Advertising you can actually check.

Most agencies report on clicks because clicks always look good. We set up the tracking first, so every month you can see what the spend returned — including when the answer is not enough.

In short

We run Google, Meta and TikTok ads and report on what they return, not on impressions. Tracking gets fixed before any spend — most accounts we inherit are counting the wrong thing. Search campaigns can produce leads in week one; Meta usually needs two to four weeks to settle.

Every number depends on the third row.

Tracking is not admin — it is what makes the rest of it real.

what this actually means

If the tracking is wrong, the reporting is fiction. Almost every account we inherit has broken tracking.

The usual pattern is a conversion set to fire on every homepage visit, or on a form that submits without changing the page — so the platform never sees it. Either way, the monthly report is confident and meaningless, and the algorithm has been optimising toward the wrong thing for months.

We fix that before spending anything. Conversions that fire on real events, values attached to them, and the platforms and your analytics agreeing with each other. Only then do the ads go live.

Then we run them: Google, Meta, TikTok, whichever suits your buyer. Small tests first, scale what returns, stop what does not — and tell you plainly which is which.

what we build

What we do.

01

Tracking, fixed first

Conversions that fire on real events with real values. Server-side where the browser blocks it. Everything else depends on this being right.

02

Google Search

Catching people already looking for what you sell. Usually the highest intent and the first place we spend.

03

Meta and Instagram

Reaching people before they search. Needs stronger creative and more patience than search, and works differently for it.

04

Shopping and product feeds

For stores. A clean, complete feed does more for performance than most campaign settings ever will.

05

Remarketing that is not annoying

Capped, timed, and switched off once someone buys. The most common way brands irritate their own customers.

06

Landing pages built to convert

Sending paid traffic to your homepage wastes it. We build the page the ad deserves.

07

Creative testing

On Meta and TikTok the creative is the targeting. We test systematically rather than refreshing when someone gets bored.

08

Reporting you can read

Spend, leads, cost per lead, revenue where we can see it. One page, plain language, including the parts that did not work.

Where should the first budget go?

Costs and behaviour differ sharply by channel and by market. This is roughly how we think about the first month.

use cases

When this is worth doing.

01

You know what a customer is worth

Paid works when you can say roughly what a lead or sale earns you. Without that number, nobody can judge whether the spend is working.

02

You are already converting organically

Ads amplify what works. If your site does not convert the traffic it has, paid traffic will not convert either — it will just cost more.

03

You need volume faster than SEO delivers

SEO compounds but takes months. Paid buys you tomorrow. Most businesses need both, in that order of patience.

04

Your market searches for what you sell

Search demand makes Google straightforward. Where demand is thin, Meta and content usually do more.

approach

How we work.

01

We audit what is running

Existing accounts, tracking, and what the numbers actually say. This is normally where we find that conversions have been counting the wrong thing.

02

We fix the tracking

Before spending anything. Conversions on real events, values attached, platforms and analytics agreeing. Otherwise every decision after this is a guess.

03

We agree what success is

A target cost per lead or return on spend, written down before launch, so nobody is grading their own homework at month end.

04

We start small and deliberately

A limited budget across a few clearly separated tests. Enough to learn from, not enough to lose.

05

We scale what returns

Budget moves toward what works and away from what does not, weekly. Most of the value is in this loop rather than in the setup.

06

We report plainly, monthly

What we spent, what it returned, what we changed and what we are trying next — including the tests that failed.

faq

Frequently asked.

6 questions answered. Still have one? Reach out.

Enough that the results mean something. A budget that produces two leads a month cannot tell you whether it is working — the numbers are too small to separate signal from luck. We would rather run one channel with a real budget than three underfunded ones, and we will tell you if the budget you have in mind is too thin to learn from before we take it.
