The story
The pain
We're spending money on Meta Lead Ads and cold outreach, but the leads we get are mostly spam or low quality. Instant forms from Meta are filled with fake leads from bots, and our cold calling efforts are yielding almost no real customers. We need a way to generate actual, qualified leads without wasting our budget.

We ran Meta Lead Ads (instant forms), but the leads were low quality and the CAC was pretty high.
I have a local lead gen site with a GBP that got about 45 calls in June. I asked a former client who answered calls from a couple of my other sites, and he said 90–95% were spam (mostly SEO/advertising sales calls) & only a handful were actual customers.
We've been trying to get clients for our digital marketing agency, mainly in the UAE. We ran Meta Lead Ads (instant forms), but the leads were low quality and the CAC was pretty high.
Currently working with a guy and paying him £500 per month in which he works 2 days a week and does cold calling. We’ve had about 5 calls from this in about 4 months but nothing yet, so I’ve spent 2k with no return.
