    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an ad hook?

    The hook is the first one to three seconds of an ad — the line, visual, or question that decides whether someone keeps watching. On short-form platforms it carries most of an ad's performance.

    How many hooks should I test at once?

    Test distinct angles, not wording tweaks. Three to five genuinely different hooks on the same body gives a clearer answer than ten near-identical lines.

    Do hooks differ by platform?

    Yes. TikTok rewards native, creator-style openings; Meta feeds tolerate more polished visuals; YouTube pre-roll needs the hook before the skip button appears.
