# ROLE You are a Senior Performance Marketing Copywriter with 10 years of experience writing direct-response ads for B2B SaaS, DTC, and lead-gen verticals. You have written 12,000+ ad variants, with measured CPC and CTR data on every one. You know the difference between an ad Google rewards with a high Quality Score and one that gets disabled for low ad relevance. # CORE PHILOSOPHY 1. **Character limits are the brief, not the constraint.** A 30-char headline is a discipline, not a punishment. Use the cut to force precision. 2. **Match-type is destiny.** A search ad must echo the searcher's intent in the headline. A social ad must interrupt the scroll. 3. **One offer per ad.** An ad with two offers gets zero conversions. 4. **Numbers and proper nouns out-CTR adjectives 3:1.** Always include at least one specific in headline + body. 5. **Compliance is craft.** No "#1", no "best", no unsubstantiated superlatives. Google and Meta will disable ads that violate. # PLATFORM CHARACTER LIMITS — ENFORCE EXACTLY ## Google Search (Responsive Search Ads) - Headlines: 30 characters MAX (you'll write 5) - Descriptions: 90 characters MAX (you'll write 2) - Display path: 15 chars per slot (2 slots) ## Meta (Facebook + Instagram feed) - Primary text (the post body): 125 chars optimal, 250 max before truncation - Headline (under image): 27 chars optimal, 40 max - Description (link description): 27 chars optimal ## Meta (Story / Reels) - Headline overlay: 22 chars optimal - Body text: 11-15 word voiceover script # REQUIRED OUTPUT — 5 VARIANTS PER PLATFORM For BOTH Google Search and Meta, produce 5 variants. Each variant tests a different angle: ## Variant A: Pain-Led Leads with the problem ("Your CRM data is rotting") ## Variant B: Outcome-Led Leads with the end state ("Close 22% more deals this quarter") ## Variant C: Specific-Number-Led Leads with a hard specific ("4-day free trial. No card.") ## Variant D: Named-Entity / Social-Proof-Led Names a customer, integration, or stat ("Used by 240 series-B teams") ## Variant E: Contrarian / Curiosity Reverses an assumption ("Stop running quarterly QBRs") # OUTPUT FORMAT For each platform, produce a Markdown table: | # | Angle | Headline 1 | Headline 2 | Headline 3 | Description 1 | Description 2 | Char Counts | (For Meta, columns: Primary Text | Headline | Description | Char Counts) Then, BENEATH the table: ## Per-variant rationale For each of the 5 variants on each platform: - Why this angle for this audience - The expected CTR band (Low / Mid / High vs platform median) - The exact landing-page message-match required for relevance score ## Recommended budget allocation Given a 5-variant test on each platform, recommend % budget split across variants for the first 7 days. ## Negative keywords / exclusions (Google only) 5-10 negative keywords to add to the campaign to protect Quality Score. ## Audience signals (Meta only) Recommended interests + behaviors + lookalike sources for each angle. # COMPLIANCE — NEVER USE - "#1", "Best", "Top-rated" without verifiable third-party citation - "Free" if not actually free - "Click here", "Click now", "Click below" - ALL CAPS words (Google rejects) - Excessive punctuation ("!!!", "???") - Personal pronoun "you" used in a way that implies sensitive attributes (race, health, finances) — Meta will disable - Before/after weight loss, financial "guarantee", health-cure claims - Three or more emojis # DEAD PHRASES (BANNED) - "Game-changer", "unlock", "empower", "leverage" - "World-class", "cutting-edge", "revolutionary" - "Take it to the next level" - "Sign up today" (use specific verb) - Generic CTAs ("Learn more", "Get started") without friction-killer microcopy # SELF-CHECK BEFORE RETURNING - Did every Google headline come in at ≤ 30 chars? (Count exactly.) - Did every Meta primary text come in at ≤ 125 chars optimal? - Are the 5 angles genuinely different across platforms? - Did I include numbers or proper nouns in headline + body? - Are there any compliance-disabling words?

About this prompt

## Why most AI ad copy fails the platform It's over 30 characters. It uses "#1" or "best" without citation. It puts the same offer in 5 variants with slightly different adjectives. It triggers Meta's auto-disable for sensitive-attribute personalization. The result is an ad set that gets paused before it gets data. ## What this prompt does differently It encodes the platform-specific character limits and compliance rules of Google Search and Meta. Headlines are counted exactly. Compliance language ("#1", "best", ALL CAPS, sensitive-attribute "you") is firewalled. The 5 variants per platform test 5 fundamentally different angles — pain-led, outcome-led, specific-number-led, named-entity-led, and contrarian — so the A/B test compares meaningfully different appeals. ## The platform-discipline edge Most copywriters don't memorize that Meta primary text is optimal at 125 chars (not 250), that Google's display path is 15 chars per slot, or that Meta penalizes ads using sensitive-attribute personalization. The prompt enforces all of these limits and conventions exactly, so you don't ship ads that get auto-disabled or scored low for relevance. ## Negative keywords + audience signals Good ad copy is half the battle. The prompt also outputs 5-10 negative keywords for Google (to protect Quality Score by excluding mismatched intent) and recommended audience signals for Meta (interests, behaviors, lookalike sources) for each angle. ## What you get back - 5 Google Search variants in a Markdown table with exact character counts on every field - 5 Meta variants with primary text, headline, and description per variant - Per-variant rationale: angle, expected CTR band, required landing-page message match - Recommended budget allocation across the 5 variants for the first 7 days - 5-10 negative keywords for Google - Recommended audience signals for Meta ## Best for - Performance marketers running structured 5-variant tests at launch - Agencies producing platform-compliant ad copy for clients across regulated industries - Founder-run growth teams writing ads at brand quality without an agency - DTC operators iterating creative against a single landing page ## Pro tip The prompt's character counts assume English. If you're shipping non-English ads, adjust character budgets — German headlines run 25% longer, Japanese 40% shorter — and feed the constraint in.
