Paid advertising

Choosing and managing Google Search, YouTube and Shopping campaigns or Meta advertising, with the account, product-data and measurement work agreed for the engagement.

The problem

Campaigns can be difficult to assess when targeting, landing pages, product data and reporting do not align. A store may also need Merchant Center or feed issues resolved before its intended products are eligible. The appropriate work depends on the offer, account permissions and agreed scope.

The outcome

The intended result is a campaign setup suited to the business, with relevant landing pages or products, agreed measurement and clear reporting. Campaigns, Merchant Center and feed maintenance are scoped explicitly; no specific volume of leads, sales or return is promised.

The services, and what each one does here

  1. Illustrative social media ads for a fictional fitness studio: a sponsored feed post with a square creative, headline and "Book now" button, beside a phone showing the same offer as a full-screen vertical story ad with a swipe-up call to action.

    Meta Ads Management

    Creates demand among people who fit the customer profile but are not searching yet, and retargets visitors where consent allows. Choose it when the offer is visual or easy to explain, and you can supply images or video.

How they work together

Ad channels and agreed customer actions

  • Relevant destinations

    Campaigns lead to service, product or landing pages suited to the offer and agreed customer action.

  • Agreed measurement

    Where scoped, conversion events and reporting are aligned across channels with the necessary permissions and applicable privacy controls.

  • Product-data dependencies

    Shopping campaigns can require Merchant Center and product-feed setup, maintenance or troubleshooting, separately identified within Google Ads scope.

  • Comparable reporting

    Reports use the agreed measures for the business, which may include inquiries or purchases. Interpretation accounts for attribution differences rather than assuming platform totals are identical.

Choosing

Which do you need?

Many projects use more than one of these. If the situation doesn't fit neatly, describe it and we'll suggest where to start.

Ask which fits
Google Ads or Meta Ads?
Google Ads can cover Search, YouTube and Shopping; Meta Ads covers Facebook and Instagram. The choice depends on how customers discover the offer, the available creative or product catalog, eligibility and the agreed scope. Some engagements use both.
Should conversion tracking be set up before running ads?
Measurement requirements should be assessed before activation. Any setup or changes must be separately agreed where needed and use the necessary permissions and applicable privacy controls. See Conversion Tracking for measurement-specific work.
Do I need a dedicated landing page?
The destination must suit the offer. A service campaign may need a focused landing page, while Shopping campaigns require suitable product destinations and product data. Any page or store development is scoped separately.
