When to use this

Your pricing page is live, conversion from that page is flat or you suspect people bounce there, and you want a systematic check against the objections buyers actually raise on sales calls or in lost-deal notes — not a generic "make the copy punchier" pass.

The pattern

Pastes as plain text
Step 1: Below the "Pricing page copy:" label at the end of this block, paste your current pricing page copy in full — headline, tier names and prices, feature bullets, any FAQ section.

Step 2: Below the "Real objections:" label, paste 3-5 real objections you've actually heard, verbatim, from sales calls, support tickets, or lost-deal notes ("too expensive compared to what we use now", "not sure my team will use all these seats", "what happens if we go over usage"). Don't let the agent invent these.

Step 3: Build this table, one row per objection:
- Objection
- Answered on the page? (Yes / Partially / No)
- If Yes or Partially: quote the exact existing line that addresses it
- If Partially or No: draft the exact replacement or added copy that would answer it, written in the buyer's language, matching the existing page's tone

Step 4: End with one final line: which single unanswered objection is most likely costing the most conversions, ranked by how often it comes up, and why.

Rules: do not invent objections beyond what I gave you. Do not rewrite sections that already answer their objection. Keep suggested copy the same length or shorter than what it replaces.

Pricing page copy:

Real objections:

Real example output

| Objection | Answered? | Existing line | Suggested fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Too expensive vs Competitor X" | No | (nothing on page addresses pricing comparison) | Add under the Growth tier: "Most teams switching from Competitor X cut their bill by 30% at the same seat count — no migration fee." |
| "Not sure my team will use all these seats" | Partially | "Unlimited seats on Growth" | Replace with: "Add teammates as you need them — you're only billed for seats active in the last 30 days, so idle accounts don't cost you." |
| "What happens if we go over usage" | No | (usage caps listed with no overage policy) | Add a line directly under the usage limit: "Going over your limit doesn't cut you off — we email you first and you choose to upgrade or stay capped." |

Ranking: the usage-overage objection is costing the most conversions. It came up in 6 of the last 10 lost-deal notes, more than the other two combined, and right now the page gives buyers nothing to reduce that fear before they talk to sales.

Why it works

Grounding the audit in objections you actually heard, not ones the model guesses at, keeps the output tied to real lost deals instead of hypothetical copy problems. Requiring the exact existing line before suggesting a fix stops the agent from rewriting sections that already work.
