Lead Filtering Quality of Facebook Lead Ads

Facebook announced in May some new features to improve Facebook lead ads. One of these features is lead filtering, which can improve the quality of leads.
 
Not everyone has this feature yet, but I do. Now let’s see what lead filtering is and how it can be used.

What is Lead Filtering?

One of the biggest issues advertisers face with facebook lead ads is lead quality. Filling out the lead form is very easy. It’s good for volume, but not so good for quality.

Lead Filtering allows you to ask qualified multiple-choice questions at the top of the lead form. If a positive answer is given, the user can fill out the form. Otherwise, users will not be able to send them.

This is especially useful for leads going to the sales team. Lead filtering can help if you find that your team is wasting time contacting potential leads that aren’t your target customers.

How to Set Up a Lead Filtering Question

First, you’ll need to collect leads using Instant Forms (selected within the ad set)

There’s a column for “Lead Filter” so that you can designate an answer as “Lead” or “Not a Lead.”

You will now see separate sections within your form for “Message for Leads” and “Message for Non-Leads.”

How it Looks

The lead form itself will look something like this…

Notice that this qualifying question is asked before a user can submit their contact information. If I select “Within the next three months,” I am taken to the questions to collect my contact info. If I select “Beyond the next three months,” I’m taken to this screen…
