Episode notes
Assign Dollar Values To Pipeline Events
- Set up server-side tracking, custom events, and monetary values to distinguish lead quality.
- Assign dollar values to pipeline stages so Meta optimizes toward higher-value actions.
Use Knockout Questions And No-Thank-You Pages
- Use a knockout conditional question (e.g., 'Do you own a house?') and send non-qualifiers to a no-thank-you page.
- Exclude those URLs from conversion events and build negative lookalikes to avoid wasting ad spend.
Opt-Ins Are Subscribers, Not Leads
- Treat opt-ins as subscribers, not leads; reserve 'lead' events for people showing buying intent.
- This hierarchy prevents mislabeling and trains algorithms to seek higher-value prospects.
