Case Study · Single franchise rooftop
Franchise rooftopBay Area · 25–54 buyersWants lead volume at low cost

How one Mitsubishi rooftop pulled 3,900 buyer leads — with its whole lot advertising itself.

Instead of renting one-off leads at $20–40 a piece, we turned every car on the lot into its own always-on ad. The result was volume at a cost that actually pencils.

Sound familiar?

  • You need lead volume at a cost that pencils — not a boutique agency's vanity reel.
  • You're buying leads one at a time while your whole lot sits there, unadvertised.
  • Every agency shows you impressions. You just want to know your cost per lead.
The play

Stop renting one-off leads. Make every car on the lot generate its own.

MOVE 01

Always-on catalog ads

The full inventory synced to Meta and running as lead ads — every unit, every price drop, automatically.

MOVE 02

Cost-per-lead targeting

Bay Area, 25–54, in-market — optimized relentlessly toward the only number that matters: CPL.

MOVE 03

High-volume content

Inventory reels kept the store top-of-feed and fed the retargeting pool — one even hit 659 shares.

Verified · Meta Business Suite, 2026. Your numbers depend on inventory, market, and ad budget.

A rooftop that big shouldn't be buying leads one at a time.

A single franchise rooftop, buying leads piecemeal while hundreds of cars sat un-advertised.

We synced the whole catalog into always-on lead ads and drove hard toward a target cost per lead.

3,900 leads at $7.74 each — while the content engine pushed 1.84M views and a 659-share reel.
