Their Goal
Reducing lead generation costs
Braip’s previous ads that click to WhatsApp campaigns were optimized for message engagement. The team wanted to explore new opportunities for lowering cost per lead and improving lead quality.

“The adoption of campaign optimization for lead generation via WhatsApp significantly improved the efficiency of our marketing efforts, in addition to providing a more qualified experience for potential customers who contacted our team. Although the total volume of conversations decreased, we observed a significant increase in the quality of leads generated, which has had a direct impact on the performance of our service.”

Their Solution

Optimizing ads for potential leads
Braip tried optimizing ads that click to WhatsApp for leads for the first time for its March 13–26, 2025 campaign. Lead optimization prioritizes delivery to users who are more likely to become high-quality leads. Ads were delivered to Brazilian adults ages 18–45 and promoted Braip’s customer support and high application approval rates.
Braip worked with WhatsApp Business Messaging Partner Manychat to develop an automated messaging experience on Whatsapp. After clicking on the ad, potential customers could engage with the brand in a WhatsApp conversation. They were asked four automated questions pertaining to their ecommerce experience, products and revenue, then transferred to a live agent for follow-up. Braip defined qualified leads as potential customers who met its eligibility requirements.
Their Success
Qualified leads at a lower cost
Braip tested ads that click to WhatsApp with lead optimization against its usual approach of ads that click to WhatsApp optimized for messages using a Meta A/B test, and found that the new approach delivered:

- 45% increase in qualified leads, compared to usual approach of ads optimized for messages
- 30% lower cost per lead, compared to usual approach of ads optimized for messages
“Our main recommendation is that other companies see commercial messaging solutions such as ads that click to WhatsApp with lead optimization not just as a service channel, but as a strategic qualification and conversion tool.”
