Opportunities

Traffic and lead activity are normal but a conversion signal has stopped. Treat this as a tracking failure until proven otherwise — do not cut spend on the basis of "zero conversions". "purchase" fired ~3/week over the prior 4 weeks and 0 in the last 7 days while sessions (1002) and leads (75) continued.

Action: Make a test booking end-to-end and confirm the booking event fires in GA4 DebugView and is imported into Google Ads. Do not change budgets or bids until it is fixed; Smart Bidding is currently learning from a broken signal.

6 primary conversion actions are steering bidding at once — the algorithm optimises for whichever fires most (usually button clicks). Click-type actions (book_now_click, whatsapp_click) are primary; they count intent, not bookings.

Action: Keep one booking-type action primary (Book appointments) and demote click-type actions (book_now_click, whatsapp_click) to secondary once the booking event is verified to fire.

Position 9.8 with 473 impressions — moving 2–3 places could roughly 1.4× clicks; the same query converts in paid search. Two pages share this query (57% / 42% of impressions) — Google is undecided which page to rank.

Action: Decide which page should own this intent (/services/laser-hair-removal/ vs /laser/bradford/), consolidate or differentiate, and point internal links at the chosen page.

Re-scan next month on the same grid to measure the change.

Conversion tracking is likely broken, so the platform conversions this action relies on cannot be trusted. Fix tracking first; the estimate will be recomputed on the next sync.

Hours with ≥ 3% of spend and under a third of the proportional conversions: 20:00–21:00 (£23.51, 0 conv, 22 clicks); 21:00–22:00 (£23.51, 0 conv, 22 clicks); 22:00–23:00 (£23.51, 0 conv, 22 clicks).

Action: Under Smart Bidding, ad-schedule bid adjustments are ignored and the platform already weighs time of day, so do not add adjustments. If the business genuinely cannot serve these hours (nobody answers the phone, no bookings possible), exclude them with a −100% schedule; otherwise treat this as a signal to check that conversions are being imported with the right timestamps.

Conversion tracking is likely broken, so the platform conversions this action relies on cannot be trusted. Fix tracking first; the estimate will be recomputed on the next sync.
