Social Media Advertising

Social Media Advertising That Turns Scrolls into Sales

Search ads capture demand that already exists. Social ads create it - putting your offer in front of the right people before they ever search. For restaurants, local services, and e-commerce brands, that's often the cheapest attention available.

We run paid social the same way we run Google Ads: conversion tracking first, disciplined creative testing, and budgets that shift toward what actually produces leads and orders. No vanity metrics, no 'brand awareness' hand-waving.

What is social media advertising?

Social media advertising is paid promotion on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok - using demographic, interest, and behavioral targeting plus retargeting to put offers in front of likely buyers and drive measurable leads, orders, and sales.

TikTok

Short-video ads for offers with broad appeal - restaurants, experiences, retail. Raw phone footage of your real work is exactly the format TikTok rewards, and we handle the targeting, copy, and optimization around it.

Sound-on attention

Creative Testing

On social, the creative is the targeting. We run structured tests across hooks, angles, and formats with enough budget per variation to learn quickly - losers get cut fast, winners get the budget.

How we work

  1. Offer & audience strategy

    We define exactly who you're targeting and what offer earns their click, then pick the platform to match - Meta for most local businesses, TikTok where short video fits.

  2. Ads & tracking build

    Your real photos and videos get paired with our copy and formats - authentic beats stock on social - and pixel tracking is tested before a dollar is spent.

  3. Launch & test

    Launch runs as a controlled experiment: creative angles and audiences tested side by side, winners promoted, losers cut without sentiment.

  4. Scale & retarget

    Proven creative scales to new audiences while retargeting closes the warm ones who didn't convert the first time - measured in leads and sales, never likes.

Paid Social Results Timeline

How long until you see real results?

Expect the first 2-4 weeks to be a learning period while creative tests run and the algorithm optimizes - cost per lead typically stabilizes in the second month and compounds from there.

We take the photos and videos you provide, pair them with tested copy and hooks, build landing pages and pixel + conversions-API tracking, then launch structured tests across audiences and angles. Ads deliver within days - the goal of month one is finding what converts.

FAQ

Social Media Advertising FAQs

The questions business owners ask us most.

How much should I spend on social media ads?

Most of our clients start between $1,000 and $3,000 per month in ad spend - enough to test several creatives and audiences and reach statistical significance. Our management plans start at $750/month, and ad spend is always paid directly to the platform by you.

Google Ads or social media ads - which is better?

They do different jobs. Google Ads captures people actively searching for what you sell; social ads create demand and keep you in front of people who aren't searching yet. High-intent services usually start with Google; visual products, restaurants, and offers with broad appeal often win on social. Many clients run both, with retargeting connecting them.

Which platforms do you manage?

Primarily Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok. We recommend platforms based on where your customers actually spend time - not on what's trendy.

Do I need to provide the photos and videos?

Yes. We don't shoot or edit video and photo content - you provide the pictures and videos of your business (raw phone content works great), and we handle everything else: ad copy, headlines, audience targeting, campaign structure, testing, and optimization. Authentic content from your phone regularly outperforms polished studio footage on social.

Do you handle social media posting too?

On the full-service plan, yes - we handle daily posting to your social profiles alongside the ad campaigns, using the photos and videos you supply. On the starter plan we manage the paid campaigns only.

How fast will I see results from social ads?

Ads start delivering within days of launch, but expect the first 2-4 weeks to be a learning period while creative tests run and the algorithm optimizes. Cost per lead typically stabilizes in the second month.
