What is lead?
Someone who showed interest in your product or service and left contact details.
A lead is someone who fills in a form, asks for a price by DM or requests an appointment. For service businesses, leads are often social media's most important output before sales.
Meta's lead ads let people fill in a form without leaving the app.
