Why Most Coaches Fail with Facebook Ads (And How to Fix It!)

If you’re a coach who has tried Facebook ads and been frustrated with the results, you’re not alone.

Most coaches and course creators come to us saying the same thing:

  1. "I’ve spent thousands on ads, but I’m not getting clients."

  2. "My agency gave me great numbers, but my revenue hasn’t changed."

  3. "Facebook ads don’t work for my business."

Here’s the hard truth: It’s not that Facebook ads don’t work—it’s that most agencies don’t know how to run them for coaching businesses.

The problem isn’t Facebook Ads. The problem is:

❌ Agencies focusing on leads instead of sales

❌ Generic ad strategies that don’t fit your offer

❌ Zero transparency on where your money is going

❌ No real partnership or strategy collaboration

But the good news? Once you understand why most coaches fail with Facebook Ads, you can fix it—and finally start running ads that actually grow your business.

🚨 The 3 Biggest Reasons Coaches Fail with Facebook Ads

1️⃣ They Focus on Vanity Metrics, Not Sales Metrics

Most ad agencies love to brag about how many clicks and leads they’re getting you.

"We generated 500 leads for just $3 each!"

Sounds great, right? Wrong.

🔥 The reality? If those leads don’t turn into paying clients, they mean NOTHING.

What You Should Track Instead:

✔️ Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) – How much does it cost to get a real paying client?

✔️ Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) – Are your ads making more money than they cost?

✔️ Client Conversion Rate – Are your leads actually converting?

🚀 Fix: Work with an agency that prioritizes sales-driven data over vanity metrics.

2️⃣ Their Ad Strategy Doesn’t Match Their Offer

Most ad agencies run coaching ads like eCommerce ads—and that’s a massive mistake.

👎 Common Mistakes:

  1. Sending cold traffic straight to a booking page 📉

  2. Running generic, mass-market ad creatives 🎯

  3. Not warming up leads before selling to them ❄️

🔥 The reality? If you're selling high-ticket coaching or courses, you can’t just run ads like a $50 product. You need a strategic funnel that builds trust.

🚀 Fix: Use a structured ad strategy that matches the way people actually buy coaching.

3️⃣ There’s No Clear Reporting or Transparency

Ever felt like your agency just takes your money and disappears for a month? You’re not alone.

Most coaches don’t understand what’s actually happening with their ad spend because agencies:

  1. Send confusing reports with meaningless numbers 📊

  2. Avoid direct communication about results 🙅‍♂️

  3. Don’t provide real strategic insights 🔍

🔥 The reality? You should always know where your money is going and why certain ads are working (or not working).

🚀 Fix: Demand transparency. Work with an agency that offers:

✔️ Clear, sales-focused reporting (not just clicks and impressions)

✔️ Weekly updates on ad performance

✔️ Real strategy calls to adjust and optimize

✅ How to Finally Make Facebook Ads Work for Your Coaching Business

So, what’s the right way to run Facebook ads for coaching? Here’s what we do differently:

1️⃣ Build a Data-Backed, Client-Focused Ad Strategy

We don’t just “guess” at what works. We analyze:

✔️ Your best past clients and why they converted

✔️ Your offer positioning & messaging

✔️ The psychology behind why people buy from YOU

👑 Result? A custom ad strategy tailored to your specific audience—not some generic template.

2️⃣ Optimize for High-Quality Clients, Not Just Cheap Leads

🔥 Instead of just collecting cheap leads, we focus on:

✔️ Pre-qualifying leads before they book a call

✔️ Attracting serious buyers, not freebie-seekers

✔️ Tracking real revenue impact (not just form submissions)

👑 Result? You get higher-quality clients at a predictable cost.

3️⃣ Offer Radical Transparency & Clear Reporting

We believe in real partnership—so you’ll always know exactly how your ads are performing.

✔️ Weekly reports in plain English (not just confusing charts)

✔️ Monthly strategy calls to fine-tune and scale

✔️ Full access to data—so you’re never left in the dark

👑 Result? You feel fully in control of your marketing and growth.

🚀 Real Success Story: How One Coach Scaled to $50K/Month with the Right Ad Strategy

One of our clients—a business coach—came to us frustrated after burning $10K on ads with a previous agency.

Within 90 days of working with us:

We cut their cost per client by 50%

Doubled their monthly revenue

Built a scalable, predictable ad funnel

🔥 The difference? We stopped focusing on vanity metrics and built a strategy that actually converted.

🔥 What to Do Next (If You’re Ready to Fix Your Ads)

If you’ve tried Facebook Ads before and they didn’t work, chances are you just need a better strategy—not to give up on ads completely.

📌 Option 1: Book a Call – Let’s chat about your current ads and see if we’re a fit.

📌 Option 2: Free Ad Audit – I’ll personally audit your campaigns and show you where the leaks are.

Final Thoughts: Facebook Ads Work—If You Run Them the Right Way

Facebook ads aren’t the problem—the wrong strategy is.

If you’re serious about scaling your coaching business with ads, the key is:

Focusing on revenue, not vanity metrics

Building an ad strategy that matches your offer

Working with an agency that prioritizes transparency & strategy

If that’s what you’ve been looking for, let’s make it happen.

Sharon Benson

"Jodi has given me amazing results in such little time, it's insane!"

Michelle came to us super frustrated with her lack of results with a "big name" agency. She had dreamed of working with them, but they just didn't deliver on their promises. After a year of losing revenue with failed ad campaigns, Michelle decided to work with Jodi again.

Within 12 days of taking over the account, the ROAS turned positive and the account was able to be scaled beautifully and profitably.

Michelle Marie

"You're the first to bring in sales! I guess I had to kiss a lot of toads before I got a princess!"

Suzanne was introduced to Jodi through an industry friend and marketer who knew Jodi could help Suzanne with her Facebook Ads. Before working with Jodi, Suzanne had made exactly ZERO sales from Facebook Ads. That all changed with Jodi's strategic advice and approach, allowing Suzanne to feel confident about her offers and funnels again.
