FVG’s Social Campaign Success
for Charles String
Flying V Group, renowned for its data-driven digital marketing strategies, took on this challenge with a laser focus on META Ad Campaigns. With a proven track record in helping businesses like Charles String’s thrive online, FVG understood the high stakes and the need for precise execution. We knew it wasn’t just about running ads; it was about crafting a strategy that would continuously evolve, ensuring every dollar spent worked harder than the last.
Challenges Faced by Charles String
Initial Situation
Before partnering with FVG, Charles String was in a challenging marketing position, struggling to generate enough leads to support their rapidly expanding company. While they were actually generating leads consistently, the quality of these leads was a significant concern. Many were unqualified, leading to low conversion rates.
Additionally, budget constraints made it difficult to implement more aggressive marketing strategies. They were likely pouring resources into a campaign without seeing the return they expected. These challenges created a situation where their marketing efforts were not effectively supporting business growth, leaving them in need of a fresh approach to boost lead quality and optimize their budget.
Specific Goals
When Charles String set out to improve their social ads efforts, the primary objective was clear: boost the number of quality leads without increasing the Cost Per Lead (CPL). This meant balancing quantity with quality—no easy feat in a competitive market.
Additionally, the initial Return on Investment (ROI) goal was set at 1.6, a challenging target requiring strategic optimization of every dollar spent. As we delved into the campaign, these goals became the driving force behind our approach, ensuring that their META ads results not only met expectations but laid the foundation for sustainable growth.
Strategic Solutions Implemented
1
Month-on-Month Optimizations
When it comes to any META ads campaign, small, consistent tweaks often lead to the biggest gains. At FVG, we took a strategic approach, focusing on month-on-month optimizations rather than making drastic changes. From December 2023 to July 2024, we analyzed performance data, adjusting targeting, creatives, and ad copy to align with real-time trends.
This steady, detail-oriented process ensured continuous improvement, allowing us to refine our client’s campaign’s effectiveness without risking disruption. The result? Charles String’s META ads campaign saw consistent growth, with incremental gains each month, building towards a substantial increase in ROI over the period.
With FVG, you’re always ahead, adapting smoothly to the evolving market landscape.

CPL Testing Phase
(December 2023 – March 2024)
When it comes to any META ads campaign, small, consistent tweaks often lead to the biggest gains. At FVG, we took a strategic approach, focusing on month-on-month optimizations rather than making drastic changes. From December 2023 to July 2024, we analyzed performance data, adjusting targeting, creatives, and ad copy to align with real-time trends.
As the testing phase progressed, it became evident that META lead forms were consistently outperforming website conversions in generating qualified leads. This insight led us to make a strategic decision in March 2024 to shift entirely to META lead forms.
This move significantly streamlined the lead generation process, ensuring that they received more relevant and actionable leads, ultimately boosting the overall success of the ads campaign.

Ad Level Optimization
We focused on optimizing ad performance at the granular level. By testing various ad creatives, we identified the most compelling messaging that resonated with their audience.
Ads featuring “Best & Cheap Insurance Policy” proved particularly effective, driving significant engagement. To further boost results, we implemented dynamic video ads designed to capture attention and convey value quickly.
This strategic approach to ad level optimization ensured that every dollar they spent delivered maximum impact, enhancing their overall campaign performance and contributing to the success of their lead generation efforts.

Targeting Optimization
For Charles String’s META ads campaign, we implemented a well-planned strategy aimed at driving conversions. We started by running video view campaigns to increase brand visibility, then used retargeted image ads to guide potential customers through a conversion-focused funnel. This approach proved to be highly effective in boosting results.
To ensure precision, we utilized four distinct targeting audiences: interest-based targeting, focusing on those interested in insurance; vehicle and truck insurance targeting, aimed at potential customers in these specific niches; retargeting customer lists and website visitors who had already shown interest; and targeting individuals who submitted quote forms through YouTube and Google Ads in the last one year. The idea for this was to target people who filled up the form but did not convert or did not make any decision.
Additionally, we scheduled ads to run only during working hours (9 am-5 pm), optimizing reach and efficiency. This comprehensive strategy significantly enhanced the effectiveness of lead-to-quote form conversions because these are the working hours of Charles String’s sales team and they actively contact leads within 15 minutes of form submission.

Strategic Budget Allocation
We strategically allocated the budget based on past conversions and a thorough analysis of the sources. By carefully distributing funds across four targeted ad sets, we maximized the impact of each dollar spent.
In July 2024, recognizing the potential for even greater returns, we increased the monthly budget from $3,000 to $4,500. This adjustment proved pivotal, driving a substantial boost in lead generation. The data-driven approach ensured that every aspect of the budget was optimized to align with the campaign’s objectives, leading to a notable improvement in overall performance. This move significantly streamlined the lead generation process, ensuring that they received more relevant and actionable leads, ultimately boosting the overall success of the ads campaign.
