01·WHY
Why this matters
Running paid traffic to a store that is not ready is the most expensive way to learn the store is not ready. Every ad click that bounces off a slow product page or a confusing checkout is paid waste.
Spend a week getting the storefront ready and you will earn back the entire ad budget on the first campaign.
02·STEPS
Step-by-step
Walk this list before scheduling a single ad.
- Product pages load in under 3 seconds on mobile.
- Every product has a strong photo, accurate price, real description, and clear delivery info.
- Checkout is mobile-optimized and tested on at least 3 phones.
- Payment methods configured · including COD if your audience expects it.
- Delivery zones, fees, and ETAs are clear on every product page.
- Tracking pixels (Meta, Google) are installed and firing real events.
03·PITFALLS
Common mistakes to avoid
- Mistake
Driving ads to the homepage
A customer who clicks an ad for a specific product expects to land on that product. Send them there directly.
- Mistake
No tracking pixel
Ads without proper pixel tracking are flying blind. You will not know what worked, and the platform will not learn either.
- Mistake
Spending before testing the funnel
A handful of friends-and-family checkouts will surface 80% of the problems your ads would otherwise expose at scale.
