Capture qualified contact info from interested potential customers — measured by CPL, lead quality, lead-to-sale rate.
Last updated: March 18, 2026
When to Use
High-ticket products needing sales conversation (B2B SaaS, professional services, real estate, financial).
Platforms & Formats
Platforms: Meta Lead Ads (in-platform fill — 3× more leads). LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms (highest B2B quality). Google Search (highest intent). YouTube for trust-building.. Formats: Process Steps (show value → invite more), Testimonial Proof (peer endorsement → CTA), Income Calculator (ROI → talk to advisor), Educational (value → email exchange).
Budget
50–70% of budget for service businesses. 60% Google (intent), 30% Meta (volume), 10% LinkedIn (quality). CPL: $20–$50 B2C, $50–$200 B2B.
Measurement
CPL is start, lead-to-sale rate is truth. $100 lead at 20% = $500 CAC. $20 lead at 2% = $1,000 CAC. Cheap leads aren't good leads.
Common Mistake
Optimising lowest CPL not quality. Meta gives $5 leads all day — if unqualified, they waste sales time. Add qualifying questions even though CPL rises.
