Draft a demand gen image pack for our CRM.

  1. Pulled the offerCRM for VP RevOps, onboarding fix
  2. Named the hook"12 hires. 4-week onboarding. 38% attrition."
  3. Named the proof"Peer cut onboarding to 2 weeks, attrition to 12%"
  4. Named the CTA"Start the 2-week fix"

The pack named the hook ("12 hires. 4-week onboarding. 38% attrition."), the proof ("Peer cut onboarding to 2 weeks, attrition to 12%"), and the CTA ("Start the 2-week fix"). The 7-image pack earned a 2.1% CTR, up from 0.6% on the prior stock upload. The template earned the click because it named the hook, not uploaded the stock.

A Google demand gen template is the draft that earns the click. It fixes the hook, the proof, and the CTA — so the images read as a nudge, not a notice. A paid lead who uploads the stock earns the scroll; a Google demand gen template that names the hook and the proof earns the click and the conversion.

What is a Google demand gen template?

What hook does a Google demand gen template name?

The one line that earns the scroll — the pain, the benefit, the question — that earns the click. The hook is the part that earns the click, because a paid lead who uploads the stock earns the scroll; a paid lead who names the hook earns the click.

What proof does a Google demand gen template name?

The one signal the prospect trusts — the metric, the case study, the quote — that earns the click. The proof is the part that earns the click, because a hook without the proof earns the scroll and loses the click; a hook with the proof earns the conversion.

What CTA does a Google demand gen template name?

The one action the prospect takes — the try, the see, the start — that earns the conversion. The CTA is the part that earns the conversion, because a hook without the CTA earns the click and loses the conversion; a hook with the CTA earns the ROAS.

Name the one hook, the one proof, and the one CTA. The images read as a nudge, not a notice, which is why they earn the click, not the scroll.

What is Google demand gen?

The format that earns the click across YouTube, Discover, and Gmail — the hook, the proof, the CTA. A paid lead who uploads the stock earns the scroll; a paid lead who names the hook and the proof earns the click and the conversion.

How many images should a demand gen pack have?

Five to seven, not one. A pack with one image earns the fatigue; a pack with five earns the test, because the hook is what earns the click and the hook needs the variants.

A hook that earns the scroll, a proof that earns the click, and a CTA that earns the conversion. The pack that uploads earns the scroll; the pack that names the hook earns the click.
