The commercial problem
Platform-reported leads include spam, duplicates and people who will never buy. Optimising to that number teaches the algorithm to find more of them.
The cost per lead looks fine while the cost per qualified lead is three or four times higher, and nobody sees it until the quarter ends.
- The common mistake
- Using raw CPL instead of CPQL
- Buyer journey
- Lead form, CRM, response SLA and offline conversions

How the plan decides
The goal sets the measure, the buyer sets the media, and the budget sets how many channels can be tested properly. Channels that cannot run in your market, need assets you lack or cost more than the budget allows are excluded before scoring, and the plan says why.
Primary candidates
Candidates from the reference taxonomy. Each is checked for account, market, format and policy eligibility before launch.
Budget logic
Recommended media budget = target qualified leads x estimated CPQL. Requires past results under the same qualified-lead definition or a disclosed test assumption; otherwise the plan starts as a controlled pilot.

What gets built and run
- Agree the qualified-lead definition with your sales team before launch.
- Calculate a permissible cost per qualified lead from your margin and close rate.
- Build or fix the landing page and form so qualification questions filter early.
- Send qualified outcomes back to the ad platforms (offline conversion import or CRM integration) so bidding learns from real leads.
What you will need to provide
- Your qualified-lead definition and recent close rate
- Average deal or customer value and margin
- CRM or lead sheet access for outcome tracking
- Someone who answers new leads quickly

How success is measured
Primary measure: Verified MQL/SQL
- Qualified leads (CRM-verified)
- CPQL
- Lead-to-qualified rate
- Response time against SLA
Platform-reported conversions are kept apart from outcomes your own systems confirm. Where a result can only be modelled, the report labels it as modelled.

Is this relevant to your business?
Probably, if
- you sell a service or high-consideration product through a sales conversation
- you can say what makes a lead qualified
- someone responds to new leads within a working day
Probably not, if
- nobody owns lead follow-up yet
- you cannot record lead outcomes anywhere, not even in a spreadsheet
