Social media advertising
Facebook lead ads setup services
A lead ads setup service builds the ad, the instant form and the connection that carries each lead to your team. The quality of the set-up shows in three places: whether the form asks the right questions to separate serious enquiries from casual ones, whether leads arrive in your CRM or inbox automatically and are tested end to end before launch, and whether privacy information and marketing consent are handled properly. A provider that only builds the form and leaves you downloading files has done half the job.
Here we cover questions to ask, the connection to your systems, consent wording, warning signs, deliverables and judging the work. LetGetGrow sets up and manages Facebook and Instagram advertising, with the scope, management fee and reporting set out in a custom quotation.

Questions to ask
| Question | Good answer shows |
|---|---|
| How will leads reach our team? | An automatic connection, tested |
| Which questions will the form ask? | A qualifying question with a reason |
| How will consent be handled? | Privacy link and separate marketing opt-in |
| Will you test before launch? | A test lead traced into your system |
| How will lead quality be reported? | Customers and value, not only leads |
Connecting to your systems
Meta's documentation describes retrieving leads through its API, through webhooks or from its Leads Center. Many CRMs and integration tools can receive lead ads directly. Ask the provider which method it will use for your set-up, who maintains it and what happens if the connection fails. A simple alert when a lead arrives, in addition to the CRM, is a sensible fallback.
Warning signs
Leads by download only
Slow follow-up, missed leads.
No test lead
Connection may fail unnoticed.
Pre-ticked marketing consent
ICO guidance says consent needs a clear action.
Cost per lead as the only measure
Quality ignored.
Consent wording
Ask the provider to show you the form's privacy link and any consent wording before launch. Replying to an enquiry is expected; adding people to marketing lists needs consent or the soft opt-in conditions, according to ICO guidance on electronic mail marketing. You remain responsible for the data, so approve the wording yourself.

Example: a training provider
Illustrative example — not a client case study
Situation: A training provider wants lead ads for a short course.
- The form asks for name, email and which start date suits, plus an unticked option to receive course news.
- Leads go to the provider's CRM with an email alert to the admissions team.
- A test lead is submitted and confirmed in the CRM before the ads go live.
What this shows: The team could respond on the same day and consent was clear. This example is illustrative.

Advice on follow-up
A good provider asks who will contact leads and how quickly. It may suggest an automatic acknowledgement email and a script for first calls. Follow-up is your team's job, but the set-up should support it.
Fees
Setup may be a one-off fee, with ongoing campaign management separate. Integration tool subscriptions, if used, are usually your cost. Ad spend is paid to Meta.
Choosing the questions
Ask the provider to explain each question on the form: what it tells your team and whether it is needed. Questions that help prioritise, such as timescale, budget range or service needed, are worth including. Questions that only collect data you will not use add friction and add personal data you must look after. The provider should suggest a short list and let you decide.
When connections break
Integrations can stop working after a password change, a permission change or an update to either system. Ask how you will know if leads stop arriving, who fixes it and how quickly. A weekly check that lead counts in Meta match those in your CRM is a simple safeguard.
What to share
Share the offer, who should receive leads, your CRM or inbox, your privacy information link, whether you want to send marketing later and how quickly your team can respond.
Judging the set-up
After a month, check that every lead reached your team, how quickly each was contacted and how many became customers.
