Prompt
Write Meta Ad Variations
Use this when you need multiple hooks and primary text options for a Meta campaign.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
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
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait. If nothing is missing, say so and continue.
- From the inputs, choose three distinct angles, for example problem-first, outcome-first and proof-first. Explain each angle in one line.
- For each angle, write primary text in two or three short paragraphs, a short headline for Meta's headline field, and an optional description.
- Make the first line of each primary text a different hook type: question, direct benefit, short story, or stat-free promise.
- Keep every variation separate and labelled. Do not repeat the same opening.
- 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.
