Calls, forms or WhatsApp: which enquiry should your ad ask for?

Most ad accounts pick one way to ask for an enquiry and stay with it. We prefer to test the same message three ways: a call button, an instant form and a WhatsApp chat.

For Plato's Academy's 2026-27 admissions, the call campaign brought 246 phone calls at about ₹52 each. The WhatsApp campaigns ran from about ₹150 to ₹630 per conversation, and instant forms from about ₹135 to ₹300 per lead.

The lesson is not that calls always win. Parents choosing a school want to talk to a person. A fashion brand may want the opposite: Devrobes got WhatsApp chats at under ₹5 each.

Pick the enquiry that matches how your customer already behaves, test the other two with a small budget, and let the cost per enquiry decide.
