Erich Detert (Sr. Performance Marketing Manager at InnoGames) talks about ad copy often being a missed opportunity for marketers and shares the impact of ad copy on key metrics based on his experiments.
Ad copy can be broken down in 3 types:
1. Clicky - "Try this game for three minutes and see why everyone is hooked!” or “The must-play game of the year.”
2. Representative - “Journey through the ages in this award-winning, city-building game.”
Balanced, a mix of the two - “The must-play, city-building game of the year.“
Balanced ad copy is a good middle ground.
- Clicky ads have seen 20% higher CTRs vs. representative ads, but average to lower CVRs.
- Representative ads have higher CVRs (at least 10% higher) and higher engagement rates post-conversion.
It can be important to have an alignment/affinity between your ad and your App Store listing if you want to increase your conversion rate: the ad gets the customer intrigued and in the door and the App Store is where the final sale takes place.
While ad copy has less effect on video ads (up to +5% higher CTR with more clicky language and up to +5% higher conversion rates with more representative language), text length under 10 words has shown increases in CTR, CVR and IPM of up to 6% (for each KPI).
The focal point of your ad copy should be to use text that builds a sense of urgency or elicits an emotional response.

The more wordy the text, the lower the CTR. Text gets truncated if it's longer than three lines.
His longest ad texts is 18 words long, and it has one of the lowest clickthrough rates and CPAs up to 30% higher. However they see good ROAS because the longer copy acts as a pre-qualifier.
