Where Instacart accounts leak money, and what we fix first

  • Ads running on empty shelves

    The problemInstacart ads can keep spending while a retailer is out of stock.

    What we doWe watch availability by retailer and pause spend where the shelf is empty.

  • One plan for every retailer

    The problemEach retailer on Instacart has its own shoppers, prices and stock.

    What we doBids and budgets are set by retailer and time of day, not as one flat campaign.

  • Promotions run separately from ads

    The problemCoupons that are not tied to campaigns are easy to miss.

    What we doWe line up Instacart promotions with ads, so the offer shows where the spend goes.

  • Measuring only ROAS

    The problemROAS cannot show whether ads win new households.

    What we doWe report new-to-brand sales and basket size, and compare against control periods.
