Ad Hook Grader

Paste your ad's headline or opening line into Improve My Ads' Ad Hook Grader. Get an instant score on whether it actually stops a scroll, checked against behavioral principles like Loss Aversion, Specificity, and Pattern Interrupt — the same lens vocabulary used in the full ad audit — not grammar or SEO.

0/300

This grades one line in isolation, and it's only one of six things we check. Want the full picture: copy, offer, visuals, and the platform it's actually running on?

FAQ
What does the Ad Hook Grader's score actually mean?

It's a 0-100 read on one thing: whether this specific line would stop a scrolling stranger, checked against behavioral-psychology principles like Loss Aversion, Specificity, and Pattern Interrupt — the same principle vocabulary Improve My Ads' full audit uses. 70+ is a strong hook, 40-69 needs work, below 40 is likely to lose the scroll before the rest of the ad gets a chance.

Is the Ad Hook Grader free forever?

Yes. It's rate-limited (a handful of headlines per hour) to keep it sustainable, but there's no sign-in, no card, and no paid tier for this specific tool.

How is this different from the full Improve My Ads audit?

This grades one line, in isolation, on hook strength alone. The full audit runs six lenses — Behavioral Psychology, Platform & Media Buying, Copywriting & Messaging, Offer & Value Proposition, Visual Design & Creative Craft, and Conversion & Funnel (CRO) — on the entire ad (copy, offer, visuals, and platform fit together), not just the opening line.

Why isn't my hook scored higher if it's grammatically correct?

The grader isn't checking grammar or SEO — a perfectly correct sentence with no specific claim, no reason to stop scrolling, and no pattern interrupt will still score low. It's scored on scroll-stop psychology, not writing quality.
