Click-to-WhatsApp ads
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 Kampala and Entebbe in Meta Ads Manager; every lead lands in the inbox with its ad.

“Hi, I saw your ad.” Great, but which ad?
EliteTeQ Inbox
The first message carries the ad. The chat shows the ad’s name from the first message, and the lead keeps it.
Ad leads wait hours for a reply and go cold.
EliteTeQ Inbox
A greeting goes out the moment they write, auto-assign hands them to the next teammate, and they stay flagged hot for 72 hours.
I can’t tell if the ad money came back.
EliteTeQ Inbox
Reports rank your ads by leads and by clients won, next to leads that came directly.

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.

Nothing to tag by hand: WhatsApp passes the ad along with the first message.
Atim taps “Send message” on your Facebook or Instagram ad and WhatsApp opens with your number.
The first message carries the ad, so the lead shows the ad headline and a link back to it.
A lead from an ad is hot for 72 hours, so your team answers it before it goes cold.
Reports show leads per day from ads vs direct, the top ads by leads, and how fast your team replied.
Same ads, same budget, same customers in Uganda; the difference is what happens after the tap.

| Ad leads buried under other chats | Flagged hot and sorted first for 72 hours |
| No count of leads per ad | Top ads ranked by leads in reports |
| No idea how fast they were answered | Reply speed in the same report |
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 Ugandan number is billed at Meta’s Uganda 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 Uganda, customers in Kampala ask about prices and delivery on WhatsApp before they buy. EliteTeQ Inbox keeps every enquiry visible to the team until it is answered.
Customers in Uganda write in English, Luganda and other languages. Your team replies the way they write; template messages can be created in English or Swahili.
Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Kampala: 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.
Kampala dominates formal trade while regional towns run on agricultural cycles and cross-border movement.
Eastern Region · an industrial town and adventure-tourism centre on the Nile
Long-established manufacturing sits alongside an adventure-tourism trade built around the Nile, producing steady industrial demand and sharp weekend leisure peaks. The binding constraint is handling invoicing and fast hospitality service from one system. Jinja combines long-established manufacturing with a visitor trade built around the Nile, so businesses see both steady industrial supply demand and sharp weekend and seasonal leisure peaks. Target Jinja in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
Western Region · the commercial centre of western Uganda
The cattle and dairy belt sets the earning calendar, so trade follows milk and livestock payments more than salaries. The binding constraint is agricultural supply credit tracked across those cycles, with mobile money as the standard tender. Mbarara is the trading hub of western Uganda and the centre of the country's cattle and dairy belt, so a meaningful share of commerce is agricultural supply and produce trade rather than urban retail. Target Mbarara in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
Northern Region · the largest city in northern Uganda and its main trade hub
Traders supply the surrounding districts and cross-border buyers, so wholesale and retail often run from the same shop. The binding constraint is recording mobile money correctly and keeping sales going when power or network drops. Gulu is the commercial centre of northern Uganda, supplying surrounding districts and trade heading north toward South Sudan. Target Gulu in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
