The results are inconsistent, sometimes good, sometimes bad, it's so frustrating! I'm spending a $50 daily budget on potential European clients, and I'm getting far too few applications.
 
In general, the best strategy for such products is to participate in exhibitions and present them at factories. This is exactly what they do in the region where I live. For keywords, try a keyword monitoring service, for example, https://www.cloudns(dot)net/keyword-monitoring
 
This product will be difficult to convert on Facebook. Users need time to consider the product and related factors. You should switch to Google Ads and other forms of direct sales
 
Sounds like your targeting or creative isnt fully dialed in. try testing broader interest combos, refresh creatives more often, make sure your landing page converts europe audiences can be picky.
 
Do you have plan to increase the budget gradually? I think it can help making the results get better
 
Consider experimenting with different audience segments and ad formats. Even small tweaks in copy or visuals can make a noticeable difference in applications.
 
Which ad network do you use? Google Ads?
 
It's a very narrow target audience, it's going to be difficult to find one on Facebook, Facebook is good for a wide audience.
 
For high cost industrial machinery like laser cutters, Facebook is the wrong platform for direct sales. The audience is too broad and not in a purchasing mindset. You're getting tirekickers, not qualified leads.

Instead, use Facebook to run lead magnet campaigns targeting manufacturing plant managers. Offer a free, high-value resource like a CNC Machine Maintenance Checklist or Material Cost Calculator in exchange for their contact info. This builds a qualified email list you can nurture with case studies and direct sales outreach.

Also, create lookalike audiences from your website visitors who spent 2+ minutes on product pages. These are warmed-up prospects. Target them with video demos of your machine solving specific problems (e.g- How to cut 20mm steel with 0.1mm precision). This focuses on the result, not the machine specs, which converts better.
 
You can also test broader audiences but filter them with more specific ad creatives so only relevant users engage.
 
Use Google for that niche. No company will look on social media for laser machinery.
 
The best keywords industrial laser cutting machine, fiber laser cutting machine, CNC laser cutting machine for metal
 
Try to think as a company, do you think they look on Facebook for machinery? They either google or they go to machine marketplaces
 
Happens a lot with EU traffic lately. Performance jumps up and down, even with stable budgets. Test narrower geo or refresh your creatives sometimes a small tweak stabilizes things.
 
bro, ur problem maybe ur conversion goal, u should put leads target, and good clear advertisment, goud landing page, u can also try whatsapp msgs taget, or messenger depending on ,market ur targetting, that work really good for beauty offers for me, in eu especailly COD, otherwise u can try other platform if u targettting a super micro niche, u can for example lunch google search or bing search as well, for that stuff of machines, and products that companies order, bing work the best, as it s the main research motor for most of companies!

For bidding, it’s usually best to start with “Maximize Conversions” so Google can learn quickly. If you’re getting at least 30 conversions a month, switching to Target CPA gives the algorithm a clearer goal and often leads to more stable results. Small tweaks by device, location, or time of day can also help improve overall efficiency.

When looking at country performance, a $50/day budget works much better when focused. Instead of spreading it across too many European markets, pick the 2–4 countries that bring the most engagement or conversions. Put most of your budget there and pause the underperformers — you’ll see stronger and more consistent results.
 
This is a common situation for advertisers: ads produce results, but those results aren't sustainable. You should find content with good engagement, then scale up by filtering out the best campaigns until you find truly effective content (no one can do this process for you).
 
First, you should double-check your targeting to ensure it's correct. Targeting too broadly or with incorrect detail can cause Facebook to target you incorrectly.
 
Focus on high-intent, geo-specific long-tail keywords like buy large laser cutter Europe” and exclude irrelevant terms.
Align ad copy and landing pages with search intent and continuously A/B test for improved CTR and application rates.
