Marketing Evaluator
Your Conversion Equation Evaluator
Interrupt: Headlines & Voice Over Or Intro (For Radio/tv)
No headline at all
Company name or play on words; does nothing to compel reader/listener to continue
Headline exists; poor or crass HOT BUTTON; False Uptime Alert!
Hot Buttons Activated; not articulated well, but says in basic terms what needs to be said
Good headline, penetrates reader's internal conversation; work on clarity and precision
Powerhouse! Headline is powerfully worded and hits HOT BUTTONS passionately
Engage: Promise To Educate & Facilitate Decision
If Headline score is 0, 1, or 2...then automatic score of 0 here
Nothing to make reader want to listen...no sub-headlines; no add'l info at all, incoherent
Contains sub-headlines that are NOT connected to internal conversation...reader clicks back!
Reader can tell from scanning ad that there may be decision-facilitating info ahead
Use of Hot-Button-based sub-headlines gives reader promise of useful info in the ad
Reader eagerly engaged! Quick scans reveals congruence with other sub-headlines & offer
Educate: Building Your Case
No case building info; crass, cute, sex-based or abstract ideas or image/institutional creativity
Some features menu listed; not quantified, nothing compelling; perhaps wrong or incoherent points
Case points begun, but not developed; poorly quantified/quantified
Case points listed with some qualification/quantification; educates on a basic level
Builds a good case and anticipation; educates thoroughly, but could be more powerful & articulate
Executes solid, well-rounded case; a Judge/Jury would be proudly say, "I would have to be an idiot..."
Offer: risk reversal / ethical bribe
No offer at all (if there's an offer, but no landing page or capture box give "0')
Contact info present; nothing specifically mentioned as an offer
Tells prospect to call for more info or to speak with a representative; no capture box; no landing page
Offer easily detectable; no incentives; could be much more motivating; poor capture/landing page
Good offer, captures prospect action—doesn't capture widest possible audience; opt-in needs help
Excellent, obvious choice for NOW/FUTURE buyer; Irresistible & Compelling Offer, Opt-in & Nurture pieces
Powerful, Passionate, Precise & Elegant Format
A total mess; try again
Does not flow, no logical reason for any placements; haphazardly done; not professional
Basic structure is in place; lacks power; unclear; spacing, thought flow is fuzzy or blah
Structurally sound, flows reasonably well, some parts are still done poorly; seduction focused
Proper use of type fonts & sizes; spacing well done; photos/graphics congruent & compelling, etc.
Reader can quickly scan and understand main points; knows exactly what action to take
Your Marketing Conversion Level = _______

1
Does not interrupt (or False-Uptime); does not engage, gets no results (what most people write)
2
Basic ad structure is there; can't be fixed with "red-line"
3
Good ad that interrupts and engages; lacks power in building the case and an appealing call to action
4
Engages prospect and builds case well; offer needs strengthened; needs help with wordsmithing
5
Clear, passionate, precise & powerful Ad! Nails internal conversation. Irresistible and obvious choice!
