Social Media Advertising

Social Media Advertising Aimed at Qualified Enquiries

Paid Facebook and Instagram campaigns with proper pixel setup, tested creative and audiences narrowed to the people you can actually serve.

Overview

What This Service Covers

Paid social differs from search advertising in one important way: nobody was looking for you. Your ad interrupts a feed, so the creative and the offer carry almost all of the weight.

That makes disciplined testing essential. I run structured campaigns where creative, audience and offer are tested one variable at a time, with the pixel and conversion events set up correctly so the platform learns from real outcomes.

Challenges

Why Boosted Posts Disappoint

  • Boosting for engagement instead of optimising for enquiries
  • Pixel or conversions API missing, so the platform cannot optimise properly
  • One creative running until it burns out, with nothing queued to replace it
  • Audiences far wider than the area the business can service
Approach

How I Run Paid Social

Setup comes first: pixel installed, conversion events defined, audiences built from your service area and, where available, your customer list.

Then structured testing — several creative angles against a defined audience, with the winners scaled and losers retired on a set schedule rather than on instinct.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is paid social better than Google Ads?

They serve different moments. Search captures existing demand; paid social creates awareness and works well for visual services and retargeting. Many businesses benefit from both.

What should I budget?

Enough for the platform to gather conversion data — typically a consistent daily amount over at least a month rather than a short burst.

Do lead forms or landing pages work better?

Instant forms usually cost less per lead but can attract lower intent. Landing pages tend to produce better-qualified enquiries. Testing both is often worthwhile.

Can you design the ad creative?

Yes, images, copy and simple video edits are produced in your brand style.

How quickly will we see results?

Data starts arriving in days, but allow a few weeks of testing before judging the campaign structure.
