How to reduce your CPA by 40% on Meta Ads

CPA: a misunderstood metric

Most advertisers look at their CPA (cost per acquisition) as cost per lead. But the real CPA should be the cost per signed client.

If you pay €20 per lead but only 15% of those leads become clients, your real CPA is €133. That's a number many prefer to ignore.

Why your CPA keeps rising

When Meta receives poor quality conversion signals, the algorithm trains on biased data. The more it learns from bad profiles, the more bad profiles it sends you.

It's a vicious cycle:

1. Unqualified leads → conversion sent to Meta
2. Meta optimizes on these profiles
3. You receive even more unqualified leads
4. Your real CPA explodes

The Smart Leads method

Our approach breaks this cycle in 4 steps:

1. Automatic qualification

Each lead is evaluated in real time against your criteria (budget, need, urgency, profile).

2. OK/KO filtering

Only qualified leads (OK) trigger a conversion event. Others (KO) are filtered out.

3. Optimized signal

Meta only receives quality signals. The algorithm learns to find profiles similar to your real clients.

4. Continuous improvement

The more qualified signals Meta accumulates, the more precise and profitable your campaigns become.
