Conversion Action Breakdown

Submit School Trip Form
Valid114

Actual form submission for school trip inquiries. This is a real, verifiable conversion action.

Store Visits (estimated)
Critical72

Google's modeled estimate of in-store visits, not verified foot traffic. These are statistical projections, not confirmed business outcomes.

Calls from Ads
Warning43

Counts call button clicks from ads. Partially real — no duration filter means short or accidental calls are included.

Submit Lead Form
Valid9

Actual lead form submission. This is a real, verifiable conversion action.

Website Calls
Valid3

Calls initiated from the website. Real conversion, though no call duration filter is applied.

Evidence of Inflated Tracking

01

Store Visits are Google estimates — 72 Store Visits are statistical projections by Google, not verified foot traffic. These inflate the conversion count by 29.9%.

02

Fractional conversion values on keywords — Keywords like "birthday party venues near me" show 46.83 conversions and "funstation staten island" shows 45.33. Real bookings are whole numbers.

03

Suspiciously high conversion rates — The SI Children's Birthday Party (ClickFunnel) ad group shows a 34.09% conversion rate from only 155 clicks. Typical booking rates are 2-5%.

04

True CPA is 1.4x higher than reported — Reported CPA of $11.85 drops to a true CPA of $16.89 when estimated Store Visits are excluded from the conversion count.

Search Term Waste Analysis

Finding #2 — Critical severity

96.8% of Search Terms Are Unmanaged

Out of 10,283 unique search terms, only 325 have been added or excluded. The remaining 9,958 are completely unmanaged — no negative keywords, no exclusions, no optimization.

Keyword Strategy Audit

Finding #3 — Warning severity

28.3% of Keywords Use Broad Match — Driving 45.6% of Search Term Clicks

With 36 out of 127 keywords on Broad Match and max CPC bids set to $0.01, Google has near-total control over which searches trigger ads.

Keywords with Impossible Conversion Rates

These keywords report more conversions than clicks — mathematically impossible with real conversion tracking.

funstation staten island9945.3345.79%
indoor arcade staten island9516.1717.02%
birthday party venues near me26946.8317.41%

A conversion rate above 100% means more conversions are being recorded than clicks received. This is definitive proof that the conversion tracking is counting behavioral events (page views, scroll depth, time on site) as conversions.

Key Observations

Birthday Party Bookings is the primary revenue driver

60% of budget, 67% of conversions. The ClickFunnel ad groups within this campaign drive the highest conversion rates (9.30% and 34.09%).

Walk-Ins & Daily Fun has a higher CPA

At $14.60 per conversion vs. $10.52 for Birthday Parties, the Walk-Ins campaign is 39% less efficient. The Arcade ad group within it has the highest CTR (8.75%) but also the highest CPC ($1.23).

No dedicated School Trip campaign

School Trip Form submissions are the #1 conversion action (114 total), yet there is no dedicated campaign or ad group targeting school trip keywords. This is a major missed opportunity.

Account Structure Audit

Findings #4 & #5 — Warning severity

Account Structure Needs Improvement — Only 1 RSA Per Ad Group

The account has 8 ad groups but only 1 RSA per active ad group. Google recommends 3+ responsive search ads for proper A/B testing. Three ad groups are paused, and ads split traffic between two different domains.

Landing Page Issue

Ads split traffic between two domains:

offer-funstationsi.com (ClickFunnel) & funstationsi.com (Main Site)

Fragmented Landing Page Strategy

Birthday party ads split traffic between offer-funstationsi.com (ClickFunnel) and funstationsi.com/services-4-1. Walk-in ads point to funstationsi.com/team-1 — a team page, not a dedicated landing page.

Typo in Ad Copy: "Stated Island"

Multiple ads contain "Fun Station | Stated Island" instead of "Staten Island." This typo appears in the Arcade, SI Children's Birthday Party, and Laser Tag ads.

No A/B Testing Possible

With a single landing page, there's no way to test different messaging, layouts, or CTAs to improve conversion rates.

Wasted spend visualization

The Bottom Line

Fun Station's account structure has potential but needs refinement. With only 1 RSA per active ad group, no A/B testing is possible. The ClickFunnel landing page drives higher conversion rates (9.30% and 34.09%) compared to the main site (3.32%), suggesting consolidation could improve results. The highest-volume conversion action (114 School Trip Forms) has no dedicated campaign.

Recommendations & Next Steps

Prioritized action plan for improvement

Audit Summary

29.9% of Conversions Are Inflated

25/100

The account reports 241 conversions, but only 169 are actual business outcomes. 72 Store Visits are Google’s modeled estimates, artificially lowering the apparent CPA.

96.8% of Search Terms Are Unmanaged

20/100

Out of 10,283 unique search terms, only 325 have been added or excluded. 875 terms generated zero conversions, wasting $1,033 of the $2,855 total budget.

Keyword Match Types Need Optimization

40/100

28.3% of keywords use Broad Match, and 45.6% of search term clicks come from Broad Match — driving irrelevant traffic. 53 keywords are not eligible and 15 have been removed.

Account Structure Needs Improvement

45/100

Only 2 campaigns with 8 ad groups, but 3 ad groups are paused. Each active ad group has only 1 RSA — Google recommends 3+ for proper testing.

Landing Page Strategy Is Fragmented

50/100

Ads split traffic between two domains — offer-funstationsi.com (ClickFunnel) and funstationsi.com — with no clear conversion tracking alignment.

Priority Action Plan

1

Fix Conversion Tracking

Week 1

Remove Store Visits from conversion tracking — these are Google estimates, not real foot traffic

Keep School Trip Form, Lead Form, and Website Calls as primary conversions

Add call duration filter (30s+) to Calls from Ads to exclude accidental clicks

Implement Google Tag Manager for unified, accurate tracking across both domains

2

Implement Negative Keywords

Week 1-2

Add competitor brand exclusions (Urban Zone, Pokiddo, NRG Adventure Park, Fun Galaxy, etc.)

Exclude irrelevant activities (bowling, indoor playground, trampoline park, events)

Exclude generic queries ("near me" without intent, "staten island events", "things to do")

Set up weekly search term review process — 9,958 unmanaged terms need attention

3

Restructure Account

Week 2-3

Add 2+ more RSA variants per active ad group for proper A/B testing

Fix "Stated Island" typo in multiple ads immediately

Create a dedicated School Trip campaign — 114 form submissions deserve their own budget

Switch Broad Match keywords to Phrase/Exact Match for core terms

4

Build Dedicated Landing Pages

Week 3-4

Consolidate on the higher-converting ClickFunnel landing page or build dedicated pages

Create a dedicated arcade/walk-in landing page instead of using the team page

Build a school trip landing page to capture the highest-volume conversion action

Implement A/B testing between ClickFunnel and main site pages
