A webinar is one of the cheapest ways to generate hot leads \u2014 if the funnel behind it is built correctly. Running ads, a chatbot, and a webinar room as separate, disconnected pieces rarely works. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how a facebook ads agency ties “ads \u2192 chatbot \u2192 webinar” into one funnel, and where most leads actually leak out.<\/p>\n

Each piece on its own performs poorly \u2014 ads without warm-up lose cold leads, a bot without a webinar never closes a sale, and a webinar without a warmed-up bot audience fills an empty room. Together, these three stages form a controllable process where you can see exactly how many people move from one step to the next.<\/p>\n Stage 1. Paid social ads to a lead magnet<\/h2>\nIf the website already has all the information about the upcoming event, use a two-page format: the first page collects an email or phone number, the second immediately delivers the lead magnet promised in the creative. This lowers cost per lead, because people aren’t left guessing between what the ad promised and what the landing page actually shows.<\/p>\n A facebook ads agency running this kind of campaign will typically set the objective to Conversions \u2014 either a bot subscription button or a thank-you page, depending on budget. A thank-you page costs more but gives cleaner analytics, while a bot subscription should still be tracked as a separate event for reporting.<\/p>\n \n Plan for several dozen audiences per launch and at least 3\u20134 creatives per audience \u2014 always including video. Story and feed formats should differ: what performs well in a 9-second vertical story often flops in the main feed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Stage 2. Chatbot: delivering the lead magnet and warming up leads<\/h2>\nAt this stage the chatbot handles two jobs at once: it delivers the promised lead magnet and immediately enrolls the person in a reminder sequence about the webinar. This tends to outperform a plain email reminder, because open rates in messengers are higher and the reminder lands in a channel the person is already actively using.<\/p>\n Give people a channel choice upfront \u2014 Telegram, Viber, Instagram Direct \u2014 rather than forcing everyone into one messenger. Multi-channel platforms like ManyChat, Chatfuel, or Leadsbridge let you set up marketing automation across channels while keeping one shared subscriber list and per-channel stats.<\/p>\n \n
