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.

04·TIP

Axisel tip

Pre-flight before paid

Spend a focused half-day walking the funnel as a real customer would. Three different products. Two different payment methods. One refund test. Whatever breaks, fix before you spend a dirham on ads.

05·CHECKLIST

Launch checklist
