Insights
LinkedIn Leaving ~11 Conversions/Day on the Table
HighCampaign exhausted budget at 2:10pm with a 5.4% conversion rate in the afternoon window (historically the best hours for VP-level engagement). At current $5.40 CPA, adding $300/day would capture the 2pm-8pm window.
Raise daily budget $750 to $1,050
Meta Retargeting Pool Declining 6% Daily
HighCart abandoner pool: 29K today (31K yesterday, 48K two weeks ago). At this rate the segment will be below 20K by next Friday, making it uneconomical. Frequency already 11.8. The 14-day window expansion would add ~27K users.
Expand window to 14d + frequency cap at 6
Rippling Brand Bid Withdrawal Holding
LowDay 9 with no Rippling ads on our brand terms. CPC down 8%, saving ~$12/day vs when they were active. Their LinkedIn spend in 'Project Management' segments is up 31% -- may indicate a channel shift rather than a budget cut.
Monitor; if they return, our brand CPC will revert to ~$3.95
Recommendations
Raise LinkedIn daily budget to $1,050 before Monday -- we've lost an estimated 55 conversions this week to the 2pm cap
Expand Meta retargeting from 7d to 14d window today and add frequency cap of 6. Swap 'Free Shipping' banner for 'Customer Success Story' video
Add 'shoe repair', 'free running app', 'couch to 5k' + 11 other negative keywords flagged in today's query report. Est. savings: $48/day ($1,460/month)
