## Generate ad copy that already fits the platform limits

A free ad copy generator for founders. Type your product, your audience and what they get to do, and get headlines and body text checked against Google, Meta and LinkedIn character limits.

## Ad copy generator

Fill in the three main fields. Add an offer or a proof point if you have a real one. Pick a platform and a tone, and tap any line to copy it. Each line shows its character count against the limit.

## What happens between your inputs and your headlines

### Patterns, not a black box

Every line comes from a tested ad pattern tagged direct, friendly or urgent. Your inputs fill the blanks. You can read the output and see exactly where each word came from, which makes editing fast.

### Fits the limit before you see it

Each pattern has a long version and shorter fallbacks. The generator picks the longest one that fits your platform and drops the rest, so you never paste a headline that gets cut mid-word.

### Offer and proof slots

Add an offer like a free trial and it lands in the body text and in a headline. Add a proof point, such as a press mention you actually earned, and it leads a headline and a body line.

### Runs in your browser

Nothing you type is sent to a server. There is no account, no saved draft and no email wall. Close the tab and it is gone.

*Ads and pitches share one skill*

## An ad headline is a pitch subject line with a 30 character budget

A journalist decides in about two seconds whether to open your email. A buyer scrolling a feed decides faster. Both reward the same thing: one specific promise, written for one specific person, with no filler. If you can cut your product down to a line that fits in a Google headline, you can use that line in a pitch subject too.

- Start from the verb: what does your customer get to do that they could not do yesterday?
- Name the audience in the headline. 'Founders' beats 'teams' every time you can say it.
- Use a proof point only if it is real. A press mention you earned is the strongest line you can run.
- Skip the adjectives. Every word that does not carry a fact is rent you pay out of the limit.

## Test three lines, keep one, rewrite the rest

1. **Generate and pick three** — Run the tool for each tone, copy the three lines that sound most like you, and cut anything with a claim you cannot back up.
2. **Change one thing at a time** — Keep the audience and offer fixed while you test the verb, then fix the verb and test the offer. Mixed changes teach you nothing.
3. **Run it for a week and cut** — Look at which lines get shown and clicked, kill the weakest, and write two new ones. Keep a plain log of what ran and for how long.

## Questions about the ad copy generator

### Is this ad copy generator actually free?

Yes. No sign-up, no email gate, no credit card. Type your product name, who it is for and what they get to do, pick a platform and a tone, and you get five headlines and three body texts. We built it because founders keep asking for a quick first draft before they open the ads manager, and we would rather hand it over than gate it.

### Does it use AI to write the copy?

No. It is a library of tested ad patterns, tagged by tone, filled in with your own words. That keeps the output predictable and easy to edit. The shuffle button rotates which patterns come first, so you see new angles without the random drift you get from a chatbot.

### Where do the character limits come from?

From each platform's own help pages. Google responsive search ads take headlines up to 30 characters and descriptions up to 90. Meta recommends 125 characters for primary text and 40 for the headline. LinkedIn recommends up to 150 characters for intro text. Platforms change these numbers, so check the current spec before you launch a campaign.

### Why do I sometimes get fewer than five headlines?

Every pattern has a long version and shorter fallbacks. If none of them fits the limit with your inputs, the pattern is dropped instead of being shown over the limit. A long product name or a long verb phrase is the usual cause. Shorten it and the missing lines come back.

### Will the copy get approved by Google, Meta or LinkedIn?

We cannot promise that. Every platform reviews ads against its own policies, and the proof point and offer fields only work if what you type is true. Do not claim a press mention, a discount or a result you cannot back up. Rejected ads and suspended accounts are expensive for a pre-seed budget.

### Can I reuse this copy in a press pitch?

Not as it is. Ad copy is written to make someone click. A pitch is written to make a journalist care about a story, and those are different jobs. Use the lines to sharpen your one-sentence angle, then build the pitch around what changed and why it matters now.

### Is anything I type stored or sent somewhere?

No. The copy is generated in your browser from the fields on the page. The only thing the page sends is an anonymous tool-run counter that tells us the tool was used, with none of your text in it.

## Ads buy attention. Press earns it.

Once your ad copy is tight, put the same angle in front of journalists. Press Monkey researches reporters, writes the pitch in your voice and chases the follow-up, with no agency retainer at $12K/month.
