Consider Smart Builder your developer, designer, copywriter and conversion rate expert. Powered by 1.5 billion conversions, Smart Builder helps you confidently and quickly create pre-optimized landing pages that are tailored to your industry, audience, and campaign goals.

Along with our guided experience, Smart Builder handles your copywriting needs thanks to our Copy Assistant, our built-in wordsmith that helps you generate high-converting copy based on your audience, industry, and conversion goals, with just a few lines of text.

This article will explain each step when creating your page with Smart Builder:

  1. Designing your page, 
  2. Creating Copy, and
  3. Editing your page.

    • Rest assured, you can update the page typography (fonts, font family, text size), page sections, and background colors in later steps when designing and editing your page.
  6. If you need to update the page's Purpose, select the drop-down menu on the left-hand side of the Design page:
    Update page Purpose within Design page.

Click the Create Copy button at the bottom left-hand corner of Smart Builder to save these changes and begin adding copy to your page.

Creating Copy

After the Design step, the next step is the Copy Assistant.

What is the Copy Assistant? It's Unbounce's built-in wordsmith that will generate high-converting copy - for your entire landing page - catered to your audience, industry, and conversion goals.

To demonstrate this in action, the example provided below is a landing page for an eCommerce store.

  1. To start, input a description of your company:

  2. Once you’ve added the description, click the Generate Copy.

  3. The Copy Assistant will curate relevant and insightful copy for your landing page’s headings and paragraphs:

This is one of the three options the Copy Assistant can provide you.

To view more suggestions, you’ll need to provide the Copy Assistant with a little more details about your brand and purpose.

  1. For more suggestions, toggle the Enhanced Copy button on the left-hand side:

    • Your product feature
    • Your product benefits:

  3. Click Generate More Copy.
  4. A second page with more copy options will appear:
