We worked with QuickEats in the food & delivery industry to optimize their instagram stories, facebook stories campaigns.
The Challenge
Story ads lagged behind feed while budgets favored vertical placement. Text overlays sat in the swipe area and pricing was hidden inside body copy.
The Insight
Adalyze spotted text overlapping the interaction zone, weak figure/ground separation, and no price anchor for decision speed.
"We always suspected Stories needed different rules—this made it obvious and fast to fix."
— Ashwin M., Marketing Manager, QuickEats
The Solution
Moved copy to the top third, added a ₹199 anchor in a high-contrast badge, and used a bold CTA chip aligned to the thumb zone.
The Results
Swipe-ups increased 55% and CPA fell 26% at the same audience size. Delivery windows filled faster on weekends.
