Performance Marketing

Paid media planned around what a customer is worth to you.

Most ad accounts are optimized toward whatever the platform can see: clicks, form fills, cheap leads. We start from your numbers instead — average job or case value, close rate, capacity — and build channel strategy, budgets and bidding around the cost of a qualified opportunity.

Right for you if

  • Service businesses spending (or ready to spend) a meaningful monthly budget on ads
  • Owners who can't tell which channel actually produces booked work
  • Teams running Google and Meta separately with no shared reporting
01Part of the Attract stage — more visibility and qualified traffic

The problem

What usually goes wrong

01

Budget follows habit, not return

Spend is split across channels by gut feel because nobody can compare them on the same qualified-lead basis.

02

Platforms optimize to the wrong signal

When the only conversion an ad platform sees is a form submission, it learns to find more form-fillers — including the unqualified ones.

03

No one owns the whole picture

Search, social and the website are handled by different people, so problems between them go unnoticed.

What’s included

What Performance Marketing includes

Scope is tailored to your business. These are the components we typically build and manage.

  • Unit economics model

    Target cost per lead, per booked appointment and per customer, derived from your close rates and job values.

  • Channel strategy & budget allocation

    Which channels to run, in what order, with what budget — and the trigger points for changing it.

  • Campaign build & management

    Google, Meta and supporting channels built, launched and actively managed.

  • Qualified-conversion feedback

    Offline and CRM-stage conversions sent back to ad platforms so bidding learns from real outcomes where technically feasible.

  • Creative & landing page testing

    Structured tests on messages, offers and pages — one hypothesis at a time.

  • Monthly performance reviews

    Plain-language reporting tied to leads, appointments and pipeline, with clear next actions.

Common questions

Do you guarantee results?

No. Results depend on your market, offer, capacity and sales process. We commit to a clear plan, honest measurement and disciplined optimization — and we'll tell you early if the numbers don't support spending more.

How soon will we see data we can act on?

Tracking and baseline come first, typically within the first few weeks. Meaningful campaign learning depends on budget and lead volume; we set expectations for your specific account during the audit.
