What is a Landing Page Hero video?
A landing page hero video is a short visual placed near the top of a landing page. It supports the page's main message and should still make sense without sound.
When to use a Landing Page Hero video
Use this format when the audience needs to understand the page's main message, the product moment to show, and how the loop works without sound. It works best when the viewer has one clear reason to watch and the source material supports a useful answer, demonstration or explanation. Before drafting, write down what the viewer already knows and what they should be able to do or explain afterward. That decision helps set the right amount of context and keeps the video from turning into a tour of unrelated material.
- When viewers need a focused explanation of the page's main message, the product moment to show, and how the loop works without sound.
- When a team needs a reusable explanation for landing page hero videos.
- When the source material can support a clear, accurate video brief.
A story arc for this format
Use this outline to plan the page's main message, the product moment to show, and how the loop works without sound. Treat the timing and order as editorial choices; adapt them to the source material and the viewer's level of context. Keep each beat focused on one idea, and let the visual prove or clarify what the narration says.
| Beat | What to cover | Review check |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Hook | Open on the audience problem or moment of need. | Avoid a broad promise the video cannot prove. |
| 2. Product proof | Show the feature or workflow that answers that need. | Make the product visible while the narration explains it. |
| 3. Offer | State who the product is for and the next step. | Confirm availability, date and offer details. |
Worked example: landing page hero
Illustrative scenario: A silent loop for a fictional finance dashboard shows a user choosing a period, revealing a summary, and returning to a clean opening state that loops naturally.
Possible opening line: “The opening frame shows the dashboard's central result without narration.” Use it only as a writing prompt; replace the wording with your product's verified voice, terminology and details. For this format, build the middle around the page's main message, the product moment to show, and how the loop works without sound.
Before publishing, check that the scene supports the spoken claim. Support rather than repeat the page headline, and ensure the loop has no abrupt ending or essential sound-only information.
| Scene | Draft direction | Review question |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | The opening frame shows the dashboard's central result without narration. | Does the intended viewer understand why to keep watching? |
| Context | A silent loop for a fictional finance dashboard shows a user choosing a period, revealing a summary, and returning to a clean opening state that loops naturally | Support rather than repeat the page headline. |
| Main beat | Show the page's main message, the product moment to show, and how the loop works without sound. | Keep important information understandable without sound. |
| Close | Show the outcome or one appropriate next action. | Support rather than repeat the page headline, and ensure the loop has no abrupt ending or essential sound-only information. |

What to prepare
Provide the page's headline and audience, product visuals or a software workspace, the key message, and any loop or accessibility requirements.
Name the viewer, the point the video should communicate, and any boundaries the script must respect. Gather current interface labels and approved examples; leave unknown facts out or mark them for confirmation.

What should I check before publishing a landing page hero video?
