The "message-match" mistake costing your account a third of its CPL

One of the most predictable wins I see when auditing lead-gen accounts. The diagnostic and the fix.

Click an ad. Land on the page. Read the hero. If the headline of the page doesn't repeat the promise of the ad you just clicked, you have a message-match problem.

The diagnostic — five minutes, on your phone

Open your top-spending ad. Click it. Look at the screen for two seconds, then look away.
