landing page copy usefully if you give it tests instead of asking whether the page is good. Six work well. The headline on its own: can a stranger say what it is, who it's for and why it beats what they do now? So what: does each benefit reach something the reader feels, like time, money or risk? The opposite test: would any competitor claim the opposite of "fast" or "easy"? If not, the word says nothing. Proof: does a number, customer or quote sit next to each claim? Buttons: does each one say what happens next, not "Learn more"? One job per section. Ask for up to ten edits, ranked, each quoting the current line and giving the replacement, and markers where proof is missing.
Short answer
- Six tests, not "is it good?".
- Headline alone must say what, for whom, why better.
- Proof next to each claim; buttons say what happens.
- Ranked edits you can paste.
The brief to copy
Landing page review brief
"Review this landing page copy with six tests.
1. Headline and subhead alone: can a stranger say what it is, who it's for, and why it beats what they do now?
2. Ask 'so what?' of every benefit until it reaches time, money, risk or status.
3. For every adjective, would a competitor claim the opposite? If not, replace it with a number, a comparison or an example, or cut it.
4. Does proof (a number, a customer, a quote) sit in the same section as each claim?
5. Does every button start with a verb and say what happens next?
6. Does each section have one job?
Return up to ten edits ranked must-fix, should-fix and polish, each quoting the line and giving the replacement. Never invent proof; write [add: …].
Copy and who it's for: [paste]"
A worked example
Illustration: a made-up business. A time-tracking app for design studios has a headline that reads "The future of time tracking" and a button that says "Learn more". The review, in part:
From the review
Must-fix (headline alone): "The future of time tracking" doesn't say who it's for or why it's better. Replace with: "Time tracking for design studios that fills in your timesheet from your calendar."
Must-fix (button): "Learn more". Replace with: "Start your free trial" if that's the offer, or "See how it works".
Must-fix (proof): "Studios bill more hours" has no proof in the section. Add: [add: customer number, such as hours recovered a month].
Should-fix (opposite test): "Fast and easy setup". Replace with: "Connect your calendar and see last week's hours in two minutes" [check: the setup time].
Polish (one job): the pricing section also explains features; move the features up.
The marketer checks the setup time in a fresh account before using the two-minute line, and asks two customers for a number and permission to quote it.
Before you change the page
- Fix the must-fixes first: headline, buttons, missing proof on the main claim.
- Fill every [add] and [check] from your own records.
- Keep claims you can prove; see rules for AI-written marketing claims.
- Change one thing at a time if you want to know what moved sign-ups.
- Save the brief for the next page.
Next step: save the brief

Questions
Can AI review landing page copy?
Yes, if you give it tests instead of asking whether the copy is good. Ask whether a stranger can say what it is, who it's for and why it's better from the headline alone; whether each benefit reaches something the reader feels; whether any adjective is one no competitor would deny; whether proof sits next to each claim; and whether every button says what happens next.
What makes a landing page headline work?
It carries the main point on its own, because most visitors scan: what it is, for whom, and why it beats what they do now. If a stranger can't say those three things from the headline and subhead, rewrite them before anything else.
Should AI write the proof on a landing page?
No. It should point to where proof is missing and leave a marker such as [add: customer number]. Numbers, customer names and quotes come from your records, with permission.
