Meta Ads Campaign History:

Initial campaigns (2024): RENTAL SALES CAMPAIGN - SPLIT AUDIENCE TEST ($166 spend, 1 lead), TARGETED LIST ($82 spend, 7 calls), Engineering Services ($52 spend, 7 calls). These were the testing phase.

City expansion (Apr 2025): Launched Columbus - V1 and Lexington - V1 as first city-specific recruitment campaigns.

Major restructure (Sep 2, 2025): All campaigns upgraded to V2/V3 versions with improved targeting, new creative, and optimized lead forms. Pittsburgh V6, Columbus V2, Lexington V2, Grand Rapids V2, York V9, and Retarget Recruit V3 all launched same day.

Boise test (Sep 5, 2025): Launched Boise V1 as a new market test. Ran for approximately 6 weeks — generated 208 leads at $5.45 CPL (excellent). Paused to reallocate budget to proven markets.

Current state: 5 city campaigns + 1 retargeting campaign running. Pittsburgh is the top performer with 1,537 leads at $5.85 CPL.
