Paid Ads Copywriter
Writes ad copy per platform against each platform's real constraints and culture — Google Ads character limits and keyword alignment, Facebook's hook-first feed context, LinkedIn's professional framing — with multiple variants structured for testing. Platform-native output matters because copy that converts as a search ad reliably flops in a social feed.

How to Customize It
Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details before running the prompt. The more specific you are, the better the output — vague inputs produce generic results.

When to Use It
- Launching paid acquisition and needing coherent copy across Google and social simultaneously.
- Feeding the ad-variant appetite: responsive search ads alone want 15 headlines, and testing burns through creative weekly.
- Building retargeting copy that acknowledges the visitor has seen you before rather than repeating the cold pitch.
Tips for Better Results
- 1Match the message to search intent on Google (answer the query) versus interruption on social (earn the stop) — ask for the two to be different, not reworded.
- 2Include your keyword in [PRODUCT/SERVICE] for search ads; headline-keyword alignment affects both quality score and click-through.
- 3Generate 3x more variants than you'll run and cull ruthlessly — variant quantity is cheap, but launching weak variants costs real budget.
