Paid social on Meta and LinkedIn, judged on how many leads become real prospects.

For businesses that want to reach the right people before they start searching: B2B firms on LinkedIn, and businesses with strong visual work or a clear offer on Facebook and Instagram. You pay the platform for the ads; our management fee is separate.

Our paid social media management runs advertising campaigns on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn for UK businesses, from audiences and creative to tracking and testing. We judge campaigns on how many leads become genuine prospects, not on what Ads Manager reports. Management starts from £500 a month plus VAT, with ad spend paid to the platform and a three-month minimum.

The problems we fix

“Our posts only ever reach people who already know us.”

What we do

Paid campaigns aimed at defined audiences, by job, industry, location or interest.

What changes

Your message reaches people who should know you, not only the ones who already do.

“The ads bring in leads, but most of them are rubbish.”

What we do

Tighter audiences, clearer creative and better forms, all judged on what the leads turn into.

What changes

Fewer time-wasters and more genuine prospects.

“Nobody set up the tracking, so we’ve no idea what worked.”

What we do

Install the Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag and conversion tracking properly, then add retargeting.

What changes

You can see what each campaign produced, and remind the people who looked but didn’t get in touch.

What our paid social management includes

Audiences and campaign planning

Who to reach, on which platform, with what offer. Facebook and Instagram for visual work and local reach; LinkedIn ads for B2B, where you can reach people by job title, industry and company size.

  • Audience research
  • Campaign strategy
  • LinkedIn ads
  • Facebook and Instagram ads

Creative and copy

Ad images, video and copy that say one thing clearly and give someone a reason to stop scrolling, with several versions to test.

  • Creative
  • Video
  • Copywriting
  • AI-assisted creative testing, with a person choosing what runs

Tracking and retargeting

The Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag and conversion tracking installed and checked, so every campaign can be judged on what it produced, and so the people who visited can be reached again.

  • Meta Pixel
  • Insight Tag
  • Conversion tracking
  • Retargeting

Testing and optimisation

Messages, audiences and formats tested continuously, with budget moved towards whatever brings real prospects, and a monthly report.

  • Audience testing
  • Creative testing
  • Monthly reporting

Selling to other businesses? See how LinkedIn ads fit into B2B marketing. Want a steady presence between campaigns? That’s social media management. And for people who are already searching, Google Ads management.

Leads that become prospects, not form fills

Ads Manager will happily report a pile of leads. The question we ask is how many of them were genuine prospects.

Lead quality first

Each lead checked against what a real prospect looks like for you, using your feedback or your CRM.

Cost per genuine prospect

What a real prospect costs, rather than what a form fill costs.

What happened next

Whether leads were followed up, and how fast, because a slow reply can waste a good lead.

What we’ll change

Each monthly report ends with what we’re changing next, not just what happened.

Ads reach an audience. SendIQ reaches named companies.

Paid social puts you in front of the right kind of people. SendIQ approaches specific companies directly, and the right person in each one.

Your first 30 days

Give the first campaign a clear purpose

Start with an audience, an offer and a sensible way to judge the enquiries that follow.

This is an outline for the first month, not a fixed delivery timetable. We agree the sequence around your scope, access and approvals. Some work will continue beyond it.

  1. Agree who and what

    Review your buyers, offer and existing advertising. Choose whether Meta, LinkedIn or both fit the job and agree the initial campaign scope.

  2. Prepare the ads and enquiry route

    Develop the creative and copy. Check where people will land, how enquiries will be measured and who will follow them up.

  3. Test and review

    Launch the approved campaign when the setup is ready. Review early performance alongside your feedback on lead quality before deciding what to change.

Is this the right starting point?

Worth discussing when you can explain the offer clearly and identify who should see it. Campaigns also need suitable creative and someone ready to follow up. Regular organic posting is covered by social media management.

Questions about paid social

All FAQs →

There are two costs: what you pay Meta for the ads, and the management fee. Meta prices ads by auction, so the cost depends on your audience, the competition for it and how good the ads are. Our management starts from £500 a month plus VAT, with ad spend paid to Meta directly. Budget to test properly for at least three months.

If you sell to other businesses and can describe your buyer by job title or industry, start with LinkedIn: clicks cost more, but you reach exactly the right people. If your work is visual, you sell to consumers or you want local reach for less, Facebook and Instagram usually win. Plenty of businesses end up using both.

If people already search for what you sell, start with Google Ads: you meet demand that already exists. If they don’t search, because the product is new or buyers don’t yet know they need it, start with paid social, which reaches people before they look. With enough budget, the two work best together.
