Your ₹5 Lakh/Month Meta Ads Budget Just Became a Liability

It was 3 AM when Arjun texted me: "My CAC just doubled. I'm spending ₹5 lakhs a month, but my profit margin dropped from 40% to 8%. If this doesn’t turn around in 2 weeks, I’m getting fired."

He wasn’t panicking, just facing reality.

I’ve heard this story dozens of times from D2C founders like you—not because they’re bad marketers, but because Meta ads demand precision once you hit a scale wall where just "spending more" stops working.

Most waste precious weeks with random fixes before they find the real problem.

I created The Meta Wizard Playbook to help you diagnose and fix this in just 7 days.

Why Your CAC Doubled (And Why It’s Probably Not What You Think)

Most founders blame product, market shifts, or creative failures when their CAC doubles.

Usually, that’s not the real reason.

Your CAC doubled because one of five root causes happened—and you may be trying to fix the wrong one.

From my work with Haldiram, PNG Gadgil, Kohler, and 30+ Indian D2C brands spending ₹3L-₹50L monthly, I’ve found this pattern:

When CAC spikes, it’s always one of these:

Audience Fatigue – Same people are bombarded with your ad, CPM rises first, conversions drop despite steady CTR.
Creative Decay – Ad stops engaging; CTR crashes, CPC spikes, new audiences convert better.
Targeting Drift – Clicks from wrong audience; low CPC but poor conversions, landing page visits with no buys.
Scaled Too Fast – Budget jumps 50%+ too quickly, algorithm gets confused, metrics collapse.
Market Shift – Increased competition, iOS changes, seasonal effects hit everyone.

Here’s the catch: 90% of founders waste money fixing the wrong problems (#2, #3, or #4) when the actual issue is usually Audience Fatigue.

They lose ₹10-₹15 lakhs guessing.

The 7-Day Diagnostic That Changed Everything

Priya, a skincare founder, panicked:

"My CTR dropped from 2.1% to 0.8% in two weeks. I paused audiences, changed targeting, and reshot creatives — nothing helped. I was bleeding money."

She misdiagnosed the issue as Targeting Drift when it was actually Creative Decay. ₹2 lakh wasted on the wrong fix.

But if she had spent 15 minutes with my diagnostic worksheet, she would have known immediately.

The diagnostic asks 3 simple questions:

Which metric spiked FIRST (CPM? CTR? CPC?)
When exactly did it spike?
What changed around then (audience, creative, budget)?

Answer those, and you know your root cause.

From there, the fix takes 7 days — not weeks of guesswork.

These are not exceptions — they’re the norm when you fix the right problem.
