You launched your Google Ads campaign three weeks ago. You're getting clicks. But conversions? Zero. Your budget evaporates daily.
This happens to 60% of new advertisers. The good news: these failures follow predictable patterns. Fix the pattern, fix the campaign.
Sin 1: Targeting Everyone
Your audience is everyone. Wrong. A $5,000 product needs different targeting than a $20 digital download. Narrow your targeting. Higher CPC, lower waste, better ROAS.

Sin 3: No Conversion Tracking
If Google doesn't know your conversions, it can't optimize. You're flying blind. Implement conversion tracking immediately—it's free.
Sin 4: Broad Match Without Negatives
Broad match + no negative keywords = budget bleed. You bid on "running shoes" but pay for "free running shoes," "running club," "how to run." Add negatives daily.
Sin 5: Weak Landing Pages
A $3 click landing on a slow, irrelevant page won't convert. Your landing page determines conversion rates more than your ads.
Sin 6: Not Testing Variations
Static campaigns underperform. Test new ad copy, headlines, and calls-to-action weekly. Winners compound over time.

My campaign has zero conversions. Where do I start fixing?
1. Verify conversion tracking is working. 2. Review landing page quality and relevance. 3. Check search terms for irrelevant traffic. Fix in that order.
How long do I give a campaign before quitting?
Give campaigns 30 days minimum. Campaigns need data to optimize. If still failing after 30 days of proper setup, diagnose the core issue.
Should I pause failing campaigns immediately?
No. Pause individual keywords and ads that are failing. Keep campaigns running to gather optimization data.
What's a realistic timeline to profitability?
30–90 days typically. If your margins are tight, it might take longer. Budget accordingly.
