What is a UGC ad?

A UGC ad looks like a post from a real person: filmed on a phone, first person, talking to the camera or showing the product in their own home. The brand's hand is invisible.

When to use UGC ads

Use it for cold audiences in feeds full of personal videos. It fits products that are easy to show and explain in a few sentences.

How to make a UGC ad: 7 steps

Brief one person and one situation. Give the creator a specific customer to be and one message. A script that tries to please everyone sounds like an ad.
Hook with a personal problem or discovery. « I didn't expect this to fix… » in the first three seconds, with movement on screen. The hook chooses who keeps watching.
Feature, benefit, feeling. Each selling point goes in that order: what it is, what it does, how life feels after. One or two, not six.
Reveal and use it on camera. Unbox it or show the routine from the creator's point of view. Real hands, real room, real light.
Say when the difference showed. « After the third night… » gives the viewer a timeline they can believe.
End softly. « This is your sign » or a plain recommendation works better than a hard sell. Add captions: most people watch muted.
Film three hooks for one body. Three different openings (situation, pain, desire) on the same body triple your chances without tripling the cost.

This is the short version. In Ad Feed, « Reproduce with my AI » hands your AI the full playbook for a format with the live examples that prove each step (Pro plan). Try it free for 7 days.

How long do UGC ads run?

Half of the UGC ads we track have been live for more than 33 days. The longest-running one is from CozyBand and started 1,717 days ago. Brands turn off what loses money, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.

How are these UGC ads ranked?

Each brand's live ads are listed in Meta's Ad Library by impressions. Ad Feed records that order every day, so "#1 of 49" means the ad Meta delivers most among the brand's 49 live ads. The page shows one ad per brand, the best placed first. Meta publishes no spend or revenue, and neither do we.

Can I see every ad, not only six?

Yes. An Ad Feed account shows all of them as videos with filters by niche, format, hook and funnel stage, the transcript and creative read of each ad, and alerts when a brand you follow launches something new. It starts with a 7-day free trial.
