Who it’s for

Build it once. Build it properly. Run it with confidence.

You don’t want to outsource your marketing forever, but you also don’t want to waste time, money or energy guessing your way through Meta Ads.

The setup is for business owners who want clarity, confidence and control without handing their ads to an agency. It’s designed to save you months of trial and error, and thousands in wasted ad spend.

This is for you if

  • You want to start running Meta Ads but don’t trust a DIY setup
  • You want your ads built properly from the start, not patched together
  • You want guidance and structure
  • You want to keep your marketing in-house
  • You want to understand how Meta Ads work within your business

Why the setup matters

When the foundations aren’t solid, it doesn’t matter how good the creative is.

A messy Meta Ads setup

✕  Unclear results

✕  Wasted ad spend

✕  Second-guessing every decision

A clean Meta Ads setup

✓  Simpler decisions

✓  Results that are easier to read

✓  The confidence to press “publish” and take the reins

This is the difference between flying blind and running ads with intention.

A great fit if

Who the setup is best suited for

  • You’re early in your paid ads journey but serious about doing it properly
  • You want to keep your marketing in-house
  • You value structure and long-term thinking
  • You don’t want to learn everything, just enough to run ads profitably

Probably not the right fit if

Honestly, it’s not for everyone

  • You’re after a quick fix or a panic campaign
  • You’re not making any sales organically yet
  • Your website isn’t converting yet (we’d fix that first)
  • You’d rather someone ran your ads for you. That’s Meta Ads Management

Questions

Things clients usually ask

Is my business ready for Meta Ads?

These are the four questions I’d ask first: Are you making sales organically? Do you have a clear understanding of who your ideal customer is? Are you posting regularly on organic socials? Is your website converting well (ideally over 3%)? Still not sure? Book a free 30-minute call and we’ll go through it together.

What’s included in the Meta Ads account setup?

Strategy and research, competitor analysis, your ad account and Business Manager set up, Meta Pixel connection, custom event tracking, custom audiences, and two campaigns built for your business. Then a two-hour training session, 14 days of email support and a Loom review of your campaigns.

How much does a Meta Ads account setup cost?

The setup is a once-off fee of $2,000 + GST. Your ad spend is separate and paid directly to Meta.

How long does the setup take?

Seven days from when you’ve agreed to go ahead and sent me all the information I need. Then we book in your two-hour training.

How much do I need to spend on ads?

You don’t need a huge budget to get started. You can start on $30 to $40 a day and still see great results. The hardest part is just getting started, and that’s where I can help.

Do I need a big audience before I start?

No. Ads are there to help grow your audience and brand. You do need to be active on social media and posting organically at the same time, though. You can’t rely on Meta Ads alone.

What happens after the setup?

You’ll run your own ads, with 14 days of email support and a Loom review two weeks after your training. If you’d like an expert in your corner for longer, Meta Ads Mentorship is the natural next step.

Done once. Done properly.

Your ad account and campaigns set up by an expert, so you stay in control without the overwhelm.
