Ad Copy Generator
Most ad accounts test variations of the same message — five ways to say 'buy our product'. Winning accounts test fundamentally different angles. The Ad Copy Generator writes 10 ads built on 10 different psychological approaches, sized to platform character limits, ready to drop into a testing matrix.
What this skill does
The difference between a 1.5x ROAS and a 4x ROAS is usually not the wording — it's whether you tested the right angle. Pain agitation lands hard with one audience. Identity ("for people who already know X") lands with another. Curiosity beats both for cold traffic. You can't know which one is yours until the data tells you, and the data can't tell you anything if you only ever ran variations of "Buy Now — Limited Time".
The skill generates 10 ads built on 10 fundamentally different psychological approaches: pain agitation, social proof, before/after, urgency, us vs them, identity, curiosity, storytelling, logic, FOMO. Each one is a different reason to buy, not a different way to say the same thing. Every variant is written to the exact character limits of the platform you specified — Meta primary text under 125 visible chars, Google headlines at 30, TikTok ad text at 100 with a 15-30 second script direction. Truncated ads look amateur; the skill writes to fit, doesn't write and cut.
Angles get matched to funnel stage. Pain and curiosity work for cold audiences. Social proof and urgency work for warm. Before/after and FOMO are retargeting angles — they only land when the viewer already knows the product exists. If you ask for 10 cold-traffic ads but the campaign is retargeting, the skill flags that and rebuilds the slate. Phase 1 recommendations adapt accordingly: cold traffic leads with Pain, Curiosity, Identity; warm leads with Social Proof, Before/After, FOMO.
The output isn't 10 ads to pick a favourite from. It's a testing matrix with a phased plan: weeks 1-2 test the three most-different angles to find the winning category, weeks 3-4 test three hook variations within the winner, week 5+ scales and introduces fresh creative before fatigue sets in. Plus an audience-pairing table (which variant suits cold vs warm vs retargeting), creative direction notes per variant, and platform-native warnings — TikTok ads that look like ads die in the feed; the skill writes them to feel editorial.
Honest about limits: no promises of specific ROAS, CPC, or conversion rates. Ad performance depends on creative, targeting, offer, landing page, market conditions, and timing. The skill builds the testing slate. The market decides which angle wins. For compliance-sensitive industries — pharma, financial services, alcohol, gambling, health and wellness — the skill flags which angles need legal review and which claims to strip before launch.
When this triggers
- ·You're launching ads and need a real testing slate, not one ad written five times with different verbs
- ·Your current ROAS is stuck around 1.5x and you suspect you've never tested a different angle
- ·You're running Meta, Google, or TikTok and need the copy in the exact format each platform requires
- ·You're moving from cold to retargeting and the cold-traffic angles aren't working — you need warm-audience angles instead
- ·You're in a compliance-sensitive vertical (health, finance, alcohol) and need to know which claims to avoid
Example
Trigger
User: 'DTC sleep supplement. £35 bottle. Meta ads. Audience: 30-50, light sleepers, suspicious of pharma sleep aids.'
Output
10 variants, one angle each. Examples: VARIANT 1 — PAIN AGITATION Primary text (118 chars): "3am again. Phone says 3:47. You'll feel it tomorrow at the 2pm meeting and the school pickup." Headline (38 chars): "The supplement light sleepers trust" CTA: Shop Now VARIANT 2 — SOCIAL PROOF Primary text: "4,200 light sleepers switched last quarter. 87% kept reordering past month 3." VARIANT 5 — US VS THEM Primary text: "Still taking [pharma brand]? Here's what's actually in it — and what we left out." [...through Identity, Curiosity, Storytelling, Logic, FOMO] Phase 1 (Week 1-2): test Pain, Social Proof, Curiosity — most different angles for cold audience. Phase 2: take the winner, test 3 hook variations. Phase 3: scale, introduce fresh creative to fight fatigue.
