🎯 The Key to Better Ad Performance: Validating Entry Data on Landing Pages
A few weeks ago, we talked about True Conversions—leads that are not spam, but real potential customers. The key takeaway? Sending only high-quality leads back to Google Ads or Meta as conversions helps their AI optimize for more of the same—leading to a stronger ROI.
But here’s the problem: Most lead validation happens offline, after the form is submitted. By then, junk leads have already tainted your campaign’s optimization. What if you could stop low-quality leads before they even hit your CRM?
🚀 The Solution: Real-Time Data Validation
Instead of cleaning up spam later, why not prevent bad leads from submitting forms in the first place? Here’s how we do it:
✅ Email & Phone Validation:
  • Ensure email addresses are correctly formatted (no missing “@”, no gibberish text).
  • Use third-party validation services to check for real, active inboxes.
  • Validate phone numbers to ensure they are real and match the correct format.
✅ Heuristic Text Validation:
  • If asking for revenue, look for reasonable responses like “$1M”, “$500K”, or “100K+”—reject vague or nonsense inputs.
  • Use dropdowns or multiple-choice fields where possible to limit junk entries.
✅ CAPTCHA & Honeypots:
  • Simple yet effective ways to filter out bots without frustrating real users.
📈 The Payoff? Higher Lead Quality + Smarter Ad Spend
By implementing these validation techniques, you:
✔ Reduce spam leads before they hit your CRM.
✔ Improve the quality of data fed back into Google & Meta.
✔ Allow ad platforms to optimize for real customers—not junk.
✔ Save time & resources on manual lead cleanup.
It’s a simple fix with huge results. Ready to implement this for your campaigns? 🚀
