⚡ Quick Diagnostic Summary
The Problem: Massive budget misallocation with $10,000+ completely wasted on Display and YouTube campaigns that generated zero conversions. Only Search campaigns are working, but even within Search, performance varies dramatically from $58.78 CPA (branded) to $1,680.13 CPA (niche terms).
The Opportunity: With such clear channel performance data, we can immediately redirect waste and scale what's working. The $589.42 blended CPA provides huge improvement runway - even modest optimization delivers transformational results.
Critical Issues
Top Priority Problems Requiring Immediate Action
🔥 Top 5 Critical Issues
🎯 Issue #1: $10K+ Complete Channel Waste
Display and YouTube campaigns consumed over $10,000 with zero conversions. Wrong inventory, poor placements, no audience exclusions.
🎯 Issue #2: Search Campaign Performance Chaos
CPA ranges from $58.78 to $1,680.13 across search campaigns with no clear optimization strategy or budget allocation logic.
📍 Issue #3: No Funnel Strategy
TOFU campaigns push cold traffic directly to booking with no lead magnets, nurturing, or progressive engagement strategy.
🧪 Issue #4: Missing Conversion Infrastructure
CRM events not imported to Google Ads, no GA4 audience integration, no offline conversion tracking for qualified leads or booked calls.
🔄 Issue #5: Zero Remarketing Strategy
No remarketing campaigns active - warm traffic from video views, site visits, and engaged prospects not being re-engaged systematically.
💸 Waste Breakdown by Source
Context: Total identified waste: $18,500+ out of $51,869 spend (36% waste ratio). This represents immediate savings opportunity of $6K-$9K monthly.
