Hooks · Diagnostic labs
Opening lines that stop the scroll for diagnostic labs
A lab hook is information, not persuasion: fasting hours, dengue day, today's wait time, this week's price. The mistake is a stock photo of a microscope with the word quality on it, when the person scrolling is holding a prescription and simply wants to know the rate.

Using these hooks
How do I use these hooks?
A lab hook is information, not persuasion: fasting hours, dengue day, today's wait time, this week's price. The mistake is a stock photo of a microscope with the word quality on it, when the person scrolling is holding a prescription and simply wants to know the rate.
Should I use them word for word?
Use the shape, change the words. These are written for diagnostic labs generally; the version that works is the one with your own price, your own area and your own customer's actual question in it.
Do these work in Urdu?
Several have a Roman Urdu version below, and in the twin cities that version usually performs better on TikTok and Facebook. On LinkedIn, stay in English.
