This is how the work runs once we start. ### Your team A media buyer runs your account and works with our designers on the ads. You always know who to ask. ### The first month We review your accounts, write a plan with targets, and set up campaigns, tracking pixels and product feeds. ### Monthly cycle Every month we optimise, test new ads, move budget to what works, report and plan the next content with you. ### Reporting We report against your agreed target, such as sales, contribution margin or qualified leads. ### Creatives Ads designed for each format, and the same idea reworked for other platforms. The scope is agreed with you up front. ### Your own team Many clients have their own marketers or another agency. We agree at the start who does what. ### Channels ### Google Ads Search and Shopping campaigns, with Microsoft Ads as an option. [Google Ads →](https://generogrowth.com/google-ads-services/) ### Paid social Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest, from strategy to pixel and catalogue upkeep. [Paid social →](https://generogrowth.com/paid-social-ad-creative/) ### ChatGPT ads We check if the channel fits you, plan the campaign and guide your setup. [Ads in ChatGPT →](https://generogrowth.com/chatgpt-ads-eng/) Book a free intro call ## How we get started 1\. ### Free intro call We go through your goals, channels and budget, and tell you where we would start. If it helps, we may suggest looking at one of your ad accounts first. 2\. ### Quote and plan You get a proposal with the scope, our fee and the expected media and creative costs, shown separately. 3\. ### First month Audit, plan, setup and the first ads. After that the monthly cycle starts. Book a free intro call ## Questions before you start How much does paid media cost? The cost has three parts, shown separately: our monthly fee, which depends on the channels and scope; your media spend, the budget that goes to the ad platforms; and creative production, agreed per need. You get a quote after the intro call. Is there a minimum media budget? We don’t have a fixed minimum. In the intro call we tell you whether your budget fits the channels you are considering, or where it makes sense to start with less. Can you take over our existing campaigns? Yes. We start by going through your current accounts, keep what works and fix the rest step by step. Can I start with one channel? Yes. One account, such as Google Ads or Meta, is a common place to start. You can add channels later. Do you also make the ads? Yes. Our designers make ads for each format, such as short videos and feed ads, and rework the same idea for other platforms. What happens in the free intro call? A paid media specialist goes through your goals, channels and budget with you, and tells you where we would start and how the work would be priced. The call does not commit you to anything. ## Book a free intro call Tell us what you would like to improve. A paid media specialist gets back to you to book the call. In the call we: - Go through your goals, channels and budget. - Tell you where we would start. - Explain how the work would be priced for you.
