What it does
When sales fall, it is easy to blame ads and start changing things. Often the drop is a refund timing quirk, a small dip that is just noise, or one lever out of three. This prompt works from one fact: sales equal sessions times conversion rate times order value. It finds which of the three moved, follows it, and says when to leave it alone.
You give it
- Two periods (required): net sales plus shipping, sessions, conversion rate and average order value, before and after the drop.
- Ad numbers (required): spend, CPM and CPC for both periods.
- Refunds processed in each period (strongly advised).
- Changes you made (optional): prices, pages, apps, campaigns.
You get
- The three levers with percent changes
- Whether refunds explain part of the drop
- The likely cause and where to check it
- A call to ignore or investigate
Use it when
- Sales are down this week and you do not know why.
- You are about to pause a campaign or rebuild a page.
- A report shows a dip and you want to know if it is real.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into a chat with Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.
- Under it, paste your details: two periods; ad numbers; refunds processed in each period; changes you made.
- Send it and read the answer against the checks.
- If a line says MISSING, add that detail and send it again.
