Investigate low CTR when the product page works

A useful page cannot help shoppers who never understand why the ad is relevant.
Watch the first seconds
Check whether the item and reason to inspect it appear early. Remove a slow logo animation or an unrelated scene that delays the product.
Use one visible detail
Try an opening that shows a real pocket, shade, clasp, or layout. Keep the offer and page fixed for a cleaner comparison.
Read the whole funnel
Monitor link CTR with visit and purchase quality. An attention-grabbing hook that draws unqualified clicks can make CTR rise and contribution fall.
A worked example
A product page has clear dimensions and reviews, but the ad spends its first seconds on a room with no visible item. Try a version that shows the bag immediately and points to one feature. Keep the page, offer, and audience approach fixed for the comparison. Watch purchase quality along with CTR so a broad curiosity hook does not become the false winner.
Decision check
Keep the numerator, denominator, date range, currency, and attribution definition with every reported result. A metric describes one part of the shopper path; compare it with visits, purchases, and order contribution before changing the creative or budget. State what the observation cannot establish.
