Advertisers expecting to see lower CPMs on Lead Ads will be a little disappointed. CPM cost has risen 30% during 2015 and many advertisers have also seen their CPM increase up to 50% overall. Also, mobile is the way to go. Nanigans found that 80% of ads are served on mobile devices – additionally, over 70% of ad budget for lead generation in the US goes to mobile.

Lead ads are becoming more and more popular ever since they were launched, but advertisers should not just expect the same results as some case studies. Lead generation will certainly depend a lot on “specific business conditions and campaign strategies”. There is a lot of testing and data-analysis involved in getting the best results in different industries.
