THE SHORT ANSWER

What Does A Meta Ads Agency Actually Do?

A Meta ads agency plans, builds and manages your advertising across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp. That covers the campaign setup, budgets, audiences, the ads themselves and the tracking that tells Meta which people became customers, so the platform can find more of them.

Meta now leans on the ad itself, more than audience settings, to decide whosees it. That makes creative the biggest lever in your account, and it is whyour media buyers and our creative team work side by side on every client.

What's Included In Meta Ads Management

Account audit and strategy: your offer, audiences, budget and the result we optimise for.

Pixel and Conversions API setup so leads and purchases arecounted even when browsers block cookies.

Campaign build and management for new customers and retargeting, checked and adjusted every week.

New ad creative every month: video, statics and creator content made in-house and tested against each other.

Lead forms or landing pages built to filter out time-wasters, with leads sent straight to your inbox or CRM.

Plain-English reporting on leads, cost per lead, qualified leads, sales and return on ad spend.

The Meta Ads Problems We Fix Most Often

“The Leads AreRubbish”

We add qualifying questions, choose higher-intent forms and tell Meta which leads became jobs, so it stops chasing people who never answer the phone.

“Our Costs KeepClimbing”

Rising costs usually mean the same few ads have worn out. Fresh creative every month keeps your cost per lead from creeping up.

“We Can't Tell What'sWorking”

We fix the tracking first, then report on the leads and sales each campaign brought in, with no vanity numbers.

“We Just Boost Posts”

Boosting buys reach, while a proper campaign in Ads Manager buys leads and sales. We move your spend to campaigns built for the result you want.

FAQS

Meta Ads Questions We Get Asked

These come from the questions business owners ask us on discovery calls. Anything else, call us on 027 274 6064.

How much should I spend on Meta ads in New Zealand?

It depends on what a customer is worth to you. Meta needs roughly 50 results a week for a campaign to settle, so we work back from your expected cost per lead or cost per sale to a starting budget, then scale in steps once the numbers hold. We set this out in your free audit before you commit to any spend.

Is $10 a day enough for Facebook ads?

It can test a local offer, but it rarely gives Meta enough to learn from. Ten dollars a day is about $300 a month, so if a lead costs you $30 that is around ten leads a month, far short of the 50 results a week Meta uses to optimise. Most businesses get better value from a bigger budget on fewer,stronger ads.

How much does a Meta ads agency cost?

Our Meta ads management starts from [YOUR PRICE] a month, with ad spend paid directly to Meta.That fee includes new creative every month, which many agencies charge for separately. Our guide to agency costs in New Zealand compares what different agencies charge.

Is boosting a post the same as running Meta ads?

Not quite. A boost is a simplified ad that mostly buys reach and engagement. A campaign built in Ads Manager can optimise for leads or purchases, test several ads against each other and retarget people who visited your site, which is where the sales come from.

Why are my Facebook leads poor quality?

Instant forms are quick to fill in, so they attract casual sign-ups, and Meta keeps finding more people like them. We add qualifying questions, use higher-intent forms or landing pages and send your best leads back to Meta through the Conversions API, so it learns who actually buys.

How long until Meta ads start working?

Ads can bring in leads in the first week, but the first month is mostly testing while Meta learns which people respond. We agree targets for the first 90 days at onboarding and report against them from launch.

Do I need to be on camera for my Meta ads?

No, our in-house crew films your work, your team and your customers, and we can use creators to front ads when the owner would rather stay behind the scenes. Owner-led video often performs well on Facebook and Instagram, so we will suggest it where it fits.

How long is the agreement?

We work on a 12-month term with a 60-day termination window. That gives your campaigns time to test, learn and scale, and gives you a clear way out if your circumstances change.
