Women 45–54 receive the most spend but men 45–54 and women 55–64 deliver significantly better CPLs ($25.52 and $19.65 respectively). The 25–34 female segment spends $102 with zero leads — consider reducing allocation or excluding. Male audiences across 35–64 are converting efficiently despite lower spend allocation.
Recommendations for Next Month
-
Let the new mockup creatives run through learning phase (at least 7 more days). If the "Mock up" ad's $3.99 CPL holds, consider building more creatives in this format — it's outperforming the TEST IMAGE #3 creative that's been the workhorse.
-
Monitor frequency — currently at 2.31 across the campaign. The Prospecting ad set is at 2.01 and Architects at 1.82. Not critical yet, but if frequency exceeds 3.0, creative fatigue will set in. Fresh creative helps here.
-
Consider narrowing age targeting. The 25–34 female segment is spending $100+ with zero leads. Either exclude this age range or create age-specific creative that resonates younger.
-
The Architects ad set is the clear winner. Consider increasing its budget share or creating a dedicated campaign for this audience to give it more room to scale.
-
Landing page is converting well (317 LP views from 365 link clicks = 87%; 21 leads from 317 LP views = 6.6% conversion rate). No LP changes needed.
