What your headline is built from.

A contractor ad has four parts to work with. The headline carries one or two of them and the body under it carries the rest. The table shows yours, filled in from what you typed.

Why try it
A homeowner can tell what you do and where you work in one glance.
Image idea
Show the job itself. Keep the headline clear of the busy part of the image.
Before you run it
Keep claims simple until you have evidence. Do not add ratings, credentials or promises you cannot support.

Example: the same truck, two headlines.

Take a made-up roofer in Austin. The first headline gives a homeowner nothing to go on, and the second names the job and the town. We ran the same checks on both that we run on yours.

  1. Match the job. The image, the body and the page they land on should all offer the service you named.
  2. Change one thing. Test a new headline with the same body, image, offer and audience.
  3. Count booked jobs. Track what you spend, the enquiries that come in and the work that gets booked.

Questions

Is there a character limit?

Facebook and Google set their own limits and change them. The count here is just a count. Check the ad tool before you publish.

Will these get me more leads?

Nobody can promise that. These are clear starting points to test. Run one at a time and count the jobs each one books.

Why no "best in town" or "guaranteed"?

Only say what you can show. A claim you can't back up loses trust, and ad platforms can reject it. Pick proof you can show.

Does this use AI?

No. The headlines are built in your browser from what you type. Nothing is sent anywhere until you ask for the kit.
