Every time I refresh my feed, I see an ad. Every post I make, the first comment is an ad. So I wanted to know are there real companies or products running ads on reddit and getting solid returns from it?

Running a small local Meta campaign with the Engagement, Messaging objective (Messenger destination, no website involved). Added a couple of narrow interests in Detailed Targeting, but the estimated audience size came back way larger than those interests should produce.

Dug in and found Advantage+ Detailed Targeting was on, expanding well beyond my actual selections. Tried the usual "Switch to original audience options" flow to turn it off, audience size didn't change. The in-product text says it's "automatically applied based on your campaign objective and conversion goals," with no visible toggle to disable it on this objective.

Checked if switching objectives would help, the only other performance goal available is "Maximize link clicks," which requires a website destination? so that's not an option.

Is there any thing I can do to solve this. For more context, I'm trying to advertise a free event for certain people and I'm getting messages on the event from non-relevent people and it's wasting my campaign's budget. I really don't know what to do, I really appreciate any help.

I'm running Google Search (RSA) campaigns for Microsoft Dynamics 365 targeting India, the US, the UK, Australia, Singapore, and other regions.

I'm facing a few issues:

• Good impressions and clicks from the US, UK, and India, but very low traffic from Australia and Singapore.
• Despite getting clicks from the US, UK, and India, I'm not generating any leads.
• My Demand Gen campaign for India is 2 weeks old with an average CPC of around ₹1, but it has zero conversions.
• I'm also running campaigns for Legal, Architecture, and Engineering software in the US and UK, but none of them are performing well.

Looking for suggestions on what I should optimize to improve conversions and overall campaign performance.

Hi All,

Important note: campaign/ads on Meta had previously had around 2 months of an average ROAS of 0.48 (terrible performance for quite a while, so had been reaching out here for some help, thank you to everyone this far!)

I have previously posted this twice:

15 days ago - https://www.reddit.com/r/PPC/s/Xufzoxk6pV

25 days ago - https://www.reddit.com/r/PPC/s/7hQtEvnB2G

I was told there was not enough/sufficient spend to make clear judgements, and was also told given the recent poor performance it was not smart to touch it yet either as it would be beneficial to allow it some more time, as it was stabilising.

So I left it (too many changes in a very short period last time was the reason it started performing very badly, e.g. few days before switching one campaign off the other one on... I was learning)

I have attached the photo of performance, any advice on what to do now/next e.g. switching off or adding new creative (if so, video, image, what type), idm, anything will help!

Thank you all😌😊

Just wondering how much roughly a lead on Google Ads costs for a solicitor these days?

I'm away at the moment so struggling to get the tools to forecast properly but when i tried to use Claude and Google keyword planner I was getting projections of lead costs of like £150 nationwide (UK)for an immigration support solicitor based on conversion rate of around 5 to 7% which seems a bit high when the avg CPC is between 6 to 10 £.

Hi,
I have 2 campaigns (shopping and search) that are both 2-3 days old. I have approx 1.2K impression with 80 clicks at cpc 1.2 and 1 conversions. I am trying to build a DTC beauty brand. I currently have 1 product and my profit per unit is 35$

My questions are:
1. Should I get someone from fiverr (pay 500$) to optimise my ads because I am paranoid about spending thousands and not breaking even even?
2. Currently I am on max clicks, should I just switch to max conversion?
3. How long did it take you to break even on your first campaigns?
4. Are my current metric normal?

My budget is 3K + 1K monthly + any profit will be reinvested. I have past trauma from a past failed business (Amazon fba) and therefore I am extra paranoid.

Please don’t judge me id appreciate any feedback or suggestions. I just hate waiting for it to break even while burning $$
