involve.me — "This is the fastest way to build a quiz funnel" (video for new audiences)

One exit for every ad

Every ad involve.me runs, on Facebook, Google or LinkedIn, ends at the same place: the free sign-up page.

There is no quiz, calculator or download along the way. In this funnel, the free account is the lead magnet.

The plan, in the order it happened

  • 13 August: ads start, but only for people who have already visited the site.
  • 26 August: those people are split into two groups, visitors from the last week and visitors from earlier.
  • 27 August: ads to new people finally begin, led by a video of a presenter talking in front of the involve.me homepage, the same page the ad links to.

Google sells the tool, Facebook sells the idea

On Facebook, every ad makes the same argument: you’re paying for a quiz tool, an email tool and the glue between them, and we’re all of that in one subscription. Only the example at the front changes.

On Google, each ad matches the tool the person searched for, such as “quiz maker” or “calculator builder”, and lands on that tool’s page. The page headline then adds the bigger idea: “AI Calculator Builder With Built-in Email Automation”.

The best step: it builds before it asks

Five of the pages Google sends people to open with a text box instead of a sign-up button. You type what you want, and involve.me’s AI builds the funnel for you (logo, colours, fonts and questions), no account needed.

Then it asks you to sign up to see it. By that point you’ve already put in the effort, and the result is waiting behind the form.

Worth noticing

  • The homepage has nothing interactive on it. For a company that sells quizzes and calculators, most of its paid Facebook traffic lands on a page with neither.
  • It used to be different. In late 2025 the ads offered free templates, on pages built with the product itself.
  • YouTube isn’t really a channel. The few video ads look like Google made them automatically from involve.me’s pictures and text, not videos anyone made on purpose.

The ads name follow-up as what breaks today ("Follow-up falls through", "Leads still go cold"), and every one promises personalized email sequences. The emails a new sign-up receives are where that promise gets tested.

Made for a big screen

See all 15 steps as one map

On a computer this funnel opens as a canvas: every page at full length, side by side, with the arrows between them and the moves that make it work. A phone screen can't hold it, so here it's a list.

    Google sells the tool, Facebook the idea

    Each Google search ad matches the tool searched for and lands on that tool's page. Facebook ads all argue that three tools can be one subscription.
