From Junk Leads to High-Quality Conversions: The Growth Story of AK Plywood on Meta Ads

Client Overview

With a legacy spanning 4 decades, AK Apple Ply has grown into one of India’s largest and most trusted manufacturers of allied wood products. They offer a diverse product range and are recognized for their commitment to sustainability. As one of the first companies in India to procure FSC®-certified timber, AK Apple Ply sets industry benchmarks in eco-friendly practices. Their strong distribution network gives them a competitive edge, making them a preferred choice among dealers and buyers.

The Roadblock We Had to Clear

AK Apple Ply struggled with a common digital marketing roadblock that looked something like this:

  • High volume of junk leads diluting sales efforts and 
  • Low conversion rates impacting ROI

The brand needed a targeted strategy to filter out unqualified leads and drive higher conversion rates.

The Strategy That Made the Difference

To optimize lead quality, we focused on three key areas:

  • Pinpointing Bottlenecks in Meta Ads
    We dug deep into the campaign structure, spotting inefficiencies that were letting junk leads slip through.
  • Optimized Targeting—Cut Junk Leads from 30% to 10%
    Sharper audience segmentation + smarter ad placements = reaching serious buyers, not just window shoppers.
  • Strengthening Messaging for the Right Impact Through campaign testing, we discovered that our audience responded better to simple messaging focused on USPs and eye-catching visuals highlighting the plywood. So, we refined our creatives to emphasize both effectively.

The Results? Quality and Volume in Harmony

Our optimized strategy struck the perfect balance—delivering a higher volume of leads while maintaining quality.
