The short version
- A services page is where a visitor decides whether you can solve their problem. It should describe the problem you solve, exactly what they get, and why they can trust you, then make the next step obvious.
- Use the Problem-Package-Proof method: open with the problem in the client's words, describe each service as a clear package, and back it with real proof.
- Write one clear section per service, say who each one is not for, explain what happens after someone gets in touch, and end every section with one specific next step.
How do you write a services page?
You write a services page by starting with the problem your clients have, then describing each service as a clear package: who it is for, what is included, what the result is, and what happens next. Use your clients' words, not industry jargon. Back each service with real proof such as a testimonial or case study, answer the obvious questions about process and pricing, and finish with one clear next step, usually booking a call or requesting a quote. The goal is that a good-fit visitor finishes the page knowing exactly what you do for them and how to start.
The most common problem I see is a services page that reads like a list of capabilities: "strategy, design, development, consulting." That tells a visitor what you can do. It does not tell them what you will do for them, and that is the question they came with.
What a services page is really for
People who reach your services page are usually comparing options. They have a problem, they are checking whether you can solve it, and they are deciding whether to reach out. That makes this page one of the closest to revenue on a service business website.
- Qualify - help the right clients recognize themselves and help the wrong ones self-select out before a call.
- Clarify - turn "what do you actually do" into a concrete picture of the work and the result.
- Convert - make the next step simple enough that a ready buyer takes it right away.
The Problem-Package-Proof method
Problem-Package-Proof is the method I recommend because it mirrors how a buyer thinks: do you understand my problem, what exactly would I get, and can I trust you to deliver it.
| Part | What to write | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Problem | Name the problem in the client's words, and who has it. | "Your team spends hours every week copying data between tools." |
| 2. Package | Describe the service as a defined package: what is included, the deliverable, and how it works. | "We map your process, build the automation, and train your team to run it." |
| 3. Proof | Show real evidence that you have done this before. | A client testimonial, a short case study, or an example of the deliverable. |
The Problem-Package-Proof method - three parts of every service section
Packaging is the part most service businesses skip. A vague service invites a vague conversation about scope and price. A defined package lets a visitor picture the work and compare it to their budget before they ever book a call. If your services are still custom every time, [how to productize a service](/blog/how-to-productize-a-service) shows how to turn them into clear packages first.
How to structure the page
Whether you offer one service or several, this order works for most small businesses and freelancers.
| Section | What it does |
|---|---|
| Headline and subheadline | States who you help and the main outcome. See [how to write a headline](/blog/how-to-write-a-headline). |
| One section per service | Problem, package, proof, and a specific next step for each service. |
| Who this is not for | A short, honest list of clients you are not the right fit for, which helps good-fit clients trust the rest. |
| How it works | The steps from first contact to delivered result, so nothing about the process feels uncertain. |
| Pricing or starting point | A price, a range, or a clear note on how pricing is set. See [how to write a pricing page](/blog/how-to-write-a-pricing-page). |
| FAQ and final call to action | Answers to the last objections, then one clear way to get started. |
A simple services page structure
If you offer many services, consider a short overview page that links to one dedicated page per service. Each dedicated page can then go deeper and match the specific way people search for that service.
Should you show prices on your services page?
My recommendation is to show at least a starting price or a range when you can. Visitors who cannot find any indication of price often assume it is too expensive, or they book a call just to ask, which wastes time on both sides. A starting point filters out clients who are not a fit and gives good-fit clients the confidence to reach out.
If your work truly varies too much to price up front, say so plainly and explain what drives the price, such as scope, timeline, or the number of systems involved. That is still far more useful than silence. Questions you keep hearing about price and scope belong in an [FAQ section](/blog/how-to-write-an-faq-page), and the doubts you hear on calls are covered in [how to handle sales objections](/blog/how-to-handle-sales-objections).
Services page mistakes to avoid
- Listing capabilities instead of outcomes. "Web design" is a capability. "A website that books appointments for you" is an outcome.
- Using jargon your clients do not use. Write the way they describe the problem, not the way your industry does.
- Treating every service as custom. If nothing is defined, visitors cannot tell what they would get.
- No proof. Claims without testimonials, examples, or case studies are easy to ignore.
- Hiding the process. Uncertainty about what happens after someone gets in touch stops people from getting in touch.
- Several competing calls to action. Pick the one next step that matters most and repeat it, as covered in [how to write a call to action](/blog/how-to-write-a-call-to-action).
How to write your services page with Claude
Claude is good at turning a messy description of what you do into clear, client-focused packages. Use the Claude desktop app and give it your real material.
- Paste in a plain description of each service, who you do it for, what is included, how long it takes, and how you price it.
- Add real client language from call notes, emails, and testimonials, with personal details removed. Tell Claude not to invent any result, client, number, or testimonial that is not in what you gave it.
- Ask Claude to rewrite each service using Problem-Package-Proof, in the client's words, and to flag any service that is too vague to describe as a package.
- Ask it to draft a "who this is not for" list and a short "how it works" process from your notes.
- Ask it to read the page as a skeptical buyer and list every question or doubt the page leaves unanswered. Fix those, check every claim against reality, and then publish.
If you have a client result you can share in depth, turn it into proof with [how to write a customer case study](/blog/how-to-write-a-customer-case-study) and link it from the matching service.
Frequently asked questions
What should be on a services page?
The problem you solve, a clear description of each service as a package, who each service is for and not for, real proof, how the process works, a price or starting point, answers to common questions, and one clear next step.
Should each service have its own page?
If you offer several distinct services, yes, usually. An overview page with links to one dedicated page per service lets each page go deeper and match how people search for that specific service. If you offer one or two closely related services, a single page is fine.
How long should a services page be?
Long enough to answer the questions a buyer has before they get in touch. For a single service that might be a short page. For a higher-priced service, buyers usually want more detail on the process, proof, and pricing before they reach out.
What is the difference between a services page and a sales page?
A services page usually describes what you do and leads to a conversation, such as booking a call or requesting a quote. A sales page usually sells one specific offer and leads directly to a purchase. Many of the same writing principles apply to both.
What call to action should a services page use?
Use the one next step that fits how you sell. For most service businesses that is booking a call or requesting a quote. Name it specifically, such as "Book a free intro call," only if that is exactly what you offer.
