What is Ad Copy?

Ad copy is the content in an advertisement that prompts a potential customer to take a specific action, such as buying a product after viewing it. Specifically, it is created to deliver clear and concise messages, effective language, specific words, and a catchy call to action are major components of good ad copy. 

Example of Ad Copy

An online apparel company wants to promote sales of its summer line.

• Ad Copy A (Control): “Shop NEW Summer Collection”
• Ad Copy B (Variant): “UPGRADE Your Summer Style – Flat 20% Off on all Trending Outfits!”

Both versions are displayed to different users, and metrics like click-through rate and conversions are tracked.

If Ad Copy B gets more purchases and clicks, it shows that benefit-driven, discount-focused ad copy drives sales and attracts more customers.
