Key Insights

  • Meta Ads was critical for broader reach and engagement, particularly excelling in CUET lead generation.
  • Budget optimization and better segmentation helped maintain a strong average CPL across platforms.

What Worked

  • Niche-Specific Targeting: Segmenting NEET, JEE, and CUET audiences led to sharper ad relevance.
  • Landing Page Alignment: Consistent messaging and CTAs improved conversion rates.
  • Retargeting on Meta: Helped re-engage warm audiences who had clicked but not converted earlier.

Challenges:

  • The Scholarship Ad Set underperformed on Meta, with a high CPL.
  • Meta Ads, while delivering reach, showed higher variability in cost-efficiency compared to Google.
  • Some mid-campaign fluctuations suggested opportunities for dayparting or frequency capping.

Recommendations

  • Increase budget on Google Ads and high-performing Meta ad sets like CUET.
  • Test new creatives for Scholarship ads with improved urgency and value proposition.
  • Leverage Lookalike Audiences and remarketing on both platforms for improved ROI.
  • Explore video ad formats for more engaging storytelling on Meta.

Conclusion

The multi-platform campaign for L1 Coaching successfully delivered 1,873 qualified leads across a two-month period, at a blended cost per lead of ₹23.75. With Google Ads driving cost-efficient volume and Meta Ads delivering extended reach and audience segmentation, L1 Coaching is now better positioned to scale its student enrollment campaigns with clarity and confidence.
