We dive deep into the technicalities of the Facebook algorithm, discussing when to use Advantage+ campaigns versus manual targeting for high-ticket offers. Whether you are a fitness coach or a B2B consultant, I reveal how to fix a rising cost per lead and how to transition into omnipresent marketing across multiple platforms. If you want to scale to half a million dollars a month, this data-backed breakdown is for you.The hard truth is that "more leads" often lead to a "ghost town" of unqualified prospects if your funnel isn't built for friction.
