Why Your Ads Bring Price-Askers, Not Buyers
A price-asker is someone who writes "how much?" and disappears. This is often a result of the ad and the page, not chance.
In short
- An ad looks for the action you ask for: a message or a click is often the cheapest one.
- Price-focused text and a very wide audience attract price-askers.
- One or two qualifying questions and a clear offer raise the share of serious inquiries.
Who is a price-asker
This person writes "how much?", gets an answer and stops replying. They are not a bad customer: they simply do not yet know what they need, so they compare by price.
Why it happens
- The ad finds the cheapest action: if the goal is a click or a message, that is what you get
- The text talks about price or discounts, not about who the offer is for
- The audience is very wide
- The page does not explain what the offer includes and who it suits
- Sending an inquiry needs no qualifying question
How to attract buyers
- Write who the offer is for and what it includes
- Add one or two qualifying questions to the form, for example a budget range
- Optimize for leads or sales, not clicks
- Send people to a page where the offer is fully described
- Count the Lead event and check which inquiries became sales

Frequently asked questions
Is it normal to get price questions?
Yes, it is common. It becomes a problem when most of your inquiries end there.
Should I show the price in the ad?
It depends on the business. Showing a starting price or a range filters people early. If you cannot name a price, show what the offer includes and who it is for.
How do I know the inquiries are good?
Look at what happens after the inquiry: calls answered, offers sent, sales. The cost of an inquiry alone does not show its quality. See also how to run Facebook and Instagram ads.
