Hey everyone — I’ve recently launched a direct-to-offer Evergreen Ads campaign (£4.99/mo micro-subscription). Optimizing for ViewContent with:
- Verified domain
- Pixel firing cleanly
- Strong testimonial creatives
- Broad Tier-1 targeting
- $50/day CBO
The challenge I’m facing is this:
I’m getting a lot of clicks and ViewContent events (0.04 cpc), but almost no Initiate Checkouts and zero purchases.
Traffic feels very low-intent, and only a tiny % of visitors click through to the checkout page.
My questions for anyone who’s run direct-to-offer Evergreen campaigns:
- Is ViewContent still the right optimisation for a micro-offer with zero purchase history?Or should I switch to something else?
- Is it normal to see strong ViewContent numbers but very few Initiate Checkouts in the first 72 hours?(Still early learning phase.)
- How do you tell the difference between a traffic quality issue vs an offer/sales page problem at this stage?
Any insights from people who’ve scaled direct-to-offer funnels would really help — thanks! 🙏
