How online ads actually work, in plain words

Every platform works on the same basic idea. You tell it who you want to reach. It finds those people and shows them your ad.

๐Ÿ’ก The big secret: a better ad and a better landing page let you beat competitors who simply spend more. That's why we build your system before we spend on ads.
The part most people miss

A click is not a client. What happens next matters most.

Common questions

Straight answers about ads

How much should I spend on ads?

It depends on your city, competition and how many clients you want. After your free audit, I recommend a starting budget based on your market. You stay in control and can change it any time.

Who pays for the ads?

You pay Meta, Google or LinkedIn directly for ad spend. Our fee covers strategy, ad creation, setup, management and reporting.

How soon will I get enquiries?

Ads usually start bringing enquiries within the first couple of weeks. The first month is for testing and learning; results get stronger and cheaper as we improve what works.

I tried ads before and got junk leads. Why would this be different?

Junk leads usually come from weak targeting, a generic page, or no follow-up. We fix your positioning, page and WhatsApp follow-up first, then filter leads with the right questions so you speak to real prospects.

Do I need a website to run ads?

You need a page that builds trust and captures enquiries. If you don't have one, we build it as part of Launchpad or the Growth Engine landing page.
