Lead quality guide
Why Facebook leads are higher-funnel for dealerships, not automatically low quality.
Facebook leads often look weaker when a store judges them like search leads. The channel creates earlier interest, so the follow-up process has to be built for a longer buyer path.

Lead quality
Facebook leads look weak when they are judged like bottom-funnel search leads.
Social ads interrupt the feed. That creates earlier demand, which means the dealership needs a longer follow-up runway.
Early interest still has value.
A dealership that captures a cell phone and keeps following up can work demand before competitors see a lower-funnel search lead.
Quality depends heavily on follow-up design.
If the store only tries once or twice, it will misread higher-funnel demand as bad demand.
Buyer timing
Higher-funnel does not mean low value if the store can keep following up.
TECOBI helps dealerships capture the phone, respond quickly, nurture patiently, and wait for the customer to show stronger intent.
- The shopper may be interested before they are ready to price-shop a specific VIN.
- Persistent nurture lets the dealership stay present while intent develops.
- Outcome reporting prevents managers from judging the channel only by early replies.
