How a two-month Meta test produced 30 plumbing leads

Plumbing is a search-first category. This was a test of whether paid social can create plumbing demand rather than just catch it — run small, reported honestly.

Timeline

2 months — 2025

01 — The challenge

Emergency demand does not scroll. So can social create it?

Plomberial is a certified Montreal plumbing company handling installation, repair and emergencies. Its natural channel is search: a blocked drain produces a query within minutes.

Paid social starts from the opposite place. Nobody scrolling a feed has a burst pipe at that moment. The honest question was not "will this beat search" — it was "could enough interest be built in planned plumbing work, at an acceptable cost per lead, to justify a budget line".

“Emergencies find me on Google. What I do not have is a way to fill the calendar with the planned jobs — the water heater someone knows they should replace before it fails.”

Two months, CA$989, and a clear answer at CA$32.97 per lead.

02 — Our approach

Test the planned job, not the emergency.

Creative targeted planned, deferrable work — replacements and upgrades a homeowner has been putting off — rather than emergencies that will never be found in a feed.

The test was capped deliberately. Two months of spend is enough to read a cost per lead and not enough to build a false trend, and this page says so rather than presenting it as a campaign history.

One lead action counted, at 30. Every softer signal excluded.

03 — What we did

Planned-work creative, a capped test, one action counted.

A short test, reported at its real size.

Planned-work angle

Advertised the job people postpone

Water heaters, replacements and upgrades — work a homeowner can be persuaded to schedule — rather than emergencies social cannot reach.

Enough spend to read a cost per lead, not enough to pretend it is a trend.

04 — The results

A two-month test: 30 leads at CA$32.97 each.

Period covered: the two months with reported data in late 2025. This was a capped test, not a full campaign history.

Source: Meta Marketing API, client ad account (ID withheld) — the single lead action; messaging starts and landing-page views are excluded. Meta-attributed, not reconciled against client-side records.
