I ran ads in niche subreddits. CPC was very low, and CTR was decent, but almost no leads came through. The content was relevant, landing page looked solid. Is Reddit traffic just low intent, or am I doing something wrong?

Try content that matches the sub’s tone. Too ‘salesy’ and they bounce.
 
What niche is it? Maybe it's best to engage conversations with other users in those subreddits.
 
Native-style landing pages perform better, don’t make it look like a funnel.
 
Test multiple subreddits. Some small communities convert better than large ones, even if CPC is slightly higher.
 
Keep your ad fresh with frequent creative updates, and optimize your bids
 
You tried hard, but one change is needed. Test multiple subreddits. Some small communities convert better than large ones, even if CPC is slightly higher.Thank you .
 
Try running polls or content-style ads before asking for leads, works better on Reddit.
 
Reddit traffic’s super curious but not always ready to convert so maybe tweak the offer or try a softer lead-in.
 
Reddit clicks are cheap but folks there need more warming up so try building trust first before pushing for leads.
 
Yeah, Reddit traffic’s super curious but low intent—try warmer subs, conversational copy, or retargeting to squeeze real leads out of it.
 
If the ads are working, then it's your offer or landing page.
 
Reddit traffic tends to have lower intent since users are there for discussions, not to buy, so even with good CTR, converting to leads can be tough.
 
Reddit traffic is cheap but tricky, you’ll need sharper copy and more targeted audiences to get actual conversions.
 
Reddit clicks are cheap but mostly curious users, not buyers, it works better for awareness or warming audiences than direct lead gen.
 
Reddit traffic is low intent, so even with good content, conversions can be tough.

Click to expand...
Reddit traffic is usually low intent, people like to read not buy, you need very native-style posts and a soft funnel to get leads.
