Campaign Types

Meta Ads Services
We Provide

Every campaign type serves a specific purpose in the funnel. We select and manage the right formats for your business goals.

01 Facebook Ads

Campaigns across Facebook's feed, stories, and reels — targeting based on interests, behaviours, demographics, and custom audiences built from your existing customer data. Feed ads for direct response; video ads for awareness and engagement at scale across India's largest social platform.

Feed Ads Video Ads Story Ads Reel Ads
02 Instagram Ads

Visual-first campaigns optimised for Instagram's feed, stories, and reels placements. Creative formats, dimensions, and copy are adapted for each placement's user behaviour — not just repurposed from Facebook. Particularly effective for e-commerce, lifestyle, and consumer brands in India.

Feed Ads Reels Ads Story Ads Shopping Ads
03 Retargeting Campaigns

Re-engage users who have visited your website, viewed specific product pages, added items to cart, or interacted with your previous ads — with messaging specifically tailored to where they are in the buying process. Retargeting is often the highest-ROAS campaign type and should always be running.

Website Visitors Cart Abandoners Video Viewers Engagers
04 Lead Generation Campaigns

Instant form and landing page campaigns designed to capture qualified leads at scale — without the user needing to leave the platform. Forms pre-populate with profile data for higher completion rates. Integrated with CRM or email tools for immediate follow-up workflows.

Instant Forms CRM Integration Landing Pages B2B & B2C
05 E-commerce Campaigns

Dynamic product ads, catalogue sales campaigns, and conversion-optimised campaigns for online retailers. Dynamic ads automatically show users the most relevant products based on their browsing behaviour — dramatically improving relevance and ROAS for Indian e-commerce brands.

Dynamic Product Ads Catalogue Sales ROAS Optimisation Purchase Campaigns
06 Creative Testing

Structured A/B testing of ad creative, hooks, headlines, body copy, and CTAs. Testing is systematic — one variable at a time — so results are conclusive. Winning creative is scaled; losing creative is replaced. Over time this builds a playbook of what works for your specific audience in India.

Campaign Architecture

Funnel-Based Structure —
Not One Broad Campaign

The most common reason Meta ads fail is treating the entire platform as a single direct response channel. Effective Meta advertising requires campaigns at each stage of the customer journey working together.

Top of Funnel — Awareness
Reach New, Relevant Audiences

Broad targeting to reach people who match your ideal customer profile but have never heard of you. Objective: brand awareness, video views, page engagement. We use interest-based targeting, demographic data, and behavioural signals to find people likely to become customers — then we bring them into the funnel.

Middle of Funnel — Consideration
Nurture Warm Audiences

Retarget people who engaged with your top-of-funnel content — video viewers, page engagers, website visitors — with more specific, value-led creative. This stage builds trust and moves people closer to a purchase or enquiry. Messaging shifts from "here's who we are" to "here's why we're right for you."

Bottom of Funnel — Conversion
Convert High-Intent Audiences

Target people who have visited your website, viewed product pages, or interacted with your mid-funnel content — with direct response creative and a clear single CTA. This is where conversions happen. Optimised for the lowest possible cost per lead, purchase, or enquiry in your market.

Audience Strategy

We build multiple audience layers for each funnel stage:

  • Custom audiences from website visitors — pixel-based, segmented by page visited
  • Customer list uploads for CRM-based targeting and exclusion
  • Lookalike audiences built from your highest-value customers
  • Interest and behaviour-based cold targeting for top-of-funnel
  • Engagement audiences from video views, page interactions, and previous ad clicks
  • Cart abandoner and high-intent visitor retargeting for e-commerce

Creative Testing Framework

We test systematically — one variable at a time:

  • Hook and opening line testing — the first 3 seconds determine everything
  • Video vs. static image performance per audience and placement
  • Short-form vs. long-form copy across audience temperatures
  • CTA button text and landing page destination testing
  • Regular creative refresh cycle to prevent ad fatigue
Audience Types

Every Audience Type,
Used Correctly

Each audience type serves a different purpose. Mixing them without structure is the most common reason Meta ad accounts waste budget.

01
Core / Interest Audiences

Built using Facebook's demographic, interest, and behaviour data. Best for top-of-funnel cold outreach when you don't yet have custom data. We test multiple interest stacks and keep only what performs.

02
Custom Audiences

Built from your own data — website visitors (via Pixel), customer email lists, video viewers, app activity, and CRM data. These are your warmest audiences and typically produce the lowest cost per result.

03
Lookalike Audiences

Meta finds users who share characteristics with your best existing customers. We build lookalikes from purchase lists, high-LTV customers, and lead quality data — not just anyone who visited your site.

04
Retargeting Audiences

Website visitors segmented by page — product viewers, cart abandoners, checkout starters. Each segment gets different creative and offers relevant to where they dropped off in the buying journey.

05
Engagement Audiences

People who have engaged with your Facebook page, Instagram profile, watched your videos, or interacted with previous ads. A key mid-funnel audience that bridges awareness and conversion.

06
Exclusion Audiences

Often overlooked — excluding existing customers from acquisition campaigns, excluding recent purchasers from offers, excluding engaged audiences from cold targeting to keep CPMs low and relevance high.

Common Problems

Why Most Meta Ads
Accounts Underperform

When we audit new Meta ad accounts, the same problems come up repeatedly. Most wasted spend traces back to a small number of structural and strategic errors.

  • !A single broad campaign trying to do everything — awareness, consideration, and conversion simultaneously
  • !No audience exclusions — showing acquisition ads to existing customers and paying for irrelevant clicks
  • !Ad creative that never changes — leading to ad fatigue and rising CPMs within 2–3 weeks
  • !Meta Pixel not correctly installed or firing incorrect events — meaning the algorithm optimises for the wrong signals
  • !Testing too many variables at once — making it impossible to know what actually drove a result
  • !Campaign objectives mismatched to funnel stage — using a conversion objective on a cold, unaware audience
  • !Scaling too fast before the algorithm has enough data — causing cost instability and performance collapse

How We Fix Underperforming Accounts

Our audit process identifies exactly where budget is being wasted before we make any changes. We don't rebuild everything at once — we fix critical issues first, then restructure systematically.

  • Full Pixel audit — verify all events are firing correctly before optimising for them
  • Campaign structure review — identify audience overlaps, objective mismatches, and budget inefficiencies
  • Creative audit — assess fatigue levels and identify top performers worth scaling
  • Audience analysis — map existing audiences to funnel stages and identify gaps
  • Attribution review — ensure reporting is accurately reflecting true campaign contribution

We present audit findings and a restructure plan before you commit to ongoing management. No obligation to proceed.

Channel Comparison

Meta Ads vs. Google Ads —
When to Use Which

Both platforms have strengths. The right choice depends on your business model, product type, and where your buyers are in the decision process. Many businesses need both.

Factor Meta Ads Google Ads
User intent Interruption-based — user is not actively searching, but matches your target profile Intent-based — user is actively searching for your product or service right now
Best for Brand awareness, D2C products, impulse purchases, lead gen with visual creative High-intent B2B leads, local services, products with active search demand
Creative importance Critical — creative is the primary targeting mechanism in Meta's algorithm Important but secondary to keyword strategy and landing page
Speed to results 2–4 weeks to initial data; 4–8 weeks to stable performance 1–3 weeks for initial leads from well-structured search campaigns
Audience building Exceptional — first-party data, lookalikes, and detailed interest targeting Limited to in-market and affinity audiences; keyword-driven
E-commerce Strong — dynamic product ads and catalogue sales are highly effective Strong via Google Shopping — different buyer intent, both often needed
Brand building High — visual format and broad reach make Meta ideal for brand awareness in India Limited — users see ads only when actively searching
Budget sensitivity Works from ₹500/day; needs volume for algorithm to optimise CPC-driven; competitive sectors in India can be expensive at low budgets
Our Process

How We Manage
Meta Ads Accounts

A structured four-phase approach — from audit through to ongoing optimisation and scale.

01
Account & Pixel Audit

Review existing campaigns, verify Pixel installation, confirm all conversion events are tracking correctly, and identify audience overlaps and structural issues before making any changes.

02
Strategy & Structure

Build a funnel-based campaign architecture aligned to your product type, sales cycle, and business goals. Audience strategy, campaign objectives, and initial creative direction are agreed before launch.

03
Launch & Test

Launch campaigns with structured creative testing in place from day one. We monitor performance closely in the first two weeks and make early adjustments to audiences and bids based on initial data signals.

04
Optimise & Scale

Scale what works and cut what doesn't. Monthly reports cover spend, leads, cost per result, ROAS, and creative performance — with a clear action plan for the following month based on data, not assumptions.

Meta Ads Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Meta Ads can work from ₹15,000–₹20,000 per month in ad spend for smaller campaigns, though most meaningful results come from ₹30,000–₹50,000+ per month. The right budget depends on your cost per lead targets, funnel structure, and whether you are running a single campaign type or a full funnel. We discuss specific budget recommendations during the strategy call based on your sector and goals.
Initial leads or sales typically appear within the first 2–4 weeks of a well-structured campaign. The learning phase — where Meta's algorithm collects enough conversion data to optimise — typically takes 2–4 weeks per ad set. Stable, predictable performance usually develops after 4–8 weeks. We set realistic expectations during onboarding and flag when a campaign needs time vs. when something needs changing.
We provide creative strategy — hooks, angles, formats, and testing frameworks. For static image and graphic ads, we can produce these. For video ads, we provide detailed briefs and direction; production is either handled by your team, a production partner, or we can recommend one. The level of creative support included varies by package — we confirm this during the strategy call.
Yes. We regularly take over accounts that have been running with poor structure, wasted spend, or incorrect Pixel tracking. Our onboarding always starts with a full account audit — we never make changes before we understand what is currently running. We don't disrupt campaigns that are working while fixing the ones that aren't.
This is extremely common and usually caused by ad fatigue — your target audience has seen the same creative too many times and stops engaging. It can also be caused by audience saturation (you've shown ads to everyone worth targeting in your audience), iOS tracking changes affecting Pixel data quality, or increased competition in your market raising CPMs. The fix involves fresh creative, expanded or refreshed audiences, and sometimes a structural review of the whole account.
We operate on rolling monthly agreements with 30 days' notice. We recommend a minimum of 2–3 months to allow the Meta algorithm to learn and stabilise, and to run at least one full creative testing cycle. This is a practical recommendation, not a contractual requirement. We believe our results should earn your continued investment.
Yes — though the approach differs from B2C. For B2B, we focus on targeting by job title, company size, and industry using Meta's detailed targeting. Lead generation campaigns using instant forms work well for collecting business enquiries. Retargeting website visitors from LinkedIn or Google Ads campaigns is also highly effective. LinkedIn is generally stronger for B2B at scale, but Meta can produce solid B2B results at a lower cost per click in the Indian market.
