This is a prominent area that can benefit from AI and/or automation. In the first quarter of 2023, Facebook had around 2.98 billion monthly active users. Now that is a massive audience, but what makes it even more real is that the average CTR for Facebook Lead Ads across industries is 0.90%. Not too shabby, eh?
