You have to have a very specific target audience in mind for
your startup. Is your startup a B2C or a B2B? The copy your write
and the language you'll leverage in that copy has to be aligned to
that audience's interests, needs, and problems. You may think you
already know this, but can you answer:
- who the people are, you know how to get to them (the
blogs they read, the sites they visit, the stuff they search in
Google etc)
- how they describe the type of services they offer,
you can word the copy on your site to match the conversation in
their head (very important!)
- how they choose and compare products in your
category, you know how to structure and prioritize content on your
site
- what they want, your value proposition can state
exactly that and the whole site can be 98% relevant to
them
- what they don't care about, you can dismiss and cut
it from the site
- how their life is better thanks to your service, you
know which end-benefits to communicate
- Use the attached PDF to answer the customer profile
questions included. The better you can understand who they are, how
they behave and how they interact with your product of service, the
more effectively you'll be able to target them with your copy and
drive the point home in one clear shot.
