To work this out, make sure you have the 3 Sec Video View and Impressions column in your meta ad account dashboardand track this every couple of days.

There is an argument to say the HOOK RATE for META is measured off of 3 secs views while the TIKTOK HOOK RATE is measured off of 2 secs video views,since the watch time is lower on that platform.Now that you have the capacity to measure this metric you need to be testing various hooks in your ad strategy.I have some content on how to increase the HOOK output and variations with quite little effort.Check that resource right here!If your brand is scaling and trying to push past that £50k per month mark, it might be worth having a call about how our offer can handle the creative for you.Book a call here if you want to chat about it: BOOK A CALL
