Click-to-WhatsApp ads

Know which ad sold itClick-to-WhatsApp ad lead tracking in Senegal

When someone taps your ad and messages you, the inbox records the ad, flags the lead hot and counts it in your reports.

Click-to-WhatsApp ads fill the business phone with “Hi, I saw your ad”, but nobody can say which ad worked or whether the leads were answered. EliteTeQ Inbox saves the ad on every lead it brings and shows you the result. Target customers in Dakar and Thiès in Meta Ads Manager; every lead lands in the inbox with its ad.

Paying for ads, guessing the result

  1. “Hi, I saw your ad.” Great, but which ad?

    EliteTeQ Inbox

    An open customer chat in EliteTeQ Inbox showing the ad it came from, an automatic greeting, a staff reply and an internal comment to the owner

    The first message carries the ad. The chat shows the ad’s name from the first message, and the lead keeps it.

  2. Ad leads wait hours for a reply and go cold.

    Greeting settings for a WhatsApp number: the automatic message sent once to new customers during office hours

    A greeting goes out the moment they write, auto-assign hands them to the next teammate, and they stay flagged hot for 72 hours.

  3. I can’t tell if the ad money came back.

What you see about your ads

The question every advertiser asks: did the money bring customers, and did we answer them?

Open any chat that came from an ad and the ad headline is there, with a link to the ad, so whoever answers knows what the customer saw.

How an ad lead is tracked

Nothing to tag by hand: WhatsApp passes the ad along with the first message.

  1. Someone taps your ad

    Fatou taps “Send message” on your Facebook or Instagram ad and WhatsApp opens with your number.

  2. The lead arrives with its ad

    The first message carries the ad, so the lead shows the ad headline and a link back to it.

  3. It goes to the top

    A lead from an ad is hot for 72 hours, so your team answers it before it goes cold.

  4. You count what each ad brought

    Reports show leads per day from ads vs direct, the top ads by leads, and how fast your team replied.

Ads into one phone vs ads into EliteTeQ Inbox

Same ads, same budget, same customers in Senegal; the difference is what happens after the tap.

EliteTeQ Inbox in Senegal

Replies inside the 24-hour window after a customer writes are free. Meta charges for template messages you start (marketing, authentication and most utility templates), priced by the customer’s country, so a template to a Senegalese number is billed at Meta’s Senegal rate. Chats that start from a Click-to-WhatsApp ad are free for 72 hours. Meta bills these charges to your own Meta account; they are not part of the EliteTeQ price.

In Senegal, customers often message a business before visiting a shop in Dakar or ordering for delivery. EliteTeQ Inbox lets a whole team answer from one business number.

Customers in Senegal write in French and Wolof. Your team replies the way they write, and template messages can be created in French.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Dakar: weekdays open, Saturday mornings open, Sunday closed. Anyone who writes while you are closed gets your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and the chat waits at the top of the list for the morning.

Selling on WhatsApp in Senegal

Dakar concentrates logistics and formal retail, while Touba's pilgrimage transforms trade for a defined period each year. Mobile wallets carry a large share of settlement.

Touba

Diourbel Region · a major religious centre and trading city

Touba's commerce is shaped by its role as a religious centre: trade volumes rise dramatically around the annual pilgrimage and fall back between times, producing swings far sharper than a normal retail calendar. Cash remains heavily used alongside mobile wallets. Target Touba in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.

Saint-Louis

Saint-Louis Region · a historic coastal city and fishing centre

The old town draws visitors while the fishing quarter runs on catch and market timing, giving the city two unrelated customer bases. Seasons drive both. Saint-Louis combines heritage tourism with a substantial fishing economy, so its trade has both a visitor-driven seasonal component and a steady local one. Target Saint-Louis in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.

Kaolack

Kaolack Region · a major trading city in central Senegal

A large market draws traders from across the region. Kaolack is a long-established trading city in Senegal's groundnut basin, with one of the country's largest markets. Wave and Orange Money are everyday payment methods, and taxes are administered by the DGID. Target Kaolack in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
