2HM BS reduces cost-per-lead by 64% with Conversational Ads & Chathero AI
How the full-service agency 2HM BS tripled lead quality and increased conversion rate by 187% through integrating Conversational Ads with Chathero AI chats – at significantly lower costs.
At a Glance
From click to qualified lead – in seconds instead of days
2HM BS serves mid-size and large companies in digital lead generation. The agency was looking for a way to close the gap between ad click and qualified sales contact – with a chatbot that immediately engages visitors in conversation on the website.
The idea: Conversational Ads that direct users from Meta and Google ads into an intelligent Chathero AI chat. Instead of a static form, the prospect experiences a personalized conversation – the AI Agent qualifies, advises and hands over warm leads to the sales team in real-time.
The result: 187% more conversions at 64% lower cost per lead – and a lead quality that excites the sales team.
The Challenge
Expensive clicks, cold leads – the limits of traditional lead generation
2HM BS faced an industry-wide problem: Rising advertising costs with declining form willingness among target groups.
High click costs, low conversion
Despite optimized campaigns, website conversion was only 2.3%. Over 97% of expensive clicks were lost – a massive budget problem.
Form fatigue of the target group
Classic lead forms scared off prospects. Especially on mobile (78% of traffic), form abandonment rates exceeded 85%.
Response times too long
Between ad click and first sales contact, an average of 36 hours passed. Studies show: After 5 minutes, contact willingness drops by 80%.
Poor lead quality
Only 18% of generated leads were actually ready to buy. The sales team wasted valuable time with unqualified contacts.
The Solution
Conversational Ads meets Chathero AI – the new lead funnel
2HM BS developed a completely new approach to lead generation with Chathero: From ad click to qualified conversation in under 30 seconds.
Conversational Ad Integration
Meta and Google ads direct users to the website, where the Chathero AI chat opens immediately. The prospect starts a conversation directly.
AI-powered Lead Qualification
The AI Agent conducts a natural conversation, recognizes buying signals and qualifies leads based on predefined criteria – budget, timeline, decision authority.
Automatic Lead Routing
Qualified leads are handed over in real-time to the right sales rep – including conversation summary and contact details.
Campaign Analytics & Optimization
Detailed reports show which ads generate the best conversations and highest-quality leads – for data-driven campaign optimization.
The Results
Measurable success after 4 months
The combination of Conversational Ads and Chathero AI has fundamentally transformed 2HM BS's lead generation.
Conversational Ads convert almost 3x better than traditional forms – thanks to immediate, personal dialogue.
Cost-per-lead dropped from an average of €47 to €17 – through higher conversion rates with the same ad budget.
AI qualification in chat increases the share of purchase-ready leads from 18% to 58%.
Instead of 36 hours, the prospect waits less than 30 seconds for first contact – directly in chat.
Agency clients of 2HM BS rate the new lead quality and speed as outstanding.
The sales team saves an average of 12 hours per week through automated pre-qualification.
