Social Ads & Social Strategy

If social ads aren’t converting, you don’t “need a new audience.”  Maybe your agency has you chasing novelty, confusing engagement with demand, or sending paid traffic to a weak landing page.

 

You usually need a clearer offer, more disciplined creative iteration, and a landing page that earns the click.

 

This page shows how to diagnose the real issue.  So you stop burning budget.

social ads troubleshooting funnel: offer, creative, targeting, landing page, follow-up

What do I fix first when Facebook or Instagram ads aren’t working?

Answer: Fix in this exact order:

  1. Offer clarity (who it’s for, what outcome, why believe you)
     

  2. Creative iteration (volume + variation, not one “winner”)
     

  3. Targeting inputs (signals and structure, not random interests)
     

  4. Landing page friction (speed, proof, CTA, form)
     

  5. Follow-up system (speed-to-lead + sequence)

How do I know if my agency is guessing on social ads?

Answer: If you see these, they’re guessing:

  • They can’t explain results by creative theme

  • They can’t show what they tested this month

  • They report engagement instead of qualified actions

  • They never talk about landing page conversion
