Hi guys, quick question.  I recently started working with a clients who’s ad account never produced any results.Hi guys, quick question. I recently started working with a clients who’s ad account never produced any results. I mean in 2 years, since the account was created 5k was spent, but never did he get any conversions. He has a new product and i have spent a couple of hundreds but did not get any results. Of course there is an option my targeting is off or my creative is, but would you suggest to have a clean start - new ad account or this doesn’t matter and i need to focus more on my targeting and creatives? Thx ✌

Check the landing page and the funnel. That's where I would start

He needs to be doing email, SEO, organic social, etc or the ads will be forever doomed

Does your client have any website traffic outside of Facebook? Are you running video ads or Image ads?

@mohl636 he is starting an influencer IG campaign, but beside that - no. I run video, image, carousel, . ads

So it's all depending on the offer and how you have the funnel set up but with my experience using facebook ads what i have found works the best for me is running short (15-30 second) video ads and retargeting video views. The layout I use is a 3x3 video grid: First 3 Videos are "The Why - Awareness", second 3 are "The How - Engagement", third 3 are "The What - Conversion".

Have seo traffic that you can retarget and throw into the sequence helps out big time tho.

I would pay more attention to market research: • Competitors • Other products ▪︎ Pricing • Offer (big time here) • Message • Target audience Before even thinking about any ads, creative, or campaigns. A painter spend a lot of time preparing the surface before opening the can of paint.

If they purchased $5k of crap data on a product that is completely relevant to what he is selling now I would definitely launch a new account and pixels. it takes 5 minutes and it's free
