Best Prompts for Writing Ads That Sell: Ready Templates
The best prompts for writing ads on Facebook, Instagram and Google with ChatGPT or Claude: ready templates and a simple brief to write clearer ads faster.
Looking for the best prompts for writing ads? There is no single magic line. What works is giving ChatGPT or Claude a clear brief about the product, the audience, the problem and the offer, asking for several versions with different angles, then picking and testing. Below you will find ready templates you can copy and adapt to your product.
Why Do Most AI Written Ads Feel Weak?
Usually the request is the problem. "Write an ad for a skincare product" forces the assistant to guess everything, so you get tired lines like "discover the secret of beauty" that people scroll past. A good ad talks to a specific person about a specific problem in their own words. Your real work is collecting that information first. The AI then speeds up the wording and suggests angles you may have missed.
What to prepare before any prompt
- Product: what it is, what it does, what genuinely sets it apart.
- Audience: age, interests, location, rough budget.
- Problem: the pain it solves.
- Main objection: price, trust, delivery or something else.
- Offer: the reason to act now, with no false promises.
- Platform: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or Google Search.
The Core Prompt Template for Any Ad
Act as an experienced direct response copywriter. Product: [two line description]. Audience: [description]. Problem it solves: [problem]. Strongest true benefit: [benefit]. Likely objection: [objection]. Platform: [platform]. Write 5 ad variations, each with a different angle (problem and solution, short story, question, before and after, social proof without invented numbers). Each needs a short headline, body under 80 words and one clear call to action.
Asking for five angles matters because you cannot know in advance which one your audience will respond to.
Add: "Do not use clichés such as unlock the secret or do not miss out." The copy instantly feels fresher.
Ready Templates by Platform
Facebook and Instagram
Write 3 Instagram ad versions for [product] aimed at [audience]. The first line must stop the scroll without exaggeration, followed by two lines on the benefit in everyday language and a single call to action. Suggest an image or short video idea for each.
Google Search ads
Write 10 headlines under 30 characters and 4 descriptions under 90 characters for a search ad about [service]. Use these keywords naturally: [keywords]. Focus on buying intent and make no claim that is not in my brief.
Short video script
Write a 20 second TikTok script for [product], split into scenes: a 3 second hook, the problem, the solution and a call to action. Put spoken lines and on screen text in two separate columns.
Retargeting
A visitor viewed [product] but did not buy. Write 3 short ads that calmly address the objection [objection], each ending with a different call to action.
From Prompt to Published Ad: Step by Step
- Write the brief in one paragraph.
- Ask for 5 to 10 variations with different angles.
- Ask it to rank them from the view of a sceptical customer and explain why.
- Edit by hand and remove anything inaccurate or any promise you cannot keep.
- Test two or three versions with the same budget.
- Feed the winner back and ask for new variations on that angle.
ChatGPT or Claude for Ad Copy?
Both can write strong ads. The difference often comes down to which writing style suits you and your product, and that varies from person to person. Send the same prompt to both and compare on your own product. For a broader view, read our comparison of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. If the ad needs visuals, continue with our ready prompts for professional AI images.
Keep Your Ads Credible
- Never let the assistant invent reviews or sales figures. Say so in the prompt.
- Every claim must be true and provable.
- Check the ad platform's policies, since exaggerated wording can get ads rejected.
- Write in your audience's language, not textbook marketing language.

FAQ
What is the best prompt for a Facebook ad?
One that describes the product, audience, problem and objection precisely and asks for several angles with a word limit and a single call to action.
Can AI write ads in a local dialect?
Yes. Name the dialect, share one or two examples of the tone you like, and review the result so it sounds natural.
How many versions should I ask for?
Five to ten is a good range. Then test the best two or three for real instead of relying on gut feeling.
Can an AI written ad get rejected?
Platforms review the content itself, so exaggerated or non compliant claims can be rejected regardless of who wrote them. Review before publishing.
