Schumacher Homes struggled to generate high-quality leads through Meta due to housing ad restrictions, reliance on low-intent on-platform forms, and a perception that Meta was only effective for awareness campaigns.
Schumacher Homes believed Meta was useful for awareness and remarketing but not a strong lead driver. They had previously run Meta campaigns that generated soft leads through on-platform forms, but these weren’t converting into sales-ready prospects.
Our team at Single Grain launched a Meta prospecting campaign targeting high-intent audiences, proving that Meta can generate high-quality leads at a cost per lead (CPL) comparable to search.

Based on these results, we are now expanding into additional audience segments and testing new messaging strategies to further scale Schumacher Homes’ Meta campaigns.
The Problem
Challenges
Schumacher Homes faced several hurdles in using Meta for lead generation:
- Perceived lack of lead quality
The client only saw Meta as a platform for awareness and remarketing, not for driving sales-ready leads. - Housing category ad restrictions
Meta limits targeting options for housing-related ads, restricting audience selection and removing the ability to use lookalike audiences. - Reliance on on-platform forms
Previous campaigns relied on Meta lead forms, which often resulted in lower-intent leads.
Based on these results, we are now expanding into additional audience segments and testing new messaging strategies to further scale Schumacher Homes’ Meta campaigns.
