Write ad copy with variations
The Ad copy card in the launcher: required fields, variations, and applying copy to some or all ads.
Open the Ad copy card
In Launch Ads, step 3, the Ad copy card sits below the Creatives list. Its header shows “X of N ads ready”.
Fill the required fields
Primary text, at least one Headline, a Destination URL (full
https://…address; recently used URLs are suggested) and a Call to action are required. Descriptions are optional. When the account has a UTM template it is shown under the URL.Add variations
Click + Add variation under Primary text, Headlines or Descriptions for up to 5 each. Meta serves them as variants of the same ad. Combined-format ads allow one variation per field.
Apply the copy
Click Apply to all ads, or tick creatives in the list and use the caret to choose Apply to selected ads. Empty fields are left unchanged on the target ads, so you can apply in layers.
Optionally attach a product set
Under Product set, choose a catalog and product set to show catalog items with the ad.
Good to know
- Ads built from existing posts keep their own copy; applying copy skips them.
- Use the Ad copy library menu to load account defaults, saved templates, or copy from ads active in the account.
