How to create AI UGC ads (step-by-step)

  1. Step 1

    Set one campaign objective

    Choose one goal first: acquisition, retargeting, or conversion. One clear goal keeps scripts and hooks aligned.

  2. Step 2

    Write a direct script

    Open with a visible problem, show the product context, then close with one CTA the viewer can act on immediately.

  3. Step 3

    Generate variants

    Ship multiple hook and angle variants in the same batch so media buyers can test winners in one launch window.

  4. Step 4

    Review and launch

    Keep only launch-ready outputs, tag each variant by angle, and move the approved set into Meta and TikTok tests.

Cost and turnaround comparison

Some managed UGC creator services still quote up to $500+/video and around 10-12 business days for delivery. AI UGC workflows compress script-to-render cycles so teams can learn faster from live campaigns.
