The story

Where the bookings come from.

Reservations complete off-domain, so we read them in GA4, not in Meta. Here is the funnel.

01
1,476

Booking starts

People who reached the booking page from all sources; 1,065 unique visitors started a reservation. Up 24% vs prior 30 days.

02
465

Reservations completed

Completed bookings worth $14,163 over the period. Up 77% vs prior 30 days.

03
32%

Checkout completion

32% of started bookings are completed. Cutting the 68% drop-off is the biggest lever. Was 22% in the prior 30 days.

Booking funnel

Where drivers leave the checkout.

The reservation checkout runs on Wayleadr, and every screen of it has its own web address, so we can count how many drivers reach each one and see exactly where they leave. Counts are unique drivers, all traffic.

Most of the drop-off is on one screen. 1,070 drivers reach choose time & duration (price shows) and 521 carry on to name & email, so 549 leave right there. The ladder tracks the standard booking path, so its last screen (131) sits below the 465 reservations GA4 records for the same period. Read the table for where drivers leave, not for the final total.

How the drop-off is moving.

Each percentage is the share of drivers who carry on from the screen above it, so a period with more traffic can be compared with one that had less. The short window comes first because a 30-day average takes weeks to show a change.

The receipt screen is where the ladder moved most. 52% of drivers carried on to receipt, against 68% in the prior 30 days, the largest change on the ladder. Over the last 30 days, 49% of drivers carried on from choose time & duration (price shows), up from 44% in the prior 30 days. The last 7 days sit at 51%, above that average, so the current level is better than the 30-day average shows.
Meta Ads

Traffic to the booking page.

Meta drives visitors to the site and the booking flow. Reservations complete off-domain, so they are counted in the funnel above, not here.

The ads doing the work

Ranked by clicks sent to the booking page. The booking completes off-domain, so an ad is judged on the traffic it sends, not on a conversion Meta cannot see.

Hook rate is the share of people shown the ad who stayed past 3 seconds. Hold rate is the share of those who kept watching to ThruPlay, 15 seconds or the end. 19 creatives carried spend this period and 12 of them went live inside it.

What's next

Where we take it from here.

Each move ties back to what this window proved.

Operating plan

The next window.

  • Retarget the drivers who start a booking and leave on the price screen.
  • Scale placements that send the most booking starts, not just clicks.
  • Hold Google on Purchase so bidding chases completed reservations, not checkout starts.
The next chapter

Now we grow the bookings.

We drive more booking-page traffic and work the checkout drop-off so more starts become reservations.
