Frequently Asked Questions

Budget depends heavily on your industry, goals, competition, and target locations. We start by understanding your objectives and recommend a cost-effective starting budget focused on delivering measurable results. We emphasize transparency and focus on maximizing your Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), whether you're starting small or scaling up.

The 'best' platforms depend on where your target audience spends their time and your campaign goals. Google Ads is excellent for capturing intent (people searching for solutions), while social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) are great for targeted audience building and engagement. We provide bespoke strategies, recommending the optimal mix for your specific needs.

You can start seeing traffic and potentially leads/sales within days of launching a well-structured PPC campaign. However, optimizing for peak performance and achieving significant ROI takes time. We typically see meaningful data-driven insights and performance trends emerge within the first 1-3 months as we test, learn, and refine.

Think of it like this: PPC (Paid Ads) buys you immediate visibility at the top of search results or on social feeds, paying per click or impression. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) earns you organic (free) visibility over time by optimizing your website content and authority. They work best together – PPC provides quick wins and data, while SEO builds long-term, sustainable traffic.

Yes, we leverage AI-driven insights responsibly within platforms like Google Ads and Meta Ads for tasks like bid optimization, audience segmentation, and predictive analytics. However, human expertise remains crucial for strategic direction, creative development, and interpreting complex data. We combine the best of both worlds.

Success is measured against your specific business goals. Key metrics often include Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), conversion rates, click-through rates (CTR), and overall lead/sales volume. We provide transparent reporting that clearly demonstrates campaign performance and its impact on your bottom line.
