When I first started writing for ecom brands, I was honestly terrible at it. Every time I built a new product page, I’d go down the same rabbit hole—researching the same things over and over again. What should I include? What sections should be there? What’s the right flow? It felt like starting from scratch every single time.
But after years of writing, testing, and making serious money for both dropshippers and brand owners, I’ve distilled everything I know into this checklist. It’s the formula that actually works.
And to be honest, I’m publishing it here for two reasons. First, my Google Drive is a mess—too many random docs, and I’m starting to lose track of everything. Now, I can refer back to it whenever I need. Second, I want to put my money where my mouth is. I can’t just claim to know my stuff without actually showing it, right? So here it is—use it, tweak it, and make it work for you.
Imagine meeting someone for the first time—you wouldn’t just mumble a half-hearted “hey” and hope they stick around, right? You’d put in some effort. Maybe crack a joke, flash a confident smile, or say something intriguing enough to keep the conversation going.
That’s exactly what the ATF section does for your product page. It’s your first impression, your opening line, the hook that either reels visitors in or makes them bounce faster than a bad date.
Get it right, and they’re scrolling, reading, maybe even buying right away. Get it wrong, and, well… they’re gone before you even had a chance. No pressure. But seriously—this section sets the tone, grabs attention, and determines whether someone sticks around long enough to consider buying. So, make it count.
