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 Lusaka and Kitwe 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.
Natasha 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 Zambia; 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 Zambian number is billed at Meta’s Zambia 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 Zambia, customers message to ask about prices and stock before travelling across town or from the Copperbelt. EliteTeQ Inbox keeps every one of those questions visible until someone has answered it.
Customers write in English, Bemba, Nyanja and other languages. Your team replies in the customer’s language; template messages are created in English.
Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Lusaka: 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.
The Copperbelt and Lusaka carry most formal trade, and mining pay dates concentrate demand into month-end far more sharply than in diversified economies. As a landlocked market, most goods arrive overland from the south, so shelf price follows freight cost.
Copperbelt Province · a Copperbelt mining town
Large-scale copper mining sets the rhythm, with pronounced month-end spending and sensitivity to shifts in mine activity. Retail clusters around the town centre and mine townships. Chingola's trade follows the rhythm of large-scale copper mining, with pronounced month-end spending peaks and sensitivity to shifts in mining activity. Target Chingola in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
Copperbelt Province · a Copperbelt mining town near the DRC border
Mining employment combines with proximity to the Congolese border, adding cross-border shoppers and a second currency to a payday-driven pattern. The binding constraint is clean mixed-tender records when customers arrive from both sides. Mufulira combines mining employment with proximity to the Congolese border, which adds cross-border shoppers and multi-currency exposure to an otherwise mining-driven demand pattern. Target Mufulira in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
Copperbelt Province · a Copperbelt mining town
A smaller Copperbelt town whose retail depends closely on nearby mining activity, with most businesses single-outlet and owner-run. The binding constraint is a clear daily total and correct receipting without administrative overhead. Luanshya is a smaller Copperbelt town whose retail trade depends closely on mining employment, making demand sensitive to activity at nearby operations. Target Luanshya in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
Eastern Province · an eastern trade town on the Malawian border
The Malawian border corridor brings cross-border shoppers and a second currency, while a large farming catchment sets a seasonal payment calendar. The binding constraint is credit tracked across the agricultural cycle alongside cross-border pricing. Chipata sits on the corridor to Malawi, which makes cross-border trade and shoppers a routine part of commerce and gives businesses regular exposure to more than one currency. Target Chipata in Meta Ads Manager and see which ad brought each chat from the city.
