Meta Ads · Facebook & Instagram

Reach the people who’ll want you — before they search.

Most of the people who will buy from you aren’t searching yet. Meta Ads puts a clear offer in front of the right audience on Facebook and Instagram, tests which creative actually works, and sends interested people to a page built to turn that interest into a call or form.

Two costs, always listed separately

Media spend
What Meta charges to show your ads.
Management
Alto’s work to plan, build, test and report.

The problem

Boosting posts and hoping isn’t a plan.

Boosting a post or running one ad for a month usually gets likes, not customers. Without a clear offer, the right audience and a few creative options to compare, it’s hard to tell whether Meta doesn’t work for your business — or just never got a fair test.

What you get

A fair test, then more of what works.

  • An offer people understand in the time it takes to scroll
  • Campaigns aimed at the audiences most likely to buy
  • Several creative angles tested side by side
  • A landing page that continues the ad’s message
  • Reporting on leads and cost per lead — not just reach and likes

How we approach it

Start with the offer, then test the creative.

  1. 01

    Offer and audience

    What are you offering, to whom, and why now? A clear offer does more for results than any targeting trick.
  2. 02

    Creative to test

    Several angles and formats — video, image, carousel — so the audience decides what works. Built with our Creative & Content service, or from material you already have.

  3. 03

    Launch with a matching page

    The page someone lands on repeats the ad’s promise and makes the next step obvious. Tracking is set up and checked before launch — see Websites & Landing Pages.

  4. 04

    Manage and measure

    Budget moves toward what produces leads. Each month we review what to keep, what to cut and what to try next — and tell you plainly.

Two separate costs

Ad spend and management are different things.

It’s easy to blur them together, and it makes results hard to judge. Your plan lists them separately, and so does our reporting.

Media spend

The budget Meta charges to show your ads to people on Facebook and Instagram. It’s agreed with you up front and can go up or down as results come in.

Management

Alto’s work: the offer and audience plan, building campaigns, running creative tests, adjusting budgets, tracking and reporting. Quoted separately from spend.

Creative testing

Let the audience pick the winner.

Instead of betting the budget on one ad, we run a few genuinely different angles side by side and move spend toward what produces leads.
  • Angle A

    The problem

    Starts with the frustration your customer already feels.

    The proof

    Leads with a real result, review or before-and-after.

  • Angle C

    The offer

    Puts the reason to act now front and centre.

What we compare: cost per lead, lead quality, and what people say when they get in touch.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How much should I spend on Meta ads?
It depends on your market, offer and goals. We’ll recommend a starting budget in your plan and explain why — and it’s always separate from our management fee.
Is ad spend included in your fee?
No. Media spend is what Meta charges to show your ads, and you pay it directly: your card goes into your Meta ad account. Management is Alto’s work. They’re quoted and reported separately so you can judge each one.
Do I need new creative?
Not always — existing photos and video can work. Fresh creative gives a test more to work with, and our Creative & Content service can make it.
Should I run Meta Ads or Google Ads?
They do different jobs. Google Ads reaches people already searching; Meta reaches people before they search. Plenty of businesses use both, but starting with one is fine.
Can you guarantee a number of leads?
No one can honestly promise that. What we can promise is a clear plan, careful testing and straight reporting on what’s working.
