What the customer gets, in a few words.

What you do that the usual option does not.

A short commitment you keep every time.

The competitor swap test
Put a competitor's name in front of your line. If it still makes sense, it is not yours yet.
Any proptech company could say this.
Also weak: “Real estate reimagined”
Specific to what Aangan does, so a competitor could not borrow it without changing their product.
See it with the logo
A tagline lives under or beside the logo, never inside it. Here is Aangan's line on light, dark and on the listing card.
Check it before you print it
Property portals use the same red and blue. Renters cannot tell one from the next. Your tagline is where you say the opposite out loud.
Questions
What makes a good tagline for a proptech startup?
It says something only you can say, in three to seven words. For example: "Homes verified. Brokers optional."
What is the competitor swap test?
Put a competitor's name in front of your tagline. If it still works, your tagline is too generic.
Should a tagline go in my logo?
Keep it as a separate line under or beside the logo, so the logo still works on its own at small sizes.
