About this listen

I discovered a client was hemorrhaging $1,500 of their $3,000 ad budget on a conversion path that was 12x more expensive than their website.

If you're running Meta ads for e-commerce, this Facebook Ads conversion tracking issue could be silently killing your profitability right now.

In this episode, I break down a recent meta ad campaign audit that revealed how Facebook's "website and shop" conversion location was splitting their traffic 50/50, sending half their clicks to an underperforming Facebook shop.

While their website maintained a $50 cost per acquisition, their shop purchases skyrocketed to $600 per conversion.

This simple campaign setting change caused their overall CPA to more than double from $55 to $116.

Beyond identifying this costly mistake, I walk through the exact columns and metrics you need to check in your Meta ads manager to diagnose if this is happening to you.

Tune in to learn how to:

✅Analyze shop clicks vs link clicks

✅Differentiate between Meta purchases and website purchases

✅Understand what "shop-assisted" conversions really mean for your bottom line

This insight is crucial for eCommerce store owners and digital marketers looking to improve Meta Ads ROI and reduce CPA.
