A Full-Service Process for Scalable Meta Ads

Strategy, tracking, media buying and video creative run in one loop, so every dollar of ad spend keeps learning.

  1. 01
    Tracking

    Audit & Tracking Setup

    We audit your ad account, Pixel and Conversions API, fix broken events and map your funnel. Clean data is what lets Meta's algorithm find real buyers, so tracking comes before a single dollar of new spend.

    Structure

    Campaign Architecture

    We build a full-funnel structure: video views and engagement at the top, retargeting in the middle, conversion campaigns at the bottom. Advantage+ and manual campaigns work side by side, each with a clear job and budget.

    Video-First Media Buying

    Video ads become the core of every ad set. Our media buyers test hooks, lengths and placements across Feed, Stories and Reels, retarget people by how much of a video they watched, and AI-assisted analytics flag winners early.

    Creative Refresh & Scaling

    AI tools track every ad daily and spot fatigue before results drop. Our in-house studio then ships new social media video variations, often within days, so winners scale and your account avoids the slump that kills most campaigns.

The Meta Ads Media Plan: Your Growth Blueprint

Before launch, we agree on a one-page media plan: target CPA or ROAS, budget split by funnel stage, audiences, the video angles we will test first, and the weekly reporting cadence. It turns your ad spend into a predictable testing system, not guesswork.

A strong Meta ads media plan answers three questions before launch:

  • 1
    What result defines success?
  • 2
    How is budget split?
  • 3
    Which video angles test first?

Meizu: Video Distribution That Delivered +26% Recall

We didn't stop at the shoot. For Meizu we planned the video's distribution, bought premium in-stream and CTV inventory and optimized on viewable impressions, reaching 88% viewability and a +26% ad recall lift.

Placement Whitelists

We kept only placements whose historical video viewability exceeded 80%, so the budget never paid for ads that people scrolled past without seeing.

Premium Inventory Deals

Inventory came through Private Marketplace deals with Tier-1 publishers, so the video ran in brand-safe, premium environments instead of leftover, low-quality impressions nobody remembers.

In-Stream Video First

We prioritized in-stream placements where the video plays inside the content people chose to watch, the same logic we apply to Reels and Stories.

Optimized on Viewability

Bidding moved from CPM to vCPM, cutting placements with fast scroll-past, and results were verified with IAS tracking and Nielsen panels.

What Does a Facebook Ads Agency Do?

A Facebook advertising agency plans, launches and optimizes your paid campaigns across Meta — Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Audience Network. As a video marketing agency, we add what most media buyers lack: an in-house studio for social media video production and AI video ad production, so your account never runs out of fresh creative. Running B2B campaigns too? Pair Meta with LinkedIn video ads.

Industries We Run Meta Ads For

We manage Meta campaigns for fashion and apparel brands launching collections, startups and tech companies chasing efficient growth, and financial services firms generating qualified leads. For online stores, we pair media buying with ecommerce video production as part of a wider digital marketing video strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facebook Ads Management

How much does a Facebook ads agency charge for management?

Most US agencies charge a flat monthly fee by ad spend bracket or 10–25% of spend. Our Facebook ads management packages start at $3,500 a month for up to $15,000 in spend, including new video ads every month. Ad spend is paid to Meta directly.

Is there a setup fee or a minimum ad budget?

Yes. Setup costs $1,500 one time, waived on a six-month agreement, and covers the account audit, Pixel and Conversions API setup and the campaign build. We recommend at least $5,000 a month in ad spend, so Meta has enough data to optimize.

Why should video be the core of our Meta ad campaigns?

Video gives Meta richer signals than static images: watch time, ThruPlays and engagement. That lets you build retargeting audiences by how much of a video people watched and move warm viewers toward conversion. Reels and Stories placements are also built for vertical video.

How long until results, and how do you speed them up?

New campaigns go through Meta's learning phase in the first one to two weeks, and the first month is mainly testing. We shorten that curve with AI-assisted analytics that spot winning video angles and audiences early, so most accounts stabilize and start scaling in months two and three.

Do you manage Instagram ads as well as Facebook ads?

Yes. Meta runs Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Audience Network from one Ads Manager, so a Meta ads agency and a Facebook ads agency do the same job. Our management fee covers all Meta placements, with video cut for Feed, Stories and Reels.

Who owns the ad account, ad spend and video ads?

You do. You create the ad account in your own Business Manager and pay Meta directly for ad spend. Our media buyers work in it through partner access, and we invoice only for our services. Every video we produce becomes your property.
