Want the Ad Readiness Review?
Today I share money-saving advice for business owners considering paid ads, explaining that ads are only a traffic source and wonât fix weak foundations.
I describes a common scenario where clients sign a three-month retainer but turn out not to be ready, leading to weeks of fixing basics like unclear offers for cold traffic, missing funnel steps, broken links, and inadequate tracking (including a client whose landing page platform couldnât support tracking, limiting optimization and increasing costs).
I also mention that even successful ads can harm a business if operations canât handle the lead volume.
To set expectations and avoid wasting retainer and ad spend, I recommend getting âad readyâ first and offer an Ad Readiness Review to assess whatâs in place, identify gaps, and ensure infrastructure and capacity are prepared before running ads.
