PERFORMANCE MARKETING
Performance Marketing
Meta, Google & YouTube Ads
Meta, Google and YouTube ads run against pipeline and ROAS rather than impressions. We fix conversion tracking before touching a bid, because spend you cannot measure cannot be optimised.
Overview
We manage paid acquisition end to end: account structure, creative production and testing, landing pages, conversion tracking, and reporting that reconciles platform numbers against what actually reached your CRM. Most accounts we inherit are not losing money on bidding. They are losing it because conversions fire on page loads, budget is sliced across a dozen ad sets that each see two conversions a week, and nobody has checked whether the leads closed. Measurement gets fixed first, spend gets consolidated until the algorithm has enough signal to learn from, then we scale only what proves out.
Tracking before spend
Server-side events, offline conversion imports and CRM reconciliation go in before we touch a bid, so optimisation runs on real outcomes instead of page views.
Consolidated, learnable structure
Fewer campaigns each carrying enough weekly conversions to exit the learning phase, rather than budget spread too thin to teach the platform anything.
Lead quality fed back in
Qualified and closed-won leads are pushed back to Meta and Google so the auction bids toward buyers, not toward whoever fills a form fastest.
What you get
- Conversion tracking you can audit line by line
- Cost per qualified lead, not cost per form fill
- Weekly creative testing in English, Hinglish and regional language
- Landing pages built for the ad, not the homepage
- Reporting reconciled against CRM entries and invoices
- An honest call when budget is too thin to optimise
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum monthly budget for performance marketing to work?
Enough to generate roughly 30 to 50 conversions a month per campaign you want optimised, which is where Meta's and Google's learning phases tend to stabilise. Work backwards from your cost per lead: at ₹300 a lead that is around ₹15,000 of media per campaign, at ₹3,000 it is ten times that. Below that threshold results swing on chance rather than optimisation, and a bad month tells you nothing you can act on. When budget is tight we would rather concentrate it behind one channel and one offer than run Meta, Google and YouTube at once and half-learn all three.
Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?
No. Ad spend sits on your own card and account so you own the billing trail and the data, and our fee is quoted separately for the work involved. Percentage-of-spend pricing rewards an agency for spending more, which is the opposite of what performance marketing should reward. Engagements run as Starter for a single project, Growth as a monthly retainer, or Enterprise per engagement, and each one is priced after we look at your category, funnel and volume. GST applies on our fee as per rules.
Should we start with Meta ads or Google ads?
It depends on whether people already search for what you sell. If they type "CCTV installation Bhubaneswar" into Google, start with Search, because the intent exists and volume is predictable. If the category is new or impulse-led, start with Meta, where creative has to create the demand. For most Indian service businesses that means Google for the bottom of the funnel and Meta for volume, with YouTube added only after a creative already works on Meta. We also keep Performance Max on a short leash until Search is clean, since it will happily take credit for brand searches you were already winning.
Why do our Meta leads look cheap but never close?
Because instant forms remove friction on both sides. Meta optimises toward whoever submits fastest, and if you never send back which of those leads was qualified, it keeps finding that same profile. A low cost per lead with a poor close rate is usually a tracking problem, not a sales problem. The fixes are unglamorous: add one or two qualifying questions, route leads into WhatsApp within minutes while intent is warm, and import qualified and closed-won status back as offline conversions. Cost per lead normally rises after this. Cost per customer is the number we watch instead.
Can you guarantee a ROAS or a number of leads?
No, and anyone who does is quoting a number they do not control. Auction prices, your offer, your close rate and your competitors all move independently of us. What we commit to is a measurement setup you can audit, a testing cadence you can see, and a clear read on what the data supports. Expect four to six weeks before trends are worth acting on, and longer for high-ticket B2B with a slow sales cycle. Once the data is clean we will forecast a range from your own account, and say plainly if the maths does not work at your current margin.
Do we keep access to the ad accounts if we stop working with you?
Yes. Accounts, pixels, conversion actions and creative assets are set up inside your Meta Business Manager and your Google Ads account, with us added as a partner. If the engagement ends we remove our access and everything stays with you, including historical data and accumulated learnings. Agencies that build campaigns inside their own account effectively hold your history hostage, and losing years of conversion data is a real switching cost. It is worth confirming this in writing before you sign with anyone, us included.
