# Product Descriptions That Sell Benefits, Not Adjectives

AK Areeba Khan, Automation Architect · July 4, 2026 · 4 min read

'Premium quality' sells nothing. The feature-to-benefit translation framework that turns spec sheets into persuasion.

Nobody's heart rate rises for 'high-quality materials.' It rises for 'the bag you grab at 6am without checking, because it's never let you down.' Descriptions convert when every feature arrives pre-translated into a life improvement: spec, then so-what, then proof — repeated until the cart button feels like common sense.

## Structure carries persuasion

Great copy fails in bad scaffolding constantly: the proof buried under brand poetry, the ask three screens too late, the objection handled after the reader left. Persuasion is sequence engineering.

Our working order for almost any page: who this is for, what changes, prove it, de-risk it, invite it. Deviations are allowed — with a reason better than 'the designer liked it centered.'

Readers forgive long pages. They never forgive lost threads.

## Copy habits that quietly cost sales

1. Adjectives where numbers belong
2. Welcoming visitors to websites like it's 2004
3. Burying price logic until after the pitch
4. Speaking about 'solutions' without naming the problem
5. CTAs that describe the button instead of the outcome

## Editing is where the money is

Nobody's first draft is worth publishing; the pros just say so out loud. Drafts exist to find what the piece wants to be — editing exists to make it behave.

Our passes: structure first (does the argument survive shuffling?), then evidence (is each claim load-bearing?), then rhythm (read it aloud and cringe), surface last. Grammar is the floor, not the ceiling.

Twenty percent shorter with nothing lost is the fastest quality upgrade in this industry.

## Voice survives format changes

A brand that sounds human in the blog and like a legal fax in email isn't building a voice; it's running coincidence. Consistency is a writing system, not an accident of the same intern.

We document voice as behavior: words we use, words we ban, sentence lengths, how we open, how we close a sell. Then every format — page drive, ad, invoice, error message — gets the same spine.

## Distribution is half the page

The post that took six days to write deserves more than a birth announcement on a company page with 300 followers. Content unpublished in multiple shapes is budget left on the table.

The cascade: pillar piece to thread, to carousel, to talk track, to newsletter lead, to sales attachment — each re-authored, scheduled weeks apart, pointed at the pillar for depth.

Write once, publish twelve times. Otherwise the algorithm simply never meets your best thinking.

## Where to start this week

Take your top SKU and rewrite every bullet as 'feature → so you can → and here's the proof.' Delete any bullet where the so-you-can is obvious from the photo.

Then keep it honest with a short list:

- Cold-reader test: what do we sell, to whom, why us — in three answers
- Every claim has evidence a competitor couldn't copy
- Headline promise matches the page's actual highest-value delivery
- Put the date on the calendar — playbooks without Fridays are just reading

And when the scope outgrows the spreadsheet, that's precisely what our team is for.

## Straight answers

### Do you use AI for content?

Honestly: for research synthesis, outline variations and edit passes — never as the origin of expertise. Pieces ship with firsthand interviews, data or experience baked in, because that's the only durable ranking and conversion strategy left.

### Can you match our existing voice?

Yes — we codify it first into reusable rules (so it's a system, not a vibe in one writer's head), then write to it. Existing customers should never sense the baton pass.

### Do you write for SEO or for people?

That dichotomy died years ago. Search engines reward what satisfies readers: complete answers, structure, evidence. We write for the person and format for the crawler — same document, both audiences served.
