Question 4

How should I test hooks for other ads?

Accepted Answer

Test 3-5 psychologically distinct hook types from this list, not variations of the same hook. For other specifically, pair a hook that addresses the "Is this the right fit for my specific use case?" objection with one that bypasses it via identity or story.
