Marketing Psychology Copy Review

Apply psychological triggers to existing copy to reduce friction and increase trust.

A real workflow from the Magister template catalog — the same steps a dedicated agent executes for your brand, shown in full before you run anything.

What you provide

The steps, in full

  1. 1

    Audit existing copy for psychological triggers

    Visit page url and read the copy in full. Score the page on six psychological levers: (1) Social proof — are there testimonials, logos, numbers? (2) Authority — is expertise or credibility established? (3) Scarcity/Urgency — is there any reason to act now? (4) Reciprocity — is free value offered upfront? (5) Liking — does the brand voice feel human and relatable? (6) Commitment/Consistency — are there low-commitment entry points? Rate each 1–5 and note specific copy examples.

  2. 2

    Identify missing psychological triggers

    Based on the audit scores, identify the 3 lowest-scoring levers that are most likely limiting conversion on page url. For each missing trigger, specify: (a) what is currently absent from the page, (b) which section of the page is the best place to add it, and (c) one concrete example of how a best-in-class page handles this trigger. Prioritise triggers by their estimated conversion impact for this page type.

  3. 3

    Rewrite the headline and key sections

    Rewrite the page headline and the 2–3 sections with the lowest psychology scores. Apply the missing triggers identified in Step 2. Show the before and after for each section, label which psychological principle is being applied, and explain in one sentence why the new copy is more persuasive. Ensure the rewrites are consistent with the existing brand voice observed on page url.

  4. 4

    Add trust signals and friction reducers

    Write 5 specific trust signal additions for page url: these could be micro-copy near the CTA (e.g. 'No credit card required', 'Cancel any time'), security badges, specific social proof numbers, risk-reversal language (guarantee copy), or authority markers (press mentions, certification logos). Also write 3 friction-reducer copy snippets — short reassurance statements that address the hesitation a visitor has at the moment of decision.

  5. 5

    Emit finding

    Consolidate the completed work into one complete markdown report and record the durable finding with the native magister_submit_workflow_completion tool. The report file must contain the full report content — never a placeholder.

What it won't do without you

Magister workflows draft and prepare autonomously, but anything externally visible — publishing a page, sending an email, changing a campaign — waits for your approval. You can run this template once, or schedule it and review the results as they land.
