Goal

Work out your break-even cost per request and a target, with every assumption written down.

Why it matters

Is $60 a lead cheap or a disaster? Without your own math, you can’t say. You’ll kill ads that were paying for themselves, or keep ads that lose money on every job. So before you judge a single number in Ads Manager, work out what one quote request is worth to you. Start from the job, walk down the chain, and write every guess down.

In the full lesson
