· how-to
This tutorial gets you from fuzzy kill-fee rider wording to a shippable draft in about 25 minutes. You will audit, rewrite, score, and schedule a follow-up review — without waiting on a full brand committee.
Minutes 0–5: Capture the current line and buyer phrases
- Paste the live wording into a doc.
- Add five phrases from calls, comments, or job posts.
- Circle the primary niche keyword you want to own.
Minutes 5–12: Draft three keyword-led variants
One audience-led, one outcome-led, one proof-led. Keep each under a mobile-friendly length. No hype stacks.
