Our campaigns don't convert

By

When campaigns bring clicks but not customers, the break is usually between the ad and what happens after it. Check that the audience, the promise in the ad and the landing page all match, then test them one at a time.

Our campaigns don't convert

Problem

The campaigns get clicks. The clicks do not become customers.

Traffic arrives, the cost per click looks fine, and then almost nobody signs up or buys. The team changes ads, changes budgets and changes agencies, and the result stays the same.

Every month of this is budget spent on visitors who were never going to convert.

Insight

Most campaigns fail after the click, not before it.

An ad makes a promise to a specific person. If the landing page does not repeat that promise, speak to that person and make the next step easy, the visit ends there.

Fixing conversion means checking the whole path, from who sees the ad to what they find when they land.

How we approach it

We trace the path from ad to customer and fix the weakest link.

  1. We check that targeting, ad message and landing page are aimed at the same buyer.
  2. We find where visitors drop, using real session and funnel data.
  3. We test one change at a time on the step losing the most people.

Spend starts buying customers, not just visits.
