FAQ

How do I raise lead quality without killing volume?

Use an offer-led magnet, add a 3-question post-submit filter (timeline/budget/pain), and let setters prioritize high-intent segments first.

What’s the fastest way to lower CPL?

More hooks, fewer pages. UGC lead ads to a single page with one CTA; remove friction; test phone validation only if spam is high.

When do I add a quiz?

Once CPL is steady and quality dips. Start with 5 questions and route to tailored proof + calendar.

🌍 Outlook for 2026

High-velocity creatives + offer-led magnets + clean booking flows will keep CPL sane as platforms evolve. Teams that ship weekly win.
