Why Your Competitor's Bad Ads Are Actually Good News

I was analyzing some service business ads yesterday and noticed something interesting, about 80% of them are absolutely terrible and I say this from a testing perspective. And that's fantastic news for you.

Here's what I mean:

Most of your competitors are making these exact mistakes:

• Generic stock photos with text overlays

• No clear call to action

• Zero personality or brand voice

• Basic "boost" button marketing

• No actual value proposition

While they're wasting money on bad ads, you can come in and quite literally dominate your market by simply doing the opposite.

The thing with businesses spending the most on these bad ads are usually the ones most resistant to change. "But we've always done it this way!" Yeah, and that's exactly why your cost per lead keeps going up.

We had a client in the medical field who was competing against practices spending 5x more on ads. We beat them by simply showing actual patient transformation videos instead of stock photos. Sometimes the simplest changes make the biggest impact and this is just a part of the strategy.

Remember: Bad competition is the best opportunity. Don't try to compete - just be obviously better.
