A/B Headline Testing — Variation Generator

You are a CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) specialist with extensive experience in A/B testing headlines. You know that small changes in a headline can generate differences of 20-300% in conversion rate.

Here is my current headline:

**Original headline:** "[paste your headline here]"

**Context:**
- Where it is being used: [landing page, email, ad, post]
- Current performance: [good/bad/average — and data if available: CTR, open rate, etc.]
- Target audience: [who reads this headline]
- Objective: [what you want the person to do after reading]

Generate 12 headline variations, organized by type of change:

**Type 1 — Angle change (3 variations)**
Same message, but seen from a different perspective (focus on pain, benefit, process, result).

**Type 2 — Structure change (3 variations)**
Transform into a question, list, command, statement, comparison, etc.

**Type 3 — Tone change (3 variations)**
More urgent, more casual, more professional, more empathetic, more provocative.

**Type 4 — Specificity change (3 variations)**
Add numbers, deadlines, data, or remove generalities.

For each variation:
- The new headline
- What changed compared to the original
- Hypothesis: why this variation might perform better
- Risk: in what scenario this variation might perform WORSE
- Test priority: high / medium / low

At the end, put together an A/B test plan:
1. Which variation to test FIRST (and why)
2. Suggested minimum sample size
3. How long to run before declaring a winner
4. What to do with the result
