Acquire

Meta ads for ecommerce

Build a repeatable creative and audience testing system across Facebook and Instagram—then scale the combinations that acquire valuable customers, not just attributed purchases.

Built for

Ecommerce brands with a proven offer, viable contribution margin and the ability to produce or approve fresh creative consistently.

Not the right starting point when

A poor fit when the business expects targeting settings to compensate for weak product demand, an unclear offer or no sustainable creative-production capacity.

Where growth gets stuck

The problems this work is designed to solve.

01

Creative fatigue arrives quickly

Winning ads are scaled without a pipeline of new angles, formats and iterations ready to replace them.

02

Every campaign claims the sale

View-through attribution and cross-channel overlap make platform ROAS an unreliable source of truth.

03

Scaling raises CPA

Broader audiences expose a weak offer or creative system before the account has enough learning to compensate.

What is included

A practical system, not disconnected activity.

01

Creative testing roadmap

Hooks, formats, messages, proof and offer hypotheses planned by funnel stage.

02

Campaign architecture

Prospecting, catalogue, retargeting and retention roles with controlled overlap.

03

Audience strategy

Broad, first-party, lookalike and exclusion logic appropriate to account maturity.

04

Catalogue and dynamic ads

Product-set structure, feed diagnostics and relevant merchandising logic.

05

Measurement foundation

Pixel, Conversions API, event quality and attribution settings reviewed together.

06

Learning reports

What won, why it may have won, what to iterate and which commercial metric changed.

Delivery expectations

Know what happens before judging the work.

These are working expectations, not performance promises. Access, implementation capacity, data volume and buying cycles affect the pace.

First 10 working days

Offer, signal quality, catalogue and creative-testing priorities mapped after access

Multiple creative batches

Useful learning comes from repeated hooks and formats—not one launch week

Inputs required from your team

The work moves when access and decisions move.

  • Meta Business, ad-account, Pixel, catalogue and analytics access
  • Product economics, offer history and new-customer targets
  • Existing brand assets, customer language and previous creative results
  • A sustainable route to approve or produce new creative
Boundaries agreed in writing

No important responsibility is left implied.

  • Media spend stays in your business-owned ad account.
  • UGC shoots, creator fees and high-volume production are separately agreed when required.
  • Meta attribution is reviewed alongside store and analytics data; platform-reported ROAS is not treated as guaranteed incremental revenue.
How the work moves

From evidence to repeatable improvement.

Every engagement starts with the current commercial reality. The channel comes after the diagnosis.

  1. 1

    Map the offer and customer

    Translate the purchase decision into testable messages and creative angles.

  2. 2

    Repair the signal quality

    Validate events, catalogue data, exclusions and campaign roles.

  3. 3

    Build a testing rhythm

    Launch controlled creative batches with clear success and stop conditions.

  4. 4

    Scale with blended evidence

    Use Meta data alongside store, GA4 and new-customer signals.

A strong fit when

This is likely to be useful if…

  • You can produce or approve fresh creative consistently.
  • Your store has proven conversion demand and a viable contribution margin.
  • You want to understand why creative works, not only which ad won.
  • You need catalogue prospecting or retargeting for a broad product range.

Pricing

Understand the work first. Price it properly second.

We do not use a public rate card. We start with a consultation to understand the commercial goal, current setup, platform, data and delivery requirements. If there is a strong fit, you receive a clear written scope and price before deciding whether to proceed.

Questions

What brands usually ask.

Do you create the advertising creative?

We provide the testing strategy, briefs, copy and iteration plan. Production scope can be agreed around your internal team, creators or external production partners.

Do you set up the Meta Conversions API?

Yes. We review Pixel and Conversions API coverage, deduplication and event quality as part of the measurement foundation.

Should we use Advantage+ Shopping campaigns?

They can be effective, but the decision depends on conversion volume, geography, catalogue quality and the degree of control needed. We test them within a broader account structure rather than assume one format fits every brand.

How many new creatives do we need?

The required volume depends on spend, audience size and fatigue. We establish a sustainable testing cadence from the current account data.

Can we start with a focused first phase?

Yes. When the full delivery scope is not yet clear, the first engagement can be a defined audit, roadmap or implementation phase with its own outputs and decision point. Ongoing work is recommended only when the evidence supports it.

What if the diagnosis points outside this service?

We will say so. The consultation considers acquisition, conversion, retention and measurement together. The proposal should be the smallest useful scope for the current constraint, even when that means starting elsewhere or not working together yet.

How much does this service cost?

We price every engagement after an initial consultation. The right scope depends on your current setup, goals, data quality, platform complexity and who will implement the work. Once those are clear, we provide a written scope and price before anything begins.
