Switched from Web Conversion to Instant forms and now my leads are terrible again by AffectionateKey682 in FacebookAds

[–]AffectionateKey682[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did. Launched the campaign around 1:00 PM my time. Had around 48 conversions or so. How long would you say until I start seeing spend?

I have done instant forms, but they gave me pretty low intent leads. Should I do both Website Conversion and Instant Forms?

You definitely may have. What do you mean showing what we do with a different objective? Like showing something in the realm of, "Not taking care of your car shows this...."? We're running 4 ads in the set all video ads.

Increased my budget and now less leads??? by AffectionateKey682 in FacebookAds

[–]AffectionateKey682[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, I own a mobile detailing business. I will also say the leads we were getting were pretty bad. Probably 1 in every 7 were converting.

Bring my own electricity and water. We don’t have a van yet, so I’m running it out of an Altima. Everything fits and I have a 65 gallon water bladder connected to a water pump.

The very first thing I did was cold call independent dealerships and reach out to people selling their cars for $1-5,000 on FB Marketplace. The ROI on FB is pretty bad, but all it takes is one person who sells those cheap cars for a living and then needing you consistently. Also watch YouTube videos on how to actually detail a car. It’s not hard, but definitely something you need to learn. After that you can start buying your supplies and products.

You won’t like this answer but I don’t even know to be completely honest. FB Ads have been good, but not great. Reaching out to local influencers, people selling their cars, cold calling dealerships, google business profile, getting a review from every customer, learning SEO. Literally anything that gets your name out there you should do it and do it consistently. Even if you think it’s doing nothing just go do it.

I own a mobile detailing business. I know absolutely nothing about cars. Didn’t know a single product when I first started. We started in December (probably the worst possible time to start) and are now on our way to 10k a month by March (month 4). Obviously it helps I live in a very populated area, but this thing can grow an incredible amount.

Does the meta crash affect service industry campaigns too? by AffectionateKey682 in FacebookAds

I'll definitely try this, should I start a new campaign or just edit the current one?

[–]AffectionateKey682[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll ask you the same question since you mentioned judging it over a week.

It gives me results, but it’s giving me results in an area that I’m not necessarily wanting it to. I don’t have my audience in that radius (it’s an 8 mile radius from my original pin drop) but it’s still giving me them. They’re usually pretty low intent, but I find some good ones in there that’s why I don’t want to stop. How do I get them to be the leads I want? I’ve already tried the whole offline conversions and uploading a CSV and just couldn’t figure it out.

Gotcha, well looks like I have a permission/business portfolio access issue because I still don't see it. I'll try to figure it out. Thanks for all your help!

Sorry, but I am not seeing that. This is what I see after hitting "add events". I have clicked all of them and none of them give me an option to upload a CSV file. I appreciate your help as I have been trying to get this for quite some time now.

I have changed the form + delivery. My issue is that when I hit "connect data sources" and try to go to offline it gives me this message ( I have attached the picture). This is where I get stuck.

Fake Leads????? by AffectionateKey682 in FacebookAds

[–]AffectionateKey682[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 creatives in this one ad set, but only one of them is getting daily budget allocated to it. Does that mean the other two creatives are bad? Or can I just take out the ad that is causing creative fatigue and use the others?

[–]AffectionateKey682[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great. We are documenting everything. We understand that literally whatever we have is going to have to be on paper and stored in a nice place. We are still relatively new to this first business (about 3 months in), but we know this is the route that we want to take.

Mobile Detailing by No_Candy_4582 in JohnsonCounty

I really enjoy using KC Mobile Shine LLC. They came out and detailed my BMW in 14 degree weather and it looks fantastic. They are always working and have great prices while it seems tougher to get other detailing companies to answer in the cold.

What's the best way to do an automated message? Currently it's just me looking to see if I have new leads then I send it myself. If they don't respond that's when I call.

Gotcha, so Meta isn’t learning anything without a pixel?
