# TikTok Insurance Lead Quality: What to Expect (Honest Breakdown)

## TL;DR

TikTok leads: 15-25% contact rate, 20-35% close rate — best ROI of any source

Here's an honest assessment of TikTok insurance lead quality:</p><p><strong>What you WILL get:</strong></p><ul><li>Exclusive leads that opted in through your content</li><li>Higher contact rates than any vendor (15-25%)</li><li>Pre-educated prospects who watched your video first</li><li>Lead data (name, phone, email) captured in real-time</li></ul><p><strong>What you should expect:</strong></p><ul><li>Not every lead will answer the phone on the first try (hence the 7-12 touch framework)</li><li>Some leads are "just curious" and not ready to buy immediately</li><li>A percentage will be unqualified — that's normal for any lead source</li><li>Quality improves over time as TikTok's algorithm learns your ideal customer</li></ul><h2>Quality Metrics Compared</h2><table data-ai-block='comparison'><thead><tr><th>Metric</th><th>TikTok Leads</th><th>Facebook Leads</th><th>Vendor Leads</th><th>Google Leads</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Contact Rate</td><td>15-25%</td><td>10-18%</td><td>3-8%</td><td>20-30%</td></tr><tr><td>Appointment Rate</td><td>40-60%</td><td>30-45%</td><td>15-25%</td><td>45-60%</td></tr><tr><td>Close Rate</td><td>20-35%</td><td>15-25%</td><td>5-15%</td><td>25-40%</td></tr><tr><td>Lead Intent</td><td>Medium-High</td><td>Medium</td><td>Low-Medium</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>Cost Per Lead</td><td>$3-$5</td><td>$8-$15</td><td>$15-$50</td><td>$15-$50</td></tr><tr><td>Cost Per Sale</td><td>$75-$150</td><td>$200-$500</td><td>$500-$2,500</td><td>$150-$400</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>How Quality Improves Over Time</h2><p>TikTok lead quality isn't static — it improves as your campaigns mature:</p><ul><li><strong>Week 1-2</strong>: Broad targeting, mixed quality.

This is similar to Facebook (20-30%) and much better than vendor leads (40-60% unreachable). The key is volume — at $5/lead, the math works even with some unqualified leads.</p><h3>Are TikTok leads as good as Google Ads leads?</h3><p>Google leads have slightly higher intent (they're actively searching), but cost 3-10x more. On a cost-per-sale basis, TikTok delivers better ROI because the volume-to-cost ratio is significantly better.</p><h3>How do I handle unqualified leads?</h3><p>unLocked CRM automatically scores and segments leads. Unqualified leads get moved to a long-term nurture sequence, while high-quality leads get priority follow-up. Nothing is wasted.</p></div>
