Takes about 2 minutes

Question 1 of 6 0%

Question 01

When you sit down to make an ad, how do you usually decide what to create?

A I look at what's worked before and try to repeat it
B I look at what competitors are doing and take inspiration
C I make something that feels right for my brand
D Honestly I'm not sure — I just start making something

Question 02

How many different ads are you typically running at one time?

A Just one or two — I put everything behind what I think will work
B A few, but they're pretty similar to each other
C Several, but I'm not sure if they're actually different enough
D I don't have a consistent number — it changes all the time

Question 03

Who are you talking to in your ads right now?

A Everyone who might be interested in what I sell
B People who already know my brand or have visited my site
C A mix — but I'm using the same ad for all of them
D I'm not totally sure — I set the targeting and hoped for the best

Question 04

When you write your ad — what are you focused on?

A Making it look good and on-brand
B Explaining what the product or service does
C Getting someone to click or buy
D I don't have a clear focus — I'm trying to do all of it at once

Question 05

When an ad isn't performing, what do you usually do?

A Turn it off and start something completely new
B Change the image or the copy and run it again
C Leave it longer and hope it picks up
D I'm not sure what to change so I usually just kill it

Question 06

Be honest — when you look at your current ads, could you explain why you made each one?

A Yes — I had a clear reason for each one
B Sort of — I had a general idea but nothing specific
C Not really — they made sense at the time but I couldn't explain the logic
D No — I made them because I needed to run something

Your Diagnosis

You're talking to the
wrong person
at the wrong time.

Your ads aren't failing because they look bad or because your product isn't good. They're failing because the creative you're running doesn't match where your audience actually is.

The Two-Question Audit

Pull up whatever ads you're currently running. For each one, answer two questions:

Does this person already know me?
If yes — your ad should be building proof or making an offer.
If no — your ad should be creating awareness or sparking curiosity. Not selling.

What is this ad actually doing?
Look at the creative honestly. Is it introducing you, building trust, or asking for the sale? Now check — does that match your answer to the first question?

If there's a mismatch, that's your problem. Not the design. Not the budget. Not the algorithm. The mismatch.

Fix that first. Then see what changes.

Most people never audit their ads this way because they're too close to them. But this two-minute check will tell you more about why your ads are underperforming than any amount of new creative will. Do it before you build another thing.

Your Diagnosis

You're running
one strategy and
calling it testing.

You don't have enough variety in your creative — and the variety you do have probably isn't different enough to matter. When you run similar ads repeatedly, the algorithm runs out of new people to show it to. And the people who do see it stop noticing it.

The Variety Check

Look at your last 30 days of ads. Write down every ad you ran. Now ask yourself — are these actually different, or just visually different?

Different headline, same message — not different enough.
Different image, same offer — not different enough.
Different format, same angle — not different enough.

Real variety means different jobs. One ad introduces you. One builds trust. One asks for the sale. If all your ads are doing the same thing with a different coat of paint, you don't have variety. You have repetition with extra steps.

Ask yourself: can you name the job each of your current ads is doing? Write it down next to each one. If you can't — that's where the work starts.

Once you can name what each ad is there to do, making creative stops feeling overwhelming. You're not just making more ads — you're building a mix where each piece has a purpose. That's when things start to click.

Your Diagnosis

Your ads don't
have a job.
So they're not doing one.

You're making ads. But you're not making ads that are built to do something specific. Every ad that works is doing one clear thing — introducing you, building trust, or converting someone who's ready. When there's no intention behind the build, it ends up doing none of those things well.

Three Questions Before You Build Anything

Before your next ad — before you think about the image, the copy, the format — stop and answer these three questions in writing:

Who specifically is this for?
Not your general audience. The specific person at a specific moment in their relationship with you. Someone who's never heard of you. Someone who's been following you for months. Someone who almost bought last week.

What do they already know?
Do they know your brand exists? Do they trust you? Are they comparison shopping? Your answer changes everything about what the ad should do.

What is the one thing I want them to think, feel, or do after seeing this?
One thing. Not three. Not "awareness and conversion." One.

Write the answers down. Then build the ad to do exactly that one thing. Nothing else.

Those three questions won't solve everything. But they will stop you from building another ad that exists without a reason. Intention before creation — that shift alone will change what you make and how it performs.
