Goal

Write an opening where line 1 picks the reader, line 2 earns the read, and the whole thing fits their awareness level.

Why it matters

Your headline or hook stopped the scroll. The is what comes right after: the first lines of your ad’s text, or the first few short paragraphs under your page’s headline. It has one job: get them to read the next part. Not to sell, and not to tell them who you are. Most local ads waste it on “Family owned since 2009”, and the reader is gone before line 3.
