Who it is for

Built for ad copy, sales pages, email, and landing pages.

Freelance direct-response copywriters running their own roster, in-house brand copywriters working a single voice across a media plan, and agency creative pods shipping ad sets and sales pages across multiple accounts share the same need: a fast pre-launch scan that flags AI-shaped copy before a reviewer, a client, or a quality score does.

Copywriting is one of the most exposed disciplines to generative-AI review. Meta and Google reviewers tightened ad-creative checks through 2025. Brand leads run their own Originality.ai or Copyleaks pass on agency drafts before signing off on a launch. The realistic 2026 workflow uses AI assistance and pre-scans the output before it goes anywhere near paid spend.

Freelance direct-response copywriters

Five to fifteen pieces a week across two to five clients. Pro at $14.99 a month yearly gives unlimited scans, 10,000 character pastes (enough to fit a long-form sales page in one go), and 90-day history covering roughly the length of a single client retainer. The integrated AI rewriter handles the stubborn paragraphs that flag every time without forcing a rewrite of a tested control.

In-house brand copywriters

One or two writers running brand voice across a media plan, with ad sets and landing pages going out weekly. Pre-scanning every piece before it reaches the brand-review meeting cuts the AI-pushback loop with brand leadership. The PDF export keeps a defensible record per launch, useful when leadership later asks how creative is handling AI quality control across the calendar.

Agency creative pods

Five to thirty copywriters shipping fifty or more deliverables a month across multiple client accounts. Business at $29.99 a month yearly unlocks five seats with shared scan history, REST API access for workflow automation, an audit log, and white-label PDFs branded to the agency. Direct-response agencies running a minimum Authenticity Score on every piece of paid creative usually settle on Business inside their first quarter.

Copywriting genres

How each genre scores differently.

A Facebook ad and a long-form sales page are not the same animal. Each copy genre has its own register, its own paraphrase density, and its own false-positive risk. Read the score in context of the format rather than chasing one number across every piece of creative.

Facebook and Meta ad copy

Short-form, three to seven lines of body plus a headline. Chunk size is below the classifier's reliable band, so single ads score noisily. The realistic move is to scan the full ad set as one paste (five to ten variants together) so the model has enough signal to score consistently. Healthy scores on hand-written direct-response ads run 70 to 85. Generic urgency openers and unspecified ROI claims are the recurring flags.

Google Search ad copy

Ninety-character headlines and ninety-character descriptions. Even shorter than Meta. Scan the entire campaign of fifteen headline variants together rather than scoring one headline at a time. The classifier looks at the joint distribution, which is the only stable read on copy this compressed.

Sales VSL script

Spoken-word script for a video sales letter, typically twelve to twenty-five minutes of read time. Scores well when the script preserves spoken cadence (contractions, sentence fragments, one-word lines) and scores poorly when it slips into written-prose rhythm. Healthy scores run 75 to 90 on a script written from a real interview rather than an outline.

Long-form sales page

Three to ten thousand words of structured sales argument with hook, story, offer, proof, and close. The headline number averages across the whole page, which masks specific weak slots. Scan the full page first, then re-scan the hook and the close separately, because those are the sections that drift into stock phrasing under deadline pressure.

Cold email and drip sequence

Short-form pieces below the reliable chunk band. Scan the full sequence (five to seven emails) as one paste rather than scoring one email at a time. Cold-email opening lines are the highest-risk slot because they default to the templated "I noticed that you" register that LLMs produce by default.

Landing page hero and product page

Headline, sub-headline, three benefit lines, and a CTA. Structurally similar across the entire SaaS category by convention, so scoring is volatile on the chunk alone. Treat the headline number as advisory and read the sentence highlights. Specific concrete vocabulary lifts these pieces faster than rewriting the whole hero block.

Frameworks and AI signals

AIDA, PAS, and 4Ps without the templated fingerprint.

Copywriting frameworks are not the enemy. A framework filled in with generic language is. AIDA, PAS, and 4Ps produce templated structural moves that overlap heavily with what an LLM defaults to when prompted for a sales page. The fix is to keep the framework intact and load the body with specifics.

AIDA in 2026

Attention, Interest, Desire, Action still works, but the Attention slot is the one that flags hardest. Generic openers (Imagine, Picture this, Unlock, Discover) read as templated to both reviewers and classifiers. Replace the slot with a specific number, a named customer, or a verbatim quote from research, and the framework slot still does its job without the AI fingerprint.

PAS without the stock pain language

Problem, Agitate, Solve scores best when the Agitate slot uses concrete customer-voice phrasing instead of generic "you are tired of struggling with" language. The structural move is fine. The vocabulary is the giveaway. Sentence highlights show which Agitate lines dropped into the templated band so you can swap in research-derived phrasing surgically.

Four Ps and parallel construction

Promise, Picture, Proof, Push relies on parallel structure across the four slots. LLMs produce parallel structures by default, so a Four Ps page often flags hard if the slots are all the same sentence length and cadence. Vary the rhythm between slots (short, long, fragment, long), add specific proof figures, and the framework reads human while still delivering the rhythm readers expect.

Opening verbs to retire

The recurring offending openers are Unlock, Discover, Transform, Elevate, Revolutionise, and Master. They flag in headline scans because they sit in the templated band of LLM defaults. Healthier openers lead with a specific noun, a number, or a verbatim quote pulled from research. The discipline is to write the opener last, after the offer and proof are settled, so it can carry specific content rather than acting as a generic warm-up.

Voice and brand calibration

Hold the client voice and still pass the detector.

Brand voice and detector pass-through line up more often than they fight. Distinctive cadence, varied sentence length, and concrete vocabulary all read on-brand to a brand lead and read human to the classifier. The pieces that flag are usually the ones where a writer dropped into the neutral SaaS register to push through a deadline.

Voice-of-customer phrasing scores high

Copy built from research interviews and customer-support transcripts almost always scores well because the vocabulary is specific to the audience rather than generic to the category. The discipline of pulling verbatim phrases into the draft does double duty: it lifts conversion and lifts the Authenticity Score at the same time.

Style guides that pin specifics help

A brand style guide that requires product-specific terminology over generic SaaS language is also requiring prose that reads less templated. The two requirements collapse into one. Following the brand vocabulary lifts the detector score as a side effect of doing the brand work properly.

When the brand asks for a templated line

Rare, but it happens. Some brand voices require a formulaic sign-off or boilerplate disclosure that flags every time. Flag this in the kickoff so the client knows the boilerplate paragraph will run lower than the body, then defend it on its merits rather than rewriting required copy.

Edit for voice, not for the number

The score is the diagnostic, not the goal. Rewriting purely to lift the number tends to flatten the voice and kill conversion-tested phrasing. Use the sentence highlights to find specific lines that drift into stock phrasing, rewrite those, and let the headline number land where it lands. The voice survives and the deliverable still passes.

Client deliverable scan

Pre-handoff scans so the brand lead never says "this looks AI."

A pre-handoff scan is the move that keeps brand leads from running their own check and asking awkward questions on the review call. Build the scan into the delivery ritual so every piece of copy ships with a screenshot of the score and the date in the email or Slack thread.

Set a minimum score per client account

Most direct-response agencies settle on an Authenticity Score floor of 75 or 80 for paid creative. Communicate the policy in the kickoff so a writer sending a 72 knows to revise before submitting. The number itself matters less than the consistency. A stable floor across every deliverable signals to the brand lead that quality control runs the same way every time.

Attach the scan to the delivery email

Paste a screenshot of the score and the timestamp into the body of the delivery message, or attach the PDF export on Pro and Business. The point is to pre-empt the conversation. Once a brand lead receives one delivery with the scan attached, they stop running their own check on every piece because the trust is established.

Rescan on revision

If the brand requests substantive edits, rescan the revised piece and reattach the report. This catches the case where a revision accidentally drops the score by introducing a templated passage to fix a different issue. Keeping receipts on the revision cycle prevents a late-stage flag from coming out of nowhere on a piece that scanned clean originally.

Audit log on Business

The audit log on the Business tier shows which copywriter scanned which deliverable, with timestamps, and which scans were exported as PDFs. Useful for quarterly client reviews where the agency wants to demonstrate consistent AI-quality control across the creative pod rather than relying on individual judgment.

Direct response context

Conversion testing, opens, clicks, and A/B variants.

A high score is not the win condition on its own. The win condition is copy that converts and does not get flagged. Use the score as one diagnostic alongside open rate, click rate, and conversion rate rather than chasing the headline number at the expense of a tested control.

Protect the winning control

On a control that is already converting, the right AI rewriter setting is Light. It preserves sentence structure and only adjusts cadence, which means the tested hook, offer, and close stay intact while the AI fingerprint comes off. Maximum mode is reserved for stock phrasing that was templated to begin with and was never a tested element.

A/B variants without losing signal

When generating A/B variants from a winning control, scan each variant before launch and discard anything that scores below the floor. This prevents a generative-AI variant from polluting the test cell and giving you a false read on whether the new hook is the issue or the AI residue is.

Email open and click metrics

Subject lines and preheaders are the highest-AI-risk slots in an email sequence because they default to templated curiosity ("You will not believe what happened next") and templated urgency ("Last chance, ending tonight"). Scan subject-line variants in batches of ten or twenty so the chunk is big enough to score reliably, then pick the highest-converting one that clears the score floor.

Landing page hero and conversion rate

Landing page heroes correlate strongly with hero-level conversion rate. A hero that reads generic ("Transform your business with our platform") sits low on both score and conversion. A hero with a specific number and a named customer ("Cut onboarding from twelve days to three for Series B SaaS") sits high on both. The detector is reading the same flatness signal the visitor reads.

What you see in a scan

Sentence highlights, paragraph cards, perplexity, and burstiness.

A single percentage is not a fix path. The TextSight result panel shows which sentences reacted and why, with paragraph-level rollups for longer pieces, so you can edit specific lines instead of rewriting the whole page.

Sentence-level highlights

Every sentence is colour-coded by its own AI-likeness score. Red sentences clustered in one paragraph are a stronger signal than scattered yellows. Scattered yellows in otherwise structured prose often just mean a stock transitional phrase. You read the pattern, not just the headline number.

Paragraph cards on Pro

Longer pieces get paragraph-level rollups so you can see which paragraph is dragging the headline score. On sales pages the hook and the close are the usual suspects. On VSL scripts the bridge between problem and solution is the recurring weak slot. Targeting the lowest paragraph first is the fastest way to lift the page.

Perplexity, read-only on Pro

Perplexity is how predictable your word choices are to a language model. Low perplexity reads AI-like. The score is shown per-sentence on Pro, which is the diagnostic context you need to decide whether a flag is real AI residue or a particularly well-rehearsed product description.

Burstiness, read-only on Pro

Burstiness is how much sentence length and structure vary across the piece. ChatGPT defaults to uniform medium-length sentences. Real human copywriting has bursty rhythm: one short line, one long, one fragment. Low burstiness across an entire sales page is the classic AI fingerprint and the one experienced brand leads learn to spot first.

FAQ

Copywriters frequently ask.

Will Meta or Google reviewers actually flag AI-shaped ad copy?
Yes, both platforms tightened ad-creative review through 2025. Generic AI-shaped headlines (Unlock, Discover, Transform, Elevate) plus stock urgency language without specific numbers correlate with manual-review delays on Meta and with lower quality scores on Google Search. Outside the regulated verticals, neither platform publishes an explicit AI rule, but both quietly downrank creative that reads templated. A pre-launch scan catches the obvious tells before they cost an ad set its impressions on day one.
Can I share a TextSight scan with my client or in-house brand lead?
Yes. The result view is shareable with a permanent URL and a timestamp, and the score, sentence highlights, and date land in one screenshot. Most copywriters paste the screenshot into the delivery Slack or attach the PDF export on Pro when handing off a sales page or VSL. Agencies frequently standardise on a minimum Authenticity Score of 75 or 80 per deliverable, similar to how design teams hand off a Figma link with the hex codes locked. The scan becomes procedural proof that the copy was reviewed before it hit paid media.
What AI tells should copywriters specifically watch for?
The recurring copywriter signals are opening verbs (Unlock, Discover, Transform, Elevate, Revolutionise), generic urgency without numbers (limited time, act now, do not miss out), ROI claims with no specific figure (boost results, drive growth, maximise value), three-item parallel structures stacked back to back, and listicle subheads that read like training data. TextSight highlights these at the sentence level so you can rewrite the specific offending lines rather than redrafting the entire page.
How does TextSight handle frameworks like AIDA, PAS, and 4Ps?
Frameworks are not the enemy, but a framework filled in with generic language is. AIDA, PAS, and 4Ps produce templated structural moves that overlap heavily with how an LLM defaults when prompted for a sales page. The fix is to keep the framework intact and load the body with brand-specific vocabulary, concrete numbers, and the customer-voice phrases pulled from research. Sentence highlights show which framework slots dropped into the templated band so you can target rewrites at the slot, not the entire structure.
Which tier fits a freelance copywriter?
Pro at $19.99 a month, or $14.99 a month on yearly, is the right fit for full-time freelance copywriters shipping five to fifteen pieces a week across two to five clients. It unlocks unlimited scans, 10,000 character pastes (enough to fit a long-form sales page in one go), 90-day scan history, file upload, and the integrated AI rewriter for stubborn passages. Starter at $9.99 a month works for copywriters shipping mostly short-form ad sets or three to four pieces a week.
Which tier fits a copywriting agency or direct-response team?
Business at $39.99 a month, or $29.99 a month on yearly, is the right fit for direct-response agencies and in-house brand teams scanning fifty or more deliverables a month. It includes five seats with shared history, 100,000 AI rewriter words a month, REST API access for workflow automation, an audit log, and white-label PDFs branded to the agency. Agencies running a minimum Authenticity Score policy on every piece of paid creative usually settle on Business inside a quarter.
Does the AI rewriter flatten my voice or kill conversion-tested phrasing?
The AI rewriter has Light, Balanced, and Maximum modes. Light keeps your sentence structure intact and only adjusts cadence, which is the right setting on conversion-tested control copy where you cannot afford to lose a winning hook. Balanced rewords more freely while keeping the offer, the proof, and the close intact. Maximum restructures and is reserved for stock phrasing that was templated to begin with. For A/B variants on a winning control, Light is almost always the right call.
Does TextSight share my client work or train on it?
No on both. Scans are private to your account and we do not share client copy with anyone. Text submitted for scanning is never used to train the classifier or any other model. This is a contract clause, not a configuration toggle, and it applies the same way on free, Starter, Pro, and Business. Client NDAs and unreleased-campaign confidentiality clauses are honoured by default.
