Recently, I got a call from a business owner who had been struggling with Meta Ads.

 

He’d done some homework and kicked off his own campaigns.

They weren't terrible, but they weren't great either.

 

Feeling stuck, he decided to hire an agency that guarantees results, so I accepted the challenge.

​

 

The Initial Challenge

​

When I took over, the campaign had been live for a month and was hemorrhaging money. I noticed they were casting an incredibly wide net with their targeting.

 

Now, a broad audience can work if you’re just starting out or testing, but this business had a very niche service. It was like trying to sell vegan ice cream to a room full of steak lovers.

 

It just wasn’t hitting the right people.

The Game Plan: Hyper-Optimization

​

Step 1: Nailing the Target Audience

 

First things first, I refined their audience. I crafted a custom audience that zeroed in on those most likely to convert. It was all about finding that sweet spot where the message would resonate the most.

 

Step 2: Refreshing the Copy

 

Next up was the ad copy. The original was wordy and generic. I trimmed it down, making it sharp and easy to digest. I tailored the language to speak directly to the niche audience.

 

And, a big one here, I added a call-to-action (CTA). You'd be surprised how many ads miss this crucial element. It's like inviting someone to a party and forgetting to tell them where it is.

 

Step 3: Revamping the Creatives

 

Then, we tackled the visuals. I asked for videos showcasing their work. After sifting through, I picked the best one, added some snazzy effects, and wrapped it all up with a vibrant cover.

 

The idea was to make it pop and catch the eye instantly.

The Results

 

The transformation was incredible.

 

We achieved a $0.09 CPC, an 8.79% CTR, and a $3.66 CPM.

 

For those not fluent in ad-speak, this means they were paying just nine cents per click, less than four bucks to reach a thousand people, and nearly nine percent of viewers were interacting with the ad.
