01

Hook & Attention

Whether the creative earns attention in the first 1-2 seconds. Pattern interrupts, audience signalling, thumb-stop triggers.

Scores highA bold, unexpected visual that immediately communicates who this ad is for. The viewer knows within one glance whether this is relevant.
Scores lowA stock-photo aesthetic that dissolves into the feed. No contrast, no specificity, no reason for a thumb to stop.

02

Visual Hierarchy

Where the eye lands first, second, third. Whether the product is the hero. Readability at mobile scale.

Scores highA single clear focal point with supporting elements where the eye naturally travels. Readable on a phone without zooming.
Scores lowMultiple competing elements of equal visual weight. Text over busy backgrounds. Key information cropped on mobile.

03

Messaging & Copy

Whether on-creative copy matches the audience's awareness level. Specificity of the value proposition.

Scores highCopy that speaks to a specific person at a specific stage. Numbers and proof over adjectives.
Scores lowGeneric benefit claims that could apply to any product. Features without connecting to outcomes.

04

Persuasion & Psychology

Which psychological triggers are present. Social proof, urgency, scarcity, authority, loss aversion, anchoring, identity, reciprocity.

Scores highMultiple triggers layered naturally. The tool flags when only one is present and suggests the next to layer.
Scores lowZero triggers beyond the product image. Or a single weak trigger with no specificity.

05

Call to Action

Whether a CTA exists, is visible without scrolling, uses strong specific language, and matches the funnel stage.

Scores highVisually distinct, active verb specific to the action, appropriate for the campaign objective.
Scores lowNo visible CTA in the creative. Or a generic 'Learn More' on a purchase campaign.

06

Platform & Format Fit

Whether the creative looks native to its target platform. Aspect ratio, sound-off readability, captions, safe zones.

Scores highFeels like it belongs in the feed. Aspect ratio optimized. Video works without sound.
Scores lowA landscape banner repurposed for a story placement. Video that relies on audio with no captions.

07

Offer-Creative Alignment

Whether the visual creative communicates the offer. Could someone understand the deal from the image alone?

Scores highThe offer is front and centre. The creative and the offer are the same message.
Scores lowThe creative shows the product beautifully, but the discount only appears in the caption.

08

Brand & Trust Signals

Whether the creative builds enough trust for a first-time buyer. Brand consistency, production quality, trust badges.

Scores highPolished enough for the price point. Trust signals visible: guarantee, reviews, press mentions.
Scores lowCheap-looking creative selling a premium product. No trust signals for cold audiences.
