September is the strongest LSA month since June: 17 charged leads through Sep 16, with nine of them landing in the single week of Sep 7. Meta delivered 33 leads on $1,943.99, and the two legacy campaigns have converged at about $55 per lead each — the Creative Test's early price advantage is gone, which is exactly why the two were consolidated. The new single Landing Page campaign launched Sep 17 at $150/day and is still in learning. Expect its cost per lead to read high for a week; the number that decides it is cost per appointment against the $232 baseline, read on day 14.

August, final: the seasonal dip reversed and August finished as the second-busiest month of the season — 52 LSA leads (38 charged, 73%) with the week of Aug 24 hitting 13, and Meta beat July outright: 40 leads vs 28, at $44.36 CPL on $1,774.53 spend. Both late-month disputes (Mayfield call, Medina message) resolved to charged. The one number still open is August's LSA spend — the transactions total or billing statement closes it.
