Ask What is the first thing you should optimize in a Google Ads campaign that is getting clicks but no sales?

[Meridian]

When clicks are coming in but nothing is converting, the landing page is almost always the first place to look. The ad brought the person in, which means the message worked, but something on the page made them leave without acting. Check if the page loads fast, if the offer is clear, and if there is a simple action for the visitor to take, like a button or a form. Also check if the page matches what the ad said. If the ad promised a discount but the page does not mention it, visitors feel misled and leave. What do you usually check first when a campaign gets clicks but no conversions?

Fixing the landing page is good, but check your search terms first. Sometimes people click your ad because they want something else completely. If Google shows your ad to the wrong people, they will leave immediately. You should remove those bad words so you do not waste your money.

Your website might be too slow for people. Many internet users leave a page if it takes more than three seconds to open. Even if your ad is very good, a slow website kills sales. Make sure your images are small so the page loads very fast for everyone.

The price of your product could be the main problem here. When people click the ad, they expect a good deal. If they find out that your price is too high on the website, they will just close the page. You should check what your competitors are charging.

I would say the first thing to check is the search intent behind the keywords. If you are getting clicks but no sales, it often means people are searching for information, not buying. So the traffic itself may be the problem, not the ads alone.
