Meta ads, on Facebook and Instagram

Adverts on Facebook and Instagram, for people who are not looking yet

Google reaches people already searching. Meta ads reach people nearby while they scroll, with your photos and video. We set up your adverts in your own account, count the enquiries properly, and run them for a flat monthly fee.

How it works

Meta shows your adverts to people who have not started looking

Meta owns Facebook and Instagram, so Meta ads are simply Facebook ads and Instagram ads, run from one account. We are based in Wolverhampton, and we can run yours wherever you are in the West Midlands or beyond. Your advert appears in the feed, Stories and Reels of people in the area you choose, filtered by age and interests. You pay mostly for being seen, by the thousand views, and clicks usually cost far less than on Google.

The trade off is that people are scrolling rather than shopping, so fewer of them act straight away. It works best with good photos or short videos, and with something to say: an offer, an opening, an event or a new product.

It also does a different job from Google Ads. Meta shows your work to people near you, they see your name more than once, and when they need what you do, they search for it. Your advert or listing is there when they do. Meta can also show your adverts again to people who have already visited your website or your page.

Why us

The adverts and the counting come from the same two people.

Tommy makes the adverts. Video adverts and artwork are a service of their own here, so the photos and clips you already have get cut and sized properly for the feed, Stories and Reels.

Patrick sets up the account, the audiences and the counting. Webuild websites, so when a result is not being counted properly, we can fix it in the website itself. You deal with the two of us, and everything stays in your own account.

Meta ads

What it costs

One setup, then a flat monthly fee. Every price is fixed before we start.

Your ad budget is paid to Meta directly and is separate from our fees.

  • Meta Ads Management

    £200 to £325a month, up to £1,000 of ad spend

    Above £1,000 a month of ad spend, a fixed monthly fee, quoted for your account. Never a percentage of your spend.

    Monthly, with 30 days notice to stop

    Your adverts looked after every month. People tire of seeing the same advert, so the job is to keep moving the budget towards what works and to replace what has stopped working.

    What is included in the Meta Ads Management
    • Adverts checked, with the budget moved towards the ones that are working
    • Weak adverts paused, and new ones tested against the best
    • New adverts made from the photos and video you send us
    • Audiences reviewed, so you stop paying to reach people who will not buy
    • Budget pacing, so the month's budget lasts the month
    • A plain English report each month: the money spent, the people reached, the enquiries or sales, and what we changed

    If you have a website, your enquiries and sales need counting before we run your adverts.

Your ad budget

You can start from around £5 a day. Below about £10 a day, Meta is best used to make local people know your name. If your whole budget is £300 a month, we usually suggest putting it into Google first.

Give new adverts two to three weeks. Meta needs that long to learn who responds, so the first days are not a fair test. After that it comes down to what you sell, how good the pictures are and what you are offering.

How we charge

Our fee does not go up when your budget does, so we have no reason to push you to spend more. Management is a monthly fee, with no long tie in and 30 days notice to stop. As a guide, £200 a month at around £300 of ad spend, £250 at £600 and £325 at £1,000.

Conversions come first. If you have a website, your enquiries and sales need counting before we run your adverts. If they are not counted yet, the setup does that first. With no website there is nothing to connect, so we report the visits and messages Meta can see. Without that, we would be guessing which adverts bring customers and which only bring likes.

We will not promise a number of enquiries or a return. Nobody honestly can. You see the figures every month, good or bad.

Who this is for

Right for you if

Businesses with something worth looking at, such as food, beauty, events, shops, new openings and offers, and anyone already on Google Ads who wants more local people to know their name.

Probably not us if

You want a guaranteed number of enquiries or a guaranteed return. Nobody can honestly offer those. Or your whole budget is around £300 a month and people already search for what you do: put it into Google first.

A real campaign

What we did for Darya's new single

Darya Frączek is a singer and songwriter in Poland. We ran Facebook and Instagram adverts for her single DULCE, in her own ad account and paid from her own card.

The advert that worked best The music video chorus. The director's own vertical cut of the DULCE music video, directed by Mateusz Bisiorek. We chose it and ran it. It brought 1,541 of the 2,161 visits, 16 to 27 October 2026. Tap the sound button to hear it.

What these figures do not show

A visit is someone opening the Spotify or YouTube page after tapping an advert. It is not a play. Darya's own Spotify figures showed that many of the visits were not turning into plays, and we said so plainly in the first week's report. So we do not claim the adverts grew her streams, her listeners or her followers.

Process

What happens next

  1. A short call

    Twenty minutes about what you sell, where your customers are and what a new customer is worth to you. If Google would suit you better, we will say so.

  2. The setup

    We set up your ad account in your own name, build your audiences and make your first adverts from your photos and video. If you have a website, your conversions are set up too. That is £500, or £300 with no website to connect. It takes 1 to 2 weeks.

  3. Going live

    You check the adverts and add your own card, so you pay Meta directly. Allow two to three weeks at the start for them to gather data.

  4. Management

    We check the adverts, move the budget towards what is working and replace what is not: £200 to £325 a month up to £1,000 of ad spend, and a fixed fee, quoted, above that. You get a plain English report every month, with 30 days notice to stop.

Questions about Meta ads

What is the difference between Google Ads and Meta ads?

Google Ads reach people already searching for what you do. Meta ads reach people on Facebook and Instagram who are not looking yet, in the area you choose. You pay Google mostly per click, and Meta mostly per thousand views. Someone on Google is closer to buying. Someone on Instagram may be seeing you for the first time, so fewer act straight away, and it takes good photos or short video to stop them scrolling.

Which should I start with?

If people already search for what you sell, usually Google, and with around £300 a month in total we would put it there first. Meta suits things people buy with their eyes: food, beauty, events, a new opening or an offer. The two also work well together, because people who have seen your name on Instagram are more likely to recognise it when they search.

Do I need a website?

No. Your adverts can send people to your Instagram or Facebook page, or somewhere else that suits you, as Darya's adverts sent people to Spotify and YouTube. With no website to connect, the setup is £300. If you do have a website, the setup is £500, because we set up conversions so your enquiries and sales are counted.

How much should I spend on the adverts, and who do I pay?

You pay Meta directly, on your own card. None of that money comes to us, and our fee is never a percentage of it. You can start from around £5 a day. Below about £10 a day, Meta is best used to make local people know your name. If your whole budget is £300 a month, we usually suggest putting it into Google first.

Who makes the adverts?

We do. We make your first adverts from your photos and video and write the words, and new ones each month from what you send us. If you want something made from scratch, that is our video adverts service, quoted on its own.

How long before I see results?

Give it two to three weeks before you judge it, because Meta is still learning who responds. After that it comes down to what you sell, how good the pictures are and what you are offering. Nobody can honestly promise a number of enquiries or a return, and we will not. You will see every month what was spent, what it brought in and what we changed.

What happens if I stop working with you?

You keep everything. Your ad account is in your name and paid from your card, so the adverts and everything the account has learned stay yours. Management is monthly, with 30 days notice to stop.

Do you run TikTok adverts too?

No. We make video for TikTok, and you run those adverts on your own account.

We work face to face across Wolverhampton and the West Midlands, and remotely with businesses anywhere in England. Running your adverts needs only access to your accounts and your website, so it works the same wherever you are.

What is it about? tick anything that applies

We use your details to reply to your enquiry, prepare your free concept and quote for the work. We do not sell them or use them for marketing, and we only share them with the services that run our business. The one exception is the optional box about Google adverts: if you tick it, Google gets only what the box describes, never your name, email, phone number or message. Privacy policy
