Paid Advertising

Paid Advertising Services

We run Google and Meta ad campaigns built around high-intent buyers, direct-response copy and tracking that shows which ads bring enquiries.

What is paid advertising and how does it drive revenue?

Paid advertising is placing ads on platforms like Google Search, Performance Max and Meta, where you pay for clicks or impressions to reach likely buyers. Well-managed campaigns target high-intent searches and audiences, send them to matching landing pages and track every call or form, so budget moves towards the ads that produce enquiries and sales.

FAQs

Paid Advertising questions, answered.

Should we advertise on Google or Meta?

It depends on how your customers buy. Google Search captures people already searching for your service, so it suits high-intent demand. Meta reaches people based on interests and behaviour, which suits building demand and retargeting visitors. Many businesses start with Search, then add Meta retargeting once tracking shows what converts.

Why does conversion tracking matter?

Conversion tracking shows which campaigns, keywords and ads lead to calls, forms or sales, rather than just clicks. Without it, budget decisions are guesswork and platforms optimize for the wrong actions. We set up tracking through GA4, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel before scaling spend, so every change is based on real enquiries.

Is your management fee separate from ad spend?

Yes. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta from your own account, and our management fee covers strategy, setup, copy, tracking, optimization and reporting. This keeps everything transparent. You always see exactly how much goes to the ad platform and how much comes to us, with no hidden markups on media.

How soon will paid ads bring enquiries?

Ads can start showing within a day or two of launch, and some businesses see enquiries in the first few weeks. The first four to eight weeks are usually a learning period, while we refine targeting, bids and creative using real data. Performance tends to steady after that, depending on budget and competition.
