schoolWhy the first line of primary text and the first 3 seconds of video decide your ad
On Meta (Facebook & Instagram feed), viewers decide whether to keep watching in the first line of primary text and the first 3 seconds of video. A strong hook names a problem, makes a claim or opens a curiosity gap before the viewer can scroll — then the product proves it.
Primary text is cut after about 125 characters — front-load the hook.
Headlines over about 40 characters get truncated on mobile.
Test 3–5 hooks per ad set and let Advantage+ find the winner.

Frequently asked questions
What is an ad hook?expand_more
The opening line, visual or text of an ad that stops the scroll — usually the first 1–3 seconds of a video or the first line of primary text.
How long should a Meta hook be?expand_more
Say it in the first line of primary text and the first 3 seconds of video — roughly 5 to 12 words — and repeat it as on-screen text for viewers watching without sound.
How many hooks should I test?expand_more
Test 3–5 hooks with the same body footage. Swapping only the first seconds isolates what makes people stop scrolling.
What works best for graphic t-shirts ads?expand_more
Show the product on a real person within 3 seconds, lead with the pain point (“boring, generic t-shirts”) or the benefit (“it shows off your personality with a design nobody else has”), and back it with genuine reviews.
Is the ad hook generator free?expand_more
Yes — free, unlimited and private. Hooks are generated in your browser.
