How to use these hooks

This page lists 32 hooks for ED treatment ads: 4 unaware, 6 problem aware, 6 solution aware, 6 product aware, 5 most aware, 5 spoken, not tied to a stage. Each one comes from an angle, an example static or a spoken line in an example video.

Start with the stage your audience is in. Cold traffic that has not named the problem yet needs an unaware or problem-aware line; people who already compare providers need a product-aware or most-aware line. Then pair the hook with its angle on the angles page, so the rest of the ad answers the same desire and objection. Before anything runs, check the copy on the ED treatment ad compliance page.

To adapt a hook, keep its job and change its words. A hook either names a problem the viewer already feels, corrects a belief, or shows how the service works, and the same job can be written ten ways for the ten ads in a batch. Keep every version about the service, not about the viewer, and drop any line that promises a result your brand has not cleared.

Questions

Can an ad ask the viewer if they have a condition?

No. Meta's Personal Attributes policy says ads must not assert or imply personal attributes, including physical or mental health and medical conditions. Meta rejects "Do you have diabetes?" and suggests "you" language without a personal attribute instead.

Can an opening line promise a result by a date?

Not without qualifiers. Meta's Health and Wellness policy bars promises of specific outcomes within a set timeframe without disclaimers or qualifiers.

How many hooks does one ED treatment batch need?

At least one per ad. A batch is one angle made into 10 ads: 5 videos in 5 formats and 5 statics, so each angle needs ten opening lines that say the same thing in different ways.

Can I run these hooks as written?

They are spec hooks written for a made-up brand. Check each one against the claims your brand has cleared and the current platform rules before it runs.
