3 Layers of a Profitable Ad Strategy

If your ads aren’t converting the way you want, it’s probably not your budget.

It’s your structure.

Here’s what most businesses do:

- They run a conversion campaign.
- They tell people: “Buy now” or “Book a call.”
- And when it doesn’t work… they assume Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube ads don’t work.

But here’s the truth:

Running bottom-of-funnel (BOF) ads without building awareness or trust first… is like proposing on the first date.

The most profitable campaigns follow a clear, layered approach.

Here’s what that looks like.

1. Top of Funnel (TOF) – Awareness

This is where you grab attention and warm up cold audiences.
People don’t know you yet. So don’t sell.

Instead, educate. Entertain. Share value.

Use content like:

• Short-form videos

• Story-driven posts

• Blogs or value-led guides

• Viral-style creatives

The goal is to build reach and engagement, not immediate sales.
This is how you plant the seed.

2. Middle of Funnel (MOF) – Trust

Now we speak to people who are interested but not yet convinced.

These are people who:

• Visited your site

• Watched your content

• Engaged with your social pages

• Viewed your product or service pages

Now is the time to build credibility.

Use content like:

• Testimonials and case studies
  

• Educational content
  

• Behind-the-scenes or process breakdowns
  

• Lead magnets or free resources

This is where you become the trusted choice.

3. Bottom of Funnel (BOF) – Conversion

Now it’s time to make the offer.

They know you. They trust you.
Now you drive action.

Use:

• Strong call-to-actions
  

• Limited-time offers
  

• Results-focused copy
  

• Retargeting ads with guarantees or benefits

Here’s the problem: Most brands only run BOF ads and wonder why things don’t work.

BOF only performs when TOF and MOF are already doing the heavy lifting.

If your ad campaigns feel inconsistent or expensive, the issue isn’t the platform or algorithm.

It’s the missing layers in your strategy.
