The longest-running ad from each advertiser, in its own words. Nobody keeps paying to deliver a Facebook ad that is not working, so these are the ones to copy first.

Every creative, with its copy, format and run length
44 percent ask for the lead on Facebook itself, with a form, a message or a call, instead of sending people to a website.
3 percent open with a question, 26 percent put a number in the first line, and 2 percent lead with an emoji.
People do not book a service, they book a job: one room, one driveway, one visit. The ads that fill a calendar name that job and put an offer beside it, a price, a free quote, or a slot this week. 10 percent of the gyms and fitness ads here lead with a price in the ad.
The result is the creative. A before-and-after, the finished job, or a short clip of the work being done stops the scroll faster than a logo or a team photo. In this category video ads lead.
Set a radius around the towns you work in and let Meta find the homeowners inside it. Name the town in the copy: a local name in the first line tells the reader this ad is for them.
"Learn more" is the most used button on these ads. Use a call button, an instant form or a booking link, and answer every lead within minutes. The shop that calls back first gets the job.
The median gyms and fitness ad here stayed up 27 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
