Meta only keeps detailed results for 37 months: the figures therefore start in mid-2023.

My method

How do I achieve these cost reductions per lead?

Illustration d'une équipe qui analyse une courbe sur un tableau

Measure accurately

Conversion tracking is verified before any launch: form, call, sale. Without reliable measurement, no decline can be demonstrated.

Test large

Multiple ads, audiences and landing pages competing from launch, with a cost per targeted lead.

Cut and reinforce

I cut what doesn't convert and I strengthen what works: that's where the cost per lead decreases.

Follow the transformation

A cheap lead that never signs is useless: I also track the conversion rate of leads with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What I'm being asked about these results

Are these figures verifiable?

They come directly from my clients' Google Ads, Meta Ads, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and WooCommerce accounts. During a meeting, I can show you more elements via screen sharing.

Why are some customers anonymous?

A company's campaign data is confidential: costs, volumes, keywords. I only mention a client by name with their permission, such as Groupe Rénovation de France, Initiativ'Énergie, and MCY France.

Why compare one year to another?

The first few weeks are used to test ads, audiences, and pages, and campaigns generally stabilize within the first month. Comparing two years then reveals the effect of long-term management: new ads, refined audiences, and a budget focused on what converts.

Why are some campaigns being stopped?

A campaign tracks the client's activity. Energy renovation campaigns were reduced when the MaPrimeRénov' subsidies changed. Others stopped at the end of a program or with the launch of new products.

What cost per lead can I expect in my sector?

For these accounts, the cost ranges from approximately €7 for charging stations to €30 for tax relief. Your cost will depend on your location, your plan, and your landing page. I will provide you with a free estimate after analyzing your account.

Can you achieve the same results for me?

I don't promise figures upfront: every market is different. I show you what the same method has produced elsewhere, then we set a realistic cost-per-lead target with you from the outset.
