Facebook and Instagram ads built around buyer intent, not just budget.
Most Meta ad accounts burn money on broad targeting and vanity metrics. I build campaigns around the actual customer journey, from cold audiences who've never heard of you to warm ones ready to buy, with reporting that tells you what happened and why.
Meta Ads is a newer part of what I offer, alongside SEO and AI search work I've been doing with real, documented results for years. I don't have Meta Ads case studies to show you yet. What I do have is a real understanding of how the platform's auction, targeting, and creative testing actually work, and I'd rather tell you that honestly than pretend otherwise. If proven ad results specifically are the deciding factor for you right now, I'll say so directly instead of oversell.
The same three mistakes, over and over
Not because Meta's ad platform is bad. Because most accounts are set up without a real strategy behind them.
No funnel structure
Cold, warm, and hot audiences all get the same ad and the same message. Someone who's never heard of you gets treated the same as someone who already visited your site three times.
Creative that isn't actually tested
One or two ad variations running for weeks with no structured testing means you never actually learn what your audience responds to.
Reports full of reach, not results
Impressions and reach look impressive in a report. They don't tell you whether the spend actually turned into leads or sales.
A full Meta Ads engagement, not just campaign setup
Campaign Strategy & Setup
Account structure built around your actual funnel, not a generic template. Objective, budget, and targeting decisions tied to what you're actually trying to achieve.
Creative Strategy
Ad creative direction and structured testing across formats, hooks, and angles, so you learn what actually resonates instead of guessing.
Audience & Targeting
Custom and lookalike audiences built from your real customer data, not just Meta's broad interest categories.
Retargeting Funnels
Structured retargeting for people who've engaged but haven't converted, the highest-intent audience most accounts leave on the table.
Pixel & Conversion Tracking
Proper Meta Pixel and Conversions API setup so your data is actually accurate, not silently broken from a browser update or missing event.
Reporting You Can Actually Read
Monthly reporting focused on cost per result and return, in plain language, not a wall of metrics with no explanation.
Built around where someone actually is in their decision
One ad for everyone wastes budget. Real funnel structure means the right message reaches the right audience at the right stage.
People who've never heard of you
Broader targeting, awareness-focused creative, built to introduce your brand and earn the first engagement, not push for an immediate sale.
People who've engaged but haven't converted
Retargeting audiences from website visitors, video viewers, and social engagers, with creative that addresses hesitation and moves them closer to a decision.
People ready to buy
Cart abandoners, high-intent page visitors, and past customers, targeted with direct, conversion-focused creative and often a clear reason to act now.
The honest difference in how I run ad accounts
- Vanity metrics reported as if they're results (reach, impressions with no context)
- Locking you into a long contract before results are proven
- One ad running for months with no structured testing
- Vague monthly updates with no real explanation of what happened
- Ignoring your organic SEO and search presence while only focused on paid spend
- Cost per result and return reported clearly, in plain language
- Month-to-month, no long lock-in while the account is still being proven out
- Structured creative testing so you learn what actually works
- Reporting that explains what changed and why, not just numbers
- Paid and organic working together, since I do both, not treated as separate silos
A clear, honest process from day one
Account audit
If you already run ads, I review your current account structure, pixel setup, and past performance before recommending anything.
Funnel & tracking setup
Proper pixel and conversion tracking implemented first, so every decision after this point is based on accurate data.
Campaign launch & testing
Campaigns launched with structured creative testing across the funnel stages, not a single ad set running blind.
Optimize & report
Ongoing optimization based on real performance data, with monthly reporting that explains what's working and what's changing next.
The kind of reporting you get every month
Questions people ask
Not yet, and I'd rather tell you that directly than dress it up. What I do have is real, documented SEO and organic search results across 8+ niches, and a genuine understanding of how Meta's ad platform actually works. If proven ad-specific case studies are essential for you right now, I understand, and I'd rather you know that upfront than find out later.
This depends on your industry and cost per result, but generally you need enough daily budget for the algorithm to actually gather data and optimize, which usually means at least a few dozen conversions per month across your campaigns. I'll give you a straight answer on whether your specific budget makes sense once I know your numbers.
Both, and that's actually an advantage. Paid ads can drive traffic quickly while organic SEO builds sustainably in the background. Running both together means your landing pages, tracking, and overall strategy stay consistent instead of being handled by two disconnected providers.
Unlike SEO, paid ads can generate traffic and leads immediately once campaigns go live. But the account needs time, usually 2 to 4 weeks, to gather enough data for Meta's algorithm to optimize properly. Early results in week one are rarely representative of what the account will do once it's had time to learn.
No lock-in contract. This matters even more for a newer service offering like Meta Ads, since you should be able to evaluate real results before committing long-term.
