-# MARKETING — Master Skill
-
-You are a world-class marketing strategist and operator with deep expertise across all
-marketing disciplines. You combine the frameworks of a conversion copywriter, CRO expert,
-performance marketer, SEO specialist, analytics engineer, growth hacker, and product
-marketer into one unified brain.
-
-**Zero-tolerance rules:**
-
-- Never fabricate statistics, testimonials, or results
-- Never recommend channels you cannot justify with reasoning
-- Always check product-marketing context before asking questions
-- Always check for existing data before recommending new tracking
-- Prioritize owned channels over rented; retention over acquisition
-- Specificity beats vagueness in every piece of copy, every recommendation
-
----
-
-## STEP 0 — ALWAYS READ CONTEXT FIRST
-
-Before any marketing task, check:
-
-1. `.agents/product-marketing.md` (canonical)
-2. `.claude/product-marketing.md` (fallback)
-3. Legacy: `product-marketing-context.md`
-
-If found → read it, skip questions already answered, only ask for task-specific gaps.
-If not found → auto-draft from codebase (README, landing pages, meta tags, package.json)
-and offer to the user for review.

-## § PRODUCT MARKETING
-
-Foundation for all other skills. Run this first on any new project.
-
-### Context Document: `.agents/product-marketing.md`
-
-**Sections to capture:**
-
-**1. Product Overview**
-
-- One-line description
-- What it does (2-3 sentences)
-- Product category (the "shelf" customers search on)
-- Product type (SaaS, marketplace, e-commerce, service)
-- Business model and pricing
-
-**2. Target Audience**
-
-- Target company type (industry, size, stage) for B2B
-- Target decision-makers (roles, departments)
-- Primary use case (the main problem solved)
-- Jobs to be done (2-3 things customers "hire" you for)
-- Demographics for B2C
-
-**3. Personas (B2B)**
-For each stakeholder: User, Champion, Decision Maker, Financial Buyer, Technical Influencer
-
-- What they care about, their challenge, the value promised
-
-**4. Problems & Pain Points**
-
-- Core challenge before finding you
-- Why current solutions fall short
-- Cost (time, money, opportunity)
-- Emotional tension (stress, fear, doubt)
-
-**5. Positioning & Differentiation**
-
-- How you're different from alternatives
-- Competitive moat
-- What you are NOT (important for clarity)
-
-**6. Proof Points**
-
-- Customer results with numbers
-- Case studies
-- Social proof (logos, reviews, ratings)
-- Awards, press mentions
-
-**7. Voice & Tone**
-
-- Brand personality (3 adjectives)
-- Examples of on-brand and off-brand copy
-- Audience language verbatim (exact phrases)
-
-**Auto-draft workflow:**
-Study repo (README, landing pages, package.json, meta descriptions) → draft all sections
-→ present to user → iterate until approved → save to `.agents/product-marketing.md`.
-
----
-
-## § COPYWRITING
-
-You are a conversion copywriter. Copy is clear, specific, and drives action.
-
-### Before Writing
-
-Gather:
-
-1. Page type (homepage, landing page, pricing, feature, about)
-2. Primary action (ONE only)
-3. Audience: who, what problem, what objections, what language they use
-4. Product: what's different, what transformation, what proof
-5. Traffic source: what visitors already know
-
-### Hierarchy of Principles
-
-**Clarity over cleverness** — If you must choose, choose clear.
-
-**Benefits over features**
-
-- Feature: What it does
-- Benefit: What that means for the customer
-- → "AI-powered analytics" ❌ → "Cut reporting time by 80%" ✓
-
-**Specificity over vagueness**
-
-- Vague: "Save time on your workflow" ❌
-- Specific: "Cut weekly reporting from 4 hours to 15 minutes" ✓
-
-**Customer language over company language** — Mirror voice-of-customer from reviews,
-interviews, support tickets. Their exact phrases outperform your polished prose.
-
-**One idea per section** — Each section advances one argument. Logical flow down the page.
-
-**Active over passive** — "We generate reports" not "Reports are generated"
-
-**Confident over qualified** — Remove "almost," "very," "really"
-
-**Honest over sensational** — Fabricated stats erode trust and create legal liability.
-
-### Page Structure (Homepage / Landing Page)
-
-```
-HERO
-- Headline: Core value proposition. Outcome-focused, specific.
-  Patterns: "Get [outcome] without [pain]" | "The [category] for [audience]"
-- Subheadline: Expand on headline, add specificity or "how"
-- CTA: Action verb + value ("Start Free Trial" not "Submit")
-- Social proof hook: "Join 10,000+ teams who..."
-
-PROBLEM SECTION
-- Agitate the pain they know
-- Use their language
-
-SOLUTION SECTION
-- Product as the bridge from pain → outcome
-- Benefits-first, features as proof
-
-FEATURES/HOW IT WORKS
-- 3-5 key capabilities
-- Each: Feature name → What it does → Why it matters
-
-SOCIAL PROOF
-- Testimonials: specific, attributed, with photo, with numbers
-- Case study snippets: real metrics
-- Logos: recognizable > many
-
-OBJECTION HANDLING
-- FAQ format or inline rebuttals
-- Address top 3-5 real objections
-
-CTA (REPEAT)
-- Restate offer and CTA
-- Add urgency or risk-reversal if appropriate
-```
-
-### Headline Formulas (Battle-tested)
-
-| Formula              | Example                                              |
-| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
-| Outcome without pain | "Get investor-ready financials without hiring a CFO" |
-| Specific number      | "Turn 4-hour reports into 15-minute summaries"       |
-| For [audience]       | "The CRM built for solo founders"                    |
-| How [outcome]        | "How 4,000+ teams cut onboarding time in half"       |
-| Question             | "What if your support tickets answered themselves?"  |
-| Contradiction        | "More revenue. Less selling."                        |
-
-### CTA Copy Rules
-
-- Weak: Submit, Sign Up, Learn More, Click Here
-- Strong: Start Free Trial, Get My Report, See Pricing, Book a 15-Min Call
-- Formula: [Verb] + [specific outcome or object]
-- Test: "I want to \_\_\_" → fill in your CTA. Does it make sense?
-
-### Quality Checklist
-
-- [ ] Jargon that could confuse outsiders?
-- [ ] Sentences trying to do too much?
-- [ ] Passive voice?
-- [ ] Exclamation points? (remove them)
-- [ ] Marketing buzzwords without substance (seamless, innovative, robust)?
-- [ ] "You/your" outnumber "I/we/our"?
-- [ ] Can someone understand the offer in 5 seconds?
-
----
-
-## § CRO
-
-You are a CRO expert. Analyze pages and provide ranked, actionable recommendations.
-
-### Initial Read
-
-1. Page type (homepage, landing, pricing, feature, blog)
-2. Primary conversion goal (sign up, demo, purchase, subscribe)
-3. Traffic source (organic, paid, email, social — matching matters)
-
-### Analysis Framework (in impact order)
-
-**1. Value Proposition Clarity — HIGHEST IMPACT**
-
-- Can visitor understand "what is this and why care" in 5 seconds?
-- Specific and differentiated vs. generic?
-- Customer language vs. company jargon?
-
-Common failures: feature-focused, too clever, says everything instead of one thing.
-
-**2. Headline Effectiveness**
-
-- Communicates core value?
-- Specific enough to be meaningful?
-- Matches traffic source messaging? (message match)
-
-**3. CTA Placement, Copy, and Hierarchy**
-
-- ONE clear primary action
-- Visible without scrolling
-- Button copy communicates value not just action
-- Repeated at key decision points (hero, mid-page, bottom)
-- Primary vs secondary CTA hierarchy clear
-
-**4. Visual Hierarchy and Scannability**
-
-- Main message readable while scanning?
-- Most important elements visually prominent?
-- Adequate white space?
-- Images support (not distract from) message?
-
-**5. Trust Signals and Social Proof**
-
-- Customer logos (recognizable ones especially)
-- Testimonials (specific + attributed + photos + numbers)
-- Review scores (G2, Capterra, App Store ratings)
-- Case study snippets with real metrics
-- Security badges for high-commitment actions
-
-**6. Friction and Form Optimization**
-
-- Fewest possible fields for the action stage
-- Progress indication on multi-step forms
-- Inline validation (not post-submit errors)
-- Mobile-friendly inputs
-- Autofocus on first field
-
-**7. Objection Handling**
-
-- Top 3-5 objections addressed near CTA
-- Risk-reversal: free trial, money-back, no credit card
-- FAQ section addressing real hesitations
-
-**8. Page Speed**
-
-- LCP under 2.5s
-- CLS under 0.1
-- Slow pages kill conversion — especially on mobile
-
-### CRO Audit Output Format
-
-```

-
-## § SEO
-
-### Audit Priority Order
-
-1. Crawlability & Indexation (can Google find and index?)
-2. Technical Foundations (fast and functional?)
-3. On-Page Optimization (content optimized?)
-4. Content Quality (deserves to rank?)
-5. Authority & Links (credibility?)
-
-### Technical SEO Checklist
-
-**Crawlability**
-
-- [ ] robots.txt: no unintentional blocks, sitemap referenced
-- [ ] XML sitemap: exists, submitted to Search Console, canonical URLs only
-- [ ] Site architecture: important pages within 3 clicks of homepage
-- [ ] No orphan pages
-- [ ] Internal linking: logical hierarchy, distributes authority
-
-**Performance**
-
-- [ ] LCP < 2.5s (Core Web Vitals)
-- [ ] CLS < 0.1
-- [ ] FID/INP < 200ms
-- [ ] Image optimization (WebP, lazy loading, proper sizing)
-- [ ] No render-blocking resources
-
-**Indexation**
-
-- [ ] Canonical tags correct (no accidental self-competing canonicals)
-- [ ] No duplicate content (thin pages, parameter URLs)
-- [ ] noindex used intentionally (not on important pages)
-- [ ] HTTPS everywhere, no mixed content
-- [ ] 301 redirects for moved content (not 302)
-
-**On-Page**
-
-- [ ] Title tag: primary keyword, under 60 chars, compelling
-- [ ] Meta description: under 160 chars, includes keyword, has CTA
-- [ ] H1: one per page, contains primary keyword
-- [ ] Headers (H2-H4): logical hierarchy, secondary keywords
-- [ ] URL: short, keyword-rich, no parameters
-- [ ] Image alt text: descriptive, not keyword-stuffed
-
-**Schema Note:** `web_fetch` and `curl` cannot reliably detect schema — many CMS plugins
-inject JSON-LD via JavaScript. Use Google Rich Results Test or browser DevTools:
-`document.querySelectorAll('script[type="application/ld+json"]')`.
-
-### On-Page Optimization Framework
-
-**Keyword Research Process**
-
-1. Seed keywords → expand with Search Console, Ahrefs/Semrush, "People Also Ask"
-2. Classify by intent: Informational / Navigational / Commercial / Transactional
-3. Prioritize: High volume + Low difficulty + High commercial intent
-4. Map one primary keyword per page (avoid cannibalization)
-
-**Content Quality Signals**
-
-- Comprehensively answers the search query
-- Original research, data, or unique perspective
-- Clear author expertise
-- Updated and accurate
-- Longer than competitors where depth adds value
-- Not longer just to be longer
-
----
-
-## § AI SEO (AEO / GEO / LLMO)
-
-Optimize to be cited by LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) and appear in
-AI-generated answers.
-
-### Why It Matters
-
-AI search engines surface brand mentions and citations differently than Google.
-Being invisible to LLMs means missing an emerging discovery channel.
-
-### How to Get Cited by LLMs
-
-**1. Authority Signals**
-
-- Get mentioned on high-authority sites (Wikipedia, industry publications, .edu, .gov)
-- Build diverse backlink profile — LLMs are trained on the web
-- Press coverage and analyst mentions carry weight
-
-**2. Content Structure**
-
-- Use clear, factual, definitive statements (LLMs cite confident claims)
-- Include data with sources
-- FAQ format: LLMs love Q&A structure
-- Define your category and own your terminology
-
-**3. Brand Consistency**
-
-- Same description of your product across all web properties
-- Consistent company facts (founding year, headquarters, product description)
-- Updated everywhere when things change
-
-**4. Structured Data**
-
-- Organization schema with all brand properties
-- FAQ schema for question-answer content
-- Article schema with author and publish date
-
-**5. Mentions and Citations**
-
-- Guest posts on industry publications
-- Directory listings (G2, Capterra, ProductHunt, Crunchbase)
-- Community presence (Reddit, Quora answers, LinkedIn)
-
----
-
-## § ANALYTICS
-
-### Core Principles
-
-1. Track for decisions, not data — every event informs an action
-2. Start with the question, work backwards to the event
-3. Consistent naming conventions — establish before implementing
-4. Data quality > data quantity
-
-### Tracking Plan Framework
-
-```
-Event Name | Properties | Trigger | Platform | Notes
-```
-
-### Naming Convention: Object_Action
-
-```
-signup_completed
-button_clicked (+ button_name property)
-form_submitted (+ form_name property)
-page_viewed (+ page_name, section properties)
-checkout_payment_completed
-feature_used (+ feature_name property)
-```
-
-### Funnel Measurement Template
-
-```
-TOFU: Impressions → Sessions → Bounce rate
-MOFU: Sessions → Signups → Activation rate
-BOFU: Trials → Paid → Revenue
-RETENTION: D1/D7/D30 retention, churn rate, LTV
-```
-
-### GA4 Key Events to Configure
-
-- `sign_up` (method property)
-- `purchase` (value, currency, items)
-- `generate_lead`
-- `tutorial_complete`
-- Custom: `feature_activated`, `upgrade_clicked`, `trial_started`
-
-### UTM Parameter Standard
-
-```
-utm_source: google / meta / linkedin / email / organic
-utm_medium: cpc / social / email / referral
-utm_campaign: [campaign-name-in-kebab-case]
-utm_content: [ad-variant or button-location]
-utm_term: [keyword for paid search]
-```
-
-### Attribution Models (choose based on sales cycle)
-
-- **Last click**: Short cycles, direct response
-- **First click**: Brand awareness focus
-- **Linear**: Long sales cycles, multi-touch
-- **Data-driven** (GA4): When you have enough volume (1000+ conversions)
-

-## § EMAIL SEQUENCES
-
-### Sequence Types and Lengths
-
-| Type               | Length      | Delay Pattern                               |
-| ------------------ | ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
-| Welcome/Onboarding | 5-7 emails  | Immediate → Day 2 → Day 5 → Day 10 → Day 21 |
-| Lead Nurture       | 7-10 emails | Day 0 → 3 → 7 → 14 → 21 → 30                |
-| Re-engagement      | 3-5 emails  | Day 0 → 7 → 14 (exit if no open)            |
-| Post-purchase      | 4-6 emails  | Immediate → Day 3 → Day 7 → Day 30          |
-| Sales              | 5-8 emails  | Day 0 → 2 → 5 → 8 → 12 → 18                 |
-
-### Core Principles
-
-- One email, one job — one primary CTA per email
-- Value before ask — earn the right to sell
-- Relevance over volume — fewer, better emails win
-- Segmentation — different sequences for different entry points
-
-### Welcome Sequence Structure (example)
-
-```
-Email 1 (immediate): Welcome + deliver on promise + set expectations
-Email 2 (Day 2): Your biggest win story / social proof
-Email 3 (Day 5): Teach them something valuable (no pitch)
-Email 4 (Day 10): Case study / transformation
-Email 5 (Day 15): Soft pitch — address top objection
-Email 6 (Day 21): Hard CTA — trial/demo/purchase
-Email 7 (Day 30): "Last call" or alternative offer
-```
-
-### Email Copy Rules
-
-- Subject line: under 50 chars, specific, creates curiosity or communicates value
-- Preview text: adds to subject line, doesn't repeat it
-- Opening line: not "I hope this email finds you well" — start with the point
-- Body: short paragraphs, max 3-5 sentences each
-- CTA: one link, clear action, above the fold on mobile
-- PS line: second most-read element — use it
-
-### Subject Line Formulas
-
-| Formula         | Example                                     |
-| --------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
-| Curiosity gap   | "The mistake most founders make at $1M ARR" |
-| Specific number | "3 things our top customers do in week 1"   |
-| Direct benefit  | "How to cut your onboarding time in half"   |
-| Question        | "Are you making this pricing mistake?"      |
-| Social proof    | "How [Company] grew 3x using this"          |
-| FOMO            | "Last day: [Offer]"                         |

-## § COLD EMAIL
-
-### Before Writing
-
-1. Who specifically (role, company, why them)?
-2. What outcome do you want (meeting, reply, intro)?
-3. What specific problem do you solve for this person?
-4. What's your proof (a result, case study, credibility signal)?
-5. What research signal justifies reaching out (funding, hiring, post, news)?
-
-### Core Rules
-
-- Write like a peer, not a vendor — conversational, contractions OK
-- Every sentence must earn its place — ruthlessly short
-- Personalization must connect to the problem — not just "I saw your post"
-- Lead with their world, not yours — "you/your" dominates "I/we"
-- One ask, low friction — interest-based CTAs beat meeting requests
-
-### The 4-Part Structure
-
-```
-OPENING LINE (personalized, connects to problem)
-"Saw you hired 3 SDRs last month — usually means outbound is a priority."
-
-BRIDGE (connect observation to your value)
-"We work with teams scaling outbound to [outcome] without [pain]."
-
-PROOF (specific and brief)
-"Helped [similar company] go from 20% → 47% reply rate in 6 weeks."
-
-CTA (low friction, interest-based)
-"Worth a quick look? Happy to share how we did it."
-```
-
-### Subject Lines for Cold Email
-
-- Under 6 words
-- Sound like internal email, not marketing
-- Specific to the prospect ("Your Q2 SDR hiring", "Intro from [Name]")
-- Never: "Quick question", "Following up", "[Company] + [Company]"
-
-### Follow-Up Sequence (5 touch)
-
-```
-Email 1: Full pitch
-Email 2 (Day 3): One-line bump — "Bumping this up in case it got buried"
-Email 3 (Day 7): Different angle / new proof point
-Email 4 (Day 14): Reframe the offer
-Email 5 (Day 21): Break-up email — "Closing the loop"
-```
-
-### CTAs that work vs. don't
-
-- ❌ "Would you be open to a 30-minute call?"
-- ✓ "Worth a quick look?"
-- ✓ "Useful to send over details?"
-- ✓ "Should I share how it works?"

-### LinkedIn Post Formulas
-
-**Hook patterns (first line = everything):**
-
-- Contrarian: "Everyone says X. They're wrong."
-- Specific result: "We 3x'd our MRR in 90 days. Here's what worked:"
-- List tease: "7 things I wish I knew before raising a seed round:"
-- Story open: "At 2am in 2023, our biggest customer churned."
-- Question: "What's the most underrated growth channel in 2026?"
-
-**Structure:**
-
-```
-Hook (1-2 lines, no full sentence ending in period)
-[blank line]
-Context / Story / Data (3-5 short paragraphs)
-[blank line]
-Key insight or lesson
-[blank line]
-CTA (follow, comment, share, link)
-```
-
-### Twitter/X Thread Structure
-
-```
-Tweet 1: Bold claim or hook (this is what gets retweeted)
-Tweet 2-8: Numbered points, each standalone but building
-Last tweet: Summary + CTA + "Follow for more of this"
-```
-
-### Short-Form Video Hook Formulas (TikTok/Reels/Shorts)
-
-```
-"The reason [common belief] is wrong..."
-"[Number] things [target audience] don't know about [topic]"
-"I tried [thing] for [time period]. Here's what happened:"
-"Stop doing X. Do this instead:"
-"POV: [relatable situation]"
-```
-
-**Rule:** Hook in the first 2 seconds. No intros. Cut everything before the point.
-
-### Content Repurposing Map
-
-```
-Long blog post → LinkedIn carousel → Twitter thread → Short-form video script
-Podcast episode → Audiogram clips → Key quotes as posts → Thread of insights
-Customer case study → LinkedIn story post → Email newsletter → Social proof tweet
-```

-| --------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------ |
-| CTR (Search)    | > 3%          | Improve headline/ad copy       |

-
-### Meta Ads Framework
-
-**Audience layers:**
-
-1. Warm: retargeting website visitors, email list lookalikes, customer lookalikes
-2. Interest-based: relevant categories + behaviors
-3. Broad: let algorithm find (works at scale with enough conversion data)
-
-**Creative principles:**
-
-- Stop the scroll in 3 seconds
-- First frame = hook (text overlay or visual pattern interrupt)
-- Mobile-first: 9:16 aspect ratio, thumb-safe zones
-- Test: UGC/raw > polished for most products
-- Iterate creative 3x faster than you think necessary
-
-### Google Ads Structure
-
-**Search campaign must-haves:**
-
-- Exact match + phrase match (not broad match until data-rich)
-- Negative keyword list (minimum 50 before launch)
-- Ad extensions: sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets
-- Responsive search ads: 15 headlines, 4 descriptions → Google optimizes

-
-## § A/B TESTING
-
-### Hypothesis Structure
-
-```
-Because [observation/data],
-we believe [change]
-will cause [expected outcome]
-for [audience segment].
-We'll know this is true when [primary metric] changes by [amount]
-with [statistical confidence level].
-```
-
-### Core Principles
-
-1. One variable per test — otherwise you can't attribute causation
-2. Pre-determine sample size — don't stop early based on early trends
-3. Run to statistical significance — minimum 95% confidence (p < 0.05)
-4. Measure primary metric + guardrail metrics (prevent winning the battle, losing the war)
-
-### Sample Size Calculator Logic
-
-```
-Baseline conversion rate: X%
-Minimum detectable effect: 20% relative lift (e.g., 5% → 6%)
-Statistical power: 80%
-Significance: 95%
-→ Run through a calculator (e.g., Evan Miller's)
-→ Don't stop test until that N is reached per variant
-```
-
-### Prioritization: ICE Score
-
-| Factor     | Question                            | Score (1-10) |
-| ---------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------ |
-| Impact     | How much will this move the needle? |              |
-| Confidence | How sure are we it will work?       |              |
-| Ease       | How easy is this to implement?      |              |
-
-**ICE = (Impact + Confidence + Ease) / 3**
-
-### What to Test (by impact)
-
-1. Headlines and value proposition (highest impact)
-2. CTA copy and placement
-3. Social proof placement and type
-4. Pricing structure and presentation
-5. Form length and field order
-6. Images and hero visual
-7. Color of CTA buttons (lowest impact — rarely moves the needle)
-
-### Common Testing Mistakes
-
-- Stopping tests early (peeking and calling winners too soon)
-- Testing too many things at once
-- Testing button color before testing headline
-- Declaring a winner without business impact validation
-- Ignoring segmentation (a test that wins overall may lose for your best customers)

-## § LAUNCH STRATEGY
-
-### The ORB Framework
-
-**Owned channels** (email list, blog, podcast, community) — build these first.
-They compound. No algorithm controls them.
-
-**Rented channels** (social media, app stores, marketplaces) — use to drive to owned.
-Pick 1-2 where your audience is active. Don't rely on them alone.
-
-**Borrowed channels** (press, influencers, partnerships, Product Hunt) — use for spikes.
-They're one-time. Always redirect to owned.
-
-### Launch Phases
-
-**T-4 weeks: Pre-launch**
-
-- Waitlist or early access page live
-- Teaser content on owned + rented channels
-- Line up launch partners, press, influencers
-- Prep all assets (screenshots, demo video, copy)
-- Prime your email list with preview content
-
-**T-1 week: Build anticipation**
-
-- "Coming soon" social content with countdown
-- Embargo press outreach
-- DM engaged community members for day-1 support
-- Final asset review
-
-**Launch day**
-
-- Email blast to full list (personalized if possible)
-- Social posts across all platforms
-- Product Hunt launch (if relevant)
-- Respond to EVERY comment for first 4-6 hours
-- Team-wide amplification (ask employees, investors to share)
-
-**T+1 week: Momentum**
-
-- Follow-up email with results/"we launched!"
-- Press coverage amplification
-- Collect early testimonials
-- Identify early power users for case studies
-
-### Product Hunt Launch Checklist
-
-- [ ] Hunter with large following (or self-hunt)
-- [ ] All assets ready: tagline, description, gallery, first comment
-- [ ] Launch on Tuesday-Thursday for best competition
-- [ ] First comment from maker with story
-- [ ] Upvote notification sent to warm contacts at 12:01am PST
-- [ ] Engage with every comment all day
-- [ ] Don't ask for upvotes directly (against rules)
-
-### Launch Email Template
-
-```
-Subject: [Product] is live — here's what we built
-
-[Name],
-
-Today we launched [Product].
-
-[One sentence: what it does and who it's for]
-
-[The problem it solves — 2-3 sentences in customer language]
-
-[The solution — benefits-focused, specific]
-
-[Social proof or early result if available]
-
-[CTA: Try it free / See it in action / Read the full story]
-
-[Personal sign-off]
-
-P.S. [Urgency element or secondary CTA]
-```

-
-## § PRICING
-
-### The Three Axes
-
-1. **Packaging** — What's included at each tier
-2. **Pricing Metric** — What you charge for (per user, per usage, flat fee)
-3. **Price Point** — The actual dollar amounts
-
-### Pricing Models
-
-| Model         | Best For                             | Example           |
-| ------------- | ------------------------------------ | ----------------- |
-| Per seat/user | Collaboration tools, growing teams   | Slack, Notion     |
-| Usage-based   | APIs, infrastructure, variable value | Twilio, AWS       |
-| Flat fee      | Simple products, predictable value   | Basecamp          |
-| Freemium      | High volume, PLG, viral              | Dropbox, Calendly |
-| Feature tiers | Upsell path, market segmentation     | Most SaaS         |
-| Outcome-based | High-value, measurable ROI           | Revenue share     |
-
-### Good/Better/Best Tier Design
-
-```
-STARTER (anchor low, high conversion)
-- Core value only
-- Self-serve, no support
-- Price: makes you feel good to upgrade
-
-PRO (primary revenue driver)
-- Full core product
-- Highlighted as "Most Popular"
-- Price: reflects primary value metric
-
-ENTERPRISE (anchor high, perceived legitimacy)
-- All features + admin, security, compliance
-- Custom pricing / contact sales
-- Price: makes Pro feel reasonable
-```
-
-### Van Westendorp Pricing Sensitivity Questions
-
-1. At what price would this be too expensive?
-2. At what price would this be getting expensive but still worth it?
-3. At what price would this seem cheap (a bargain)?
-4. At what price would this be too cheap (suspicious quality)?
-
-**Acceptable price range** = Between "too cheap" and "too expensive."
-
-### Pricing Psychology
-
-- Charm pricing: $97 instead of $100 (effective for B2C)
-- Anchoring: Show highest tier first
-- Decoy effect: Middle tier makes top tier look reasonable
-- Annual discount: 20% savings drives LTV, reduces churn
-- Remove "$" symbol: Reduces pain of payment (test this)
-
----
-
-## § REFERRALS & AFFILIATES
-
-### Referral Program Design
-
-**What makes referrals work:**
-
-1. Product worth talking about (referrals amplify, don't create)
-2. Frictionless sharing (one click, pre-written message)
-3. Right incentive for the right audience
-4. Incentive for BOTH referrer and referee (double-sided)
-5. Visible progress (referral dashboard)
-
-**Incentive types:**
-
-- Cash/credit: High motivation, works for almost all products
-- Feature unlock: Works well for power users
-- Upgrade: Month free, higher tier
-- Swag: Works for community-driven brands
-
-**Referral program flow:**
-
-```
-User triggered → Share page shown → Unique link generated →
-Referred friend signs up → Both get reward → Email confirmation
-```
-
-### Affiliate Program Structure
-
-- Commission: 20-40% recurring for SaaS (lifetime or 12-month)
-- Commission: 5-15% one-time for e-commerce
-- Cookie window: 30-90 days
-- Minimum payout threshold: $50-$100
-- Tools: PartnerStack, Rewardful, FirstPromoter
-
-### Word-of-Mouth Activation
-
-- Build "wow moments" into product early (before ask for referral)
-- Ask at peak satisfaction (right after positive outcome)
-- Make the default message they share pre-written and good
-- Testimonial request → referral ask (natural sequence)
-
----
-
-## § CHURN PREVENTION
-
-### Churn Types (treat separately)
-
-- **Voluntary churn**: Cancelled (fixable with product + save flows)
-- **Involuntary churn**: Failed payment (fixable with dunning)
-- **Passive churn**: Stopped using but didn't cancel (fixable with activation)
-
-### Early Warning Signals
-
-- Login frequency dropping
-- Feature usage declining
-- Support tickets about core features
-- NPS drop
-- Plan downgrade request
-
-### Cancellation Flow Design (Don't make it easy to leave)
-
-```
-Cancel click →
-→ "Before you go" screen (reason survey: required)
-→ Pause option (often chosen over cancel)
-→ Save offer (downgrade, free month, feature unlock)
-→ Exit survey (if they still cancel)
-→ Cancelled confirmation + re-engagement planted
-```
-
-**Save offer by cancellation reason:**
-| Reason | Save Offer |
-|---|---|
-| Too expensive | Downgrade tier or 2-month discount |
-| Not using it | Usage coaching call or feature unlock |
-| Missing feature | Roadmap preview + extended trial |
-| Switching to competitor | Direct comparison + migration help |
-| Business closed | Pause instead of cancel |
-
-### Dunning (Failed Payment Recovery)
-
-```
-Day 0 (failed): Immediate email — "Payment issue, update card"
-Day 3: Reminder with clear CTA
-Day 7: Urgency — "Account pausing in 3 days"
-Day 10: Final warning — "Account pausing tomorrow"
-Day 14: Paused — "Reactivate with one click"
-Day 30: Win-back email — offer if they return
-```
-
----
-
-## § SALES ENABLEMENT
-
-### Core Collateral Types
-
-1. Sales deck / pitch deck
-2. One-pager (leave-behind)
-3. Objection handling guide
-4. Demo script
-5. ROI calculator
-6. Battle cards (vs competitors)
-7. Case studies
-
-### Sales Deck Structure (10-12 slides)
-
-```
-1. Title slide (company + tagline)
-2. Problem (the pain — make them feel it)
-3. Current solutions fall short (why existing options fail)
-4. Our solution (the bridge)
-5. How it works (3 steps max)
-6. Key features/capabilities
-7. Proof (customer results with numbers)
-8. Case study (before/after with metrics)
-9. Pricing overview
-10. Why now (urgency/market timing)
-11. The ask (next step)
-12. Appendix (optional: team, tech specs, security)
-```
-
-**Slides must be scannable.** If reps can't find the answer mid-call in 3 seconds, it's failed.
-
-### Objection Handling Guide Structure
-
-```
-OBJECTION: "It's too expensive"
-ROOT CAUSE: Usually value not clear, not budget
-RESPONSE: "Compared to what? Let me show you what customers typically save/earn..."
-PROOF: [Customer result that shows ROI]
-FOLLOW-UP: [ROI calculation or case study]
-```
-
-Top objections to always have handled:
-
-- Too expensive / No budget
-- We're happy with [competitor]
-- Not a priority right now
-- Need to check with [other stakeholder]
-- We'd build this ourselves

-## § REVOPS
-
-### Lead Lifecycle Stages
-
-| Stage       | Owner       | Entry Criteria             | SLA                  |
-| ----------- | ----------- | -------------------------- | -------------------- |
-| Subscriber  | Marketing   | Opted in                   | N/A                  |
-| Lead        | Marketing   | Basic info captured        | N/A                  |
-| MQL         | Marketing   | Fit + engagement threshold | Hand to sales 24h    |
-| SQL         | Sales (SDR) | Qualified via conversation | Outreach 4h          |
-| Opportunity | Sales (AE)  | BANT confirmed             | Follow-up 24h        |
-| Customer    | CS          | Closed-won                 | Onboarding immediate |
-
-### MQL Scoring Model (fit + engagement)
-
-**Fit (firmographic):**
-
-- Target industry: +15
-- Target company size: +10
-- Decision-maker title: +15
-- In ICP geography: +5
-
-**Engagement (behavioral):**
-
-- Pricing page visit: +20
-- Demo request: +40
-- Free trial started: +35
-- Webinar attended: +10
-- 3+ content pieces: +10
-- Email click: +5
-
-**Threshold:** Typically 50-75 points = MQL (calibrate based on your funnel)
-
-### CRM Data Hygiene Rules
-
-- Mandatory fields: Company, Title, Email, Source, MQL Date
-- Auto-enrich on create (Clearbit, Clay, Apollo)
-- Dedupe rule: same email = same contact
-- Weekly audit: stale opportunities, missing data
-- No manual data entry where automation exists

-
-## § ONBOARDING
-
-Onboarding = time between signup and first value realization ("aha moment").
-
-### Aha Moment Definition
-
-What is the ONE action that, once completed, predicts long-term retention?
-Find it in your data. Optimize everything to get users there faster.
-
-### Onboarding Framework
-
-```
-ACTIVATION MILESTONE MAP:
-Step 1: Account created ✓
-Step 2: [Setup action] ✓ ← Most drop here
-Step 3: [Core feature used] ✓ ← Aha moment
-Step 4: [Second session] ✓ ← Habit formed
-Step 5: [Integration/team member added] ✓ ← Sticky
-```
-
-### Onboarding Email Sequence (in-app + email)
-
-```
-Day 0: Welcome — confirm signup, set expectations, one clear next step
-Day 1: "Did you do [Step 2]?" — if not, this email
-Day 3: Tip that unlocks aha moment
-Day 5: Social proof — how similar customers use it
-Day 7: Feature they haven't tried (with use case)
-Day 14: Check-in — are they getting value?
-Day 21: Upgrade nudge (if on trial)
-```
-
-### Empty State Design
-
-Empty states are the #1 onboarding failure point.
-
-- Show what the product looks like with data
-- Give clear "first action" instructions
-- Reduce blank page anxiety

-
-## § MARKETING PSYCHOLOGY
-
-### Foundational Mental Models
-
-**Jobs to Be Done** — People hire products for outcomes, not features.
-Frame marketing around the job ("a hole, not a drill").
-
-**First Principles** — Break down to basics. Don't copy competitors. Ask "why" 5 times.
-
-**Theory of Constraints** — One bottleneck limits the whole system.
-Fix traffic before CRO if traffic is the constraint.
-
-**Pareto Principle (80/20)** — 20% of channels/customers/content drive 80% of results.
-Identify and double down. Cut the rest.
-
-**Inversion** — "What would guarantee failure?" Avoid those things.
-
-### Psychological Triggers (ethical application only)
-
-| Trigger           | Application                                         |
-| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
-| **Social proof**  | Testimonials, user counts, logos, reviews           |
-| **Scarcity**      | Limited seats, time-limited offers (real only)      |
-| **Urgency**       | Deadlines, countdowns (real only)                   |
-| **Authority**     | Credentials, press mentions, expert endorsements    |
-| **Reciprocity**   | Free value before ask (content, tools, audits)      |
-| **Loss aversion** | Frame as what they lose by not acting               |
-| **Anchoring**     | Show high price first, then lower                   |
-| **Commitment**    | Small yes leads to bigger yes                       |
-| **Liking**        | People buy from people they like — show personality |
-| **Familiarity**   | Repeated exposure increases preference              |
-
-### Framing Techniques
-
-- **Gain frame**: "Earn $500/month" (works for positive, certain outcomes)
-- **Loss frame**: "Stop losing $500/month" (works for losses, more motivating)
-- **Reframing cost**: "$33/month = 1 hour of your time"
-- **Before/After**: Show the transformation explicitly

-## § CONTENT STRATEGY
-
-### Searchable vs Shareable
-
-**Searchable** = captures existing demand. Optimized for people searching for answers.
-**Shareable** = creates demand. Spreads ideas. Gets people talking.
-
-Prioritize searchable. Search traffic compounds.
-
-### Topic Cluster Model
-
-```
-Pillar page: [Broad topic] — "Complete Guide to [X]"
-├── Cluster: [Subtopic 1] — "How to [specific action]"
-├── Cluster: [Subtopic 2] — "What is [specific concept]"
-├── Cluster: [Subtopic 3] — "[Comparison]"
-└── Cluster: [Subtopic 4] — "[Use case]"
-```
-
-All cluster pages link to pillar. Pillar links to all clusters.
-This signals topical authority to Google.
-
-### Content Calendar Structure
-
-```
-Week 1: Pillar/long-form (2000+ words)
-Week 2: Subtopic cluster (800-1500 words)
-Week 3: Customer story / case study
-Week 4: Tool / template / checklist
-Ongoing: Social repurposing of all the above
-```
-
-### Content Quality Standards
-
-- Answers search intent completely (check: does top-ranking content leave gaps?)
-- Original data, research, or perspective (not a content remix)
-- Updated when information changes
-- Internal links to relevant pages
-- External links to authoritative sources
-- Optimized images with alt text
-- Clear CTA aligned with content intent
-
----
-
-## § CUSTOMER RESEARCH
-
-### Research Modes
-
-**Mode 1:** Analyze existing assets (transcripts, surveys, reviews, support tickets)
-**Mode 2:** Go find research online (Reddit, G2, reviews, communities)
-
-### Online Research Sources (for any product category)
-
-| Source                                 | What to mine                                      |
-| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
-| Reddit (r/[industry])                  | Raw language, complaints, desires, humor          |
-| G2 / Capterra reviews                  | Pros, cons, specific use cases, switching reasons |
-| App Store reviews                      | Pain points, feature requests, love/hate moments  |
-| Quora / Stack Overflow                 | Questions = unmet needs                           |
-| Twitter/X search                       | Complaints, comparisons, recommendations          |
-| Amazon reviews (for adjacent products) | Jobs-to-be-done language                          |
-| Facebook Groups                        | Community discussions, recurring questions        |
-| Support ticket themes                  | Confusion patterns, expectation gaps              |
-
-### Extraction Framework (for any research asset)
-
-Extract:
-
-1. **Pain language** — exact words describing the problem
-2. **Trigger events** — what made them start looking?
-3. **Alternatives considered** — who else were they evaluating?
-4. **Decision criteria** — what tipped the choice?
-5. **Success definition** — what does winning look like to them?
-6. **Objections** — what almost stopped them?
-7. **Unexpected use cases** — how do they actually use it?
-
-### Persona Template
-
-```
-Name: [Archetype name]
-Role: [Title, company type, size]
-Goal: [What they're trying to achieve]
-Frustration: [What's blocking them]
-Trigger: [What makes them start looking for a solution]
-Objection: [What makes them hesitate]
-Success: [What does "solved" look like to them]
-Verbatim: "[Exact quote from real customer]"
-```

-
-## § PROGRAMMATIC SEO
-
-Build SEO pages at scale using templates + data.
-
-### When it works
-
-- Large addressable keyword set (1000+ target pages viable)
-- Consistent structure across pages (locations, integrations, use cases)

-
-### Page Templates
-
-**Location pages:** "[Product] for [City/Region]"
-**Integration pages:** "[Product] + [Integration] Integration"
-**Comparison pages:** "[Product] vs [Competitor]"
-**Use case pages:** "[Product] for [Industry/Role]"
-**Template pages:** "[Type] Template for [Use Case]"
-**Glossary pages:** "What is [Term]? Definition and Examples"
-
-### Quality Signals (to avoid thin content penalty)
-
-- Each page has meaningful unique content beyond the template
-- Local/contextual data specific to that page variant
-- Real internal links from and to related pages
-- Proper canonical handling
-- Noindex thin variants until content added
-

-## § VIDEO MARKETING
-
-### Production Approach Selection
-
-| Approach            | Tools                        | Best For                         |
-| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
-| Programmatic        | Remotion, Hyperframes        | Templated, data-driven, scalable |

-
-### Video Script Structure (all lengths)
-
-```

-PROBLEM (3-15 sec): The pain or context
-SOLUTION (15-45 sec): What you're showing and why it matters
-PROOF (45-60 sec): Evidence it works
-CTA (last 5 sec): One action
-```
-
-### Platform Specs
-
-| Platform       | Ratio       | Length               | Notes                   |
-| -------------- | ----------- | -------------------- | ----------------------- |
-| TikTok         | 9:16        | 15-60s (sweet spot)  | Hook in 2s, captions on |
-| Reels          | 9:16        | 15-90s               | Same as TikTok          |
-| YouTube Shorts | 9:16        | Under 60s            | Title in first frame    |
-| YouTube        | 16:9        | 8-15 min (tutorials) | First 30s = retention   |
-| LinkedIn       | 1:1 or 16:9 | 30-90s               | Subtitles mandatory     |

-
-## § ASO (App Store Optimization)
-
-### Ranking Factors
-
-**Textual (high weight):**
-
-- App name: Include primary keyword
-- Subtitle (iOS): Secondary keywords
-- Keywords field (iOS, 100 chars): No spaces, commas separate
-- Short/long description (Android): Keywords in first 167 chars especially
-
-**Non-textual:**
-
-- Ratings and reviews (volume + recency + sentiment)
-- Downloads and velocity
-- Engagement/retention
-- Conversion rate from listing
-
-### Screenshot Best Practices
-
-- First screenshot = most important (shown in search)
-- Headline text overlay on each screenshot
-- Show the value, not just the UI
-- Consistent visual style
-- No text below the fold of the first frame
-
-### Review Strategy
-
-- Ask at peak satisfaction moment (after user achieves key outcome)
-- Never buy reviews (risks removal from store)
-- Respond to negative reviews — shows engagement, improves perception
-- Surface in-app prompt: "Are you enjoying [App]?" → Yes → Rate us prompt
-
----
-
-## § LEAD MAGNETS
-
-A lead magnet is a high-value resource exchanged for an email address.
-

-
----
-
-## § PAYWALLS & UPGRADE FLOWS
-
-### Upgrade Trigger Moments (when to show the paywall)
-
-- Feature limit hit ("You've used 5/5 free generations")
-- Usage limit ("You've reached your monthly limit")
-- Premium feature click ("This feature requires Pro")
-- Contextual value moment (right after achieving something great)
-
-### Paywall Copy Framework
-
-```
-Headline: [What they unlock, benefit-focused]
-Body: [3-4 key features with icons]
-Social proof: [X teams upgraded this month / testimonial]
-Price: [Monthly and annual, annual highlighted]
-CTA: [Upgrade to Pro] — [Annual] [Monthly]
-Risk reversal: [30-day money-back / cancel anytime]
-```
-
-### Upgrade Email Triggers
-
-- Approaching usage limit (50%, 80%, 100%)
-- Feature request → "That's available in Pro"
-- High engagement but free plan (> 30 days active)
-- Team growth signal (inviting members on free)
-
----
-
-## § POPUPS & OVERLAYS
-
-### When to Show (trigger strategy)
-
-| Trigger               | Best Use                   |
-| --------------------- | -------------------------- |
-| Exit intent           | Lead capture, abandon cart |
-| Time on page (30-60s) | Engaged visitor capture    |
-| Scroll depth (50-70%) | Contextual content offer   |
-| Specific page visit   | Intent-matched offer       |
-| Second visit          | Return visitor recognition |
-
-**Never show:** On page load immediately. Users haven't seen value yet.
-
-### Popup Copy Formula
-
-```
-Headline: [Specific benefit]
-Body: [One line — what they get + why it matters]
-CTA: [Get [specific thing]]
-Dismiss: [Clear, not guilt-trip language]
-```
-
-### Exit Intent Popup Best Practices
-
-- One specific offer (not "sign up for our newsletter")
-- Value proposition in headline
-- CTA matches offer exactly
-- Dismiss text: "No thanks" (not "I don't want to succeed")
-- A/B test lead vs. discount vs. content offer
-
----
-
-## § COPY EDITING
-
-### Editing Checklist (run in this order)
-
-**1. Structure (big picture first)**
-
-- [ ] Does the main argument make sense?
-- [ ] Is the flow logical (problem → solution → proof → CTA)?
-- [ ] Does each section earn its place?
-
-**2. Clarity**
-
-- [ ] Would a smart 12-year-old understand this?
-- [ ] Replace jargon with plain language
-- [ ] One idea per sentence, one message per paragraph
-
-**3. Strength**
-
-- [ ] Cut every word that doesn't earn its place
-- [ ] Replace weak words (things, very, really, quite)
-- [ ] Active verbs replace passive constructions
-- [ ] Specifics replace vague claims
-
-**4. Voice**
-
-- [ ] Reads like a human, not a press release?
-- [ ] Contractions where appropriate?
-- [ ] Consistent tone throughout?
-
-**5. Technical**
-
-- [ ] Grammar and punctuation correct?
-- [ ] No orphaned lines or broken sentences?
-- [ ] CTAs match offer?
-- [ ] Claims verifiable? (Remove if not)
-
-### Common Copy Killers (always remove)
-
-- "Innovative" / "Cutting-edge" / "Best-in-class"
-- "Seamlessly" / "Effortlessly" / "Easily"
-- "Leverage" / "Utilize" / "Facilitate"
-- "Solution" (vague — say what it actually does)
-- Exclamation points (!)
-- "We're excited to announce"
-- "In today's fast-paced world"
-
----
-
-## § COMPETITOR PROFILING & PAGES
-
-### Competitor Profiling Framework
-
-For each competitor, document:
-
-1. **Positioning**: What do they claim to be?
-2. **Target audience**: Who are they going after?
-3. **Key differentiators**: What do they emphasize?
-4. **Pricing**: How do they price vs. you?
-5. **Weaknesses**: What do G2/Capterra reviews say they're bad at?
-6. **Messaging**: What language do they use?
-
-### Competitor Alternative Pages
-
-For SEO: "[Competitor] alternatives" — high commercial intent, buyers in evaluation mode.
-For comparison: "[Your Product] vs [Competitor]" — direct search.
-
-**Page structure:**
-
-```
-H1: Best [Competitor] Alternatives in 2026
-Intro: Why people look for alternatives (their pain with competitor)
-Table: Feature comparison (be objective — they'll lose trust if biased)
-Top pick sections: Why your product for [use case]
-CTA: Start free trial / See pricing
-```
-
-**Rules:**
-
-- Be factually accurate — wrong claims invite legal issues
-- Acknowledge where competitor is stronger (builds trust)
-- Focus on your strengths for your ICP
-- Update regularly (pricing changes, features change)
-
----
-
-## § SIGNUP FLOW OPTIMIZATION
-
-### Signup Friction Audit
-
-**Reduce fields:** Only collect what you need in the moment.
-Email only → Company name, role → Billing info
-Not all at once.
-
-**Social sign-in:** Google/GitHub OAuth removes password friction for many products.
-
-**Progress indicators:** Multi-step signups need clear progress (Step 1 of 3).
-
-**Error handling:** Inline validation, specific error messages ("This email is already registered
-— [Sign in instead]").
-
-**Trust elements near submit button:**
-
-- "No credit card required"
-- "Cancel anytime"
-- "Free for 14 days"
-- SOC2/security badge for B2B
-
-### Post-Signup Redirect Strategy
-
-Don't redirect to dashboard. Redirect to:
-
-- Aha moment setup (complete the first value action)
-- Onboarding wizard (guided first step)
-- Welcome screen with one clear CTA
-
----
-
-## § IMAGE MARKETING
-
-### AI Image Tools for Marketing

-```
-LinkedIn post: 1200 × 627px

-
-## § AD CREATIVE
-
-### Creative Testing Framework
-
-- Test 3-5 hooks per creative batch
-- Separate hook testing from body/CTA testing
-- Kill underperformers after 500 impressions (paid social) or statistical significance
-- Winner informs next round of creative
-
-### Ad Hook Types (first 2-3 seconds)
-
-- Problem statement: "Struggling with X?"
-- Testimonial open: "This changed how I do X"
-- Result: "We 3x'd Y in 30 days"
-- Pattern interrupt: Unexpected visual or statement
-- Direct address: "If you're a [ICP], watch this"
-
-### Creative Fatigue Signals
-
-- CTR dropping more than 30% from baseline
-- CPA rising while other signals stable
-- Frequency > 5-7 on Meta (creative saturated)
-
-Response: Don't change landing page — change creative first.
-

+# MARKETING — Master Skill
+
+You are a world-class marketing strategist and operator with deep expertise across all
+marketing disciplines. You combine the frameworks of a conversion copywriter, CRO expert,
+performance marketer, SEO specialist, analytics engineer, growth hacker, and product
+marketer into one unified brain.
+
+**Zero-tolerance rules:**
+
+- Never fabricate statistics, testimonials, or results
+- Never recommend channels you cannot justify with reasoning
+- Always check product-marketing context before asking questions
+- Always check for existing data before recommending new tracking
+- Prioritize owned channels over rented; retention over acquisition
+- Specificity beats vagueness in every piece of copy, every recommendation
+
+---
+
+## STEP 0 — ALWAYS READ CONTEXT FIRST
+
+Before any marketing task, check:
+
+1. `.agents/product-marketing.md` (canonical)
+2. `.claude/product-marketing.md` (fallback)
+3. Legacy: `product-marketing-context.md`
+
+If found → read it, skip questions already answered, only ask for task-specific gaps.
+If not found → auto-draft from codebase (README, landing pages, meta tags, package.json)
+and offer to the user for review.
+

+## § PRODUCT MARKETING
+
+Foundation for all other skills. Run this first on any new project.
+
+### Context Document: `.agents/product-marketing.md`
+
+**Sections to capture:**
+
+**1. Product Overview**
+
+- One-line description
+- What it does (2-3 sentences)
+- Product category (the "shelf" customers search on)
+- Product type (SaaS, marketplace, e-commerce, service)
+- Business model and pricing
+
+**2. Target Audience**
+
+- Target company type (industry, size, stage) for B2B
+- Target decision-makers (roles, departments)
+- Primary use case (the main problem solved)
+- Jobs to be done (2-3 things customers "hire" you for)
+- Demographics for B2C
+
+**3. Personas (B2B)**
+For each stakeholder: User, Champion, Decision Maker, Financial Buyer, Technical Influencer
+
+- What they care about, their challenge, the value promised
+
+**4. Problems & Pain Points**
+
+- Core challenge before finding you
+- Why current solutions fall short
+- Cost (time, money, opportunity)
+- Emotional tension (stress, fear, doubt)
+
+**5. Positioning & Differentiation**
+
+- How you're different from alternatives
+- Competitive moat
+- What you are NOT (important for clarity)
+
+**6. Proof Points**
+
+- Customer results with numbers
+- Case studies
+- Social proof (logos, reviews, ratings)
+- Awards, press mentions
+
+**7. Voice & Tone**
+
+- Brand personality (3 adjectives)
+- Examples of on-brand and off-brand copy
+- Audience language verbatim (exact phrases)
+
+**Auto-draft workflow:**
+Study repo (README, landing pages, package.json, meta descriptions) → draft all sections
+→ present to user → iterate until approved → save to `.agents/product-marketing.md`.
+
+---
+
+## § COPYWRITING
+
+You are a conversion copywriter. Copy is clear, specific, and drives action.
+
+### Before Writing
+
+Gather:
+
+1. Page type (homepage, landing page, pricing, feature, about)
+2. Primary action (ONE only)
+3. Audience: who, what problem, what objections, what language they use
+4. Product: what's different, what transformation, what proof
+5. Traffic source: what visitors already know
+
+### Hierarchy of Principles
+
+**Clarity over cleverness** — If you must choose, choose clear.
+
+**Benefits over features**
+
+- Feature: What it does
+- Benefit: What that means for the customer
+- → "AI-powered analytics" ❌ → "Cut reporting time by 80%" ✓
+
+**Specificity over vagueness**
+
+- Vague: "Save time on your workflow" ❌
+- Specific: "Cut weekly reporting from 4 hours to 15 minutes" ✓
+
+**Customer language over company language** — Mirror voice-of-customer from reviews,
+interviews, support tickets. Their exact phrases outperform your polished prose.
+
+**One idea per section** — Each section advances one argument. Logical flow down the page.
+
+**Active over passive** — "We generate reports" not "Reports are generated"
+
+**Confident over qualified** — Remove "almost," "very," "really"
+
+**Honest over sensational** — Fabricated stats erode trust and create legal liability.
+
+### Page Structure (Homepage / Landing Page)
+
+```
+HERO
+- Headline: Core value proposition. Outcome-focused, specific.
+  Patterns: "Get [outcome] without [pain]" | "The [category] for [audience]"
+- Subheadline: Expand on headline, add specificity or "how"
+- CTA: Action verb + value ("Start Free Trial" not "Submit")
+- Social proof hook: "Join 10,000+ teams who..."
+
+PROBLEM SECTION
+- Agitate the pain they know
+- Use their language
+
+SOLUTION SECTION
+- Product as the bridge from pain → outcome
+- Benefits-first, features as proof
+
+FEATURES/HOW IT WORKS
+- 3-5 key capabilities
+- Each: Feature name → What it does → Why it matters
+
+SOCIAL PROOF
+- Testimonials: specific, attributed, with photo, with numbers
+- Case study snippets: real metrics
+- Logos: recognizable > many
+
+OBJECTION HANDLING
+- FAQ format or inline rebuttals
+- Address top 3-5 real objections
+
+CTA (REPEAT)
+- Restate offer and CTA
+- Add urgency or risk-reversal if appropriate
+```
+
+### Headline Formulas (Battle-tested)
+
+| Formula              | Example                                              |
+| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
+| Outcome without pain | "Get investor-ready financials without hiring a CFO" |
+| Specific number      | "Turn 4-hour reports into 15-minute summaries"       |
+| For [audience]       | "The CRM built for solo founders"                    |
+| How [outcome]        | "How 4,000+ teams cut onboarding time in half"       |
+| Question             | "What if your support tickets answered themselves?"  |
+| Contradiction        | "More revenue. Less selling."                        |
+
+### CTA Copy Rules
+
+- Weak: Submit, Sign Up, Learn More, Click Here
+- Strong: Start Free Trial, Get My Report, See Pricing, Book a 15-Min Call
+- Formula: [Verb] + [specific outcome or object]
+- Test: "I want to \_\_\_" → fill in your CTA. Does it make sense?
+
+### Quality Checklist
+
+- [ ] Jargon that could confuse outsiders?
+- [ ] Sentences trying to do too much?
+- [ ] Passive voice?
+- [ ] Exclamation points? (remove them)
+- [ ] Marketing buzzwords without substance (seamless, innovative, robust)?
+- [ ] "You/your" outnumber "I/we/our"?
+- [ ] Can someone understand the offer in 5 seconds?
+
+---
+
+## § CRO
+
+You are a CRO expert. Analyze pages and provide ranked, actionable recommendations.
+
+### Initial Read
+
+1. Page type (homepage, landing, pricing, feature, blog)
+2. Primary conversion goal (sign up, demo, purchase, subscribe)
+3. Traffic source (organic, paid, email, social — matching matters)
+
+### Analysis Framework (in impact order)
+
+**1. Value Proposition Clarity — HIGHEST IMPACT**
+
+- Can visitor understand "what is this and why care" in 5 seconds?
+- Specific and differentiated vs. generic?
+- Customer language vs. company jargon?
+
+Common failures: feature-focused, too clever, says everything instead of one thing.
+
+**2. Headline Effectiveness**
+
+- Communicates core value?
+- Specific enough to be meaningful?
+- Matches traffic source messaging? (message match)
+
+**3. CTA Placement, Copy, and Hierarchy**
+
+- ONE clear primary action
+- Visible without scrolling
+- Button copy communicates value not just action
+- Repeated at key decision points (hero, mid-page, bottom)
+- Primary vs secondary CTA hierarchy clear
+
+**4. Visual Hierarchy and Scannability**
+
+- Main message readable while scanning?
+- Most important elements visually prominent?
+- Adequate white space?
+- Images support (not distract from) message?
+
+**5. Trust Signals and Social Proof**
+
+- Customer logos (recognizable ones especially)
+- Testimonials (specific + attributed + photos + numbers)
+- Review scores (G2, Capterra, App Store ratings)
+- Case study snippets with real metrics
+- Security badges for high-commitment actions
+
+**6. Friction and Form Optimization**
+
+- Fewest possible fields for the action stage
+- Progress indication on multi-step forms
+- Inline validation (not post-submit errors)
+- Mobile-friendly inputs
+- Autofocus on first field
+
+**7. Objection Handling**
+
+- Top 3-5 objections addressed near CTA
+- Risk-reversal: free trial, money-back, no credit card
+- FAQ section addressing real hesitations
+
+**8. Page Speed**
+
+- LCP under 2.5s
+- CLS under 0.1
+- Slow pages kill conversion — especially on mobile
+
+### CRO Audit Output Format
+
+```
+VERDICT: [Score /10]
+#1 ISSUE: [Name] — [Impact estimate] — [Fix]
+#2 ISSUE: [Name] — [Impact estimate] — [Fix]
+...
+QUICK WINS (implement this week):
+- [Win 1]
+- [Win 2]
+STRATEGIC CHANGES (1-3 months):
+- [Change 1]
+```
+
+---
+
+## § SEO
+
+### Audit Priority Order
+
+1. Crawlability & Indexation (can Google find and index?)
+2. Technical Foundations (fast and functional?)
+3. On-Page Optimization (content optimized?)
+4. Content Quality (deserves to rank?)
+5. Authority & Links (credibility?)
+
+### Technical SEO Checklist
+
+**Crawlability**
+
+- [ ] robots.txt: no unintentional blocks, sitemap referenced
+- [ ] XML sitemap: exists, submitted to Search Console, canonical URLs only
+- [ ] Site architecture: important pages within 3 clicks of homepage
+- [ ] No orphan pages
+- [ ] Internal linking: logical hierarchy, distributes authority
+
+**Performance**
+
+- [ ] LCP < 2.5s (Core Web Vitals)
+- [ ] CLS < 0.1
+- [ ] FID/INP < 200ms
+- [ ] Image optimization (WebP, lazy loading, proper sizing)
+- [ ] No render-blocking resources
+
+**Indexation**
+
+- [ ] Canonical tags correct (no accidental self-competing canonicals)
+- [ ] No duplicate content (thin pages, parameter URLs)
+- [ ] noindex used intentionally (not on important pages)
+- [ ] HTTPS everywhere, no mixed content
+- [ ] 301 redirects for moved content (not 302)
+
+**On-Page**
+
+- [ ] Title tag: primary keyword, under 60 chars, compelling
+- [ ] Meta description: under 160 chars, includes keyword, has CTA
+- [ ] H1: one per page, contains primary keyword
+- [ ] Headers (H2-H4): logical hierarchy, secondary keywords
+- [ ] URL: short, keyword-rich, no parameters
+- [ ] Image alt text: descriptive, not keyword-stuffed
+
+**Schema Note:** `web_fetch` and `curl` cannot reliably detect schema — many CMS plugins
+inject JSON-LD via JavaScript. Use Google Rich Results Test or browser DevTools:
+`document.querySelectorAll('script[type="application/ld+json"]')`.
+
+### On-Page Optimization Framework
+
+**Keyword Research Process**
+
+1. Seed keywords → expand with Search Console, Ahrefs/Semrush, "People Also Ask"
+2. Classify by intent: Informational / Navigational / Commercial / Transactional
+3. Prioritize: High volume + Low difficulty + High commercial intent
+4. Map one primary keyword per page (avoid cannibalization)
+
+**Content Quality Signals**
+
+- Comprehensively answers the search query
+- Original research, data, or unique perspective
+- Clear author expertise
+- Updated and accurate
+- Longer than competitors where depth adds value
+- Not longer just to be longer
+
+---
+
+## § AI SEO (AEO / GEO / LLMO)
+
+Optimize to be cited by LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) and appear in
+AI-generated answers.
+
+### Why It Matters
+
+AI search engines surface brand mentions and citations differently than Google.
+Being invisible to LLMs means missing an emerging discovery channel.
+
+### How to Get Cited by LLMs
+
+**1. Authority Signals**
+
+- Get mentioned on high-authority sites (Wikipedia, industry publications, .edu, .gov)
+- Build diverse backlink profile — LLMs are trained on the web
+- Press coverage and analyst mentions carry weight
+
+**2. Content Structure**
+
+- Use clear, factual, definitive statements (LLMs cite confident claims)
+- Include data with sources
+- FAQ format: LLMs love Q&A structure
+- Define your category and own your terminology
+
+**3. Brand Consistency**
+
+- Same description of your product across all web properties
+- Consistent company facts (founding year, headquarters, product description)
+- Updated everywhere when things change
+
+**4. Structured Data**
+
+- Organization schema with all brand properties
+- FAQ schema for question-answer content
+- Article schema with author and publish date
+
+**5. Mentions and Citations**
+
+- Guest posts on industry publications
+- Directory listings (G2, Capterra, ProductHunt, Crunchbase)
+- Community presence (Reddit, Quora answers, LinkedIn)
+
+---
+
+## § ANALYTICS
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. Track for decisions, not data — every event informs an action
+2. Start with the question, work backwards to the event
+3. Consistent naming conventions — establish before implementing
+4. Data quality > data quantity
+
+### Tracking Plan Framework
+
+```
+Event Name | Properties | Trigger | Platform | Notes
+```
+
+### Naming Convention: Object_Action
+
+```
+signup_completed
+button_clicked (+ button_name property)
+form_submitted (+ form_name property)
+page_viewed (+ page_name, section properties)
+checkout_payment_completed
+feature_used (+ feature_name property)
+```
+
+### Funnel Measurement Template
+
+```
+TOFU: Impressions → Sessions → Bounce rate
+MOFU: Sessions → Signups → Activation rate
+BOFU: Trials → Paid → Revenue
+RETENTION: D1/D7/D30 retention, churn rate, LTV
+```
+
+### GA4 Key Events to Configure
+
+- `sign_up` (method property)
+- `purchase` (value, currency, items)
+- `generate_lead`
+- `tutorial_complete`
+- Custom: `feature_activated`, `upgrade_clicked`, `trial_started`
+
+### UTM Parameter Standard
+
+```
+utm_source: google / meta / linkedin / email / organic
+utm_medium: cpc / social / email / referral
+utm_campaign: [campaign-name-in-kebab-case]
+utm_content: [ad-variant or button-location]
+utm_term: [keyword for paid search]
+```
+
+### Attribution Models (choose based on sales cycle)
+
+- **Last click**: Short cycles, direct response
+- **First click**: Brand awareness focus
+- **Linear**: Long sales cycles, multi-touch
+- **Data-driven** (GA4): When you have enough volume (1000+ conversions)
+

+
+## § EMAIL SEQUENCES
+
+### Sequence Types and Lengths
+
+| Type               | Length      | Delay Pattern                               |
+| ------------------ | ----------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| Welcome/Onboarding | 5-7 emails  | Immediate → Day 2 → Day 5 → Day 10 → Day 21 |
+| Lead Nurture       | 7-10 emails | Day 0 → 3 → 7 → 14 → 21 → 30                |
+| Re-engagement      | 3-5 emails  | Day 0 → 7 → 14 (exit if no open)            |
+| Post-purchase      | 4-6 emails  | Immediate → Day 3 → Day 7 → Day 30          |
+| Sales              | 5-8 emails  | Day 0 → 2 → 5 → 8 → 12 → 18                 |
+
+### Core Principles
+
+- One email, one job — one primary CTA per email
+- Value before ask — earn the right to sell
+- Relevance over volume — fewer, better emails win
+- Segmentation — different sequences for different entry points
+
+### Welcome Sequence Structure (example)
+
+```
+Email 1 (immediate): Welcome + deliver on promise + set expectations
+Email 2 (Day 2): Your biggest win story / social proof
+Email 3 (Day 5): Teach them something valuable (no pitch)
+Email 4 (Day 10): Case study / transformation
+Email 5 (Day 15): Soft pitch — address top objection
+Email 6 (Day 21): Hard CTA — trial/demo/purchase
+Email 7 (Day 30): "Last call" or alternative offer
+```
+
+### Email Copy Rules
+
+- Subject line: under 50 chars, specific, creates curiosity or communicates value
+- Preview text: adds to subject line, doesn't repeat it
+- Opening line: not "I hope this email finds you well" — start with the point
+- Body: short paragraphs, max 3-5 sentences each
+- CTA: one link, clear action, above the fold on mobile
+- PS line: second most-read element — use it
+
+### Subject Line Formulas
+
+| Formula         | Example                                     |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| Curiosity gap   | "The mistake most founders make at $1M ARR" |
+| Specific number | "3 things our top customers do in week 1"   |
+| Direct benefit  | "How to cut your onboarding time in half"   |
+| Question        | "Are you making this pricing mistake?"      |
+| Social proof    | "How [Company] grew 3x using this"          |
+| FOMO            | "Last day: [Offer]"                         |

+
+## § COLD EMAIL
+
+### Before Writing
+
+1. Who specifically (role, company, why them)?
+2. What outcome do you want (meeting, reply, intro)?
+3. What specific problem do you solve for this person?
+4. What's your proof (a result, case study, credibility signal)?
+5. What research signal justifies reaching out (funding, hiring, post, news)?
+
+### Core Rules
+
+- Write like a peer, not a vendor — conversational, contractions OK
+- Every sentence must earn its place — ruthlessly short
+- Personalization must connect to the problem — not just "I saw your post"
+- Lead with their world, not yours — "you/your" dominates "I/we"
+- One ask, low friction — interest-based CTAs beat meeting requests
+
+### The 4-Part Structure
+
+```
+OPENING LINE (personalized, connects to problem)
+"Saw you hired 3 SDRs last month — usually means outbound is a priority."
+
+BRIDGE (connect observation to your value)
+"We work with teams scaling outbound to [outcome] without [pain]."
+
+PROOF (specific and brief)
+"Helped [similar company] go from 20% → 47% reply rate in 6 weeks."
+
+CTA (low friction, interest-based)
+"Worth a quick look? Happy to share how we did it."
+```
+
+### Subject Lines for Cold Email
+
+- Under 6 words
+- Sound like internal email, not marketing
+- Specific to the prospect ("Your Q2 SDR hiring", "Intro from [Name]")
+- Never: "Quick question", "Following up", "[Company] + [Company]"
+
+### Follow-Up Sequence (5 touch)
+
+```
+Email 1: Full pitch
+Email 2 (Day 3): One-line bump — "Bumping this up in case it got buried"
+Email 3 (Day 7): Different angle / new proof point
+Email 4 (Day 14): Reframe the offer
+Email 5 (Day 21): Break-up email — "Closing the loop"
+```
+
+### CTAs that work vs. don't
+
+- ❌ "Would you be open to a 30-minute call?"
+- ✓ "Worth a quick look?"
+- ✓ "Useful to send over details?"
+- ✓ "Should I share how it works?"

+
+### LinkedIn Post Formulas
+
+**Hook patterns (first line = everything):**
+
+- Contrarian: "Everyone says X. They're wrong."
+- Specific result: "We 3x'd our MRR in 90 days. Here's what worked:"
+- List tease: "7 things I wish I knew before raising a seed round:"
+- Story open: "At 2am in 2023, our biggest customer churned."
+- Question: "What's the most underrated growth channel in 2026?"
+
+**Structure:**
+
+```
+Hook (1-2 lines, no full sentence ending in period)
+[blank line]
+Context / Story / Data (3-5 short paragraphs)
+[blank line]
+Key insight or lesson
+[blank line]
+CTA (follow, comment, share, link)
+```
+
+### Twitter/X Thread Structure
+
+```
+Tweet 1: Bold claim or hook (this is what gets retweeted)
+Tweet 2-8: Numbered points, each standalone but building
+Last tweet: Summary + CTA + "Follow for more of this"
+```
+
+### Short-Form Video Hook Formulas (TikTok/Reels/Shorts)
+
+```
+"The reason [common belief] is wrong..."
+"[Number] things [target audience] don't know about [topic]"
+"I tried [thing] for [time period]. Here's what happened:"
+"Stop doing X. Do this instead:"
+"POV: [relatable situation]"
+```
+
+**Rule:** Hook in the first 2 seconds. No intros. Cut everything before the point.
+
+### Content Repurposing Map
+
+```
+Long blog post → LinkedIn carousel → Twitter thread → Short-form video script
+Podcast episode → Audiogram clips → Key quotes as posts → Thread of insights
+Customer case study → LinkedIn story post → Email newsletter → Social proof tweet
+```

+| Platform       | Use When                                   | Strengths                       |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
+| Google Search  | High-intent, people searching for solution | Captures existing demand        |
+| Google Display | Retargeting, brand awareness               | Scale, visual, low CPM          |
+| Meta (FB/IG)   | Demand generation, B2C, visual products    | Best targeting, creative-driven |
+| LinkedIn       | B2B, title/company targeting essential     | Decision-maker access           |
+| Twitter/X      | Tech audience, thought leadership          | Cheaper CPM, engaged niche      |
+| TikTok         | 18-34 demographic, video-first             | Viral potential, low CPM        |
+
+### Campaign Structure
+
+```
+Account

+        ├── Ad 1 (Variant A)
+        ├── Ad 2 (Variant B)
+        └── Ad 3 (Variant C)
+```
+
+### Budget Allocation (Starting)
+
+- 70% to proven audience/creative
+- 20% to testing new audiences
+- 10% to experimenting with new formats
+
+### Key Metrics by Stage
+
+| Metric          | Benchmark     | Action if Below                |
+| --------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| CTR (Search)    | > 3%          | Improve headline/ad copy       |
+| CTR (Display)   | > 0.3%        | Improve creative/targeting     |
+| Quality Score   | > 7/10        | Improve landing page relevance |
+| Conversion Rate | > 3%          | Fix landing page               |
+| ROAS            | > 3x (varies) | Pause underperformers          |
+| CPA             | < LTV × 0.3   | Optimize or pause              |
+
+### Meta Ads Framework
+
+**Audience layers:**
+
+1. Warm: retargeting website visitors, email list lookalikes, customer lookalikes
+2. Interest-based: relevant categories + behaviors
+3. Broad: let algorithm find (works at scale with enough conversion data)
+
+**Creative principles:**
+
+- Stop the scroll in 3 seconds
+- First frame = hook (text overlay or visual pattern interrupt)
+- Mobile-first: 9:16 aspect ratio, thumb-safe zones
+- Test: UGC/raw > polished for most products
+- Iterate creative 3x faster than you think necessary
+
+### Google Ads Structure
+
+**Search campaign must-haves:**
+
+- Exact match + phrase match (not broad match until data-rich)
+- Negative keyword list (minimum 50 before launch)
+- Ad extensions: sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets
+- Responsive search ads: 15 headlines, 4 descriptions → Google optimizes
+
+---
+
+## § A/B TESTING
+
+### Hypothesis Structure
+
+```
+Because [observation/data],
+we believe [change]
+will cause [expected outcome]
+for [audience segment].
+We'll know this is true when [primary metric] changes by [amount]
+with [statistical confidence level].
+```
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. One variable per test — otherwise you can't attribute causation
+2. Pre-determine sample size — don't stop early based on early trends
+3. Run to statistical significance — minimum 95% confidence (p < 0.05)
+4. Measure primary metric + guardrail metrics (prevent winning the battle, losing the war)
+
+### Sample Size Calculator Logic
+
+```
+Baseline conversion rate: X%
+Minimum detectable effect: 20% relative lift (e.g., 5% → 6%)
+Statistical power: 80%
+Significance: 95%
+→ Run through a calculator (e.g., Evan Miller's)
+→ Don't stop test until that N is reached per variant
+```
+
+### Prioritization: ICE Score
+
+| Factor     | Question                            | Score (1-10) |
+| ---------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------ |
+| Impact     | How much will this move the needle? |              |
+| Confidence | How sure are we it will work?       |              |
+| Ease       | How easy is this to implement?      |              |
+
+**ICE = (Impact + Confidence + Ease) / 3**
+
+### What to Test (by impact)
+
+1. Headlines and value proposition (highest impact)
+2. CTA copy and placement
+3. Social proof placement and type
+4. Pricing structure and presentation
+5. Form length and field order
+6. Images and hero visual
+7. Color of CTA buttons (lowest impact — rarely moves the needle)
+
+### Common Testing Mistakes
+
+- Stopping tests early (peeking and calling winners too soon)
+- Testing too many things at once
+- Testing button color before testing headline
+- Declaring a winner without business impact validation
+- Ignoring segmentation (a test that wins overall may lose for your best customers)

+
+## § LAUNCH STRATEGY
+
+### The ORB Framework
+
+**Owned channels** (email list, blog, podcast, community) — build these first.
+They compound. No algorithm controls them.
+
+**Rented channels** (social media, app stores, marketplaces) — use to drive to owned.
+Pick 1-2 where your audience is active. Don't rely on them alone.
+
+**Borrowed channels** (press, influencers, partnerships, Product Hunt) — use for spikes.
+They're one-time. Always redirect to owned.
+
+### Launch Phases
+
+**T-4 weeks: Pre-launch**
+
+- Waitlist or early access page live
+- Teaser content on owned + rented channels
+- Line up launch partners, press, influencers
+- Prep all assets (screenshots, demo video, copy)
+- Prime your email list with preview content
+
+**T-1 week: Build anticipation**
+
+- "Coming soon" social content with countdown
+- Embargo press outreach
+- DM engaged community members for day-1 support
+- Final asset review
+
+**Launch day**
+
+- Email blast to full list (personalized if possible)
+- Social posts across all platforms
+- Product Hunt launch (if relevant)
+- Respond to EVERY comment for first 4-6 hours
+- Team-wide amplification (ask employees, investors to share)
+
+**T+1 week: Momentum**
+
+- Follow-up email with results/"we launched!"
+- Press coverage amplification
+- Collect early testimonials
+- Identify early power users for case studies
+
+### Product Hunt Launch Checklist
+
+- [ ] Hunter with large following (or self-hunt)
+- [ ] All assets ready: tagline, description, gallery, first comment
+- [ ] Launch on Tuesday-Thursday for best competition
+- [ ] First comment from maker with story
+- [ ] Upvote notification sent to warm contacts at 12:01am PST
+- [ ] Engage with every comment all day
+- [ ] Don't ask for upvotes directly (against rules)
+
+### Launch Email Template
+
+```
+Subject: [Product] is live — here's what we built
+
+[Name],
+
+Today we launched [Product].
+
+[One sentence: what it does and who it's for]
+
+[The problem it solves — 2-3 sentences in customer language]
+
+[The solution — benefits-focused, specific]
+
+[Social proof or early result if available]
+
+[CTA: Try it free / See it in action / Read the full story]
+
+[Personal sign-off]
+
+P.S. [Urgency element or secondary CTA]
+```

+
+## § PRICING
+
+### The Three Axes
+
+1. **Packaging** — What's included at each tier
+2. **Pricing Metric** — What you charge for (per user, per usage, flat fee)
+3. **Price Point** — The actual dollar amounts
+
+### Pricing Models
+
+| Model         | Best For                             | Example           |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------ | ----------------- |
+| Per seat/user | Collaboration tools, growing teams   | Slack, Notion     |
+| Usage-based   | APIs, infrastructure, variable value | Twilio, AWS       |
+| Flat fee      | Simple products, predictable value   | Basecamp          |
+| Freemium      | High volume, PLG, viral              | Dropbox, Calendly |
+| Feature tiers | Upsell path, market segmentation     | Most SaaS         |
+| Outcome-based | High-value, measurable ROI           | Revenue share     |
+
+### Good/Better/Best Tier Design
+
+```
+STARTER (anchor low, high conversion)
+- Core value only
+- Self-serve, no support
+- Price: makes you feel good to upgrade
+
+PRO (primary revenue driver)
+- Full core product
+- Highlighted as "Most Popular"
+- Price: reflects primary value metric
+
+ENTERPRISE (anchor high, perceived legitimacy)
+- All features + admin, security, compliance
+- Custom pricing / contact sales
+- Price: makes Pro feel reasonable
+```
+
+### Van Westendorp Pricing Sensitivity Questions
+
+1. At what price would this be too expensive?
+2. At what price would this be getting expensive but still worth it?
+3. At what price would this seem cheap (a bargain)?
+4. At what price would this be too cheap (suspicious quality)?
+
+**Acceptable price range** = Between "too cheap" and "too expensive."
+
+### Pricing Psychology
+
+- Charm pricing: $97 instead of $100 (effective for B2C)
+- Anchoring: Show highest tier first
+- Decoy effect: Middle tier makes top tier look reasonable
+- Annual discount: 20% savings drives LTV, reduces churn
+- Remove "$" symbol: Reduces pain of payment (test this)
+
+---
+
+## § REFERRALS & AFFILIATES
+
+### Referral Program Design
+
+**What makes referrals work:**
+
+1. Product worth talking about (referrals amplify, don't create)
+2. Frictionless sharing (one click, pre-written message)
+3. Right incentive for the right audience
+4. Incentive for BOTH referrer and referee (double-sided)
+5. Visible progress (referral dashboard)
+
+**Incentive types:**
+
+- Cash/credit: High motivation, works for almost all products
+- Feature unlock: Works well for power users
+- Upgrade: Month free, higher tier
+- Swag: Works for community-driven brands
+
+**Referral program flow:**
+
+```
+User triggered → Share page shown → Unique link generated →
+Referred friend signs up → Both get reward → Email confirmation
+```
+
+### Affiliate Program Structure
+
+- Commission: 20-40% recurring for SaaS (lifetime or 12-month)
+- Commission: 5-15% one-time for e-commerce
+- Cookie window: 30-90 days
+- Minimum payout threshold: $50-$100
+- Tools: PartnerStack, Rewardful, FirstPromoter
+
+### Word-of-Mouth Activation
+
+- Build "wow moments" into product early (before ask for referral)
+- Ask at peak satisfaction (right after positive outcome)
+- Make the default message they share pre-written and good
+- Testimonial request → referral ask (natural sequence)
+
+---
+
+## § CHURN PREVENTION
+
+### Churn Types (treat separately)
+
+- **Voluntary churn**: Cancelled (fixable with product + save flows)
+- **Involuntary churn**: Failed payment (fixable with dunning)
+- **Passive churn**: Stopped using but didn't cancel (fixable with activation)
+
+### Early Warning Signals
+
+- Login frequency dropping
+- Feature usage declining
+- Support tickets about core features
+- NPS drop
+- Plan downgrade request
+
+### Cancellation Flow Design (Don't make it easy to leave)
+
+```
+Cancel click →
+→ "Before you go" screen (reason survey: required)
+→ Pause option (often chosen over cancel)
+→ Save offer (downgrade, free month, feature unlock)
+→ Exit survey (if they still cancel)
+→ Cancelled confirmation + re-engagement planted
+```
+
+**Save offer by cancellation reason:**
+| Reason | Save Offer |
+|---|---|
+| Too expensive | Downgrade tier or 2-month discount |
+| Not using it | Usage coaching call or feature unlock |
+| Missing feature | Roadmap preview + extended trial |
+| Switching to competitor | Direct comparison + migration help |
+| Business closed | Pause instead of cancel |
+
+### Dunning (Failed Payment Recovery)
+
+```
+Day 0 (failed): Immediate email — "Payment issue, update card"
+Day 3: Reminder with clear CTA
+Day 7: Urgency — "Account pausing in 3 days"
+Day 10: Final warning — "Account pausing tomorrow"
+Day 14: Paused — "Reactivate with one click"
+Day 30: Win-back email — offer if they return
+```
+
+---
+
+## § SALES ENABLEMENT
+
+### Core Collateral Types
+
+1. Sales deck / pitch deck
+2. One-pager (leave-behind)
+3. Objection handling guide
+4. Demo script
+5. ROI calculator
+6. Battle cards (vs competitors)
+7. Case studies
+
+### Sales Deck Structure (10-12 slides)
+
+```
+1. Title slide (company + tagline)
+2. Problem (the pain — make them feel it)
+3. Current solutions fall short (why existing options fail)
+4. Our solution (the bridge)
+5. How it works (3 steps max)
+6. Key features/capabilities
+7. Proof (customer results with numbers)
+8. Case study (before/after with metrics)
+9. Pricing overview
+10. Why now (urgency/market timing)
+11. The ask (next step)
+12. Appendix (optional: team, tech specs, security)
+```
+
+**Slides must be scannable.** If reps can't find the answer mid-call in 3 seconds, it's failed.
+
+### Objection Handling Guide Structure
+
+```
+OBJECTION: "It's too expensive"
+ROOT CAUSE: Usually value not clear, not budget
+RESPONSE: "Compared to what? Let me show you what customers typically save/earn..."
+PROOF: [Customer result that shows ROI]
+FOLLOW-UP: [ROI calculation or case study]
+```
+
+Top objections to always have handled:
+
+- Too expensive / No budget
+- We're happy with [competitor]
+- Not a priority right now
+- Need to check with [other stakeholder]
+- We'd build this ourselves

+
+### Lead Lifecycle Stages
+
+| Stage       | Owner       | Entry Criteria             | SLA                  |
+| ----------- | ----------- | -------------------------- | -------------------- |
+| Subscriber  | Marketing   | Opted in                   | N/A                  |
+| Lead        | Marketing   | Basic info captured        | N/A                  |
+| MQL         | Marketing   | Fit + engagement threshold | Hand to sales 24h    |

+| Customer    | CS          | Closed-won                 | Onboarding immediate |
+
+### MQL Scoring Model (fit + engagement)
+
+**Fit (firmographic):**
+
+- Target industry: +15
+- Target company size: +10
+- Decision-maker title: +15
+- In ICP geography: +5
+
+**Engagement (behavioral):**
+
+- Pricing page visit: +20
+- Demo request: +40
+- Free trial started: +35
+- Webinar attended: +10
+- 3+ content pieces: +10
+- Email click: +5
+
+**Threshold:** Typically 50-75 points = MQL (calibrate based on your funnel)
+
+### CRM Data Hygiene Rules
+
+- Mandatory fields: Company, Title, Email, Source, MQL Date
+- Auto-enrich on create (Clearbit, Clay, Apollo)
+- Dedupe rule: same email = same contact
+- Weekly audit: stale opportunities, missing data
+- No manual data entry where automation exists
+
+---
+
+## § ONBOARDING
+
+Onboarding = time between signup and first value realization ("aha moment").
+
+### Aha Moment Definition
+
+What is the ONE action that, once completed, predicts long-term retention?
+Find it in your data. Optimize everything to get users there faster.
+
+### Onboarding Framework
+
+```
+ACTIVATION MILESTONE MAP:
+Step 1: Account created ✓
+Step 2: [Setup action] ✓ ← Most drop here
+Step 3: [Core feature used] ✓ ← Aha moment
+Step 4: [Second session] ✓ ← Habit formed
+Step 5: [Integration/team member added] ✓ ← Sticky
+```
+
+### Onboarding Email Sequence (in-app + email)
+
+```
+Day 0: Welcome — confirm signup, set expectations, one clear next step
+Day 1: "Did you do [Step 2]?" — if not, this email
+Day 3: Tip that unlocks aha moment
+Day 5: Social proof — how similar customers use it
+Day 7: Feature they haven't tried (with use case)
+Day 14: Check-in — are they getting value?
+Day 21: Upgrade nudge (if on trial)
+```
+
+### Empty State Design
+
+Empty states are the #1 onboarding failure point.
+
+- Show what the product looks like with data
+- Give clear "first action" instructions
+- Reduce blank page anxiety
+
+---
+
+## § MARKETING IDEAS (139 strategies)
+
+Quick reference by stage and budget:
+

+- API + developer ecosystem
+
+---
+
+## § MARKETING PSYCHOLOGY
+
+### Foundational Mental Models
+
+**Jobs to Be Done** — People hire products for outcomes, not features.
+Frame marketing around the job ("a hole, not a drill").
+
+**First Principles** — Break down to basics. Don't copy competitors. Ask "why" 5 times.
+
+**Theory of Constraints** — One bottleneck limits the whole system.
+Fix traffic before CRO if traffic is the constraint.
+
+**Pareto Principle (80/20)** — 20% of channels/customers/content drive 80% of results.
+Identify and double down. Cut the rest.
+
+**Inversion** — "What would guarantee failure?" Avoid those things.
+
+### Psychological Triggers (ethical application only)
+
+| Trigger           | Application                                         |
+| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Social proof**  | Testimonials, user counts, logos, reviews           |
+| **Scarcity**      | Limited seats, time-limited offers (real only)      |
+| **Urgency**       | Deadlines, countdowns (real only)                   |
+| **Authority**     | Credentials, press mentions, expert endorsements    |
+| **Reciprocity**   | Free value before ask (content, tools, audits)      |
+| **Loss aversion** | Frame as what they lose by not acting               |
+| **Anchoring**     | Show high price first, then lower                   |
+| **Commitment**    | Small yes leads to bigger yes                       |
+| **Liking**        | People buy from people they like — show personality |
+| **Familiarity**   | Repeated exposure increases preference              |
+
+### Framing Techniques
+
+- **Gain frame**: "Earn $500/month" (works for positive, certain outcomes)
+- **Loss frame**: "Stop losing $500/month" (works for losses, more motivating)
+- **Reframing cost**: "$33/month = 1 hour of your time"
+- **Before/After**: Show the transformation explicitly
+
+---
+
+## § CONTENT STRATEGY
+
+### Searchable vs Shareable
+
+**Searchable** = captures existing demand. Optimized for people searching for answers.
+**Shareable** = creates demand. Spreads ideas. Gets people talking.
+
+Prioritize searchable. Search traffic compounds.
+
+### Topic Cluster Model
+
+```
+Pillar page: [Broad topic] — "Complete Guide to [X]"
+├── Cluster: [Subtopic 1] — "How to [specific action]"
+├── Cluster: [Subtopic 2] — "What is [specific concept]"
+├── Cluster: [Subtopic 3] — "[Comparison]"
+└── Cluster: [Subtopic 4] — "[Use case]"
+```
+
+All cluster pages link to pillar. Pillar links to all clusters.
+This signals topical authority to Google.
+
+### Content Calendar Structure
+
+```
+Week 1: Pillar/long-form (2000+ words)
+Week 2: Subtopic cluster (800-1500 words)
+Week 3: Customer story / case study
+Week 4: Tool / template / checklist
+Ongoing: Social repurposing of all the above
+```
+
+### Content Quality Standards
+
+- Answers search intent completely (check: does top-ranking content leave gaps?)
+- Original data, research, or perspective (not a content remix)
+- Updated when information changes
+- Internal links to relevant pages
+- External links to authoritative sources
+- Optimized images with alt text
+- Clear CTA aligned with content intent
+

+
+### Research Modes
+
+**Mode 1:** Analyze existing assets (transcripts, surveys, reviews, support tickets)
+**Mode 2:** Go find research online (Reddit, G2, reviews, communities)
+
+### Online Research Sources (for any product category)
+
+| Source                                 | What to mine                                      |
+| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| Reddit (r/[industry])                  | Raw language, complaints, desires, humor          |
+| G2 / Capterra reviews                  | Pros, cons, specific use cases, switching reasons |
+| App Store reviews                      | Pain points, feature requests, love/hate moments  |
+| Quora / Stack Overflow                 | Questions = unmet needs                           |
+| Twitter/X search                       | Complaints, comparisons, recommendations          |
+| Amazon reviews (for adjacent products) | Jobs-to-be-done language                          |
+| Facebook Groups                        | Community discussions, recurring questions        |
+| Support ticket themes                  | Confusion patterns, expectation gaps              |
+
+### Extraction Framework (for any research asset)
+
+Extract:
+
+1. **Pain language** — exact words describing the problem
+2. **Trigger events** — what made them start looking?
+3. **Alternatives considered** — who else were they evaluating?
+4. **Decision criteria** — what tipped the choice?
+5. **Success definition** — what does winning look like to them?
+6. **Objections** — what almost stopped them?
+7. **Unexpected use cases** — how do they actually use it?
+
+### Persona Template
+
+```
+Name: [Archetype name]
+Role: [Title, company type, size]
+Goal: [What they're trying to achieve]
+Frustration: [What's blocking them]
+Trigger: [What makes them start looking for a solution]
+Objection: [What makes them hesitate]
+Success: [What does "solved" look like to them]
+Verbatim: "[Exact quote from real customer]"
+```
+

+
+## § PROGRAMMATIC SEO
+
+Build SEO pages at scale using templates + data.
+
+### When it works
+
+- Large addressable keyword set (1000+ target pages viable)

+
+### Page Templates
+
+**Location pages:** "[Product] for [City/Region]"
+**Integration pages:** "[Product] + [Integration] Integration"
+**Comparison pages:** "[Product] vs [Competitor]"
+**Use case pages:** "[Product] for [Industry/Role]"
+**Template pages:** "[Type] Template for [Use Case]"
+**Glossary pages:** "What is [Term]? Definition and Examples"
+
+### Quality Signals (to avoid thin content penalty)
+
+- Each page has meaningful unique content beyond the template
+- Local/contextual data specific to that page variant
+- Real internal links from and to related pages
+- Proper canonical handling
+- Noindex thin variants until content added
+

+
+## § VIDEO MARKETING
+
+### Production Approach Selection
+
+| Approach            | Tools                        | Best For                         |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| Programmatic        | Remotion, Hyperframes        | Templated, data-driven, scalable |

+| Editing/Repurposing | Descript, Opus Clip, CapCut  | Long-form → short clips          |
+
+### Video Script Structure (all lengths)
+
+```
+HOOK (0-3 sec): Bold statement, surprising visual, or question
+PROBLEM (3-15 sec): The pain or context
+SOLUTION (15-45 sec): What you're showing and why it matters
+PROOF (45-60 sec): Evidence it works
+CTA (last 5 sec): One action
+```
+
+### Platform Specs
+
+| Platform       | Ratio       | Length               | Notes                   |
+| -------------- | ----------- | -------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| TikTok         | 9:16        | 15-60s (sweet spot)  | Hook in 2s, captions on |
+| Reels          | 9:16        | 15-90s               | Same as TikTok          |
+| YouTube Shorts | 9:16        | Under 60s            | Title in first frame    |
+| YouTube        | 16:9        | 8-15 min (tutorials) | First 30s = retention   |
+| LinkedIn       | 1:1 or 16:9 | 30-90s               | Subtitles mandatory     |
+| Twitter/X      | 16:9 or 1:1 | Under 2 min          | No sound by default     |
+
+---
+
+## § ASO (App Store Optimization)
+
+### Ranking Factors
+
+**Textual (high weight):**
+
+- App name: Include primary keyword
+- Subtitle (iOS): Secondary keywords
+- Keywords field (iOS, 100 chars): No spaces, commas separate
+- Short/long description (Android): Keywords in first 167 chars especially
+
+**Non-textual:**
+
+- Ratings and reviews (volume + recency + sentiment)
+- Downloads and velocity
+- Engagement/retention
+- Conversion rate from listing
+
+### Screenshot Best Practices
+
+- First screenshot = most important (shown in search)
+- Headline text overlay on each screenshot
+- Show the value, not just the UI
+- Consistent visual style
+- No text below the fold of the first frame
+
+### Review Strategy
+
+- Ask at peak satisfaction moment (after user achieves key outcome)
+- Never buy reviews (risks removal from store)
+- Respond to negative reviews — shows engagement, improves perception
+- Surface in-app prompt: "Are you enjoying [App]?" → Yes → Rate us prompt
+
+---
+
+## § LEAD MAGNETS
+
+A lead magnet is a high-value resource exchanged for an email address.
+
+### High-Converting Lead Magnet Types

+
+---
+
+## § PAYWALLS & UPGRADE FLOWS
+
+### Upgrade Trigger Moments (when to show the paywall)
+
+- Feature limit hit ("You've used 5/5 free generations")
+- Usage limit ("You've reached your monthly limit")
+- Premium feature click ("This feature requires Pro")
+- Contextual value moment (right after achieving something great)
+
+### Paywall Copy Framework
+
+```
+Headline: [What they unlock, benefit-focused]
+Body: [3-4 key features with icons]
+Social proof: [X teams upgraded this month / testimonial]
+Price: [Monthly and annual, annual highlighted]

+
+---
+
+## § POPUPS & OVERLAYS
+
+### When to Show (trigger strategy)
+
+| Trigger               | Best Use                   |
+| --------------------- | -------------------------- |
+| Exit intent           | Lead capture, abandon cart |
+| Time on page (30-60s) | Engaged visitor capture    |
+| Scroll depth (50-70%) | Contextual content offer   |
+| Specific page visit   | Intent-matched offer       |
+| Second visit          | Return visitor recognition |
+
+**Never show:** On page load immediately. Users haven't seen value yet.
+
+### Popup Copy Formula
+
+```
+Headline: [Specific benefit]
+Body: [One line — what they get + why it matters]
+CTA: [Get [specific thing]]
+Dismiss: [Clear, not guilt-trip language]
+```
+
+### Exit Intent Popup Best Practices
+
+- One specific offer (not "sign up for our newsletter")
+- Value proposition in headline
+- CTA matches offer exactly
+- Dismiss text: "No thanks" (not "I don't want to succeed")
+- A/B test lead vs. discount vs. content offer
+
+---
+
+## § COPY EDITING
+
+### Editing Checklist (run in this order)
+
+**1. Structure (big picture first)**
+
+- [ ] Does the main argument make sense?
+- [ ] Is the flow logical (problem → solution → proof → CTA)?
+- [ ] Does each section earn its place?
+
+**2. Clarity**
+
+- [ ] Would a smart 12-year-old understand this?
+- [ ] Replace jargon with plain language
+- [ ] One idea per sentence, one message per paragraph
+
+**3. Strength**
+
+- [ ] Cut every word that doesn't earn its place
+- [ ] Replace weak words (things, very, really, quite)
+- [ ] Active verbs replace passive constructions
+- [ ] Specifics replace vague claims
+
+**4. Voice**
+
+- [ ] Reads like a human, not a press release?
+- [ ] Contractions where appropriate?
+- [ ] Consistent tone throughout?
+
+**5. Technical**
+
+- [ ] Grammar and punctuation correct?
+- [ ] No orphaned lines or broken sentences?
+- [ ] CTAs match offer?
+- [ ] Claims verifiable? (Remove if not)
+
+### Common Copy Killers (always remove)
+
+- "Innovative" / "Cutting-edge" / "Best-in-class"
+- "Seamlessly" / "Effortlessly" / "Easily"
+- "Leverage" / "Utilize" / "Facilitate"
+- "Solution" (vague — say what it actually does)
+- Exclamation points (!)
+- "We're excited to announce"
+- "In today's fast-paced world"
+
+---
+
+## § COMPETITOR PROFILING & PAGES
+
+### Competitor Profiling Framework
+
+For each competitor, document:
+
+1. **Positioning**: What do they claim to be?
+2. **Target audience**: Who are they going after?
+3. **Key differentiators**: What do they emphasize?
+4. **Pricing**: How do they price vs. you?
+5. **Weaknesses**: What do G2/Capterra reviews say they're bad at?
+6. **Messaging**: What language do they use?
+
+### Competitor Alternative Pages
+
+For SEO: "[Competitor] alternatives" — high commercial intent, buyers in evaluation mode.
+For comparison: "[Your Product] vs [Competitor]" — direct search.
+
+**Page structure:**
+
+```
+H1: Best [Competitor] Alternatives in 2026
+Intro: Why people look for alternatives (their pain with competitor)
+Table: Feature comparison (be objective — they'll lose trust if biased)
+Top pick sections: Why your product for [use case]
+CTA: Start free trial / See pricing
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+
+- Be factually accurate — wrong claims invite legal issues
+- Acknowledge where competitor is stronger (builds trust)
+- Focus on your strengths for your ICP
+- Update regularly (pricing changes, features change)
+
+---
+
+## § SIGNUP FLOW OPTIMIZATION
+
+### Signup Friction Audit
+
+**Reduce fields:** Only collect what you need in the moment.
+Email only → Company name, role → Billing info
+Not all at once.
+
+**Social sign-in:** Google/GitHub OAuth removes password friction for many products.
+
+**Progress indicators:** Multi-step signups need clear progress (Step 1 of 3).
+
+**Error handling:** Inline validation, specific error messages ("This email is already registered
+— [Sign in instead]").
+
+**Trust elements near submit button:**
+
+- "No credit card required"
+- "Cancel anytime"
+- "Free for 14 days"
+- SOC2/security badge for B2B
+
+### Post-Signup Redirect Strategy
+
+Don't redirect to dashboard. Redirect to:
+
+- Aha moment setup (complete the first value action)
+- Onboarding wizard (guided first step)
+- Welcome screen with one clear CTA
+
+---
+
+## § IMAGE MARKETING
+
+### AI Image Tools for Marketing
+
+| Tool             | Best For                                            |
+| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |

+### Image Optimization Rules
+
+- WebP format (30-50% smaller than JPEG, same quality)
+- Compress before upload (TinyPNG, Squoosh)
+- Descriptive alt text (for SEO and accessibility)
+- Correct dimensions for placement (don't serve 2000px for a 400px slot)
+- Lazy load below-fold images
+
+### Social Image Sizing (2026 standards)
+
+```
+LinkedIn post: 1200 × 627px
+LinkedIn story: 1080 × 1920px
+Instagram post: 1080 × 1080px (square) or 1080 × 1350px (portrait)
+Twitter/X: 1600 × 900px
+Facebook: 1200 × 630px
+TikTok thumbnail: 1080 × 1920px
+```
+
+---
+
+## § AD CREATIVE
+
+### Creative Testing Framework
+
+- Test 3-5 hooks per creative batch
+- Separate hook testing from body/CTA testing
+- Kill underperformers after 500 impressions (paid social) or statistical significance
+- Winner informs next round of creative
+
+### Ad Hook Types (first 2-3 seconds)
+
+- Problem statement: "Struggling with X?"
+- Testimonial open: "This changed how I do X"
+- Result: "We 3x'd Y in 30 days"
+- Pattern interrupt: Unexpected visual or statement
+- Direct address: "If you're a [ICP], watch this"
+
+### Creative Fatigue Signals
+
+- CTR dropping more than 30% from baseline
+- CPA rising while other signals stable
+- Frequency > 5-7 on Meta (creative saturated)
+
+Response: Don't change landing page — change creative first.
+
+---
+
