Hook Formulas (First Sentence)

The 3-Second Rule

There are ~3 seconds to capture attention.
The first sentence determines whether people stop scrolling.

Top 10 Hook Frameworks

#	Framework	Example
1	Problem + Solution	"Tired of [problem]? Here's the solution."
2	Shocking Statistic	"80% of [audience] make this mistake..."
3	Ask a Question	"Did you know that [surprising fact]?"
4	Direct Address	"This is for you if you [situation]..."
5	Social Proof	"50,000+ people already joined..."
6	Urgency	"Today only: [offer]"
7	Curiosity Gap	"The secret behind [desired result]..."
8	Before/After	"From [negative] to [positive] in [time]"
9	Contrarian	"Forget everything you knew about [topic]"
10	Specific Result	"[Exact result] in [exact time]"

Copywriting Frameworks

PAS Framework (Problem-Agitate-Solve)

STRUCTURE:
P - Problem: Name the problem
A - Agitate: Make the problem bigger/more painful
S - Solve: Present your solution

EXAMPLE:
"Getting headaches from Excel spreadsheets again? [PROBLEM]
It costs you hours every week and you keep making mistakes. [AGITATE]
With [Product] you automate everything in 5 minutes. [SOLVE]"

AIDA Framework (Attention-Interest-Desire-Action)

STRUCTURE:
A - Attention: Grab attention with hook
I - Interest: Build interest with benefits
D - Desire: Create desire with results
A - Action: Call to action

EXAMPLE:
"Stop wasting money on ineffective ads. [ATTENTION]
Our AI analyzes 100+ data points per campaign. [INTEREST]
Customers see an average 3x higher ROAS. [DESIRE]
Start your free trial → [ACTION]"

BAB Framework (Before-After-Bridge)

STRUCTURE:
B - Before: Current situation (pain)
A - After: Desired situation (pleasure)
B - Bridge: Your product as the bridge

EXAMPLE:
"You work 60 hours a week and barely see your family. [BEFORE]
Imagine: same revenue, but 20 fewer hours of work. [AFTER]
[Product] automates your workflows so you get your time back. [BRIDGE]"

4U Framework

STRUCTURE:
- Useful: Is it useful?
- Urgent: Is there urgency?
- Unique: Is it unique?
- Ultra-specific: Is it specific?

EXAMPLE:
"Save 10 hours per week [USEFUL] - this week only 50% off [URGENT].
The only tool that combines AI + human review [UNIQUE].
327 companies increased their conversion by 47% [ULTRA-SPECIFIC]."

Platform-Specific Tips

Facebook vs Instagram vs Threads vs Meta Audience Network

FACEBOOK:
├── Longer copy can work (test!)
├── More context & detail allowed
├── Desktop users read more
└── Emojis work, but keep subtle

INSTAGRAM:
├── Shorter = better (visual first)
├── Emoji-friendly
├── Lifestyle & aspirational tone
└── Under 125 characters ideal

THREADS (400M+ MAU, launched as ad placement March 2026):
├── Conversational, community-first tone
├── Shorter copy — feels like a post
├── Avoid hard-sell language
└── Works well for brand awareness and engagement

STORIES/REELS:
├── Ultra short (< 50 characters)
├── Native, casual tone
├── Emojis as visual elements
└── Urgency works well

META AUDIENCE NETWORK:
├── Works with same copy as Feed
├── Banner + interstitial formats
└── Often excluded in manual placement tests

Character Limits & Best Practices

Optimal Lengths

Component	Minimum	Optimal	Maximum
Primary Text	40	100-150	2000

Formatting Tips

DO:
├── Use line breaks for readability
├── Bullets/emoji for scannable lists

├── Multiple CTAs in one ad
└── Jargon your audience doesn't know

MCP Tool Usage

Pull top-performing ad copy to inform new variations:

# Retrieve existing ad performance to identify winning copy patterns
meta_get_insights(
    account_id="act_XXXXXXXXX",
    level="ad",
    date_preset="last_30d",
    fields=["impressions", "ctr", "spend", "actions", "cost_per_action_type"]
)

# Then pull the actual creative text from top performers
meta_get_creatives(
    account_id="act_XXXXXXXXX",
    scope="account",
    date_preset="last_30d",
    sort_by="ctr"
)

Use these to analyze which hooks, benefit statements, and CTAs are currently winning before generating new copy variants.
