Question
Hook: Is this the best pair of curve-fit jeans for curvy women, sizes 14–28?
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.
Shorts viewers swipe fast — open on motion, not a logo.
Loopable endings boost watch time.
Pair the Short with a product link or Demand Gen campaign.

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 Shorts hook be?expand_more
Say it in the first 2 seconds — 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 plus-size fashion ads?expand_more
Show the product on a real person within 3 seconds, lead with the pain point (“jeans that fit your hips but gape at the waist”) or the benefit (“it hugs your hips without gaping at the waist”), 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.
