-
StopDo people stop scrolling for your ad?
People scroll straight past.
- It looks like
- Plenty of people reached, few who watch past the first second or two. Ads that could belong to any brand. The same few ads running for months.
- Usually because
- The ad doesn't earn attention in the first second, and too few creative ideas are being tried to find one that does.
- What we'd check first
- How many different ideas you're running, and what each ad shows in its first second on a phone.
-
ClickDo they tap through?
They watch, then move on.
- It looks like
- Views and likes, but few clicks. Or clicks from people who were never going to buy.
- Usually because
- The ad doesn't say what's in it for the viewer, the offer is vague, or it's shown to too broad an audience.
- What we'd check first
- Whether each ad makes one clear promise to one clear audience, and who is actually clicking.
-
ConsiderDo they look around, chat or call?
They arrive, and leave.
- It looks like
- Clicks, then short visits. Few add-to-carts, WhatsApp chats, calls or enquiries.
- Usually because
- The page is slow on a phone, doesn't match what the ad promised, or makes the next step hard to find.
- What we'd check first
- Your landing page on a mid-range phone over mobile data, and whether there's one obvious thing to do next.
-
BuyDo they become paying customers?
Interest that never pays.
- It looks like
- Carts, chats and enquiries that don't turn into sales. Or sales you can't trace back to the ad that brought them.
- Usually because
- Friction at checkout, slow replies to enquiries, or sales that aren't tracked to ads, so budget keeps going to the wrong ones.
- What we'd check first
- Whether every sale, chat and booking is recorded against the ad that started it, and how fast enquiries get an answer.
-
ReturnDo they come back?
One sale, then silence.
- It looks like
- Steady first orders, few repeat customers, and always paying again to find new ones.
- Usually because
- There's no plan for what happens after the first sale, and existing customers aren't counted or spoken to.
- What we'd check first
- How many customers buy a second time, and what they hear from you between their first and second purchase.
Then that's the leak.
