Why are my Meta ad leads low quality?

Quick answer

Why are my Meta ad leads low quality?

Usually one of three: instant-forms with no qualification, broad targeting with cheap audiences, or weak ad copy that attracts deal-seekers rather than intent.

Diagnostic

  1. If using instant forms: add 2-3 qualifier questions (pot size, timeline)
  2. If targeting is broad: exclude sub-35 and low-value postcodes for HNW offers
  3. If copy is generic: replace "free advice" with specific outcome headlines

Rebuild

Run a 2-week split where one ad set uses enriched forms and a landing page, the other uses native instant forms. Landing pages almost always win on downstream conversion.
