Why most Meta campaigns fall flat

It is almost always the targeting when actually it is the creative and offer.

Meta's algorithm is so good at finding buyers that the only things that really matter are the hook in the first second and the offer in the last second.

Boring scroll-past creative

If your ad does not stop the thumb in 1.5 seconds, the rest does not matter. We brief and edit UGC-style creative, working with whatever you can supply or with a NZ creator we partner with.

No real offer

Boosting a post that says 'follow us' is not an offer. We build lead magnets and call-to-action funnels that give people a reason to click right now.

No retargeting

95% of people will not buy on the first ad. We layer retargeting on top of cold traffic so you stay in front of warm leads until they convert.

How we run Meta Ads

A boring, repeatable system. That is the whole secret.

No magic, no hacks, no growth-hacker theatre. Just the same three steps, run properly, every month.

01

Build the offer and creative

We script 3 to 6 angles, design the static creative or edit footage you supply, set up pixels and lead capture. No spend until tracking is verified.

02

Launch and learn fast

Cold traffic to a tight lead funnel. Tested by angle, audience and placement. We kill losers fast and double down on winners.

03

Layer in retargeting

Warm audiences see different creative. Pixel-based, engagement-based, and lookalike audiences run in parallel for compounding results.

30 DAY
Deliverables guarantee, in writing
Deliverables, no quibbles

Not happy in the first 30 days? Management fees back.

Meta is fast feedback. If we have not earned our keep in the first month, management fees come back. Ad spend goes direct to Meta and is yours.

What it is

Meta Ads Management, in plain English

Meta ads (Facebook + Instagram) are unbeatable for getting in front of people before they're searching. A salon doesn't wait until someone Googles 'haircut Auckland' they put a great offer in front of every woman 25-55 in their suburb. We build the offer, the creative, and the targeting that actually converts.

Who it's for

Visual businesses (beauty, food, fitness, retail), local service businesses with a strong offer, and anyone with a small budget who wants to test something fast. If you've ever pressed the boost button and got 4 likes you specifically.

What you get

  • Offer crafted to be impossible to scroll past
  • 3-5 ad creatives (image + copy) we test against each other
  • Audiences built for your suburbs + ideal customer
  • Pixel + conversion API set up so Meta learns who buys
  • Lead form or calendar booking direct path to booking
  • Weekly optimisation so cost-per-lead drops over time

Common Questions

Everything you wanted to ask about Meta Ads (but didn't)

What is the difference between boosting a post and proper Meta Ads? +

Boosting sprays your money at your existing followers. Proper ads use Business Manager, custom audiences, pixel tracking and A/B-tested creatives to reach people who have never heard of you but match your ideal customer profile.

How much do I need to spend on Meta Ads? +

We recommend at least $500 NZD per month in ad spend. The more you put in, the faster the algorithm finds your best audience.

Does Meta Ads work for tradies? +

Sometimes, but it is better suited to visual businesses like beauty, food, fitness and retail. For tradies, Google Ads or local SEO usually beats Meta. We will tell you which is better for your specific business on the strategy call.

How do you know who to target? +

We build custom audiences based on your existing customers, website visitors (via pixel) and lookalike audiences. Then we test and eliminate until we find what works.

Do you make the ad creative? +

Yes. We write the copy and build the static image ads. We will need your brand assets and photos. If you do not have good photos, we can advise on how to get them.

What does good Meta Ads performance look like? +

It depends on your industry and offer. We set clear cost-per-lead targets on the strategy call before we spend a dollar.
