Meta Ads & Performance

Meta Ads that are judged on enquiries and sales.

Facebook and Instagram campaigns planned around the right audiences, tested creative and conversion tracking you can trust, so budget follows results rather than reach.

The problem

Reach is easy to buy. Results are not.

Meta can spend any budget quickly. Without clean conversion tracking, the platform optimises for whatever is easiest to find, which is often cheap clicks from people who never buy.

Most underperforming accounts share the same causes: too many small campaigns splitting the learning, one or two creatives running for months, and reports that show impressions and engagement instead of cost per enquiry or return on ad spend.

The work starts with measurement and structure, then turns creative into a steady testing process.

What is included

The work itself.

Scope is agreed per project. These are the parts most engagements include.

  • 01

    Tracking setup

    Meta Pixel and Conversions API, event mapping and checks against GA4 and your CRM.

  • 02

    Audience strategy

    Prospecting, lookalike and retargeting audiences built around your real customers.

  • 03

    Campaign structure

    Fewer, better-funded campaigns so the algorithm can learn, with clear budget rules.

  • 04

    Creative testing

    A testing plan for hooks, formats and offers, with briefs for new creative each cycle.

  • 05

    Retargeting

    Where appropriate: sequences for site visitors, engaged users and past customers.

  • 06

    Reporting

    Cost per result, conversion rate and lead quality, reviewed against what sales sees.

Process

How it runs.

The same cycle as every engagement: discover, plan, build, measure, improve. The full process

  1. 01

    Audit

    Account, pixel, events and past results reviewed. Wasted spend identified.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Goals, audiences, budget split and a first creative testing plan agreed.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Tracking fixed first, then campaigns built and launched in your account.

  4. 04

    Test

    Creative and audience tests on a fixed rhythm, with clear stop rules.

  5. 05

    Scale

    Budget moved to what produces qualified results; the rest is fixed or paused.

Meta Ads & Performance questions.

Something else? Ask directly.

Sometimes. It works well for retargeting, event and content promotion, and for B2B products with a broad buyer base. For narrow technical audiences, Google Ads and LinkedIn are often better first channels. You get an honest view before any budget is spent.

Enough for the campaign to collect meaningful conversion data each week. The right figure depends on your cost per result and market; it is estimated during the audit rather than quoted blindly.

Creative direction and briefs are included. Production can be done with your team, your designers or ours, depending on scope.

You do. Campaigns run in your Business Manager, and access is shared with the studio.
