The campaigns that underperform almost never fail on targeting. They fail because the listing they point to has thin specs, no reviews, or stock that runs out mid-flight.
- 1Check stock depth before boosting a listing.A campaign that outpaces available stock burns budget on traffic that bounces off an out-of-stock page.
- 2Don't promote a listing with fewer than three reviews.Paid traffic to an unproven listing converts at a fraction of the rate of one with even light social proof.
- 3Match campaign pacing to catalog refresh, not calendar quarters.Specs and pricing go stale faster than most suppliers' campaign review cycles.
Rule of thumb
If a listing wouldn't convert organic traffic today, paid traffic won't save it — fix the listing first, then advertise.
