On YouTube Shorts, viewers decide whether to keep watching in the first 2 seconds. A strong hook names a problem, makes a claim or opens a curiosity gap before the viewer can scroll — then the product proves it.
Only use claims, reviews, prices and scarcity you can prove — Meta and TikTok reject ads with misleading or unsubstantiated claims. Avoid before/after claims for health or body results, don't imply personal attributes (“Are you overweight?”), and keep prices and offers accurate on the landing page.
