  • Honest, reconciled reporting

Why social spend stalls

Attention is cheap. Customers are not.

On Meta, creative is the targeting. When ads fatigue, signals are weak or the Pixel and Conversions API miss events, costs climb and the algorithm optimises toward the wrong people.

We fix measurement first, then run a structured creative testing programme across Facebook and Instagram, judging results by real sales and qualified leads rather than in-platform clicks.

Automation works best with the right inputs.

Meta's delivery system optimises toward the events you send it. We make sure purchase and lead events are accurate, deduplicated and tied to real value, so automation finds the right people.

What the work includes

Six parts of a well-run Meta Ads account.

The proposal defines campaign types, budgets, targets and approvals. Every workstream ends with a concrete output.

  • Hooks, angles and formats

Rolling creative test plan with clear winners.

Inside the review

Every creative test starts with a clear hypothesis.

Each test states what we expect, who it targets and how we'll judge it.

The hypothesis
What we're changing and why we expect it to help.
The audience
Who sees the test, on which channel and with what budget.
The decision
The metric and threshold that decide whether we scale or stop.

Discuss your Meta Ads

You keep ownership of all ad accounts and data. An enquiry is not an order or payment. Ad spend is paid directly to platforms and never bundled into our fees.

Measurement you can trust

Results, reconciled honestly.

Our scorecard compares platform, analytics and sales data so you see what spend really achieved.

Meta Ads reporting metrics and their interpretation limits
SignalWhat we reviewWhat it cannot prove
Meta-reported conversionsPurchases or leads Meta attributes to ads.Attributed and partly modelled; includes view-through and some sales that would have happened anyway.
Return on ad spendConversion value against spend.Ignores margin, returns and repeat purchases unless adjusted.
New vs existing customersHow much spend reaches genuinely new buyers.Depends on customer lists being shared and kept current.
Creative performanceHook rate, click-through and conversion by concept.Early winners can fade; small samples mislead.
Qualified leadsLeads confirmed in your CRM.Needs CRM feedback; long sales cycles delay the picture.

We never promise a fixed ROAS or cost per lead. When platforms disagree, we show the gap and explain which figure we use to decide.
