How to write landing page copy that speaks to two personas at once
Don't dumb down your copy. Use layered messaging that appeals to both technical buyers and business decision-makers.
B2B SaaS often has two buyers: the user (engineer, marketer) and the buyer (VP, CTO). Writing copy that appeals to both without alienating either is tricky. The solution is layered messaging.
In your headline, appeal to the business outcome (e.g., "Reduce deployment time by 50%"). In your feature descriptions, include both a benefit and a technical detail. For example: "Automated CI/CD pipeline: deploy 5x faster with zero manual steps." The first part speaks to the VP, the second to the engineer.
Our templates include two sets of feature descriptions in the style guide: one for technical audiences and one for business audiences. Mix and match based on your traffic. And always include a "How it works" section that's simple enough for a non-technical person to understand, but links to docs for the engineers.
