Headlines and CTAs That Promise Relief
Outcome-first headlines
Lead with the result, not the feature: “Restore account access in two steps” beats “Account recovery overview.” Test clarity before cleverness. Drop your current top three support headlines below and we will suggest outcome-first rewrites.
Risk-reducing CTAs
Good CTAs clarify the next step and minimize uncertainty: “Run Safe Diagnostic (takes 2 minutes)” outperforms “Start.” Add time estimates and reversibility. Share your toughest CTA, and we will propose copy that lowers perceived effort.
Reassuring empty and confirmation states
Empty states guide users forward; confirmations anchor confidence. Replace “No results” with “Try these filters.” Replace “Done” with “Settings saved. Changes apply in 10 minutes.” Tell us your most visited empty state, and we will craft a helpful version.
Actionable step language
Start steps with verbs, one action at a time: “Select Settings > Network > Reset,” not “You may want to reset your network.” Cap steps at seven, then split. Post a tricky step list, and we will rewrite it with crisp, testable actions.
Blame-free error messages
Errors should point to causes without shaming: “We could not connect to the server. Check Wi‑Fi or try again in 2 minutes.” Offer next steps and context. Share an error that angers users, and we will suggest a calmer, actionable rewrite.
Wayfinding and progressive disclosure
Show where the user is and what comes next. Reveal advanced steps only when needed. Include a visible escape hatch. Comment if your flow loses users mid-journey, and we will propose wayfinding copy that keeps momentum.
Knowledge Base That Prevents Tickets
Open with “You will fix…” then list quick checks, step-by-step resolution, and prevention tips. End with escalation criteria. Drop a link to an article you want reworked, and we will share an improved outline you can pilot.
Knowledge Base That Prevents Tickets
Mirror user language. If they search “printer offline,” include those exact words, plus variants like “cannot find printer.” Add keyword-rich H2s. Share your top three search terms, and we will propose intent-matched titles that capture traffic.
Chat and bot scripts with guardrails
Give bots a friendly, concise voice and clear escalation paths. Use confirmation questions to avoid loops. Offer “Try another fix” or “Talk to a human.” Share your bot’s toughest handoff moment, and we will craft the bridging microcopy.
Email support that respects time
Subject lines should promise value: “Fix inside: steps to restore syncing.” Lead with the resolution, then context. Use bullet points for actions. Paste an email opener you use, and we will rewrite it for clarity and faster replies.
Voice prompts that reduce friction
Use IVR language that sets expectations and shortens paths: “Say ‘billing’ or ‘technical help’ to skip the menu.” Offer callback options. Tell us one annoying prompt you have, and we will propose a friendlier, faster alternative.
Trust, Transparency, and Metrics in Support Copy
Explain data use plainly: “We use logs to diagnose crashes. We store them for seven days.” Link to details without pressure. Share a sensitive notice you must show, and we will help simplify it without losing legal accuracy.
Trust, Transparency, and Metrics in Support Copy
Use the what, impact, action, and next update format: “Sync delays affect Europe. No data loss. Next update at 14:30 UTC.” Post your latest status wording, and we will refine it for calm clarity and dependable cadence.
Localization, Accessibility, and Inclusivity
Avoid idioms that break in translation. Provide context notes for product terms. Let local teams adapt examples. Share a phrase that never translates cleanly, and we will offer a neutral, outcome-focused alternative that scales.
