## FAQ

### Why are video hooks so important?

On TikTok, Reels, and Shorts the first three seconds decide whether viewers keep watching or scroll past. A strong hook directly drives watch time, which is what the algorithm rewards. Testing several hooks per video is one of the highest-leverage things a creator can do — this tool gives you 10 to choose from.

### What makes a good hook?

Good hooks use a clear pattern: a bold claim, a curiosity gap, a callout to a specific audience, a surprising number, or a contrarian take. They are short and front-load the most interesting idea. The generator deliberately varies these patterns so you can pick the angle that fits your video.

### Is the hook generator free?

Yes — free, no sign-up, within fair-use limits.
