More about this formula
One thing to test: Show your product in use in a real setting, well lit, one clean photograph.

3 advertisers · up to 86 days · 50k+ sites
The reader sees the result before reading a word.

- EmotionHope
- PersuasionProof you can see
More about this formula
One thing to test: Make your own before/after in the same form: your product, a real-looking customer, an honest result.
What the pictures show: Side-by-side or split images that promise a clear ‘before’ problem and an improved ‘after’ result any product can claim, using direct visual contrast to suggest dramatic change.
On the networks: These are running on the networks right now, so a before/after in the same form is fair game. Keep it honest and no more extreme than the ones already running.
A real ad using it that week · +4 more Close-up of the problem area
3 advertisers · up to 38 days · 38.4k+ sites
A close look at the problem makes readers check their own.
- Hook“Is that me?”
- EmotionWorry, then relief
- PersuasionLiking and similarity: their problem is mine
More about this formula
One thing to test: Show the same kind of close-up for the problem your product solves, at the same strength as the ads already running.
What the pictures show: Tight shots that zoom in on the painful or visible body part (ankle, foot, abdomen, joints) so viewers instantly recognize the issue the product treats.
On the networks: Close-ups like these are running right now, so the same kind of shot is fair game. Keep it no more graphic than the ones already running: nothing gory, nothing sexual.
A real ad using it that week · +4 more Documentary/expert portrait
3 advertisers · up to 70 days · 41.2k+ sites
A credible person explaining something lends authority without saying a word.
- HookSomeone who knows
- EmotionReassurance
- PersuasionAuthority
More about this formula
One thing to test: Show a real-looking specialist in their workplace, mid-explanation, not a celebrity or a stock smile.
What the pictures show: Serious, interview-style portraits or on-screen expert shots that lend authority and credibility through a ‘news/doctor’ aesthetic anyone can reproduce.
On the networks: No celebrities or recognisable real people, and no fake news layouts.

Using an older week
A winning formula that kept running for several weeks is stronger evidence than one that showed up once. Check whether it is still running on the latest health and wellness page before you build on it, or see the winning formulas that kept winning the longest. Make your own version for your product, never another advertiser’s pictures, names or claims.
