As someone managing health, fitness, and wellness campaigns across Florida for over a decade, I can confidently say:

Weight loss is one of the most competitive — and profitable — niches on Facebook.

But it requires:

• Smart positioning
• Policy-compliant messaging
• Emotional storytelling
• Strong funnel tracking in GA4

In Orlando-based campaigns, we typically see:

• $9–$22 CPL for lead generation
• 2.5–6% conversion rate
• 4x–10x ROAS when funnels are optimized
