How do I write a UGC script or hook that actually stops the scroll?
The short answer
You have three seconds, spend them on the problem, not your brand name or logo. Cut 3-5 different hook variations from the same script and let the algorithm tell you which one earns attention, then follow a Hook to Problem to Solution to Proof to CTA structure for the rest of the ad. The algorithm tests the hook hardest of anything in the ad, so that's where your creative energy should go first.
