Feed 10-20 Reddit threads to Claude to write ads in your audience's words
His standard process; no numbers

What they did
1) Find 10-20 high-engagement Reddit threads in the niche (anonymous, candid writing; comment volume signals importance); also your and competitors' app reviews and social comment sections. 2) Feed them to Claude and ask it to identify sub-audiences by language patterns, pain points, desires, and to note vivid emotional language and transformations. 3) Pick ~5 sub-audiences and have Claude write a separate context file for each. 4) Add a product context file (what it does, features, social proof, awards). 5) Prompt for e.g. three highly distinct text hooks, or paste a competitor text wall and ask for one in the same style/length using your audience's pain points. Without this context LLM copy is generic 'marketing blah blah'.
