case study.

An 8+ year partnership with Oxygen Digital. How Buildxact scaled lead generation globally with Meta Ads.

10,500+ free trials generated across four markets

Buildxact partnered with Oxygen Digital to build and scale a Meta Ads engine that consistently delivers trial sign-ups across Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada.

The goal was straightforward: get construction software in front of the right builders at the right cost, and keep it there, across multiple markets, for years.

the challenge.

Generating high-quality leads at scale across AU, NZ and the US
Buildxact operates in a competitive construction software space where builders and contractors need convincing before they’ll trial a new platform. Getting in front of the right builders (and converting them) required more than brand awareness.

Educating a hands-on audience through paid social
The target audience isn’t sitting at a desk scrolling LinkedIn. Builders are on site. Reaching them through Meta required creative that spoke their language, addressed real pain points, and gave them a compelling reason to start a free trial.

Maintaining efficiency at significant ad spend
With campaigns running simultaneously across Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada, keeping cost per lead under control while scaling volume was an ongoing performance challenge.

Competing in a fragmented software market
Estimating and job management software is a crowded category. Buildxact needed to stand out against well-funded competitors in each market with messaging that landed – not just impressions.

breakthrough.

32,500+ leads generated across four markets

Over 8 years of continuous Meta Ads management, Buildxact’s campaigns generated more than 32,500 leads across Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada – with an average cost per lead of just $23 AUD.

The US market alone delivered nearly 17,000 leads. Australia followed with over 9,600. The account reached more than 140 million impressions and drove over 350,000 clicks to site, all while maintaining consistent efficiency at scale.

impact.

Buildxact now has a consistent, scalable pipeline of trial sign-ups flowing from paid social – across multiple markets, in a category where trust is everything.

By building campaigns around the real language builders use, the real problems they face – project blowouts, late estimates, chasing invoices – we created ads that didn’t feel like ads. The result was lower CPLs, stronger click-through rates, and an audience that actually converted.

What started as a single-market campaign in Australia has grown into a multi-country lead generation engine that continues to run and optimise today.
