Ad copy
Make the ad say the thing your site already proved.
Good ad copy usually starts with evidence the business already has: an offer, a guarantee, a service area, a brand relationship, a tenure claim, a review signal. The audit finds what the current ads are not using.
What this covers
Turn existing proof into better ads.
The page often has better copy than the ad account does.
What breaks
Generic ads waste proof the business already earned.
- The homepage leads with an offer the ads never mention.
- The ad says 'quality service' while the site has specific proof.
- Every ad group uses the same broad copy.
- Assets exist but do not carry the best trust signals.
- Competitors make clearer promises on the same search.
- The ad promise and landing page promise do not line up.
How it proves itself
The audit ties copy advice to public evidence.
Site proof. The source claim is visible on the business site.
Ad comparison. The live ad either uses it or does not.
SERP context. Competitor messaging shows the standard on that query.
Rewrite direction. The fix points to an ad, asset, or landing-page match.
Repeat check. Strong findings come from patterns, not one impression.
How I think about it
Ad copy is a matching problem before it is a writing problem.
I do not start by trying to sound clever. I start by finding the strongest true thing the business can say for that query. Then the ad has one job: carry that proof into the search result without making the landing page feel like a bait-and-switch.
The labels are technical. The decisions are not.
| Signal | What it tells you | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Site proof | The strongest public claim | Keeps ad copy grounded in something true. |
| Current ad | What the searcher sees now | Shows whether the proof is being used. |
| Search intent | What the query implies | Prevents generic copy from serving every ad group. |
| Rewrite target | Where the fix should land | Turns critique into an executable change. |
