You’ve done everything right (or so it seems). Your ads are receiving a high number of clicks. Traffic is flowing.
But your conversions? Stuck at zero.
Don’t worry — you’re not alone. This is one of the most common problems marketers and media buyers face. Let’s break down why this happens and what you can do to turn empty clicks into real results.
1. Clickbait Creatives
Those flashy headlines and eye-catching images? Sure, they grab attention. But if they don’t match your actual offer, people click out of curiosity — not intent.
That means your traffic is high but low-quality. They never planned to buy; they just wanted to see what the fuss was about.
📝 Tip: Make sure your creative speaks to the true value proposition. Align the promise in your ad with the reality on your landing page.
2. A Weak Landing Page
Maybe your landing page looks “ok.” But “ok” rarely converts.
Here’s what kills conversions:
- Slow load speed (especially on mobile)
- Cluttered design that overwhelms visitors
- No clear call to action
- Lack of trust signals (reviews, guarantees, contact info)
📝 Tip: Test your landing page like you’re a customer. Does it load fast? Does it look professional on mobile? Do you instantly know what you’re supposed to do next?
3. The Offer Just Doesn’t Hit
Sometimes, the product is genuinely interesting, but your pitch doesn’t trigger the “I need this now” feeling. If your offer isn’t framed around a real pain point or a powerful desire, even curious visitors will click away.
📝 Tip: Repackage your offer. Highlight what makes it urgent, exclusive, or transformative. A simple change in positioning can make all the difference.
4. The Wrong Campaign Objective
This is a classic rookie mistake. If you run ads optimized for “Traffic,” platforms like Facebook will happily deliver cheap clicks. But they won’t necessarily deliver buyers.
Why? Because you told the algorithm, “Just get me visitors.” And that’s what you got.
📝 Tip: Switch your campaign objective to “Conversions.” Train the algorithm to find people who are likely to take action, not just click around.
5. A Broad but Blind Audience
Casting a wide net can sometimes feel productive — more impressions, more clicks. But if you don’t truly understand who your buyer is, you’re basically rolling the dice.
Unqualified traffic looks good on paper but rarely converts.
📝 Tip: Refine your targeting. Use lookalike audiences, behavioral data, and interests that match your ideal customer profile.

So, What Should You Do?
Here’s your action plan:

Creative → Headline → Landing Page → Call to Action. - Change your campaign objective to “Conversions” and install a reliable tracking pixel.
- Audit your landing page for:
- Load speed
- Usability
- Clear offer and trust elements
4. Use Keitaro to see exactly where you’re losing people.
5. Don’t be afraid to scrap and rebuild. Sometimes starting fresh is faster (and cheaper) than endlessly tweaking a broken setup.
