Meta Ads Lead Generation CPL ↓ 68% | Leads ↑ 3×

Client Overview

The objective was to improve lead generation efficiency while keeping the advertising budget controlled.

Challenge

• Cost per lead reached $304, making campaigns unprofitable
• Weak conversion efficiency from traffic
• Poor alignment between audience targeting and service intent

The account was rebuilt with improved targeting, structured audience segmentation, and performance-based budget allocation.

Results after optimization

• Leads increased (4 → 12 leads)
• Cost per lead reduced 68% ($304 → $96)
• CPM decreased 23%
• Link clicks increased 1,122 → 1,306

The optimized campaign structure significantly improved lead generation efficiency while reducing acquisition cost.
