“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.

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:

  • 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.”
