Question 1

Do longer enquiry forms hurt lead volume? Show the math.

Accepted Answer

They lower volume, and that is usually the point - here is the arithmetic, all figures illustrative. Spend ₹50,000 on a short form: 100 enquiries at ₹500 each, of which 30% are worth quoting. That is 30 quotable enquiries at about ₹1,667 each, and sales screens 100 conversations to find them. Now add quantity, application and timeline fields and suppose conversion drops 40%: the same ₹50,000 buys 60 enquiries at ₹833 each. But the form did the screening, so 60% are quotable - 36 quotable enquiries at about ₹1,389 each. The lead got dearer; the quotable enquiry got cheaper, there are more of them, and sales screened 40 fewer conversations. Your real rates will differ by product line - we test the fields one at a time and let your numbers decide.

Question 2

Which platforms do you run for manufacturing, and why?

Accepted Answer

Mainly Google and LinkedIn, because together they cover B2B buying. Google captures the people already searching for a product, a capability or a supplier. LinkedIn reaches the decision-makers who are not searching yet, by company, function and seniority, and retargets the ones who engaged. How we split budget between the two depends on your products, your buyers and how much demand already exists. We decide it from the data, not a template.

Question 3

Our sales cycle is long and offline. How does paid media track that?

Accepted Answer

Through CRM conversion import. When an enquiry lands or a quote goes out in your CRM, that event is pushed back into Google and LinkedIn against the original click, even if months have passed. The platforms learn which clicks become genuine enquiries and bid toward them. Reporting follows the same wiring. Instead of cost per form, you see cost per qualified enquiry, which is the number a sales head can actually act on.

Question 4

How do you keep students and tyre-kickers out of the enquiry list?

Accepted Answer

Two layers, both inside the ad platforms. The forms and landing pages are built to ask the questions that most non-buyers will not complete. And the search campaigns run a negative-keyword discipline that keeps consumer, hobbyist and "how it works" traffic out of a B2B budget, so your sales team sees enquiries worth pursuing.
