Creatives to Scale Winners

Creatives to Pause Underperformers

Creative Targeting Spend Leads CPL Why Pause
Video 08 (Sep 2025) OK Broad $329 3 $109.80 3.5x average CPL
Image 01 (Oct 2025) OK Broad $1,808 37 $48.87 Image 03 beats it by 40%
Video 09 - Glenside (May 2025) KR Interest $153 1 $152.91 1 lead for $153
Video 09 - Glenside (May 2025) KR Retargeting $260 5 $52.09 Video 01 beats it 2.5x
Image 02 (Nov 2025) OK Broad $505 10 $50.46 Image 03 outperforms 2:1
Savings Estimate

Pausing these 5 underperforming creatives would redirect approximately $3,055 over 60 days (~$50/day) toward proven winners. This alone could generate an additional 50-100 leads at current winner CPLs.

Placement Performance

Spend distributed across 12 placements on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads.

Placement Spend Leads CPL CTR Rating
Facebook Marketplace $868 37 $23.45 0.95% Best CPL
Facebook Reels $855 29 $29.47 1.24% Strong
Facebook Feed $5,654 176 $32.13 1.74% OK
Instagram Feed $1,448 40 $36.19 0.95% OK
Instagram Stories $836 24 $34.85 1.29% OK
Instagram Reels $695 15 $46.31 1.09% Expensive
Facebook Stories $234 2 $116.97 1.44% Exclude
Placement Insight

Facebook Marketplace delivers leads at $23.45 — 27% cheaper than the account average. This makes sense for a home renovation business where Marketplace users are already in a buying/browsing mindset. Facebook Stories should be excluded ($117 CPL).

Frequency & Saturation Analysis

Two campaigns have crossed the saturation threshold (frequency >4), meaning the same users are seeing ads repeatedly with diminishing returns.
