facebook ads cpc too high shopify
Rising CPC is often a checkout leak wearing an ads costume. Audit storefront friction before you raise bids or rebuild creatives.
The actual problem
CPC climbs while checkout conversion stays flat — paid traffic buys a leaky funnel.
Do this
- Pull last 14 days CPC + purchase CPA from Ads Manager.
- Run a checkout leak scan (guest forced, OOS buyable, stacking discounts) before raising budget.
- Kill ad sets with CPC > 2× account median and no purchase events.
- Message-match ads to one offer and one landing URL — not a homepage tour.
