The client wants to run a cold campaign
with “Leads” as the objective and decided
to use “Messenger” as the conversion
location instead of “Website” since that’s a
new update from Meta.
We then created a message template
named “Cold Message Lead Gen Ad-” that will collect the email, first
name, and last name of the leads via
automated chat.
Lastly, we’ll make use of a third-party
software “Zapier” to help connect our new
lead from Facebook to the Systeme.io
website of the client.

The client said that the amount of the total leads collected from Systeme.io
is more accurate than Facebook Ads Manager's total leads. Therefore we
will refer to the 1,441 Leads as the actual result.
We also achieved our goal of having at least 1000 Leads for the month of
March! Therefore, the client decided to turn off the Cold Campaign.

The client achieved her goal of collecting at least 1000
leads for March 2025 in just 3 days of running ads.
The success of this cold campaign isn’t just luck - it’s

The client only spent ₱4.57 ($0.079) per link click,
meaning the creative selected resonated well with the
target audience.
The client only spent ₱9.88 ($0.17) per lead, meaning her
budget was well allocated and well spent.
By setting up the campaign, ad set, and ad level

killing underperforming ones based on the client’s
instructed metrics—the results obtained aligned with
the client’s goals, maximizing ROAS and ensuring
