Step 1:  Set-up Your Headlines


Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up your headlines in ClickFunnels Page Editor:


1. Access ClickFunnel Page Editor 

  • Open the ClickFunnels editor for your page.


2. Create Placeholder Headline

  • Add a headline element to your page.

  • Open Your Headline element's setting and click "Get CSS info"


3. Assign CSS Titles

  • Main Headline CSS:   cf-typed-headline-x

  • Name it uniquely using the format: cf typed headline 1.

  • Customize the text, font size, and color as needed.


4. Create Alternate Versions

  • Clone the original headline to create alternative versions.

  • Customize each headline with different phrases or endings (sample below)


5. Name Alternatives for Replacement

  • For each alternate headline, go to settings and click "Get CSS Info."

  • Secondary Headlines CSS:   cf-typed-strings-x


6. Assign CSS Titles For Each Alternate Versions As Notated in Steps Below

  • Replace the existing cf typed headline with cf typed strings 1 (or corresponding number) So if you have  a single group of 5 headlines, all strings would be -1.


  • Adjust formatting (bold, italic, underline, etc.) on alternate headlines.

  • Overall formatting (except for bold) will follow the original headline.

  • Either place alternate headlines in hidden section at the bottom of the page or hide them individually. This ensures they won't appear by default when the page loads.



7. Save Changes

  • Save the changes made to your ClickFunnels page.
