What is paid ads management?

Paid ads management is the build, testing and optimisation of Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns around cost per acquisition. It suits businesses whose ad spend isn't turning into pipeline. The price is €500 setup + 20% of ad spend — €750/mo minimum, ad spend billed directly at cost. We audit, build, launch, optimise and report monthly.

Why clicks aren't the goal

Booked calls and closed deals are the goal, not clicks and impressions. Every campaign is built and reported around one number: what it costs you to acquire a customer, and whether that number is going down.

How it's billed

  • →Ad spend at cost. You pay the platforms directly. We add nothing to it.
  • →Management fee: 20% of ad spend. Covers campaign build, testing, optimisation, and reporting.
  • →A €750/mo minimum management fee applies — you pay the greater of that or 20% of ad spend.
  • →Setup fee: €500 one-off setup. Building and instrumenting campaigns and tracking before anything goes live.

You hold the platform accounts and see the invoices directly — the spend figure is never something you have to take on faith.

Investment benchmarks

Illustrative monthly ad spend ranges, so you can self-qualify before we talk numbers. The 20% management fee and one-off setup apply the same way at every level. These bands describe spend, not a flat retainer.

BandTypical Monthly Ad SpendManagement Fee
GrowthAround €4,000/mo in ad spend — typically one or two channels, single core offer.20% (≈€800/mo)
ScaleAround €5,000/mo in ad spend — multi-channel, structured testing across offers.20% (≈€1,000/mo)
Enterprise€7,500/mo+ in ad spend — multi-location or multi-product accounts.20% (≈€1,500/mo+)
Note: These bands are illustrative planning ranges, not fixed packages — your actual spend and fee are set during the audit, based on your real funnel and goals.

How the process works

  1. Audit & account structure. We review existing campaigns (or build from zero), fix tracking gaps, and structure accounts around your actual sales process.
  2. Campaign build & creative. Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns with structured A/B testing on offer, audience and creative, so budget moves towards what's proven.
  3. Launch & optimise. Live campaigns monitored and adjusted against cost-per-acquisition targets, not just click-through rate.
  4. Report on what matters. Monthly reporting on spend, cost per lead, cost per acquisition and pipeline impact.

Common Questions

Do you mark up ad spend?

No. You pay the platforms directly at cost — our fee is 20% of that spend, billed separately, with the invoices visible to you the whole time.

Is there a minimum ad spend?

Not for ad spend: spend levels are scoped during the audit, and the investment benchmarks above are a planning guide, not a hard minimum. The management fee itself does have a floor: €750/mo, or 20% of ad spend, whichever is greater.

Which platforms do you run?

Google, Meta, and LinkedIn — selected based on where your actual buyers are, not run across all three by default.

How is success measured?

Cost per acquisition and pipeline impact first — click-through rate and reach are diagnostic numbers, not the report.

What happens after someone clicks the ad?

Lead Generation takes over. Funnels, landing pages, qualification and tracking after the click live on that service, so the two work together without duplicating each other.

Do I own the ad accounts?

Yes — accounts are set up under your ownership from day one, so nothing is held hostage if the engagement ends.
