Social Media Advertising

Paid social campaigns measured in leads and sales, not likes

Boosting posts is not advertising. Real paid social means the right audiences, creative built for the feed, landing pages that match and tracking that tells you what each lead cost. We run it on Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn with weekly optimization and a monthly report.

Where paid social earns its budget

Social ads reach people who are not searching for you yet. That is their strength and their trap. Done well, they put your offer in front of the exact people most likely to need it, warm them up and bring them back until they act. Done badly, they buy attention from everyone and conversions from no one.

Our campaigns start with the audience: your customer list, your website visitors, lookalikes built from your best buyers, interests and locations that match how you sell. Creative is made for the feed, tested in several versions and refreshed before it wears out. Every ad lands on a page built for it, and every call, form and purchase is tracked back to the ad that produced it.

On a retail account, 97 days of audience and creative tuning lifted link clicks 212.8% and click-through rate 55.2% while every click stayed under 60 cents.

How we run campaigns

Audience first, then creative, then the budget

A social campaign is only as good as who sees it. We build audiences from your customer list, your website visitors and lookalikes of your best buyers before we write a single ad, then layer in interests and locations that match how you sell.

Creative is tested in small sets: three or four versions of the image and copy, a week of data, keep the winner, test again. Budget follows the ads that convert, not the ones that get likes.

Reporting shows cost per lead and cost per sale, not reach. Management is a flat monthly rate, never a percentage of your ad spend, so our incentive is your return.

FAQ

Straight answers before you call.

Anything else? (970) 399-9004 reaches a person in Fort Collins, not a call center.

How much should I spend on social ads?

Enough to get statistically useful data, which for most local businesses starts around a few hundred dollars a week per campaign. We recommend a starting budget after a call and scale what works.

What is your management fee?

A flat monthly rate based on the number of platforms and campaigns, agreed up front. It does not change with your ad spend and there is no contract.

Do you make the ads?

Yes. Static, carousel and video creative is designed and written by our team in your brand, with several variants to test.

How do you track leads from social ads?

Pixel and conversions API on your site, standard events for forms, calls, purchases and bookings, and UTM tracking into Google Analytics 4. You see cost per lead, not just clicks.

Which platform is best for my business?

Facebook and Instagram for most local and retail businesses, TikTok for younger consumer audiences and visual products, LinkedIn for B2B and professional services. We often start on one and expand.

How quickly will I see results?

Clicks and engagement immediately. Reliable cost per lead takes two to four weeks of data and testing. Results compound as audiences and creative are refined.
