How To Generate Leads Using Landing Pages And Facebook Ads

This guide will show you how to use landing pages and Facebook ads to create a streamlined system for generating high-quality leads.

Why Are Landing Pages and Facebook Ads Effective for Lead Generation?

Landing pages provide a focused space where visitors can take action, such as signing up for a newsletter or downloading a resource. Facebook ads amplify this by reaching your target audience with highly tailored offers that direct potential customers to those landing pages. Together, they form a streamlined system for turning interest into leads. A landing page is a dedicated web page that encourages visitors to take a specific action, such as signing up for a newsletter, downloading a resource, or starting a free trial.

Bynerate leads who are interested in what you are offering, and you can create a seamless lead generation system for them. The benefit is as good to you and even more than it is for them. How do you generate these leads, then? We will give you the how-to on generating leads with just a landing page and Facebook ads.

A Guide to Generating Leads

First, you create a lead generation landing page with high conversion rates and integrate it with Facebook Pixel for tracking.

When doing this –

  1. Create a visually appealing and user-friendly design.
  2. Ensure your landing page includes a compelling headline, a clear value proposition, engaging visuals, and a strong call-to-action (CTA).
  3. Optimise the page for mobile uses and fast loading times. 

The second thing you do is to define your objectives. Establish clear goals for your lead generation campaign. For example, increase sign-ups, generate inquiries, and identify key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure success, such as conversion rates and cost per lead.

Thirdly, you must define your target audience. This is very important, especially in digital or online businesses. You must know who you’re selling to and who will be interested in what you offer. 

Analyse your ideal customer profile and demographics. Use Facebook Audience Insights to gather data on interests, behaviours, and locations. Then, create a detailed audience persona to tailor your messaging effectively. 

To shift the focus to the Facebook ads or ads campaigns, ask yourself the one question; ‘Where will my campaigns fit with my account structure?’. To answer this question, you should familiarise yourself with Facebook Ads Manager and how to organise your campaigns. 

To effectively manage Facebook ads, it’s essential to understand the structure within Ads Manager, which includes three levels: campaigns, ad sets, and ads. The campaign level defines your overall advertising objective, such as brand awareness or conversions. The ad set level lets you specify your targeting, budget, and schedule, helping you segment your audience and test different strategies. Lastly, the ad level involves creating the actual ads with visuals and copy that resonate with your target audience while not forgetting about placement ad budget allocation. 

To develop an effective lead generation campaign using landing pages and Facebook ads, thoroughly research your target audience to tailor your messaging. Then, create a compelling landing page that’s visually appealing and optimised for conversions, featuring a clear call to action (CTA). 

In Ads Manager, set up your campaign by selecting your objectives, choosing ad placements, and determining your budget and schedule. Ensure your ads link directly to your landing page to support the CTA. After launching, monitor performance metrics closely and make adjustments to optimise results. Consider A/B testing to refine your strategy further. Lastly, have a follow-up plan for nurturing leads to maximise conversions and engagement.

Integrating Landing Pages With Facebook Ads

Facebook is a standout platform for online advertising, thanks to its large user base and effective targeting options. However, simply running ads isn’t enough for success. Pairing those ads with dedicated landing pages can create a more engaging experience, making it easier for potential customers to take action.

Creating a Seamless User Experience

Your landing page should complement your Facebook ad to ensure a smooth transition for users. This means matching your ad’s messaging, design, and overall tone with the landing page to keep the user journey cohesive.

Directing Ad Traffic to Your Landing Page

Ensure your ad’s CTA directs users to a specific landing page optimised for lead generation. This page should be simple and focus on converting visitors into leads through a well-designed form or offer. For example, if your landing page concerns a free trial sign-up, the CTA will read: “Start Your Free 30-Day Trial!”

Remember to keep it simple and focused on converting leads to customers. Use persuasive copy and engaging visuals and include trust signals to enhance credibility.

Tracking and Measuring Performance

Let’s talk about tracking and measuring performance! 

First, it’s worth considering if you’re not using Facebook Pixel on your website yet. It’s a handy tool that lets you monitor users’ activity on your site. You can track their actions, see how well your ads convert, and gather valuable data to help you fine-tune your ads and landing pages.

Next, remember to check your conversion rates regularly! It’s essential to see how many people who clicked on your ad converted into leads. This information is super helpful for adjusting your targeting, ad copy, or even the elements on your landing page to improve your results.

Conclusion

Using landing pages and Facebook ads together is a proven method to generate leads and grow your business.

Here’s a recap of the steps:

  1. Create a high-converting landing page optimised for mobile.
  2. Define clear objectives and trackable KPIs.
  3. Use Facebook Ads Manager to target your ideal audience effectively.
  4. Integrate Facebook ads with landing pages to create a seamless user journey.
  5. Continuously track performance, adjust your strategy, and refine your campaign.

SEO for the Nigerian Market: How to Rank on Google (Even if You’re a Small Business)

Let’s be real: in today’s digital Nigeria, if your real estate listings don’t show up on Google, you’re losing money. When a potential buyer in Lagos is searching for “3-bedroom apartment for rent in Lekki,” or an investor in Abuja is looking for “land for sale in Guzape,” are they finding your properties or your competitor’s? Many real estate agents and developers in Nigeria believe that ranking on Google is a complex, expensive game reserved only for big, established firms. The truth is, that’s a myth. With the right strategy, a small agency can compete with the giants and win in local search results. This guide is your roadmap to demystifying SEO for the Nigerian real estate market. We’ll break down the essentials, from finding the right keywords that serious buyers and renters use, to simple steps you can take today to increase your properties’ visibility on Google. Get ready to stop relying solely on referrals and turn your website into a powerful, lead-generating machine. Mobile Optimisation…Because Nigerians Are Always On The Go It’s no secret that the majority of internet users in Nigeria access the web primarily through their mobile phones. If your website is slow, difficult to navigate, or looks broken on a smartphone, you’re not just providing a poor user experience; you’re actively hurting your SEO. Google prioritises mobile-friendly websites, so a site that is responsive and loads quickly is more likely to rank higher in search results. For a real estate agent, this means ensuring your property listings and contact forms are just as easy to view and use on a phone as they are on a computer. A potential client on a bus in Lekki should be able to smoothly browse your properties and call you directly from their phone. Build Your Authority with Local Citations and Backlinks In the world of SEO, authority is built on trust, and one of the best ways to earn Google’s trust is by having other credible websites link back to yours. This is where local citations and backlinks play a crucial role. A citation is a mention of your business’s Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) on another website, like a local business directory. Ensuring your real estate agency is listed on reputable Nigerian directories, such as VConnect or Finelib, is a great start. Additionally, a backlink, a direct link from another site to yours, is a powerful signal. You can earn these by guest posting on local blogs about property trends or by partnering with a local mortgage broker to be a resource on their website. The more high-quality, local links you have, the more authoritative your agency will appear to Google. The Power of Online Reviews: Your Digital Word-of-Mouth In Nigeria, word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool, and in the digital world, that’s what online reviews represent. When potential clients search for “real estate agent in Victoria Island,” Google often highlights businesses with a high number of positive reviews. Make it a part of your business process to ask satisfied clients to leave a review on your Google My Business profile. Respond to all reviews, both positive and negative, professionally and politely. This not only shows prospective clients that you’re an engaged and trustworthy business but also signals to Google that your business is active and cares about its reputation, which can directly improve your local search ranking. Harnessing the “Near Me” Search with Geo-Targeted Pages People are increasingly using “near me” searches to find local services. As a real estate business, you can leverage this by creating specific landing pages for each of your key locations. Instead of just having a general “Properties” page, create dedicated pages for “Properties in Lekki,” “Homes for Sale in Ikeja,” and “Land for Sale in Abuja.” Each of these pages should be rich with content that speaks to that specific area, including local landmarks, market trends, and a curated list of properties. This strategy helps you rank for precise, high-intent searches and proves to Google that you are a local expert in those precise locations. Technical SEO Basics: Making Your Website “Speak” to Google While all of the above strategies focus on content and credibility, technical SEO also plays a significant role. This is about making sure Google can easily crawl, understand, and index your website. A few key technical points to focus on include ensuring your website loads fast, that your property listings have unique and descriptive URL slugs (e.g.,https://ravenandmacaw.com/about/# ), and that you use proper title tags and meta descriptions for every page. These small but crucial details help Google understand exactly what your website is about, which is a fundamental part of getting it to rank for your desired search term.

5 Steps To Set Up An Effective Meta (Facebook) Ads Campaign

Running meta ads without a solid strategy is quite risky. You could be setting yourself up for failure, potentially losing significant money with no results. Setting up Meta (Facebook) Ads campaigns the right way makes all the difference. To avoid holding your head at your desk, here are 5 steps to help you launch effective Meta ads that actually convert: Step 1: Audit Your Facebook Ads Account If you’re reading this, you already have a Facebook ad account. So, what to do first is to assess what is already there. If you have noticed you are not succeeding as you want, an audit is what you should do first. Here are what you should check out: -Are past campaigns performing well? Take a deep dive into your previous campaigns. Look for metrics such as reach, engagement, click-through rates, and conversions. Identify which campaigns performed well and which didn’t meet expectations. Understanding the reasons behind their performance will inform your future strategies. -What audience segments worked? Review the audience segments you targeted in your past campaigns. Determine which demographics responded positively and which ones fell flat. This analysis will help refine your targeting, allowing you to focus on the audiences most likely to convert. -What ad creatives had the best engagement? Assess ad creatives you’ve used, including images, videos, and copy. Identify which ads generated the highest engagement rates, such as likes, shares, comments, and click-throughs. Note the elements that resonated with your audience and use these insights to guide your creative strategy moving forward. However, your audit will look a bit different if you’re working with a new account. Focus on ensuring everything is set up correctly, establish your objectives, define your target audiences, and create compelling ads aligning with your brand message. Taking the time to lay a solid foundation will pay off in the long run. Step 2: Structure Your Facebook Ad Account Properly A well-structured account equals better tracking and smoother campaign management. At a basic level, make sure: You’ve set up your Business Manager. Your Facebook Page and Instagram account are linked. Your payment method is valid. You’ve created a Facebook Pixel and set up Events for tracking. Also, organise your ad campaigns into clear naming conventions. It makes optimisation 10x easier down the line. Step 3: Choose the Right Campaign Objective This part can make or break your ad’s success. Meta gives you options like: Awareness Traffic Engagement Leads Sales You select these options based on your business goal. If you want people to register for a course, use Lead Generation. If you’re running an eCommerce store, Sales is your best bet. Step 4: Nail Your Targeting Let’s be real — Facebook’s targeting tools are insanely powerful if you know how to use them. This step is where your ad game goes from “meh” to “money well spent.” Here’s how to get it right: 1.Core Audiences: Start with the Basics Want to reach people in Lagos who love skincare and are between 18 and 35? Done. Facebook lets you target by: Location – down to the city or even the neighbourhood Age & Gender – super useful if your product is for a specific group Interests – whether it’s fashion, fitness, tech, or cooking Try combining interests to narrow it down. For example: “Fitness + Women’s Health + Home Workouts.” That’s sharper than just “fitness.” 2.Custom Audiences: Retarget Your Warm Crowd These people already know you — your website visitors, video watchers, Instagram engagers, email list, etc. These folks are warmer and closer to buying. You’re not shouting into the void — you’re nudging people who’ve already noticed you. Think: “Hey, saw you checking us out. Let’s talk.” 3.Lookalike Audiences: Find More People Like Your Best Fans Here’s where Facebook gets clever. You can tell it: “Hey, these people engaged with my brand. Go find others just like them.” Start small (1% lookalike audience) and scale up once you’re getting good results. 4.One Big Warning: Don’t Overlap Your Audiences If you’re running ads to similar groups in different campaigns, Facebook could be competing with itself, and you’ll end up paying more. Use the Audience Overlap Tool in Ads Manager to make sure you’re not doubling up. Bottom line: Your targeting can make or break your ad performance. So take your time here, test different audiences, and watch your results climb. Step 5: Plan Your Creatives & Strategy Like a Pro Okay, you’ve nailed your targeting — now it’s time to make your ads look and sound amazing. This is the fun part… but also the part where many people mess up. Let’s not be those people. Grab Attention with Visuals People scroll fast. You’ve got maybe 2 seconds to stop them in their tracks. Use: Scroll-stopping videos or images High contrast colours, bold text, or movement Human faces and emotions (they always win) Bonus: Use Reels-style videos or trending formats. Native content = better results. Write Copy That Converts Keep your message simple, clear, and bold. What problem are you solving? Why should they care? And most importantly… what should they do next? CTA examples: “Shop Now” “Download Free Guide” “Book a Free Call” And don’t forget: match the tone to your brand (fun, serious, helpful, etc). Match the Landing Page Don’t send people to your homepage and hope for the best. Make sure your landing page: Matches the ad’s promise Loads fast (especially on mobile) Has a clear next step (buy, sign up, learn more) Strategise Your Campaign Now that your creatives are ready, decide on the game plan: How long will your campaign run? 7 days? 30 days? Daily or lifetime budget? Start small and scale. What will you test? Maybe image A vs image B. Or CTA 1 vs CTA 2. That’s called A/B testing, which is how the pros figure out what works. Don’t “Set It and Forget It” Meta ads aren’t magic. One ad won’t make you go viral overnight. You need to test, tweak, and scale what works
