Advertising

Spend on ads you can actually judge.

Advertising can bring in enquiries quickly, but it can also spend money quietly. We plan campaigns around who you want to reach, keep you in control of the budget and review results with you.

  • Quoted after a meeting
  • Ad spend paid by you to the platform
  • Demo available

Sound familiar?

Where advertising goes wrong.

  • Ads were tried once, money was spent and nobody could say what came of it.
  • Campaigns run on default settings and reach people who will never buy.
  • The ad promises one thing and the page it links to says another.
  • I don’t know how much to spend, or how we would know if it worked.

Campaign sense-check

Sense-check your first campaign.

Four quick questions, no typing. You get a short test plan: one offer, one landing page, where to run it, how it would be judged and what to fix first. No figures are worked out and nothing is promised.

Illustrative example

What is the campaign for?
Where do your customers search or scroll?
A monthly test budget you are comfortable with

Your own choice of ad spend, paid to the ad platform. Not our fee.

What is ready?

Pick any that apply.

Your result

Pick a goal, where your customers look and a test budget band to see your plan.

What changes

What could change.

  • Campaigns aimed at a defined audience and a clear action.
  • Ads and landing pages that say the same thing.
  • Spend and responses reviewed together, with the limits of attribution explained.
  • A spending limit you set, and a clear decision at each review: continue, change or stop.

Possibilities we work towards with you, not promised results.

An example

A small, focused test before a larger spend

We only publish client work with permission. Ask us for relevant examples in a meeting. How we work

Illustrative example

Made up to show the kind of change. It is not a client story.

A business wants more enquiries for one profitable service. Rather than advertising everything, a single campaign targets that service in a defined area, links to a matching page and runs for an agreed period. The review then looks at enquiries received and decides whether to continue, change or stop.

How it works

How we run it with you.

  1. Step 1: Set the aim

    We agree which service, audience and action the campaign is for, and a budget you are comfortable with.

  2. Step 2: Prepare and approve

    We prepare ads and check the landing page, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

  3. Step 3: Run and watch

    We launch, monitor spend and adjust targeting within the agreed limits.

  4. Step 4: Review together

    We look at spend, responses and enquiries with you and agree what to do next.

Scope and price

What is included, and what it costs.

The scope is agreed after a meeting and written into your proposal before you commit. All final quotes follow a meeting.

Usually included

  • Campaign planning
  • Ad copy and creative within agreed scope
  • Landing page checks
  • Setup, monitoring and adjustments
  • Regular review

Proposed inclusions until your written proposal confirms them.

Not included, or needs checking

  • Ad spend, which is paid to the platform and kept separate from our fees
  • Guaranteed leads, sales or return on spend
  • Video or photography production unless scoped
  • Landing page builds, unless added to the scope

Anything here can be scoped and quoted separately.

Quote required

Quoted after a meeting

Our management fee depends on the number of platforms and campaigns and how often they are reviewed. Ad spend is separate: you pay the ad platform directly through your own ad account, and you set the limit.

  • No fixed tiers: the price follows the agreed scope.
  • Scope, price and term in writing before you commit.

Questions

Practical questions.

Something not covered here? Book a chat

How much should we spend on ads?

That depends on your service, area and margins. We suggest a sensible starting budget and you decide.

Can you prove the ads caused the sales?

Not always. We show what the platforms and your enquiry records report, and are clear about what cannot be proven.

Who owns the ad account?

You do. Campaigns run in an ad account in your business’s name, paid with your own card or billing. We are given access to manage it, and you keep the account, its history and its data if we stop working together.

Is ad spend included in the price?

No. You pay the ad platform directly through your own ad account, and you set the spending limit. Our management fee is quoted separately after a meeting.

Can you guarantee results?

No. Nobody can honestly promise leads, sales or a return on ad spend. We agree how a test will be judged before it starts, check it weekly, review it with you monthly and say plainly whether to continue, change or stop.

Next step

Let’s talk about a first test.

Bring the service or product you most want to sell. We will say plainly whether a small test makes sense, what we would fix first and how we would judge it, with our fee quoted and your ad spend kept separate.
