Traditional foods brand
After the first order, they went silent until the next festival.

The answer
Somewhere between the click and the checkout, your buyer changes their mind. Black Friday will bring you more of them than any other week, so finding that moment matters now.
Who's looking at your store

What fixing it looked like
US lifestyle brand
4.9%
Conversion, up from 2.3% · same ad spend
Buyers hesitated at the same few moments on the page. I answered each one. Monthly revenue went from $0.9M to $1.3M without a single new ad.
US activewear brand
~$75K
A day, up from $15–20K · at 4–5× ROAS
The ads sold performance. Buyers were paying for the person they wanted to become. I rebuilt the ads around that.
The loyal-customer brand
39%
Repeat purchase, up from 17%
Each group of repeat buyers got its own reason to come back, in words that sounded like theirs.

Most growth hackers just want to spend more of my money on Meta. Saurabh was the first person to actually look at our experience and explained why people were dropping off. We didn't even change the budget, and our conversion rate hasn't dipped since.
