Meta “Broad interests”: 3 weeks, 0 paying customers

What happened — $1,260 spent since Jul 17 for 21 trials and not a single conversion to paid.

Why — The audience is beauty hobbyists, not business owners — its trials never add a second staff member or connect a calendar, the two activation signals every paying account shows.

Budget burn: “Generic broad” search campaign

What happened — Burned $310 in 7 days for 3 trials and 0 customers.

Why — Broad match drifted off-topic — 68% of search terms are things like “free booking app” and “appointment excel template”, queries that never pay for software.

Creative fatigue on “Salon owners lookalike”

What happened — Frequency hit 3.1; CPM up 14% week-over-week.

Why — Your best creative is 4 weeks old. Historically this account's CPM jumps ~20% once frequency passes 3.

Organic now ranks for “online booking system”

What happened — Top-5 for 3 commercial queries you also bid on; clicks +28%.

Why — The July comparison page started ranking. Brand campaign pays for ~$120/week of clicks organic would catch for free.

Churn signal: clinics keep asking for SMS reminders

What happened — 3 clinic cancellations this month cite the same gap; 14 support conversations request it.

Why — Clinics send appointment reminders by SMS, not WhatsApp. The gap clusters in your highest-ARPA segment — fixing it protects $126/mo and unblocks the clinic funnel.
