- Gains: [What do they want?]

**Value Map:**

- Gain Creators: [How you create gains]

## Value Proposition Statement:
"For [target audience] who [need/want],
[Product] is a [category] that [key benefit].
Unlike [competitors], we [differentiator]."

Value Prop Component:

// components/marketing/ValueProp.tsx
export function ValuePropSection() {
  return (
    <section className="py-20">
      <div className="container mx-auto px-4">
        <div className="grid lg:grid-cols-3 gap-8">
          <ValuePropCard
            icon={<Zap className="h-8 w-8" />}
            title="Lightning Fast"
            description="Build pages 10x faster with AI-powered templates and smart suggestions."
            stat="10x"
            statLabel="faster than manual"
          />
          <ValuePropCard
            icon={<TrendingUp className="h-8 w-8" />}
            title="Higher Conversions"
            description="Data-driven layouts optimized for maximum conversions."
            stat="40%"
            statLabel="avg. conversion increase"
          />

          />
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
  )
}

function ValuePropCard({ icon, title, description, stat, statLabel }) {
  return (
    <Card className="text-center p-8">
      <div className="inline-flex p-3 rounded-xl bg-primary/10 text-primary mb-4">
        {icon}
      </div>

        <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{statLabel}</p>
      </div>
    </Card>
  )
}

3. Meta Descriptions

SEO Meta Description Formula:

• Length: 150-160 characters
• Include primary keyword
• Include call-to-action
• Unique for each page

Meta Description Templates:

const metaTemplates = {
  // Homepage
  homepage: "[Product] helps [audience] [achieve goal]. [Benefit 1], [Benefit 2]. Start free today.",
  // Example: "Acme helps marketers build landing pages 10x faster. No code required. Start free today."

  // Product page
  product: "[Product] - [Primary benefit]. [Feature 1] + [Feature 2]. [CTA] →",
  // Example: "Page Builder Pro - Create stunning landing pages. Drag-and-drop editor + AI copy. Try free →"

  // Blog post
  blog: "Learn [topic] in this guide. Discover [benefit 1] and [benefit 2]. [Word count] read.",
  // Example: "Learn to optimize conversions in this guide. Discover proven CTA formulas. 5 min read."

  // Pricing
  pricing: "[Product] pricing starts at $[X]/mo. [Key feature]. [Value prop]. Compare plans.",
  // Example: "Acme pricing starts at $29/mo. Unlimited pages. No hidden fees. Compare plans."
}

Generate Meta Component:

// lib/seo/generateMeta.ts
export function generateMetaDescription(
  type: 'homepage' | 'product' | 'blog' | 'pricing',
  data: Record<string, string>
): string {
  const templates = {
    homepage: `${data.product} helps ${data.audience} ${data.goal}. ${data.benefit1}, ${data.benefit2}. ${data.cta}.`,
    product: `${data.product} - ${data.benefit}. ${data.feature1} + ${data.feature2}. ${data.cta} →`,
    blog: `Learn ${data.topic} in this guide. Discover ${data.benefit1} and ${data.benefit2}. ${data.readTime} read.`,
    pricing: `${data.product} pricing starts at ${data.price}. ${data.feature}. ${data.valueProp}. Compare plans.`,
  }

  const description = templates[type]
  return description.length > 160 ? description.slice(0, 157) + '...' : description
}

4. Microcopy

Button Copy:

// Instead of generic → Use action-specific
const buttonCopy = {
  // ❌ Generic
  bad: ['Submit', 'Click Here', 'Learn More', 'Buy'],

  // ✅ Action-specific
  good: [
    'Start Free Trial',
    'Get My Free Guide',
    'Join 50,000+ Users',
    'Claim Your Discount',
    'Create My Account',
    'Download Now',
    'See How It Works',
  ]
}

Form Labels & Helpers:

// components/forms/OptimizedForm.tsx
export function OptimizedFormField({ label, helper, error, ...props }) {
  return (
    <div className="space-y-2">
      <Label htmlFor={props.id}>
        {label}
        {props.required && <span className="text-destructive">*</span>}
      </Label>
      <Input {...props} />
      {helper && !error && (
        <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{helper}</p>
      )}
      {error && (
        <p className="text-sm text-destructive">{error}</p>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}

// Usage with optimized copy
<OptimizedFormField
  id="email"
  label="Work Email"
  helper="We'll send your login details here"
  placeholder="you@company.com"
  type="email"
  required
/>

Error Messages:

const errorMessages = {
  // ❌ Technical
  technical: {
    required: "This field is required",
    email: "Invalid email format",
    password: "Password must be 8+ characters",
  },

  // ✅ Friendly & Helpful
  friendly: {
    required: "Please fill in this field to continue",
    email: "Hmm, that doesn't look like an email. Try: name@example.com",
    password: "Add a few more characters for security (8+ total)",
  }
}

5. Social Proof Copy

Testimonial Optimization:

// Before: Vague
const weakTestimonial = "Great product, would recommend!"

// After: Specific with results
const strongTestimonial = {
  quote: "We increased our conversion rate by 47% in just 3 weeks. The AI suggestions were spot-on.",
  author: "Sarah Chen",
  title: "Head of Marketing",
  company: "TechCorp",
  metric: "47% increase",
  image: "/testimonials/sarah.jpg"
}

Stats & Numbers:

// components/marketing/SocialProof.tsx
export function SocialProofBanner() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap justify-center gap-8 py-8 border-y">
      <Stat number="50,000+" label="Active Users" />
      <Stat number="1M+" label="Pages Created" />
      <Stat number="40%" label="Avg. Conversion Increase" />
      <Stat number="4.9/5" label="User Rating" />
    </div>
  )
}

function Stat({ number, label }) {
  return (
    <div className="text-center">
      <div className="text-3xl font-bold">{number}</div>
      <div className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{label}</div>
    </div>
  )
}

6. Email & Notification Copy

Email Subject Lines:

const emailSubjects = {
  welcome: "Welcome to [Product] – Let's get you set up 🚀",
  abandoned: "Forgot something? Your [item] is waiting",
  trial_ending: "Your trial ends in 3 days – Don't lose access",
  feature: "New: [Feature] is now available in your account",
  milestone: "Congrats! You just hit [milestone] 🎉",
}

Toast Notifications:

const toastMessages = {
  success: {
    save: "Changes saved successfully",
    create: "Created! You can find it in your dashboard",
    delete: "Removed. Need it back? Undo",
  },
  error: {
    generic: "Something went wrong. Please try again",
    network: "Connection lost. Reconnecting...",
    permission: "You don't have permission. Contact your admin",
  }
}
