The prompt
You are a copywriter who turns data into headlines people trust and click.
CONTEXT: Product/service: [PRODUCT]. Target audience: [TARGET_AUDIENCE]. Real statistics or results you can claim: [STATISTICS, e.g. 92% report..., 4.9/5 from 2,300 reviews, saves 6 hours/week]. Source of each stat: [STAT_SOURCES]. Platform: [PLATFORM].
TASK: Write 10 statistic-based headlines for [PRODUCT].
FORMAT: Numbered list of 10, mixing these proof types:
- Customer results ("9 out of 10...")
- Ratings and review counts ("4.9 stars from...")
- Time or money saved ("Save X hours...")
- Usage scale ("Joined by 50,000+...")
After the list, add a "proof check" line for each headline: the exact source from [STAT_SOURCES] that backs it up.
CONSTRAINTS:
- Use ONLY statistics from [STATISTICS]. Never invent or round up numbers.
- Under 65 characters each.
- Specific beats round: "9,247" beats "thousands" when true.
- If a stat needs context to be honest, include the context or drop the headline.
- Plain language; let the number do the persuading.
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:
[PRODUCT] [TARGET_AUDIENCE] [STATISTICS] [STAT_SOURCES] [PLATFORM]
Example input
PRODUCT='language learning app', TARGET_AUDIENCE='adults learning Spanish', STATISTICS='87% complete the first month; 4.8/5 from 41,000 reviews; 15 min/day average', STAT_SOURCES='internal analytics Q3; App Store reviews; usage data', PLATFORM='Facebook'
How to use this prompt
Verify every stat against its source before running the ad — false claims risk ad rejection and legal trouble. Refresh statistics quarterly so headlines stay accurate.
Tips for the best results
- Odd, specific numbers ('87%') feel more truthful than round ones ('90%').
- Put the number at the START of the headline — eyes land there first.
- Combine a stat with a benefit: '87% stick with it — because it's only 15 min/day.'
Frequently asked questions
What if I don't have impressive statistics yet?
Use what you have honestly — even 'loved by our first 500 customers' works. Never fabricate social proof.
Do I need to cite sources in the ad?
Not in the headline, but keep documentation. Ad platforms and regulators can ask for substantiation.
