How we
sound
We write the way the smartest person in the room talks — direct, confident, a little irreverent, and always backed by a number. This is how to make anything sound like Intent Pop.
Confident
operator,
no fluff.
We sound like an expert who's done the work — sharp, plain, and proof-led. We have a point of view and the receipts to back it.
Smart, not smug
We know the new playbook. We share it plainly — we never talk down.
Punchy, not loud
Short sentences and strong verbs do the work. No exclamation marks required.
Warm, not corporate
Human and a little irreverent. We'd rather be memorable than "professional."
How we
write
Four rules behind every sentence. Each one comes with the test we apply.
Say it straight.
Short sentences. Active voice. One idea per line. If a 12-year-old couldn't follow it, cut it down. The test: read it aloud — if you run out of breath, it's two sentences.
We endeavour to facilitate meaningful improvements across your conversion ecosystem.
We find what's losing you sales and fix it.
Lead with the answer.
Give the point first, the build-up second. It's how humans skim and how answer engines quote. The test: could the first sentence stand alone as the whole reply?
After auditing dozens of funnels and considering many factors, we've concluded that message-match matters.
Message-match is the highest-leverage fix on most landing pages. Here's why.
Back it with evidence.
Numbers, not adjectives. Every claim earns its place with proof — a result, a stat, a source. The test: if you can't attach a number or a source, soften the claim or kill it.
We dramatically boost conversion rates for our clients.
We lifted demo bookings 31% in 90 days by rewriting one pricing page.
Have a point of view.
Name the old way. Take a side. Confidence reads as expertise — but never tip into arrogance or hype. The test: would a competitor be slightly annoyed we said it? Good.
There are many valid approaches to optimisation, and it depends on your goals.
Page-level A/B testing alone is a 2015 strategy. The decision now happens before the click.
We are /
we're not
When in doubt, lean left. Never drift right.
Same voice,
different dial
The voice never changes. The tone flexes with the moment — and the stakes.
Calibrated,
not vibes
Where the voice sits by default, 0–10. For a given surface, nudge one or two dials — never reset them all.
Reading the dials: a results report pushes Technicality and Authority up, Humour to zero. A social post pushes Punch (Confidence) and Enthusiasm up. Onboarding lifts Warmth. The shape stays recognisably Intent Pop — confident and proof-led — in every case.
We convince
with proof
We practise the conversion craft we sell — so we persuade the way we'd want a vendor to persuade us. Evidence, not pressure.
Proof, not adjectives
Lead with a real result, a named test, or a source. The number does the persuading; we just point at it.
Answer the objection out loud
Name the doubt before the reader does — "agencies report rankings, not revenue" — then dismantle it with evidence.
CTAs that lower the risk
Specific, low-friction, value-first: "Book a 30-minute intent audit — we'll show you one fix worth more than the call."
✓ We persuade by
- Showing the test, the number, and the source
- Naming the old way and the cost of staying there
- Being specific about what we'd do first
- Making the next step small and obviously worth it
✗ We never persuade by
- Hype, superlatives, or "revolutionary" claims
- Fear, FOMO, or fake scarcity / countdown timers
- Vanity metrics dressed up as outcomes
- Jargon used to sound smart, not to be clear
Shift the
emphasis,
keep the voice
Same words-we-love, same mechanics. What changes is which proof leads and which fear we answer.
One system from answer to revenue — a number they can defend to the board.
Pipeline lift, CAC efficiency, test velocity.
Drown them in channel-level tactics or acronyms.
New surface area: win the answer engine, then convert the visit — and measure both.
AEO playbook, message-match wins, attribution.
Stay abstract — they want the how, not just the why.
Every dollar traced to revenue; evidence-led operators, no retainer theatre.
Revenue outcomes, one report, Fragmatic backing.
Report rankings or impressions as if they're the win.
Words we
live & ban
A shared lexicon keeps every writer on-brand.
✓ Words we love
✗ Words we ban
✓ We say
- "Win before the click."
- "Revenue is the only vanity metric."
- "We tested it — here's what moved."
- "Here's the number, and how we got it."
- "That page finally popped."
✗ We don't say
- "Synergistic full-funnel solutions."
- "We're passionate about growth hacking."
- "Best-in-class, world-leading, cutting-edge."
- "Let's circle back and ideate."
- "Up and to the right!" (with no number)
The small
rules
Consistency is a feature. These are non-negotiable.
31%, $2.4M, 90 days. They scan, and AI quotes them.We practise
what we preach
We help clients get cited by answer engines — so our own words have to be quotable too.
Open with the answer.
Lead each section with a one-sentence claim a machine could lift verbatim. Context follows.
Label clearly.
Descriptive headings and short sections. Make the structure obvious to a skimmer and a crawler alike.
Make claims liftable.
One fact per sentence, with the number inline. Avoid burying stats mid-paragraph.
Attribute everything.
Name the source, the date, the sample. Citable content is trustworthy content.
If a machine can quote it cleanly, a human can trust it faster.
One shape
for every
answer
Page, article, proposal, or reply — the order is the same. It's the structure our Editorial guide is built on, in miniature.
Short formats collapse the middle — a CTA might be just answer + evidence + bridge — but the order never inverts. The answer is always first.
Hand the
voice to
a machine
Paste this into any model before a writing task. It encodes the voice, the rules, and the locked phrases — then leaves a brief to fill in.

RULES
• Answer first. Open every section with a one-sentence point a reader — or an answer engine — could quote verbatim.
• Say it straight. Short sentences, active voice, one idea per line. Average under 18 words.
• Back it with evidence. Numbers, not adjectives. Every claim gets a stat, result, or source — or it's softened or cut.
• Have a point of view. Name the old way; take a side. Confidence, never hype.
• Mechanics: numerals (31%, $2.4M, 90 days), Oxford comma, sentence case, contractions yes, exclamation marks almost never.
• Loved words: intent, pop, capture, convert, compound, revenue, evidence, lift, before the click.
• Banned: synergy, leverage (verb), holistic, world-class, game-changer, seamless, passionate, unlock potential, circle back.
• Locked phrases — use exactly, never paraphrase: “Make intent pop.” · “Intent in. Revenue out.” · “Capture · Convert · Compound” · “Intent Pop” (two words).
TASK BRIEF
