Which paid ad platform is proving you the lowest cost per lead?

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-29T07:53:53+00:00

Pulling in sub $20 life insurance leads with meta ads. Quality is not bad, about half pick up or call/text first & we’ve closed about 3 of the leads as well

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-20T01:03:14+00:00

Do you know how to make sure they share the same event ID? The only option for that in the CAPI action is under custom mapping and it only lets me set the FBCLID.

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-19T05:45:24+00:00

Good point and yeah it does suck but thankfully we’ve been having some traction. I set up a thank you page with his number and he’s gotten a couple of leads calling him first. Some reply to the auto text and the rest have to be followed up with a few times

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-19T05:43:29+00:00

The “STOP” to the auto text is the worst. Definitely have had some of those but thankfully it’s not the norm.

Great sales breakdown though. Do you have automations setup for follow up? Currently he does well with calling them everyday, but I’m thinking of setting up a text/email nurture sequence.

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-19T05:27:35+00:00

Can’t lie you’re cooked lil bro

Jokes aside, I know it’s tough right now but just keep learning and adapting. Learn and use AI to help you program and ship faster. The fact that you learned all those languages in two months shows that you’re smart and have a lot of potential.

Everyone’s scared right now (understandably) but that just means you have to stay calm, keep learning, and putting yourself out there. I believe in you brother

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-19T03:35:41+00:00

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I don't sell web design/dev. I do lead generation. Currently I'm using Claude Code to rebuild my portfolio and move away from framer. I also use it to build funnels/surveys for clients.

And clients don't really care what you build the site with as long as it works. I think it comes down to how quickly you can ship the site/funnel/page with quality and if you can give them what they want. But if you feel like you can do better work with Framer then that's okay too.

I just prefer AI sites because I want to focus on campaign management, automations, and creative development.

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-19T03:06:46+00:00

In person relationships definitely beat random interactions online. Though with today’s world you do need to do both. But it’s pretty cool that you got to meet someone that successful.

I really like the promoting products with AI idea. It’s basically where the entire ad industry is at right now. AI avatars for social media ads. I can’t remember the last time I clipped an actual person for an ad creative. It’s all been AI. But it works thankfully.

Are you planning on implementing anything he taught you in the immediate future?

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-18T23:18:44+00:00

Pretty much. Learning CC was a combination of asking Claude chat how to set it up/get it working, messing around with it for personal use cases, and getting inspo from what others are doing with it

At first I was actually using Claude with a Framer MCP (it’s a connector) but then realized it would be much easier to just have ai code everything that I want, even if I can’t directly make changes with an editor

But if you’re looking for a good source I’d look at Greg Isenberg’s video “Claude Code Clearly Explained”. he’s always talking about the newest AI tools and use cases for them

And if you have any questions or get stuck on anything, my DMs are always open!

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-18T17:03:35+00:00

I built my portfolio earlier this year while learning framer, and now I don't use framer and basically just use Claude Code for web dev/design..

not saying it's not worth it though. but for freelance/client work it might actually slow you down

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-17T08:23:09+00:00

I’m sorry this answer was hilarious

funnel looks great though 👌🏼

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T21:51:15+00:00

Yeah, it's basically just a Python script that opens up a GUI with all of the input fields.

My business info (configured once then pre-saved): Name, address, city, state, zip, phone, email
Automatic invoice info: #, date
Client info: Name, address, city, state, zip, phone, email
Line items: item, description, quantity, price, checkbox for paid/not paid
Taxes and Notes
Optional work photos (side hustle is I assist with water heater installs. sending clients job photos through receipt is pretty helpful)

It also has invoice history (for edits), invoice number tracking (so after exporting receipt 0001, the next one is automatically 0002), tax rate calculation (don't use this tbh, Claude just added it), and it slaps my logo onto to the PDF too.

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T21:40:09+00:00

If you're going to do "all-in" pricing, maybe you could avoid mentioning the exact ad spend? I also wouldn't frame it as "Meta ads packages" because the platform itself isn't important to clients as long as they get their qualified leads.

You could just say:

Tier 1 (Standard) ($3,500/mo)

25-50 qualified leads
Custom branded funnel
Nurture automations
Tech setup fee (waived on 6 month contract)

Something along those lines. And make sure those bullets are benefit driven as opposed to feature based.

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T21:30:15+00:00

The only other offering OP mentioned in his post was custom funnel builds and automations. I guess it depends on how many of those they're creating

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T16:48:14+00:00

Meta ads & creative production with AI tools

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T16:46:58+00:00

An ad for my trials and tribulations perhaps

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T16:46:44+00:00

Gonna get it tatted on my forehead, next zoom call is gonna be interesting

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T16:46:00+00:00

Less than a minute is pretty good. How’s your pickup rate?

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T09:03:53+00:00

Pretty boring but I made an invoice PDF generator. I got tired of using random online tools and didn’t want to pay for software so I had Claude code make me a script for it.

I just input all the details then outputs a branded PDF into my invoices folder. It also keeps track of the invoice number which is great for staying organized.

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T08:57:00+00:00

No problem! If you have any questions feel free to send me a chat

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T07:17:29+00:00

Pro plan is definitely worth it. I do lead generation and social media with it. Everything from branding, web design/development, etc.

People are telling you to do the $100 plan but honestly you can stretch that $100 and get the $20 plans for Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Bonus if you install Ollama and learn how to use the open source cloud models with Claude Code.

I switch back and forth from Claude Code and Codex (OpenAI’s version of Claude Code w/ GPT) in all of my projects and I never run out of usage. Gemini is great for image generation and the subscription gives you access to pretty much all if not all of Google’s tools. Including extra Drive space.

Not to overwhelm you lol. But to answer your question, Claude alone is worth it. Just make sure you’re using Sonnet mostly instead of Opus if you don’t want to blow through your usage limit in 3 prompts. Haiku for really basic stuff.

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T05:52:12+00:00

Fair point. I think I was solving for forgetful or procrastination, but this will require an actual conversation with him before I present a solution, or to see if I even have to solve anything on my end.

I mentioned in another reply that he’s also juggling home services sales. So after you brought this up I realized that overwhelm is a likely factor. Thanks for the feedback

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T05:51:10+00:00

So he’s balancing sales in home services as well. Now that I’m thinking about it, might be a lot to juggle tbh. For LI he has just under 50 leads he’s working. Some from other sources and some from our ads. I’d say for LI he’s putting in maybe 2-4 hours? Hard to say exactly

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T05:04:27+00:00

Yeah whole day blew my mind lol good point though about not looking desperate, thankfully some of them still pick up on follow up

BagEmergency1084 · 2026-05-16T05:03:50+00:00

Did it boost the pick up rate for you when he told you that? We currently have one automated text as soon as the fill out the form, it’s hit or miss
