Targeting

Targeting Strategy for Delhi (2026)

Cold

Local radius + interests + broad. Let creatives and engagement signals do the heavy lifting.

Warm

Retarget video viewers, profile engagers, page/IG engagers. This is where CPL drops.

Hot

Retarget WhatsApp openers, website visitors, and leads list (if available) with proof + urgency.

Creatives

Creatives That Convert to WhatsApp Conversations

1
Proof Creative

Results / Reviews / Before-After

Best for warm audiences. Add a specific outcome and “Message on WhatsApp” CTA.

2
Offer Creative

Plan / Audit / Pricing Range

Works for cold too. Make the offer measurable and easy to say yes to.

3
Problem-Solution

“If you’re facing X, do Y”

Short hook, quick fix, then WhatsApp CTA for the full plan.

4
Founder / Face

Human trust + direct pitch

Works well in Delhi markets where trust and response speed matter.

WhatsApp Script

Qualification Script (Copy-Paste)

Use these 3 questions to improve lead quality without sounding rude:

  • Q1: “Which service do you need? (Instagram / Meta Ads / Complete SMM)”
  • Q2: “What is your business type and location in Delhi/NCR?”
  • Q3: “What’s your goal this month? (leads / sales / brand / footfall)”
Pro tip: send one proof asset after Q2 (review/case snapshot). Trust first → close faster.
KPIs

KPIs That Actually Matter (Not Vanity Metrics)

  • Cost per WhatsApp conversation (top-of-funnel)
  • Qualified lead rate (quality gate)
  • Cost per qualified lead (real CPL)
  • Booked calls + close rate (revenue linkage)
  • Reply time (Delhi lead quality is sensitive to speed)
FAQs

FAQs (AI-Friendly)

Concise answers designed for featured snippets and AI citations.

Q1) What are Click-to-WhatsApp ads on Facebook or Instagram?

Click-to-WhatsApp ads are Meta ads that open a WhatsApp chat when a user taps the CTA. This reduces friction because the prospect doesn’t need to fill a long form. For Delhi businesses, the best results come from a clear offer, fast replies, and a short qualification script.

Q2) Do Click-to-WhatsApp ads work for local Delhi businesses?

Yes, especially for services where customers want quick pricing, availability, or consultation. Local targeting + proof creatives + retargeting often produces a steady flow of WhatsApp conversations. The key is to track qualified leads, not just chats, and improve follow-ups.

Q3) What budget is needed for WhatsApp lead generation in Delhi?

Budgets vary by niche and competition, but a practical starting point is a test budget that runs 10–14 days to validate creatives, audiences, and the qualification flow. After you identify a consistent cost per qualified lead, scale gradually while maintaining reply speed and lead quality.

Q4) How do I improve lead quality from WhatsApp ads?

Use a tighter offer, add proof (reviews/results), and ask 2–4 qualification questions in the first message. Retarget engagers with a stronger CTA instead of pushing cold audiences directly to WhatsApp. Also exclude irrelevant locations and refine targeting by engagement and intent signals.

Q5) What KPIs should I track for Click-to-WhatsApp campaigns?

Track cost per WhatsApp conversation, reply time, qualified lead rate, cost per qualified lead, booked calls, and close rate. These KPIs connect spending to revenue. If you only track clicks or chats, you’ll miss where quality drops inside the conversation stage.
