Product hypothesisGoogle Ads clicks with no conversions (unvalidated; this site does not provide this tool)
ProblemAdvertisers running Google Ads campaigns (especially newer types like Demand Gen) keep getting clicks but zero conversions, with daily budget drain producing no leads or sales. The root cause is unclear: it could be audience matching, landing page, bid learning, or geo/device segmentation.

Scoring summary

Evidence confidence = strength × evidence volume × source diversity × payment × competition × trend × 10. Counts use independent content items; only first-hand pain, current spend, explicit willingness to pay and concrete feature requests affect the score. Repeated posts by one author are discounted. Scoring and status changes follow deterministic rules.

“Payment-backed” means first-hand payment evidence exists in the record. It does not mean the business is worth building. “Fading” is a recency tag shown alongside any evidence level, not a lower level. Read the full methodology.
