5 signs your ad budget is leaking

Rising costs and quiet phones are symptoms. Here’s where to look before you spend another dollar.

5 signs your ad budget is leaking

Ads can look healthy in a dashboard while your calendar stays empty. These are the most common reasons.

  1. 01

    No conversion tracking

    If you can’t see which ads bring calls and forms, you can’t improve them.

  2. 02

    Targeting is too broad

    Showing ads outside your service area or to the wrong audience.

  3. 03

    Weak landing pages

    Sending paid traffic to a generic homepage with no clear next step.

  4. 04

    Irrelevant search terms

    Paying for searches that have nothing to do with what you sell.

  5. 05

    Set and forget

    Campaigns that haven’t been reviewed in months.

What a healthy account looks like

  • Every lead tied to its source
  • Clear cost per lead and per booking
  • Regular reviews and small improvements
Don’t spend more until you know where the current budget is going.
