How much should I budget for Meta Ads?
Most of our SA clients start with R2,000–R8,000 per month in ad spend, scaling up as results improve. Meta can work with smaller budgets than Google Ads, but we recommend at least R2,000/month to generate meaningful data and leads. We'll recommend the right starting budget for your industry during your free strategy call.
What's the difference between Facebook Ads and Instagram Ads?
They're both managed through the same Meta Ads platform, so we run campaigns across both simultaneously. Facebook tends to work better for older demographics and lead generation forms. Instagram performs better for visual products and younger audiences. We test both and put more budget into whatever delivers the best results for your business.
Do you provide the ad creative and images?
Yes — ad copy and creative concepts are included in our management fee. We design ad images and write the copy. For best results, we recommend using real photos of your product, service, or team — stock photos rarely perform as well. If you have photos, share them with us. If not, we'll work with what we have.
How long before I see results from Meta Ads?
Meta Ads typically need a 2–4 week learning period as the algorithm optimises. You'll usually see initial leads within the first week, but the real results come after the algorithm has gathered enough data. By month 2–3, campaigns are usually performing significantly better than month 1 as we optimise based on real data.
What types of businesses work best with Meta Ads?
Meta Ads works best for businesses with a visual product or service, a clear target audience, and a defined lead value. Great fits include home services, beauty and wellness, fitness, real estate, events, restaurants, education, and e-commerce. We'll tell you honestly on the call if we don't think it's a good fit — we'd rather lose a client than waste your money.
Should I run Google Ads and Meta Ads together?
For most businesses, running both together is the most powerful combination. Google captures high-intent buyers who are actively searching. Meta builds demand and keeps your brand visible to your ideal audience. Together, they cover the full customer journey — from awareness to conversion. We can manage both for you under one roof.
