Writing High-Converting Offer Descriptions

Your offer description is the first thing users see. Make it count.

The Formula: Problem → Solution → Benefit

Bad: “SaaS platform with advanced features and integrations”
Good: “Project management tool that helps remote teams stay organized and ship faster”

Best Practices

1. Lead with the benefit, not the feature
  • ❌ “API-first architecture with 500+ integrations”
  • ✅ “Connect all your tools in one place — no more context switching”
2. Use conversational language
  • ❌ “Enterprise-grade resource optimization platform”
  • ✅ “Manage your team’s time and projects without the complexity”
3. Be specific about who it’s for
  • ❌ “Business software”
  • ✅ “Project management for remote teams under 50 people”
4. Include a clear value proposition
  • ❌ “Affordable pricing”
  • ✅ “Free tier + $29/month Pro plan — no credit card required”
5. Keep it short (2-3 sentences max)
  • Users are reading in an AI conversation, not a landing page
  • Concise descriptions perform better

Example Descriptions

SaaS Product (CRM)
“Customer relationship management for small sales teams. Organize leads, track deals, and close faster — all without the enterprise complexity. Free tier + $49/month.”
E-commerce Product (Headphones)
“Premium wireless headphones with 30-hour battery life and active noise cancellation. Perfect for travel, work, and everyday use. $199.”

“Growth strategy consulting for B2B SaaS founders. We help you identify your ideal customer and build repeatable sales processes. Free 30-min consultation.”

Selecting Categories & Keywords

Categories help AdMesh match your offer to user queries. Choose wisely.

How Categories Work

  • Users ask questions in AI conversations
  • AdMesh matches your offer based on category relevance
  • Higher relevance = more visibility = better placement

Best Practices

1. Choose 2-3 specific categories (not broad ones)
  • ❌ “Business Tools”
  • ✅ “CRM Software”, “Sales Tools”, “Small Business”
2. Think like your customer
  • What would they search for?
  • What problem are they trying to solve?
  • What words would they use?
3. Avoid over-tagging
  • More categories ≠ more visibility
  • Irrelevant categories hurt your Contextual Relevance Score (CRS)
  • Stick to 2-3 that truly fit
4. Use specific, not generic categories
  • ❌ “Software”
  • ✅ “Project Management Software”

Category Examples by Industry

SaaS
  • CRM Software, Sales Tools, Team Collaboration, Project Management, Customer Support
E-commerce
  • Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Sports & Outdoors, Beauty & Personal Care
Services
  • Consulting, Freelance Services, Digital Marketing, Web Design, Business Coaching
