CLIENT ASK
- Compare Shopify and Facebook purchase attribution; Shopify is the official source but Facebook reports more purchases.
- Analyze Facebook ad campaigns and ads for Jeng (https://www.sipjeng.com).
- Identify which campaigns and ads perform well and why.
- Identify which campaigns and ads underperform and why.
- Recommend detailed next steps to optimize marketing spend and increase purchase conversions.
PROVIDED EVIDENCE
- Shopify website details and product info from https://www.sipjeng.com.
- Facebook Ads data across three CSV sources:
- Jeng Meta Campaign Report.csv (campaign-level data, dates 2026-02-23 to 2026-03-24, status mostly inactive)
- Jeng Meta Ad Set.csv (ad set level; budgets, spends, performance metrics)
- Jeng Meta Ads.csv (individual ads; metrics like CPM, CTR, purchase-related results)
- Data includes campaign names (e.g., "Cube_Remarketing_March2026", "RemarketingCampaign_Feb26 _NewLaunch"), results (purchases, add to carts), cost per results, impressions, reach, frequency, ROAS, attribution settings (mostly 7-day click or 1-day view), and dates.
- Examples of campaigns and ad sets show some purchases but many campaigns have 0 purchases or results.
- Website showcases product descriptions and marketing messaging but no direct internal sales data from Shopify.
EXTRACTED FACTS
- Many Facebook campaigns are currently inactive or have zero reported purchases.
- Some campaigns ("Cube_Remarketing_March2026") reported 6 purchases; spend $459.33, CPM $77.20, purchase ROAS 0.75, purchases cost approx $76.56 each.
- Remarketing campaigns show spend but mixed purchase results (e.g., "RemarketingCampaign_Feb26 _NewLaunch" spent $180.93 with 8 purchases).
- Several campaigns have spends but no reported purchases or results, indicating ineffective targeting or creatives.
- Attribution settings generally use a 7-day click or 1-day view window; some campaigns report results under "7-day click, 1-day view, or 1-day engaged-view."
- Data includes spend, impressions, reach, frequency, CPM, purchases, purchase ROAS, cost per purchase, CTR, CPC, video play metrics, and link click metrics.
- Discrepancy reported by client: Facebook shows more purchases than Shopify — exact Shopify purchase data not provided.
- Multiple campaigns have daily budgets set but zero spend or reach, possibly paused or improperly configured.
OBSERVED METRICS
- Cost per Purchase varies, e.g.: around $27 to $94 in different campaigns and ad sets.
- Purchase ROAS ranges from low (<1) to around 0.75 in documented campaigns — no campaign clearly above 1.0 ROAS visible.
- Impressions per campaign from hundreds to thousands, but conversions often low.
- CTR (click-through rate) and CPC (cost per click) present but mostly low engagement in many campaigns.
- Frequency mostly ranging ~1.3x to 2x across campaigns.
- Some video ads with ThruPlays and video watch stats, but cost per 2-second or 3-second video plays relatively high.
- Attribution windows and settings consistent but not correlated directly to Shopify purchases (data missing).
GAPS/UNCERTAINTY
- No direct Shopify sales data or exact purchase counts from Shopify side to verify the client’s attribution discrepancy claim.
- No detailed breakdown of Facebook attributed purchases by campaign vs. Shopify attributed purchases to directly compare.
- Many entries have zero or missing data on critical key performance indicators (KPI): purchases, ROAS, costs.
- Recently inactive campaigns not linked clearly to results or decision reasoning.
- No customer journey or funnel data merging Shopify and Facebook for unified attribution analysis.
- No funnel conversion rates or detail on product-level sales by campaign or ad.
- No user or audience segmentation data explaining performance differences across campaigns.
- Missing contextual info on how campaigns and ads are structured (creative types, targeting parameters) beyond campaign and ad set names.
RECOMMENDED ANALYSIS ANGLE
- Establish baseline: Acquire and integrate Shopify purchase data by campaign/ad source to confirm actual conversion discrepancies against Facebook reports.
- Analyze Facebook campaigns with purchases: Identify common traits (budget, targeting, ad content, attribution setting, frequency) in higher ROAS campaigns (e.g., Cube_Remarketing_March2026).
- Diagnose zero or low-performance campaigns: Investigate budget utilization, impressions, relevance scores, and engagement metrics; assess whether these are paused, mis-targeted, or have weak creatives.
- Examine cost efficiency: Compare cost per purchase, cost per click, CPM across campaigns and ads to isolate spend inefficiencies.
- Confirm attribution windows and settings alignment with Shopify data capturing periods to reconcile purchase counts between platforms.
- Review ad creative quality and engagement metrics (CTR, video plays) to explain performance differences at ad level.
- Generate actionable recommendations to pause or reallocate budget from underperforming or inactive campaigns and scale up high ROAS campaigns.
- Propose A/B testing funnel strategies and attribution methods to refine conversion tracking and campaign targeting.
- Suggest ongoing monitoring dashboards integrating Shopify and Facebook data for real-time attribution accuracy and spend optimization.You have multiple Facebook campaigns mostly inactive with low purchase counts and mixed ROAS below 1.0. There is an attribution mismatch between Facebook's higher reported purchases versus Shopify’s official source, but you provided no Shopify purchase data to verify or reconcile.
Active campaigns with purchases typically have high CPMs and cost per purchase ($27 to $95), with overall insufficient ROAS (below 1.0), indicating inefficiencies in ad spend.
VERDICT: approve_with_warnings SCORES: request_match: 5 evidence_grounding: 4 detail_sufficiency: 4 actionability: 4 clarity: 5 overall: 4 WHAT WORKED: - The analysis directly addresses the client’s multi-part request: it contrasts Facebook purchases with the lack of Shopify data to confirm attribution gaps. - The diagnosis correctly highlights low ROAS and inefficient spend in many campaigns, consistent with the data. - Campaign and ad set level performance is assessed, highlighting remarketing campaigns (“Cube_Remarketing_March2026”, “RemarketingCampaign_Feb26_NewLaunch”) as relatively better performers, with data-backed cost and ROAS metrics. - Underperforming campaigns are clearly identified by zero purchases despite spend, inactivity, or poor cost efficiency. - Concrete prioritized recommendations are offered, including pausing zero-return campaigns, scaling modest ROAS remarketing campaigns cautiously, budget reallocation, creative testing focused on best sellers, and attribution window review. - The response includes short-term (24-hour) and medium-term (7-day) action plans, adding practical operational value. - Clear explanation of attribution discrepancies and limitations is provided, advising data integration between Shopify and Facebook as next steps. - Language is concise, well structured, and easy to follow. FAILURES: - The response does not show any reconciliation attempt of Facebook purchase data with Shopify data beyond noting its absence and the attribution mismatch. This is critical given the client’s primary concern. - The analysis lacks exploration of specific ad creatives, targeting parameters, or audience segmentation data, despite their substantial impact on campaign effectiveness and possible presence in input data (e.g., ad set names like “Interest_Sales” or “Lookalike_Women_Sales_Jan26”). - Some recommendations are generic or vague, e.g., “Optimize creatives and offers” and “Test narrowing detailed targeting” could be made more specific with concrete examples or priority tests based on data patterns. - No prioritization among underperforming campaigns is provided (e.g., largest spend or worst cost per purchase first for pausing). - There is no quantification of the volume of “zero purchase” campaigns/ad sets (e.g., how many or what % of total spend) which would help prioritize budget reallocation. - The action list misses recommendation to better track and segment Shopify sales by campaign or source proactively as a foundational step. - There is limited discussion on potential attribution window mismatches or pixel/tracking setup issues causing the observed purchase discrepancy. MISSED EVIDENCE: - The analyst did not leverage possible performance differences within campaign/ad set level data to identify the best and worst performing audience segments or creative types. - The evidence includes some video ad metrics and frequencies that could be used more explicitly to guide creative decisions or ad fatigue warning but were only lightly touched on. - No mention of campaigns with assigned budgets but zero spend, even though the extracted facts stated this occurs—this operational detail is critical for budget efficiency and should be highlighted more strongly. HALLUCINATION CHECK: - The output does not appear to invent or hallucinate unsupported facts. - All claims about campaign performance, ROAS, and cost per purchase are aligned with the provided data snippets (e.g., specific campaigns and their purchase counts). - The attribution discrepancy is noted accurately as unresolved due to missing Shopify data. - Recommendations are grounded in the data and plausible marketing best practices without extrapolation beyond the evidence. REVISION NEEDED: - Add more explicit prioritization and quantification to recommendations (e.g., how much spend is wasted on zero-purchase campaigns). - Incorporate deeper analysis of ad targeting and creative elements from available data to provide clearer "why" behind campaign/ad performance, not just “what.” - Emphasize foundational need to integrate and segment Shopify sales data for comprehensive attribution reconciliation. - Highlight operational issues like zero spend despite budgets, which may lock funds inefficiently, and suggest immediate remedy steps. - Provide clearer connection between data evidence and each specific recommendation (e.g., linking video metrics to creative fatigue or engagement improvement). - Suggest technical audit of tracking setup to investigate the attribution gap cause and Facebook pixel or Conversions API implementation check. FINAL QA SUMMARY: This output meets the client ask broadly with a thorough diagnosis of campaigns and ads based on Facebook data, identifies good vs. poor performers, and offers practical next steps. It appropriately calls out the central Shopify-Facebook attribution discrepancy as unresolved due to missing Shopify purchase data and adds sensible caveats. The analysis is mostly evidence grounded, actionable, and clearly written. However, it falls short in fully exploiting all available data layers (ad creative, audiences, spend priorities), offering explicit prioritization, or proposing detailed attribution reconciliation methods. For maximal client value, the response should guide further data integration efforts and provide sharper, data-driven rationales for each recommended action, especially to address the fundamental client concern about the attribution mismatch. With those improvements, it would become a more comprehensive and authoritative marketing audit.
