The Challenge
A local business was struggling to generate leads and drive conversions through their Facebook advertising efforts, resulting in low return on investment. Despite steady ad spend, cost per lead was high (CPL > $35), conversion rates below 2%, and the campaign failed to reach quality prospects. Inconsistent creative testing and broad targeting caused ad fatigue and poor relevance scores.
The Solution
I designed and executed a targeted Facebook ads campaign, utilizing advanced targeting techniques (custom audiences, lookalikes, detailed demographic+interest stacking) and continuous optimization to improve ad performance. Implemented A/B testing framework, dynamic creative, retargeting sequences, and conversion-focused landing pages. Weekly creative refreshes and bid adjustments maximized efficiency.
