EcoView Windows DFW: Call Briefing

The account is healthy and in volume. Meta is the efficiency engine, with cost per lead falling week over week from $85 to $52. Google brings the high-intent leads and phone calls at around $189 per lead, which is normal for window replacement. Last week's dip in call volume was the July 4 holiday plus conversion lag, not an account problem. Figures cover the last 30 days through July 6.

01 / The headline

Two engines, both pointed the right way.

Meta and Google play different roles. Meta drives lead volume at a low and falling cost per lead. Google drives higher-intent leads and phone calls, which cost more but close bigger for window replacement. Google is under-pacing on budget, so there is room to scale where efficiency holds.

01

Meta is getting cheaper

Cost per lead fell from $85 over 30 days to $58 over 14 days to $52 over the last 7. Click-through is up, CPC and CPM are down. This is the good news for the call.

02

Google carries intent

136 leads at about $189 each, driven by phone calls and form fills. Tracking is clean: soft local actions are excluded and do not inflate the cost per lead.

03

Last week's dip is seasonal

CallRail logged 13 calls versus 35 the week before, and Google short-window conversions look thin. That is the July 4 holiday plus attribution lag, not a performance break.

02 / Meta Ads

The efficiency engine, trending up.

Account act_495908001337914. Leads are Meta Instant Form completions. Every window is getting cheaper: cost per lead $85 (30d), $58 (14d), $52 (7d), with click-through rising and costs falling.

Best Performers campaigns lead

DFW Best Performers ($63 per lead, 56 leads) and Austin Best Performers ($68, 68 leads) are the newest and strongest. Star ad: the "Before and After" creative at $33 per lead.

Watch

Austin Form and Waco/Temple

Austin Form runs at $230 per lead on a 1.22% CTR, the clear laggard. Waco/Temple shows creative fatigue: frequency 3.3 to 3.6 and $128 to $159 per lead. Both need a refresh or a budget shift.

03 / Google Ads

High-intent volume, room to scale.

CID 525-532-5225. Spend is roughly linear across windows, but the short-window cost per lead looks inflated because calls and CRM uploads land days after the click. Read the 30-day number, about $189.

Do not be alarmed by the 7-day cost per lead of $578. That is conversion lag, not a decline. The real, trustworthy figure is the 30-day $189. Also note: conversion value and ROAS are not reliable on this account, because offline CRM sale uploads are thin. Lead count and cost per lead are the metrics to lead with.

DFW carries the account

PMax DFW ($151) and Search DFW ($166) deliver the most leads at the best cost.

Watch

Austin and Waco/Temple Search

Search Austin at $411 on 4 leads, and Search Waco/Temple at zero conversions on $603. Guilherme has already reworked Austin bidding and negatives.

PACING

Under-pacing, 0.70x

July month-to-date is 11% of the $36,050 monthly goal at day 5 (16% expected). Three PMax campaigns are budget-limited and are the clearest scale candidates if efficiency holds.

04 / Tracking, analytics and calls

What the data is telling us.

GA4 property 359408271 plus the CallRail weekly summary. Traffic nearly doubled on Google PMax, and phone calls are the dominant lead type.

GA4 · 30D VS PRIOR 30D

Traffic up 87%, conversions up 22%

6,773 sessions, driven by Google PMax. Google is the engine in analytics. Meta shows almost no on-site conversions because its leads happen inside Meta Instant Forms, not on the website. That is expected, not a gap.

CALLRAIL · 6/29 TO 7/5

13 calls, down from 35

A real week-over-week drop, tied to the July 4 holiday, with almost all calls from Google Ads. Average duration rose to 3m 21s, so fewer but higher-quality calls.

Two tracking items to raise. First, phone-call conversions all land in GA4 "Unassigned," which makes channel-level conversion counts understate paid's true contribution. Second, several form events compete in GA4 (form_submit at 119 is uncounted, while other form events are counted), so the official conversion count is dominated by calls and likely undercounts form leads. Worth settling on one source-of-truth form event.
05 / Landing pages

All campaigns are on the new v6 pages. DFW is converting.

The v6 migration is fully done. Every active lead-gen campaign, across DFW, Austin, and Waco/Temple, on both Search and PMax, points to the new v6 pages, with Waco and Temple correctly consolidated onto one Central Texas page. DFW converts well; Austin and Central Texas each have one thing to check.

Working

/dfw/v6 is the best converter

267 sessions to 16 key events, about a 6% conversion rate, far ahead of the older pages.

Watch

/austin/v6 gets volume, not on-page conversions

866 sessions but only 1 on-page conversion. Austin likely converts by phone (untracked to the page), but the form is worth a look.

Watch

/central-texas/v6 tracking

Paid traffic points here (Waco and Temple, both Search and PMax), yet GA4 registers almost no sessions. That points to an analytics-tag gap on this consolidated page, worth verifying.

06 / Open items, by owner

What moves this forward.

GREG

Tracking and conversion checks

  • Verify the analytics tag fires on /central-texas/v6. Paid traffic points there but GA4 barely registers it.
  • Check why Austin v6 has volume but almost no on-page conversions (form vs phone).
  • Set up Enhanced Conversions for phone calls (assigned today).
GUILHERME · DONE, MONITORING

Austin fixes are live

  • Moved the three Austin campaigns to Max Conversions with no target CPA, to fix delivery throttled by Ad Rank.
  • Rewrote the residential-windows ad, paused the low-quality price-shopper keyword, added negatives.
  • Remaining lift depends on moving Austin onto the new landing-page stack.
HYGIENE · LOW IMPACT

Nice-to-haves if there is time

  • Demote soft local actions to Secondary in Google (cleanliness, no live impact today).
  • Pick one source-of-truth form event in GA4 so form leads are counted consistently.
  • Strengthen the offline CRM upload pipeline if revenue attribution matters to the client.
The net

Scale the winners, tighten the tracking.

Meta is flying with cost per lead falling. Google brings intent and has budget headroom to scale in DFW and Austin PMax. The new v6 landing pages are fully live across every market. Last week's dip was the holiday plus lag, not a problem. Our near-term focus is scaling the budget-limited winners and closing two tracking gaps (Central Texas page analytics and Enhanced Conversions for calls).
