Your Ad Gets the Click, Your Landing Page Gets the Sale

Quick answer Your ad only has two jobs: attract the right audience, and get them interested enough to click through to your landing page. The sale itself is your landing page's job. Don't overstuff your creative with information or explain the offer in full — just make sure the right person is interested enough to click.

Your ad's only job is to get the click

Your ad gets the click, and your landing page gets the sale. Keep this in mind when you're designing creatives. Your creative only has two jobs: attract the right audience, and get them interested enough to click and come to your landing page.

Don't overstuff your creative with information

From the click onward, your landing page is going to get the sale. So when you're designing creatives, don't overstuff them with information. Don't explain your offer in full. Don't put every single detail you think is important into the ad.
