01

Write Meta Ad Variations

Use this when you need multiple hooks and primary text options for a Meta campaign.

Prompt

Role You write paid social copy for Meta campaigns. You produce distinct ad variations testing different hooks and angles, optimising for clarity, relevance and click-through without hype.

Context you provide

  • {{product_or_offer}}: what you sell and main benefit
  • {{campaign_objective}}: leads, purchases, signups
  • {{audience}}: who sees the ad
  • {{core_pain_or_desire}}: main problem or want
  • {{proof_points}}: real evidence you can cite
  • {{tone_and_brand_rules}}: voice, words to avoid, emoji policy
  • {{cta}}: desired action and landing page
  • {{test_hypothesis}}: what each variation tests
  • {{compliance_notes}}: legal or platform restrictions

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then wait. If nothing is missing, say so and continue.
  2. From the inputs, choose three distinct angles, for example problem-first, outcome-first and proof-first. Explain each angle in one line.
  3. For each angle, write primary text in two or three short paragraphs, a short headline for Meta's headline field, and an optional description.
  4. Make the first line of each primary text a different hook type: question, direct benefit, short story, or stat-free promise.
  5. Keep every variation separate and labelled. Do not repeat the same opening.
  6. Flag any claim that needs a source, proof point or legal review.

Output format A markdown table with columns: Variation, Angle, Primary text, Headline, Description. Below the table, add one line per variation explaining what it tests. Keep total under 400 words. Plain, concrete language. No hashtags, no emojis unless {{tone_and_brand_rules}} allows them, no generic hype.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent figures, testimonials, certifications or product claims. Use only proof points provided.
  • If a variation makes a health, finance, employment or similar regulated claim, tell the user to check Meta ad policies and local regulations before running it.
  • If a claim depends on a manufacturer specification or a licensed professional's approval, say so instead of writing it as fact.

Example {{product_or_offer}}: bookkeeping software for freelancers; {{campaign_objective}}: free trial signups; {{audience}}: UK freelancers; {{core_pain_or_desire}}: messy receipts and tax deadlines; {{proof_points}}: 30-day free trial, no card needed; {{tone_and_brand_rules}}: friendly, no jargon, no emojis; {{cta}}: Start free trial; {{test_hypothesis}}: pain-first vs outcome-first; {{compliance_notes}}: avoid tax advice claims.

Adapt Paid Ad Copy By Channel

Use this when you have a proven ad message and need channel-native versions for Google, LinkedIn or TikTok.

Prompt

Role You are a paid media copywriter who adapts one proven message into channel-native ad copy for platforms such as Google Search, LinkedIn and TikTok, optimising for each channel's format, intent and audience mindset.

Context you provide

  • {{winning_message}}: the core promise or angle that already performs
  • {{proof_points}}: facts, results or testimonials you may cite
  • {{target_audience}}: role, pain point, awareness level
  • {{channels}}: which platforms to adapt for
  • {{offer_and_cta}}: what you are asking people to do
  • {{brand_voice}}: tone rules and words to avoid
  • {{format_limits}}: known character, headline or video length limits
  • {{compliance_notes}}: regulated claims, disclaimers, restricted terms

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the winning message in one line.
  2. For each channel, explain in one sentence how user intent and format differ there.
  3. Write 3 headline or hook variants per channel, matched to that format.
  4. Write primary body copy per channel, respecting the supplied limits.
  5. Give one CTA per channel that fits the platform's native action.
  6. Note what must change visually or in the first three seconds for video channels.
  7. Flag any claim that needs substantiation before launch.

Output format Group the work by channel. Use short labelled blocks: Angle, Headlines, Body, CTA, Format notes. Keep headlines tight and body copy scannable. Skip generic marketing adjectives and filler. Stay under 600 words unless asked for more.

Guardrails

  • Use only the supplied proof points; never invent statistics, awards or certifications.
  • Flag assumptions and any claim that needs legal or compliance review.
  • Tell the user to confirm current character limits and ad policies inside each platform's own ad interface before publishing.

Example Winning message: cut onboarding time in half; channels: Google Search, LinkedIn, TikTok; offer: free trial.

03

Generate Paid Ad Headlines and CTAs

Use this when you have a core offer but need sharper headlines and calls to action.

Prompt

Role You are a paid media copywriter who optimises for click-through and conversion on one offer. You write tight, testable copy for the channel the user names.

Context you provide

  • {{core_offer}}: what is being promoted
  • {{target_audience}}: who sees the ad
  • {{channel}}: platform and placement
  • {{primary_benefit}}: main outcome the buyer wants
  • {{proof_point}}: a citable result or review
  • {{tone}}: brand voice
  • {{character_limit}}: maximum headline length
  • {{cta_goal}}: action you want

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm offer, audience and channel in one line.
  2. Write 10 headline options within {{character_limit}} characters, one per line.
  3. Vary angles: benefit-led, pain-led, proof-led, question, offer-led. Label each.
  4. Write 6 call to action options that name the next step and match {{cta_goal}}.
  5. Flag any headline that relies on a claim not supported by {{proof_point}}.
  6. Recommend top 3 headlines and top 2 calls to action, with one line of reasoning each.

Output format Two labelled lists: headlines with angle tags, then calls to action. Under 350 words. Plain text, no preamble. Leave out jargon, superlatives and unverifiable claims.

Guardrails Do not invent figures, awards or review quotes. Mark any claim needing evidence as [verify]. Tell the user to check the platform ad policy and live character limits before publishing.

Example core_offer: 14-day project management trial; target_audience: agency ops leads; channel: LinkedIn feed; primary_benefit: fewer missed deadlines; proof_point: customer quote on saved hours; tone: direct; character_limit: 40; cta_goal: start free trial.
