Homepage Hero
Every Good Homepage Hero Hits These Points
I have analyzed dozens, maybe hundreds of SAAS landing pages at this point.
A few really hard-and-fast rules have emerged, but there are usually exceptions.
A lot of folks will tell you that as you get bigger, you don't need to be as specific and capability-focused.
I would say that is generally true.
Ramp is a great example. I wouldn't call them a household name, but they are well on their way.
For a startup, your capabilities should be in the headline. For a big enterprise, you might not need them at all.
Ramp is in the middle, and their homepage hero is well-suited to this stage of their development.
The body copy is a very clear, if broad, capability statement.
The headline? A bold and ambitious outcome statement, that manages to wrap up two really big claims into 5 words.
Secondary shoutout: the G2 Logo for mini social proof right above the CTA.
I think that is a really great way to keep it minimalistic and build that added level of trust.
Brevo
Linkedin Ad
I've Said This Before And I'll Say It Again: Repetition Helps Your Messaging
Brevo's add here could be boiled down into 2 statements:
Brevo will boost your sales and save you money.
You can get Brevo for 50% off this holiday season.
But how many times do they hit these points?
The discount?
Found in 3 places.
The caption, the linkedin under-caption, and right in the image.
The outcome? Found twice.
The image eschews the outcome for a concise review of their capabilities, with icons and labels to make it clear what Brevo does.
Make
Linkedin Ad
A Great Example of an Actionable Ad
Make had the bones of a great ad with this image, and the first paragraph of caption copy.
They hit on the two ultimate elements of message: Capabilities and Outcomes.
The image hits on FOMO and the pain point so many paid media managers fee.
But those three green checkboxes?
They are more than a call to action.
They are instructions.
This puts your reader into an action mindset.
Right in front of them they have 3 easy steps, which demonstrate just how quickly they could get Make's lead ad integration running.
If you know your process is easier than people realize, try expanding your CTA into a mini tutorial.
