Are Solo Ads Worth It? A Decision Framework

Use funnel economics, audience fit and test discipline to decide whether solo ads deserve a place in your traffic mix.

The answer depends on the funnel

Solo ads can be worth testing when you have a relevant offer, measurable landing page and follow-up.

Measure cost per outcome

Use cost per lead and cost per customer rather than stopping at cost per click.

Good reasons to test

You need fast traffic feedback, can isolate the source and can afford a learning budget.

Reasons to wait

You lack tracking, have no defined conversion event, cannot follow up with leads or would be financially stressed by a failed test.
