If You Have This Problem, Don’t Ignore the First Two Hours

This is one of the best headlines to use in your google ads 👇

If you’ve got a product or service, that solves a problem…

And you can hit your reader between the eyeballs at the same time as they have that problem (like when they’re doing a search on Google)…

Then the “when problem, do this” angle could be the perfect headline.

Let’s say you do a search on Google for back pain, and you see a headline which reads…

When you suffer from back pain, press this pressure point on your spine

Don’t you want to read more?

Likewise, if you’re doing a search for wet carpet…

How about an ad that says:

If you have wet carpet, don’t do this in the first 2 hours

Again, it’s hard to ignore.

Or how about if you’re doing a search to buy a barbell for your home gym – and see an ad like this:

If you’re looking for a barbell, check for these 3 things first

Again, hard to resist.

So with this in mind…

What problem does your product solve?

And how could you apply this to your advertising?
