What changes when paid social advertising is handled properly

Where you are nowWhat we put in place
You suspect paid Social Advertising matters for your business but nobody internally owns it, so it moves only when someone finds spare timeAudience and offer testing
You have paid for paid Social Advertising before and received activity reports rather than an explanation of what it earnedCreative iteration cycles
Your competitors are visibly ahead on paid Social Advertising and the gap widens every quarter you leave itCost per enquiry targets
You can see the enquiries you get, but not the enquiries you are missing because paid Social Advertising is not being handledAudience and offer testing

Scope, in detail

Audience and offer testingWe start here because audience and offer testing is usually where the gap between what your site could earn and what it does earn is widest. Your account manager agrees the scope with you before any work begins, so you always know what is being changed and why.
Creative iteration cyclesCreative iteration cycles is handled by the specialist who does this work every day, not by a generalist working from a checklist. You see the plan, the change and the result of the change in your workspace rather than in a slide at the end of the quarter.
Cost per enquiry targetsNothing here is delivered in isolation. Cost per enquiry targets is sequenced against the rest of your plan so paid Social Advertising supports paid, lifecycle and conversion work instead of competing with it for the same budget.

Delivery schedule

  1. Week one: audit and baseline

    We audit the current state of paid Social Advertising, record a baseline for every measure we intend to move and agree what a good ninety days looks like in writing. Without a baseline, nobody can honestly claim an improvement later.

  2. Weeks two and three: first changes shipped

    The highest impact items go live first, starting with audience and offer testing. You approve anything that touches your brand or your customers before it ships.

  3. Weeks four to eight: build and test

    Creative iteration cycles is delivered and tested, with results reviewed against the baseline every fortnight instead of at month end when it is too late to react.

  4. Weeks nine to twelve: compound and review

    We consolidate what worked, retire what did not and present the ninety day review. If the agreed measures have not moved, our guarantee applies and you can ask for your money back.

Answers

Questions about paid social advertising

Can I buy paid Social Advertising on its own

Paid Social Advertising is delivered inside a monthly subscription rather than as a standalone project, because it performs better when it is planned alongside your other channels. Your plan sets how much of the monthly capacity goes to paid Social Advertising, and that split can change as priorities change.

How quickly does paid Social Advertising show results

You will see delivery inside the first fortnight and measurable movement inside ninety days. That is the window our guarantee covers. Some parts of social media compound for longer, which we will say plainly rather than promising everything at once.

Who actually does the paid Social Advertising work

A specialist in social media employed by us, directed by your named account manager. Nothing is passed to an offshore subcontractor and nothing is generated and published without a human reviewing it.

What do you need from us

Access to the relevant systems, one decision maker who can approve work, and about an hour a month for the review. Slow approvals are the single most common reason paid Social Advertising underperforms, so we agree turnaround expectations up front.

What happens if paid Social Advertising does not work

We commit to growth within ninety days or your money back, and the measures are agreed with you in week one rather than chosen afterwards. If we miss, you can claim under the guarantee or move your capacity to a channel with a better chance.
