The challenge

The business needed a steady flow of leads at a predictable cost, and wanted to know which channel, instant forms or WhatsApp conversations, gave cheaper leads.

Campaign breakdown

  • Meta Leads (Jun 25): 512 leads at ₹68.52 CPL on ₹500/day
  • WhatsApp (Jun 24): 286 conversations at ₹54.72, the cheapest channel
  • Meta Leads (Jun 3): 429 leads at ₹66.45 CPL
  • WhatsApp (Jun 1 and Jun 10): 452 conversations at ₹56.91 and ₹61.33

What we learned

  • WhatsApp ran about 15–20% cheaper per lead than Meta forms
  • ABO across every campaign, for direct control per ad set
  • Video creative only, in all six campaigns
  • Cost per lead never went above ₹75
