Part 3 of 7: Creating Ads That Grab Attention

July 10, 20251 min read

If your ad doesn’t grab attention within a second or two, it’ll get lost in the scroll. Successful ads are the ones that make people stop, look, and take action.

Why it Matters

Social media is fast-paced. You have a split second to make a first impression. Strong visuals, clean text, and clear value are essential.

How to Make Your Ad Stand Out

  • Use sharp, high-quality before-and-after images

  • Choose bold headlines like “Time for a Bathroom Makeover?”

  • Keep copy short but benefit-driven: focus on what the customer gains

  • Use clear CTAs like “Request a Free Quote” or “Book a Call”

  • Experiment with short videos: tool-in-hand shots, walkthroughs, or timelapses

Don’t use stock images—use your real work! Authentic visuals always perform better.

Key Takeaway

The best ads are simple, visual, and direct. Combine compelling images with a strong message to increase engagement and leads.
