When to use it

  • You're about to run a small ad campaign on social media.
  • You know your offer, who it's for and what you want people to do.

When not to

  • As a replacement for checking the platform's ad rules. Read them yourself.

What to have ready

  • What you're promoting
  • Who it's for
  • Real benefits and any real proof, such as reviews you're allowed to use
  • The offer and next step

The prompt

Fill in the [BRACKETS], then paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

› the prompt
You're helping me write social media ads. Write drafts for me to check.

What we're promoting: [SERVICE OR OFFER]
Who it's for: [YOUR CUSTOMERS]
Real benefits: [WHAT CUSTOMERS GET]
Proof we can use: [E.G. A REVIEW WE HAVE PERMISSION TO QUOTE, OR "NONE"]
The offer: [E.G. FREE QUOTE, 10% OFF FIRST CLEAN]
What people should do: [E.G. BOOK ONLINE]
Platform: [E.G. FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM]
How we sound: [E.G. WARM AND LOCAL]

Please:
1. Write three ad ideas, each built around one customer need.
2. For each: a headline, the main text, the button wording, and an idea for the picture.
3. Say which benefit each one uses.
4. List what I should check before running them, such as the platform's current text limits and ad rules.

Rules:
- Use only what I've given you. Don't invent reviews, results, deadlines or scarcity.
- If I haven't given proof, don't add any.
- Mark every ad DRAFT. I'll check them before they run.

Example input

A made-up example of what the brackets might say.

Promoting: end-of-tenancy cleaning. Who for: tenants moving out in Pittsburgh. Benefits: deposit-ready clean, with a checklist landlords recognize. Proof: "Got my full deposit back" (review, permission given). Offer: free quote in 24 hours. Next step: book online. Platform: Facebook and Instagram. How we sound: friendly and reassuring.

Tips

  • Test two ads against each other with a small budget before spending more.
  • Send ads to a page about that offer, not your homepage.
