02The winning angle

The offer is resonating.

Where the response is coming from

One creative angle is doing the heavy lifting. The "curiosity" concept around the $15,999 kitchen package has produced 21 of 22 inquiries so far at $27 per inquiry. That is a strong validation of the offer itself, and it tells us exactly which angle to build on next.

03What is working

Where the campaign is delivering.

Each of these is a leading indicator that the strategy, audience, and creative are aligned.

01

Cost per inquiry below industry benchmark

Inquiries are coming in at $29 each, compared to a ~$83 median for kitchen and bath remodeling campaigns on Meta. This is a strong economic signal that the offer and audience are aligned.

02

Engagement above benchmark

Engagement rate of 3.7% is roughly 3.4× the home-services benchmark, which tells us the message is matching what homeowners in the region are actively looking for.

03

22 inquiries in the first 13 days

Each inquiry is a homeowner who saw the ad, read the offer, and chose to fill out a form. The volume so far gives us enough early signal to know the creative direction is working without making premature changes.

04

Healthy audience exposure

On average, each person in the target audience has seen the ads 2.1 times. This is the sweet spot for remodeling, where buying decisions involve multiple touchpoints before someone reaches out. Strong recall, no creative fatigue.

05

7,974 homeowners reached in the target corridor

Coverage across Salisbury, Concord, and the Charlotte area is on plan. The audience pool is large enough to sustain ongoing optimization without burning through impressions.

04What we are doing next

The plan for the next few weeks.

Early performance is the start of the work, not the end. Here is how we build on it.

01

Building creative depth on the winning angle

Two additional concepts in the same winning tone are in production. This protects the campaign against creative fatigue and gives Meta's algorithm more options to optimize against, which usually compounds performance.

02

Adding lead quality reporting

We are connecting CRM data into the dashboard so the next report shows cost per qualified prospect, not just cost per inquiry. This gives a clearer read on real pipeline impact and lets us tune toward higher-intent homeowners.

03

Letting the algorithm complete its initial optimization

Meta's delivery system is still learning which homeowners in the region respond best to the offer. We are intentionally holding settings steady through the first optimization window. Changes during this period typically reset the algorithm and push cost per inquiry up, even when they look like improvements on paper.

04

Monitoring for the right moment to scale

Once the optimization window completes and lead quality data is in, we will recommend a measured budget increase if the unit economics hold. The plan is to grow this deliberately, not aggressively, so the cost per inquiry stays favorable as volume rises.

05Looking ahead
The first 13 days have validated both the offer and the creative direction. The focus for the next two to four weeks is building creative depth on the winning angle, layering in qualified-lead reporting, and capturing enough optimization data to make a confident decision about scaling spend. We will share an updated report ahead of your next review.
