What it does
When an ad does not get replies, the usual move is to change the picture or start again. That is the costly way, and you still will not know what the problem was. Most weak ads fail in the same few places: a headline that offers nothing, the wrong reason to buy, claims too vague or too big to believe, a hidden offer, or a reply that is hard to make. This workflow goes through those in the order they tend to matter, and ranks the causes by how likely and how cheap to fix. If you have results for several ads, it lays them side by side to find what your winners share. It then writes a fixed version that changes only what the diagnosis called for, checks it is ready to send, and plans a split test of old against new, so the fix has to prove itself.…
