Burnt by Bad Facebook Ads? Here’s What Shopify Stores Should Do Instead

You hired an agency. You spent thousands. You followed the rules. And still…

Your Facebook Ads aren’t converting. Your ROAS is flat. Your ad creative flopped within days.

  4. Test Weekly, Not Monthly – Headlines, hooks, CTAs, and angles.
  5. Track What Matters – ROAS, AOV, CPA, not just CTR or likes.

We help you map all of this in your audit so you’re not throwing spaghetti at Meta anymore.
