Understand Your Customer

Your ad copy is only as good as your understanding of your customer. Ask yourself:

• What problems do they want to solve?
• What outcomes are they hoping to achieve?

For example, if you’re targeting small business owners, highlight how your product saves them time or increases their revenue.
