CONTENT & GROWTH — PAID MEDIA

Buy attention that turns into work.

Campaign strategy, paid search, paid social, creative testing, and paid media analysis. Five parts of spending an ad budget on people who were going to buy something anyway.

Talk About Your Ad Spend
THE PROBLEM

Any agency can spend your budget. Few can tell you what it bought.

The monthly report shows impressions, clicks, and a cost per click that went down. Nobody can say how many jobs came from it. Meanwhile the campaign has been running the same three ads since the day it launched.

01 CONTENT & GROWTH

Campaign Strategy

Campaign strategy is the set of decisions made before any money moves. Who you are targeting, what you are offering them, which platform reaches them, and what a good result costs.

Most of what goes wrong in paid media was decided here. Chasing searches that never convert, sending traffic to a homepage, or setting a budget that cannot buy enough data to learn from.

We work backwards from what a customer is worth to you. That sets what you can afford to pay for a lead, which decides everything about how the campaigns get built.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH

A campaign plan with defined audiences, offers, and a target cost per lead your business can actually sustain.

Creative Testing

The creative decides more of your result than the targeting does. Two ads in the same campaign, to the same audience, routinely differ in cost per lead by half.

Most accounts never find that out because they launch three ads and leave them running until performance drops. We test angles rather than colors, because the message that lands is usually the discovery, not the button.

We produce the ads as well as test them, and we retire what stops working before the audience gets tired of it.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH

A tested set of ads with evidence for which message works, and new creative in rotation before the current set wears out.

QUESTIONS

What people usually ask before we start.

What is the minimum budget worth starting with?

It depends on the market, but below roughly two thousand a month there is rarely enough data to optimize anything. We will tell you if your budget is too thin for the plan.

Do we own the ad accounts?

Yes. They are set up in your name, and the accounts, the data, and the creative stay with you if we stop working together.

Should we be on Google or Meta?

Google when people already search for what you sell. Meta when they do not know to look for it yet. Plenty of businesses need both, though rarely at the same time on a limited budget.

How long before it works?

Paid search can produce leads in the first week. Getting the cost per lead where it should be usually takes two or three months of testing.

Can you use our existing landing pages?

We will review them first. Ad performance is often limited by the page rather than the campaign, and sending good traffic to a weak page wastes the budget either way.

What happens when we stop spending?

The leads stop, which is the trade-off with paid media. It buys results quickly and stops when you do, which is why it works best alongside search visibility that keeps earning.
