Meta Ads · First Month Recap

Hartley Law first month results.

In the first full month back live, the campaigns produced 43 form submissions at a blended $118 per lead, down from $169 in the first-11-day read. Truck Accidents is now the clear winner, and the You Pay Nothing Upfront ad is driving the majority of the volume.

Reporting window: June 9, 2026 relaunch through July 5, 2026 (first ~4 weeks).
Data source: Meta Ads via Nativz reporting access.
Lead figures cover the three lead campaigns. A separate $873 was invested in an Instagram profile-visit campaign for awareness, now paused; it is reported separately below and excluded from cost per lead.

Performance By Campaign

Truck is now the most efficient line.

Same creative, very different cost per result by audience. Truck Accident leads come in at about a third of the cost of Car Accident, and it has overtaken Retargeting as the lowest cost per lead in the account.

What the first month tells us.

Three takeaways matter most before scaling further: which audience to back, which message is landing, and where the warm audience fits.

01

Truck is the audience to back.

Truck Accident leads are coming in at $102 against $344 for Car. Same creative, very different cost per result, so budget stayed concentrated on Truck and Car remains paused rather than paying a premium for the weaker segment.

02

The no-risk message wins.

The You Pay Nothing Upfront ad drove 37 of the 43 submissions on its own. That is exactly what resonates with someone who just had an accident and is deciding whether it is worth calling a lawyer.

03

Retargeting holds its place.

The warm audience delivered 10 leads at $120. It is a small audience, so frequency is climbing and the creative will need a refresh soon to keep it performing.

Top Performing Ads

One angle is carrying the account.

The You Pay Nothing Upfront ad drove the large majority of submissions this month. Cost per lead is calculated from Meta spend divided by attributed form submissions.

Top Performer

"You Pay Nothing Upfront"

Form Subs37
Cost / Lead~$99

Leads with the no-risk promise. Removing the cost objection up front is a strong fit for people deciding whether it is even worth making the call, and it scaled better than any other creative.

"Millions Recovered"

Form Subs6
Cost / Lead~$133

Leads with proven results. The track-record angle gives prospects confidence that the firm wins real settlements, and it is the natural second angle to build more versions of.

Campaign Detail

The full picture in one table.

Blended cost per lead across the three lead campaigns is $118 and trending down as spend concentrates on the Truck audience. The Instagram profile-visit campaign is shown separately as awareness and is excluded from the blended cost per lead.

What's next.

The signal is strong enough to keep building. The plan is measured scaling on the proven audience and reducing the account's reliance on a single ad.

  • Keep scaling the Truck campaign now that cost per lead has settled at $102.
  • Build more versions of the You Pay Nothing Upfront winner, plus fresh Millions Recovered variants, so the account is not leaning on one ad.
  • Refresh the Retargeting creative soon. The audience is small and frequency is rising, so we want new creative in before it wears out.
  • Reintroduce Car Accidents later using the winning angles once Truck is fully stable.
What We Changed And Why

We concentrated budget on the winner.

Truck leads come in at $102 against $344 for Car on the same creative, so daily budget stayed weighted toward Truck and Car stayed paused. The Instagram profile-visit campaign, which grows the audience but does not generate leads, was paused so every dollar works on lead volume. Car can return later with the proven angles once Truck is fully out of learning.

We Need Your Input

How are these leads landing on your end?

Cost per lead tells us how efficiently we are generating contacts, but only your team can tell us which leads are actually worth pursuing. To optimize toward signed cases and not just form fills, we would love a quick read on the 43 leads so far:

  • Quality: Of the leads you have received, how many were a real fit for the firm versus not a match?
  • Responsiveness: Are people answering and engaging when your team follows up?
  • Case type: Are the Truck Accident leads stronger cases than the Car Accident ones, the way the cost data suggests?
  • Outcomes: Have any of these leads turned into a consultation or signed case yet?

Even a one-line reply per lead, or a quick note on overall quality, lets us steer the Truck scaling and the next round of creative toward the cases you actually want to take.
