Overview

How we run paid media

We run paid media against one target: the cost of winning a customer. Every campaign, audience and budget decision is judged on that number rather than clicks or impressions.

(01)Google Ads

Search campaigns reach people at the moment they are looking for what you sell. We build tightly grouped campaigns around the services that make you money.

(02)Paid social

Paid social reaches people before they start searching. We use it to build demand and retarget visitors who have already shown interest.

(03)Display and retargeting

Display and retargeting keep your business in front of people who visited but did not enquire, with frequency capped so ads help rather than annoy.

(04)How we set and manage budget

Budgets are set by working back from the value of a customer. We move spend towards what converts and cut what does not, every week.

What we report

You see spend, enquiries, calls and cost per customer each month, by campaign, in plain language.

When paid beats organic, and when it doesn't

Paid gives fast, controllable results while organic builds long term visibility. We recommend the mix based on your market and how quickly you need results.

FAQ
(01)How much should I spend on paid advertising?
It depends on what a click costs in your market and what a customer is worth to you. We work backwards from your target cost per acquired customer rather than starting from a fixed monthly figure, and we will say plainly when a budget is too small to produce usable data.
(02)What budget do we need to start?
Ad spend usually starts around 1,000 dollars a month, with management from 15 percent. Below that, the data comes in too slowly to optimise properly.
(03)Is ad spend included in your fee?
No. Spend goes directly to Google or Meta on your card, management is billed separately. You see exactly what went to media and what went to us.
(04)How quickly do paid campaigns work?
Traffic arrives within days of launch. Useful optimisation needs two to four weeks of conversion data before we start cutting and scaling.
(05)Which platform suits us?
Google for people already searching for what you sell. Paid social for demand you have to create. Most local businesses start with Google and add social once cost per lead is stable.
(06)Do you build the landing pages?
Yes. Sending paid traffic to a generic page wastes budget, so purpose built landing pages are part of the work rather than an upsell.
