Hitting cost-per-install goals for 16 years and counting.
ADT and PX have worked together for over 16 years. What started as a slice of ADT's third-party email and digital programs grew into something bigger: ADT moved all 45+ of its third-party lead sources onto the PX platform, making PX the technology layer behind its entire third-party acquisition engine.

"Working with PX has changed our view on the ability to run a full-scale email program at a cost-per-lead compensation. The ADT email campaigns through PX have created scale, large efficiencies, and innovation through the appointment scheduling flow that really has opened new doors of opportunities for us. We feel that the team at PX is an extension of our team, and we are looking forward to further scaling."
The Challenge
Financial risk
Paying for leads upfront on a cost-per-lead basis in a category with a long sales cycle.
Sub-optimized landing pages
Limited testing on lead-capture pages, leaving them under-optimized and converting fewer clicks into leads.
Compliance exposure
Mitigating and managing the compliance risk that comes from leads generated on third-party hosted landing pages.
Unreachable leads
35 to 40% of leads could not be contacted, the result of poor routing and no in-form validation.
No transparency
No central system for source visibility or compliance monitoring, and limited real-time insight.
The Goals
Cost-per-install
Hit CPI targets consistently, not just on average.
Email channel
Expand it with compliance and speed to market.
Branded pages
Build attractive landing pages with flexible conversion paths that scale fast.
Volume
Grow branded landing-page traffic and lead volume.
Visibility
Full transparency on sources, performance, creative, and compliance.
How PX helped ADT scale within CPA targets
PX became the core technology layer behind ADT's third-party acquisition. Three things made the difference:
One platform, full transparency
ADT moved all 45+ third-party lead sources onto PX. That standardized and automated source onboarding, budget management, performance reporting, and compliance monitoring in one place.
ADT now sees source and sub-source performance, real-time cost-per-install and cost-per-sale trends, contactability breakdowns, install-probability and maturity-curve modeling, creative performance, and lead-source benchmarks in a single view. Decisions run on real-time, unified data instead of fragmented vendor reports.
Dynamic pricing and smarter routing
PX prices every lead with dynamic pricing, set on attributes like source and sub-source performance, time of day, geography, and predictive install likelihood. Leads route automatically to the right call center, and segment-based flows split renters from homeowners and pro from DIY installers.
Embedded appointment scheduling turns the 35 to 40% of leads that used to go unreachable into booked calls, reaching prospects before the window closes.
Branded pages, tested and compliant
PX rebuilt ADT's third-party landing pages into a modular system with continuous A/B testing and real-time validation, including phone verification and error prevention. Home and renter campaigns run on a single branded form that routes to the right call center on the back end. Strategic partnerships keep ADT ranked first on comparison sites, building awareness and credibility.
Regular promotional and seasonal email creative drives scale and feeds organic traffic, while a dedicated compliance manager keeps every mailer Can-Spam compliant through ongoing audits.
The result
By centralizing 45+ partners, pricing leads dynamically, and building compliance into every campaign, PX helped ADT scale volume while holding cost-per-install targets. ADT now pays all its lead sources on a cost-per-install basis, a rare model in home services that ties cost to performance, not spend, and lowers CAC.
