I find that many clients obsess over click-through rates, but I believe it's overrated. It doesn't always correlate with actual conversions. What metrics do you think clients focus on too much?

Yes agree with you both. I think return on ad spend should be the focus instead, as it gives a clearer picture of performance.

I'd add to that, social media likes. Clients often misinterpret them as success, but they don't represent actual engagement or sales.
