Performance marketing

Every platform will take your budget. We make each one earn it back.

Google captures the buyers already searching, Meta and WhatsApp create new ones, and creative decides who stops scrolling. We run all of it as one engine, measured on one number: revenue in your CRM. Not clicks, not reach, and not each platform’s own report.

The short answer

What does a performance marketing agency do?

A performance marketing agency runs your paid ads, on Google, Meta, TikTok and WhatsApp, and is judged on the customers and revenue they bring in, not on clicks or impressions. The work covers which channels to use, the campaigns and audiences, the creative, the tracking that ties each sale to an ad, and the weekly decisions on where the budget goes.

Agencies differ mostly in what they measure. We connect the ads to the sales in your CRM, so the budget follows the campaigns that actually earn.

Channels
Google for people searching now, Meta and TikTok to create demand, WhatsApp to close.
Tracking
Every sale traced back to the ad that started it.
Creative
New ads tested every week, the winners scaled.
Judged on
Customers and revenue, not clicks.
Channels

One engine, every channel that sells.

Each channel has its own job. We run them together, so the budget follows whichever one is producing customers this week.

  • Google Ads

    Capture the buyers already searching for what you sell, without paying for the ones who would have found you anyway.

  • Meta Ads

    Create demand on Facebook and Instagram, with the signal and the creative Meta needs to find buyers, not browsers.

  • Click-to-WhatsApp Ads System

    Ads that open a conversation, answered in minutes, followed up, and traced to the sale in your CRM.

  • Performance Creative

    New ads every week, built from what the data says is working, so every channel has something new to test.

Where the budget goes

Six places your ad budget quietly leaks.

Across 200+ brands, the same six leaks show up whatever the platform. None of them appear in the platforms’ own recommendations, because every one of them spends more of your money.

Platforms that can’t see your sales

What’s happening

Google and Meta only learn from what you send them. If that’s clicks and form fills, they find more of those, not buyers.

Check it yourself30 sec

Look at the conversions your ads optimise on. Are they sales from your CRM, or clicks and form fills?

How we fix it

Sales from your CRM sent back to every platform.

FAQ

Before you book the audit

What does a performance marketing agency actually do?

We run your paid acquisition day to day: Google Ads, Meta and Click-to-WhatsApp campaigns, the tracking behind them, the creative and the budgets. The difference is what we are measured on. We connect your CRM so every platform learns from the customers who paid, and we report in revenue rather than clicks or reach.

Which channels should my business be on?

Usually two to start. Google captures the people already searching for what you sell; Meta and Click-to-WhatsApp create demand among people who aren’t searching yet. The audit shows which one is producing customers for you today, and where your next dollar should go.

How is your audit different from the one every agency offers?

It’s done by the senior operator who would run your account, not a sales team, and it’s measured against revenue rather than each platform’s own scores. In 5 working days you get a leak report, a tracking check, a channel read and a 90-day plan, walked through on a 30-minute call. You keep it whatever you decide.

What does it cost?

The audit comes with no commitment. If we work together, the ads run on flat monthly plans sized to your ad spend, plus a one-off setup. Every plan and price is on our pricing page.

Do you make the creative too?

Yes. Our performance creative team writes, designs and edits new ads every week, built from what the data says is working, so every channel always has something new to test. If you have an in-house team, we brief them from the winning patterns instead.

How quickly will I see results?

Tracking fixes and structural changes usually show up in cost per result within the first few weeks. Bidding on revenue and finding winning creative take a few rounds of data, so expect four to eight weeks before the accounts are compounding.

We already have an agency or an in-house team. Can you still help?

Yes. Plenty of clients start with the audit as a second opinion on accounts someone else runs. From there we can take the accounts over, or work alongside your team on tracking, creative and strategy.

Do I keep my ad accounts and data?

Always. We work inside your Google, Meta and WhatsApp accounts with the access you grant, and the accounts, pixels, audiences and data stay yours if we ever part ways.
