Homepage headline examples for models
The headline is read in about a second, usually by someone who arrived from a search. It should confirm they are in the right place.
Ten of them follow, written for models rather than filled in from a template. Your customer is a casting director or brand comparing thirty portfolios in a sitting, and what they are weighing up before they get in touch is booking from a portfolio that is three years old and stats that no longer match.
Service plus place
Editorial in [your town]
Use this as the safe default. It says what and where, which is what people searched for.
The outcome
[The problem], sorted — usually within the week
Use this when the result is more compelling than the service name.
Answers the worry
My measurements are dated and current
Use this when the whole market has a trust problem.
Speaks to the customer
For a casting director or brand comparing thirty portfolios in a sitting
Use this where naming who it is for filters better than naming what it is.
Credential-led
Models in [your town] — represented
Use this where the licence is the first thing people look for.
The question they typed
Need a model in [your town]?
Use this to mirror the search that brought them here.
The standard
Keeping the digitals and measurements genuinely current
Use this if your differentiator is strong enough to lead with.
Plain and unglamorous
Models who turn up and charge what they quoted
Use this when your market distrusts polish.
Specialist
Just editorial. Nothing else.
Use this if you have narrowed and want the right people only.
With the next step in it
View portfolio — check the current digitals and measurements, then book through my agency
Use this where the headline sits right on top of the button.
Writing for models: what actually matters
What should a model’s website say that a generic one does not?
Three things, in this order. That you are represented. That you understand the thing people are actually worried about, which for models is booking from a portfolio that is three years old and stats that no longer match. And what happens next: check the current digitals and measurements, then book through my agency. Everything else on the page is decoration by comparison.
What does a casting director or brand comparing thirty portfolios in a sitting check first?
The credential, then the proof. For models it sounds like this. My measurements are dated and current. My portfolio shows this year, not three years ago. I state my representation and any union status. Put at least one of those above the fold rather than on a separate page nobody opens.
What is the most common mistake on a model’s website?
Writing about the business instead of the customer. "We have been established since 1998" answers a question nobody asked. "Check the current digitals and measurements, then book through my agency" answers the one they are actually holding. If you only fix one thing, fix that.
How long should the copy be?
Shorter than you think, except where trust is being built. An About page of 120 well-chosen words beats 500 vague ones. The exception is anything explaining booking from a portfolio that is three years old and stats that no longer match — there, specifics earn their length.
