Meta can produce leads at a very low cost. The trouble starts when those leads do not answer, did not understand the offer or never had the budget. The sales team spends its week chasing people who were never going to buy, while the campaign still looks good on the dashboard.
Most failed campaigns were decided before launch: an offer nobody wanted, tracking that never fired, creative that blended into the feed and no follow up after the lead arrived.
Meta Ads Lead Generation at Madvert Labs addresses those causes directly, so cost per lead is always read alongside lead quality and what happens next.
