ROAS by Group (P1 vs P2)
If the improvement was seasonal (market conditions, Bitcoin price, etc.), we'd expect all asset groups to improve — not just the ones with landing pages. The 6 non-LP groups that had data in both periods serve as a natural control.

LP groups outperformed across every aggregate metric
Non-LP ROAS actually declined 10% while LP ROAS grew 53%. Conv rate lift was 2.7x stronger in LP groups (+51% vs +19%). The improvement is not seasonal — it's the landing pages.

  • It's not seasonal — it's the landing pages. Non-LP ROAS declined 10% while LP ROAS grew 53%. If this were a market-wide trend, all groups would have improved equally. They didn't.
  • LP groups improved 2.7x more on conv rate — LP groups: +51% conv rate lift. Non-LP groups: only +19%. The landing pages are pre-qualifying intent before visitors hit the product page.
  • air-gap / privacy / lp is the standout — went from 0 conversions in C1 to 2, and CPP in C2 fell 56% ($275 → $121). The privacy landing page is clearly resonating.
  • Non-LP results were inconsistent — only 1 of 6 non-LP groups clearly improved (C2 Beginner), while 1 regressed and 4 were mixed. LP groups showed more consistent gains (3 of 4 improved).
  • Volume caveat — LP groups had only 399 clicks in P2 vs 1,833 for non-LP groups. The trends are encouraging but should be validated at higher spend and longer time horizons.
