The problem
Most small and mid-sized brands run ads without proper tracking. Meta or Google says a campaign "worked", but nobody can say how many orders it brought in. Budgets go to whatever got the most clicks, which often isn't what brings in sales.
Where the money leaks
- Broad targeting: ads reach people who will never buy.
- No conversion tracking: without the Pixel, Conversions API and GA4 events, the algorithm optimizes for clicks instead of customers.
- Tired creatives: the same ad running for weeks gets more expensive every day.
How I fix it
I set up tracking first, so every rupee or dollar ties back to a lead or sale. Then I test audiences and creatives side by side, use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to produce fresh ad variations quickly, and move budget each week toward the ads with the lowest cost per lead.
