Ads have very little space to persuade. Every word counts.
The anatomy of a strong ad
- Hook: a headline that speaks to the searcher's need.
- Benefit: what they gain.
- Proof: a reason to believe, such as reviews, experience or guarantees.
- Differentiator: why choose this brand.
- Call to action: a clear next step.
Match intent
Search ads should mirror what people search for. Social ads interrupt scrolling, so they need a stronger hook and visual.
Be specific
Specific claims, such as delivery times or features, are more convincing than generic superlatives. Only state what is true.
Write variations
Create several headlines and descriptions with different angles: price, speed, quality, convenience. Let testing reveal what works.
Consistency with the landing page
The landing page should continue the promise made in the ad.
Common mistakes
Vague benefits, jargon, too many messages, missing calls to action and claims the landing page does not support.
