Most ads that don't convert have a brand or landing page problem, not an ad problem. If the page people land on doesn't match the ad or doesn't build trust fast, they leave. Fix what happens after the click before you spend more.
1. Check what happens after the click
Your ad's job is to get the click. Your page's job is to get the yes. If people tap your ad and land on a slow page, a messy profile or a website that doesn't match the ad, they bounce.
2. Your offer isn't clear
People should know in three seconds what you're offering, who it's for and what to do next. If they have to guess, they scroll.
3. Your targeting is too broad or too narrow
Too broad and you pay to reach people who'll never buy. Too narrow and the algorithm can't learn. Start with a clear picture of your best customer and test from there.
4. Your creative looks like everyone else's
If your ad could belong to any brand in your industry, it won't stop anyone's scroll. Your visuals and copy should look and sound unmistakably like you.
5. Your brand isn't ready yet
Ads amplify what's already there. If your brand looks unfinished or inconsistent, ads just show that to more people. Brand first, then budget.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I spend on Meta Ads?
Start with a test budget you're comfortable learning with, then scale what works. The right budget depends on your goals and market, which is why we set it after a Discovery Call.
How long before Meta Ads start working?
Give a campaign enough time and data before judging it, usually a few weeks. Changing everything after two days resets the learning and wastes budget.
