Meta Ads management, with the creative that makes it work

On Meta the creative is the targeting. Media buying decides how fast you find out which creative works — it does not decide whether any of it does.

DIAGNOSIS

Where Meta accounts actually leak money

These are the four findings that come up most often in our Meta Ads audits. If two of them apply to you, there is money on the table.

01

Pixel and CAPI double-counting

Events sent both ways without deduplication. Reported ROAS looks strong, actual revenue does not move.

02

One creative per ad set

No volume means no learning. The algorithm needs options before it can find a winner.

03

Boosted posts treated as campaigns

Optimised for engagement, reported as marketing. They buy likes, not customers.

04

Retargeting one blanket audience

A cart abandoner and someone who watched 3 seconds of a Reel treated identically.

CAMPAIGN TYPES

Formats, and what each one is actually for

Advantage+ Shopping

Automated catalogue campaigns with creative-level reporting so you can still tell what worked.

Reels & Video

Vertical-first, cut for sound-off viewing, hooks tested in the first 1.5 seconds.

Catalogue & DPA

Dynamic product ads on a deduplicated feed with availability and price rules that hold.

Lead Generation

Instant forms with qualification questions that filter rather than just capture.

Retargeting

Segmented by engagement depth and recency, with exclusion windows set from your real sales cycle.

Story Ads

Full-screen placements designed for Stories, not cropped from a square.

Carousel & Collection

Multi-product storytelling for considered purchases and higher basket values.

Click-to-WhatsApp

Conversation-first campaigns where the sale needs a human, common in your non-US markets.

METHOD

How we run a Meta account

Creative in batches

New concepts produced on a fixed cycle and tested in structured batches, not one ad at a time.

Deduplicated CAPI

Server events with matched event IDs, monitored for match quality rather than set once and forgotten.

Hook-level analysis

Reporting at the hook and format level, so you learn what to make next rather than just what won.

Incrementality checks

Geo holdouts on the larger accounts, because platform-reported ROAS always flatters itself.

REPORTING

What we measure, and what we ignore

Visible in your dashboard continuously, not summarised once a month.

CPA By funnel stage

Meta Ads questions

Do you produce the creative?

Yes, and it is included. Static, video and copy on a fixed monthly cycle. Meta without creative production is media buying with one hand tied.

How many ads do you test?

Enough for the result to mean something — typically 20–40 assets a month on a Growth account, in structured batches rather than ad hoc.

Our account keeps getting restricted.

Usually a policy issue in creative or landing page, occasionally a business verification gap. The audit identifies which, and we work within the rules rather than around them.

Is Advantage+ worth it?

For e-commerce with a healthy catalogue, often yes. For lead generation it is usually worse than a structured manual campaign. It depends on your data volume, and we will tell you which side you are on.
