What are Lead Ads?
This is a Lead Ad.
It looks like any other Ad.
But when you click on it...
#thinkppc
What are Lead Ads?
There’s no Landing Page.
The data is gathered directly inside Facebook!
And it’s pre-filled!
#thinkppc
What are Lead Ads?
Boom!
I’ve downloaded the eBook in 15 seconds.
Without leaving FB...
Or typing anything!
#thinkppc
Why advertise to generate leads?
Ok, nice!
But why do I need Lead Generation?
I want SALES!
#thinkppc
Why advertise to generate leads?
Leads are a core asset of your business!Lead Generation is a way to build trust and engagement
A good mailing list is an asset that can last forever!
Sending an email is cheaper than any kind of ad
It’s not just about emails - Lead Ads work great with phone numbers too!
#thinkppc
Pros & Cons of Lead Ads
Easy: You’re three clicks away from gathering leads [Pro] No landing page or designer necessary
Works great on mobile [Pro]Users don’t have to type in anything most of the time
Not much space to explain your offer [Con]On landing pages you can add customer testimonials and more context to convince users of your value.
Potentially lower quality data [Con]Most of the emails you’ll gather are personal emails - not business ones.

1) Pick the right offer!To attract quality leads at a low cost you’ll need a killer Lead Magnet
#thinkppc
Top Lead Magnets
● eBooks● Webinars● Checklists● Giveaways● Email Courses● Free Consultations● Physical Products & Trials
#thinkppc
1. Make it Quick to Consume
Lead Magnets should provide immediate gratification
Users won’t be ready to move to the next step until they’re done with the Lead Magnet!
#thinkppc
2. Address a Specific Niche
You’ll never satisfy everyone.
Address your customers’ specific needs.
#thinkppc
3. Use a Call-to-Action
Tell your users what to do after clicking…
and watch your conversion rate go up.
#thinkppc&
2) Target Warm AudiencesUsers who already interacted with your brand are much more likely to convert than total strangers
#thinkppc
Users who already engaged with you are the most likely to share their personal information with you.
Start your Lead Ad experiments by targeting them first!
Start with the easy wins
#thinkppc
The perfect audience
For your first campaign target:Website Custom Audience with everyone who visited your
website in the last 30 days (the longer the timeframe the less likely they are to remember you)
But exclude from your targeting:Custom Audiences with all your customers and existing leads.
If you already have their emails there’s no upside in spending money to get it again
#thinkppc&
3) Less is MoreDon’t ask for too much personal information or you’ll scare your users away!
#thinkppc
The amount of personal data your users will give is proportional to the perceived value they’ll receive from
your lead magnet.

4) Follow Up… IMMEDIATELY!Waiting months before using those leads is like taking a highway to the spam folder!
#thinkppc
This is where most advertisers fail
You create a great Ad
Leads start coming in
You do nothing for 2 months
Then all of a sudden you hit “Send”
The Worst Sin of Lead Ads
#thinkppc
And your leads no longer have a clue who you are.
And why you’re contacting them.
So...
The Worst Sin of Lead Ads
#thinkppc
What to do after a lead comes in
When setting up a new Lead Ad campaign, plan ahead for the next steps:
Follow up immediately: Deliver your lead magnet and introduce yourself
Set expectations: Tell them the frequency of emails you’ll send them and why they’ll want to read them
Build a workflow of emails: Engage with your new leads. Provide them value and convert them into customers!

Once your Lead Ads are up and running, there’s still more value you can get out of them:
Convert Leads into CustomersCreate a Custom Audience with all the users who responded to your lead ad and target them with a new campaign aimed at selling them your product.
Convert “undecided users” into LeadsSome users won’t complete your Lead Ad form. They may not be convinced about your offer, or they may not trust your company. Still - they showed interest in your lead magnet by clicking on the ad. Let’s convert them by creating a custom audience of just them, and this time, send them to a landing page where you can add more details to your offer!
