Stop Throwing Money at Ads: The Simple Fix for Low Conversion Rates
If your conversion rate is flatlining, you're not failing at ads—you're failing at the follow-through. Conversions aren't a function of spend; they're a function of trust and clarity after the click. The simple fix is Conversion Rate Optimization (C.R.O.), which closes the Click-to-Conversion Gap by ensuring the ad's promise perfectly matches the landing page's reality.
Let’s be honest about ads on the internet. You’ve been there: you start a great new campaign, the clicks come in quickly, and your budget is going quickly. Then you check the conversions, and they don’t change. It’s really annoying, isn’t it?
You followed all of their instructions: flawless targeting, fantastic creative, and competitive bids. But the traffic you paid for is clicking and then disappearing.
At SPX Media, we know that this isn’t an ad problem; it’s a follow-through problem. Just because you spend more money doesn’t mean you’ll get more conversions. They happen because you made a path that was clear and based on faith.
The answer isn’t another costly platform. It’s correcting the leaks just after the click.
The Broken Promise: The Conversion Killer
Your conversion rate is the best way to tell how well your messaging is working. If it’s low, that suggests the talk isn’t going well. A broken promise is the most common killer. The ad makes a big promise, but the landing page doesn’t deliver on that promise.
Consider this: You click on an ad that says “Guaranteed Instant Quote in 60 Seconds,” but the page has you read three paragraphs about the company’s history first. Are you going to stay? No way.
- Trust is Gone: The guest leaves as soon as you break your first promise.
- You wasted energy by making them work to find what you already promised them.
This expensive failure is known as the Click-to-Conversion Gap. You paid for the click, but the misalignment stopped the sale before it ever begun.
The Easy Fix: C.R.O. (Conversion Rate Optimization)
You don’t need to spend more money on marketing; you need to buy things in a wiser way. C.R.O., or conversion rate optimization, is just gaining more useful actions—like more sales or leads—from the traffic you’ve already paid for.
Our SPX marketing plan is all about C.R.O. and includes three improvements that lock down your funnel:
- The Continuity Rule: This is not up for debate. The wording and pictures in every headline, picture, and major button on your landing page should be the same as those in the ad that brought them there. No leaps. No sudden changes. Continuity gets rid of friction.
- Directness Wins: Right away, answer the most important question: What is this? What do I get out of it? What should I do now? Stop using jargon. You lose the click you paid for if a user waits even a second.
- One Page, One Goal: A landing page can only do one thing. Get rid of everything else, like supplementary navigation, links to other sites that are distracting, and competing calls to action. We focus the user’s attention on one action and take away all the reasons to depart.
Stop Bidding and Start Winning
The companies that are doing well online aren’t the ones who spend the most money; they’re the ones that are completely focused on making the customer’s life easier when they click.
