How long is a problem-solution ad?

Ours run about 15 to 20 seconds: a hook, the problem, the product, a short demo, the result and a call to action. Reels and Stories viewers decide in the first second or two, so the hook carries the most weight.

Do I need video footage of my product?

No. RhythmAds builds most scenes from the photos on your product page with motion templates, and uses an AI-generated clip only where the format calls for one. Every AI-generated ad is labeled as AI-generated.

Can I change the problem the ad talks about?

Yes. You see the storyboard with the script under every scene before anything is made, and you can rewrite any line or ask for changes in plain words.

A drawing of the layout, not a real ad.

When it works

Your product fixes a specific, visible annoyance people recognize right away.
You can show the fix on screen rather than only describe it.
Your audience is scrolling past ads that only show the product, and needs a reason to stop.

Example hooks

Illustrative

Opening lines written for made-up products, to show the shape. Yours are written from your own product page.

“Still untangling cables every morning?”
“Your coffee goes cold before you finish it”
“Packing for a weekend shouldn't take an hour”

We only show real ads here, with permission from the brand that ran them, and we're still collecting them. The quickest way to see what this looks like is a free storyboard for your product: paste your link above.

Keep it honest

Show the problem honestly and don't overstate the fix. Cure, weight-loss and income claims are flagged before an ad can be finished.
