Facebook Lead Ads

Facebook and Instagram Lead Ads (Facebook Instant Forms in Ads Manager), are lead forms that can be attached to your ads on Facebook and Instagram.

The forms are native to Facebook, so load instantly. They pre-fill with the users profile information to save time with a simple experience on mobile.

This results in great performance for marketers too. We usually see a 50% lower cost per lead compared with sending to a website landing page.

1. The user sees an ad in their Facebook News feed or Instagram timeline.
2. They click on the call to action and a lead form loads instantly.
3. The form is pre-filled with their profile information, or the user can add correct details.
4. At the end of the form you can add custom disclaimers, privacy policy and multiple consent checkboxes.
5. The customer submits the form.
6. The lead details can be downloaded via CSV or synced to your CRM using Driftrock.

Yes! Facebook Lead Ads are a great way to drive lower cost leads at scale.

• We usually see a 50% lower cost per lead compared to website lead forms.
• However, make sure you ask enough questions and target the right audiences to ensure quality leads.
• Like any campaign, make sure you add a number of variations and optimise the campaign after it goes live.

Read our full Facebook Lead Ads Guide here. But here's a few quick tips to get you started:

• Generally the few questions you ask, the lower the cost.
• However, with Facebook & Instagram Lead Ads, adding more questions won't increase costs a huge amount - the algorithm seeks people more likely to fill out your form.
• Make it clear what they customer is signing up for and ask qualification questions to ensure good quality.
• Turn on the setting to enable confirmation if you are struggling with lead quality.
• Remember that the user only has the ad and the form to understand why they should sign up, so make sure you communicate the value clearly.
• Follow up as soon as possible. You can see as much as a 9X increase in conversion rates if you respond within 5 minutes.
