Vortex 3.0 drops tonight. Tap before your size walks. 48h only.
7
out of 10
StrongVerdict
Confident DTC ad with a clear BOGO offer and strong visual hierarchy. The lime accent pops against the black background and the 48h window adds real urgency. Missing price and social proof hold this back from a 9.
Solid Evidence
- BOGO is a concrete offer, not a vague "sale". Clear value perception in one glance
- 48H ONLY stamp with a specific window creates real urgency
- Clean hero product shot with lime glow, stops the scroll in feed
- Lime accent on black is distinctive and premium, avoids generic sale-red
- Short, punchy copy fits mobile reading
Red Flags
- criticalNo price shown. Users need to see the actual cost to evaluate BOGO
Add "Was $149 / Now 2-for-$149" or similar anchor to quantify the offer
- majorZero social proof. No reviews, ratings, or customer count
Add "4.8★ from 2,400+ runners" near the BOGO stamp or under the product
- major"Vortex 3.0" is an empty product name. No tech specs
Mention one concrete feature, like "CloudFoam cushioning" or "380g ultralight"
- minor"Before your size walks" is clever but generic
Test a specific line: "Half our sizes sold out in 4h last time"
No pixel, no account connections, no setup. A screenshot is enough, from any platform.

FAQ
Before you ask
How does AdsDetective analyze my ads?
It checks the same things a senior media buyer would: does the hook stop the scroll, is the offer clear, does the visual fight the copy, does the CTA match what you’re asking for. Then it scores each area and tells you what to change first.
What platforms do you support?
All of them. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google, LinkedIn, X. If you can screenshot it, we can audit it.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Uploads are encrypted, retained only while your account is active (deleted within 90 days of account deletion), and never shared. Fully GDPR compliant.
Can I try it for free?
Sign up for free and get 3 free investigation credits to try the full experience. After that, subscribe to Mini ($5.99/mo for 10 investigations) or buy a credit pack ($5 for 10).
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?
We built a specialized pipeline for ad creatives. You get structured scoring, visual analysis (not just text), benchmark comparisons, and three rewritten versions instead of a wall of generic advice.
Will it tell me why people scroll past my ad?
Yes. Hook Detector reviews your ad the way a media buyer would: does anything here earn a stop in a crowded feed? It grades your hook on a four-band scale — Weak, Decent, Strong, or Elite — identifies which hook type you’re using, and gives specific improvements. For video ads, it reviews first-frame hook strength and pacing. An AI can’t measure a half-second human glance, so we grade against proven direct-response patterns instead of faking a decimal.
Can I analyze competitor ads?
Yes. Stakeout mode lets you upload a competitor's ad for forensic teardown. You get their hook strategy, emotional triggers, and an "Inspired Remix" rewrite using their winning elements in your brand voice.
Can it predict which of two ad variants will win?
Upload two variants and the Detective compares them on 12 criteria, then gives you a straight verdict: Clear winner, Leans A (or B), or Too close — run the real test. When one variant is obviously weaker, you’ll know before spending a dollar. When they’re genuinely close, it tells you that too. One credit instead of $50–200 in test spend.
I don’t have an ad yet — can it write one for me?
Yes. Upload a product photo and you get 5 complete ad angles, each with a hook, headline, body copy, CTA, and visual direction. Five different strategies: Pain Point, Social Proof, Urgency, Comparison, and Lifestyle.
Do you generate marketplace listings?
Yes. Upload a product photo and get SEO-optimized listings for Amazon, Allegro, eBay, Etsy, and Shopify: 3 title variants, full description, bullet points, tags, and an SEO score. On Mini you pick 1 marketplace per listing (1 credit). On Detective+ you can generate for all 5 at once (still 1 credit).
How do credits work?
Most actions cost 1 credit: ad audit, ad brief, A/B prediction, single-marketplace listing, campaign strategy. Higher-cost actions: carousel analysis (2 credits), video analysis (3 credits, since frame extraction is expensive), multi-marketplace listing on Mini (1 credit per platform). Credits reset monthly on paid plans, or buy packs that never expire ($5 for 10).
