Yard sign copy template (readable in 3 seconds)

Neighbors do not read paragraphs on signs. They scan. This template helps your sign be readable and useful.

1) The 3-second rule

Your sign should answer in 3 seconds:

  • Who is it?
  • What do they do?
  • How do I contact them?

2) Copy templates (good vs bad)

Good template:

[Business Name]
{One job phrase}
Call/Text: {Phone}

Bad template:

“Quality service for all your needs!” (too vague)

3) Phone vs URL vs QR (simple)

For local services, phone usually wins.

  • Phone: fastest
  • URL: good if short and readable
  • QR: optional, not required

4) Proof lines (safe)

If you have a real proof line, keep it short:

  • “Local and insured” (only if true)
  • “Rated 4.9” (only if true)

Want visibility tied to a website that closes?

Signs create recognition. Your website closes the lead.
