The story

1

The challenge

  • Leads came in from finance, consignment and contact forms, but nobody could see which channel produced them.
  • There was no clean handoff into Salesforce.
  • Meta and Google Ads needed a structure that could be measured.
2

What we did

  • Audited GA4, GTM and Meta, including Pixel and Conversions API.
  • Built a Zapier flow from website forms into Salesforce.
  • Rebuilt Meta into top, middle and bottom funnel campaigns with creative tests.
  • Added a monthly report so performance is reviewed, not guessed.
3

The results

  • Creative test V2: 338 leads at NZ$6.75 each.
  • Lookalike audience: 222 leads at NZ$6.29 each.
  • Catalogue campaign: 37,450 landing page views at NZ$0.02 each.

What’s next

  • Shift budget toward the lowest cost audiences and creative.
  • Judge campaigns on lead quality from Salesforce, not only cost per lead.
  • Complete the Google Ads relaunch.
Method: the V2 creative test cost about half what retargeting cost per lead (NZ$6.75 against NZ$15.86), so new budget goes to creative first.
