What are the Five Doors?
Our Five Door Method
Our marketing framework is designed to diagnose and fix issues in paid ad campaigns across platforms. Our team identifies five key “doors” that potential customers must go through before becoming paying customers. Each door represents a potential bottleneck that could hinder campaign success. Using this method, our team can pinpoint where customers are getting stuck and optimize accordingly.
Door One
Platform
Key Question: Are you advertising on the right platform for your target audience?
Metrics to Monitor:
Click-Through Rate (CTR)
Cost Per Click (CPC)
Impression Share (Google Ads)
Demographics reports
Example: If your audience is under 20 years old, TikTok may be better than Facebook. Use Google Keyword Planner to confirm search volume for relevant terms before running Google Ads.
Door Two
Creative & Art
Key Question: Does your ad creative grab attention and resonate with the audience?
Metrics to Monitor:
Engagement Rate (likes, shares, comments)
Video Completion Rate
Ad Relevance Score (Meta Ads)
Bounce Rate (on landing pages)
Conversion Rate
Example: For a home cleaning service, a before-and-after video could engage viewers better than a static image. Test bold headlines in Google Ads.
Door Three
Targeting
Key Question: Are your ads reaching the right people?
Metrics to Monitor:
Audience Overlap
Conversion Rate by Audience Segment
Cost Per Result (CPR)
Keyword Performance (Google Ads)
Frequency (ad fatigue)
Example: A plumbing service should target “new homeowners” within a specific radius to avoid wasting budget.
Door Four
Ad Engagement
Key Question: Are users engaging with your ad and taking the next step smoothly?
Metrics to Monitor:
Form Completion Rate
Landing Page Load Time
Click-to-Lead Rate
Mobile Usability
Abandonment Rate
Example: Ensure forms are short and easy to complete. Make landing pages fast and mobile-friendly.
Door Five
Sales
Key Question: Are your sales processes efficient and converting leads into paying customers?
Metrics to Monitor:
Lead Response Time (under 10 minutes is ideal)
Lead-to-Sale Conversion Rate
Follow-Up Frequency
Customer Communication Preferences
Sales Cycle Length
Example: An HVAC company should ask on forms how a customer prefers to be contacted (call, text, or email) and follow up promptly.
