An ads agency should plan and run paid media across the channels that fit your funnel, not pour budget into one platform and report impressions. We build the media mix across Google, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, fix conversion tracking and attribution so the numbers are real, then pace the budget toward ROAS and CAC, cutting what doesn't return instead of defending it.

GeminiAn ads agency makes spend return more than it costs, not just run.
Anyone can launch campaigns and spend a budget. Choosing the channel mix that fits your funnel, measuring it on real ROAS, and cutting what doesn't return is a different job. Here are the four things we own.
- Media strategy
A channel mix that fits your funnel, not a habit
Most ad budgets pour into one channel because it's the one someone knows. We map your funnel first (where demand starts, where it converts, what margin you have) then build the media mix that fits it: search to capture intent, paid social and TikTok to create it, retargeting and branded search to close it. Each platform gets the job it's actually good at, and the budget follows the math, not the bias.
See a typical plan - Campaign build & buying
Campaigns structured to scale without leaking budget
The leverage is in structure, not in raising the budget. We build clean account architecture across Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Amazon: tight campaign and ad-set structure, audience targeting that isn't lazy lookalikes, bidding aligned to your goal, and budget pacing so you don't blow the month in week one. Creative gets tested as a variable, because on paid social the creative is the targeting.
See the method - Tracking & attribution
Conversion tracking you can actually trust
You can't optimize what you can't measure, and most accounts measure wrong. We wire conversion tracking and server-side events so the platforms learn on real conversions, set up attribution you understand instead of trusting each platform's self-reported ROAS, and connect it back to your CRM so you see CAC and pipeline, not just clicks. The numbers we report are the ones you can act on.
See the setup - AI & automation
Reporting and ops, automated so the work scales
We're an automation and AI agency first, so the busywork around your ads gets automated: live ROAS and CAC dashboards instead of monthly slide decks, alerts when a campaign drifts, feed and creative ops wired to your stack. Less time pulling numbers, more time on the decisions that move them. It plugs into how your team already works.

We run paid media like a P&L, not a vanity dashboard.
Most ad accounts leak the same way: budget in one channel out of habit, lazy audiences, broken tracking, and a report full of impressions nobody can act on. So we treat it like a P&L: economics first, measurement fixed before scaling, campaigns structured per platform, and budget paced toward ROAS and CAC with the losers cut fast.
- Audit · map your funnel, your unit economics, and where spend leaks today
- Track · fix conversion tracking and attribution before scaling a cent
- Build · campaign structure, audiences and creative tests, per platform
- Scale · pace budget toward ROAS and CAC, kill what doesn't return
We're judged on revenue, not impressions.
We don't sell a partner tier or a deck full of platform-reported wins. We run paid media the way it actually pays: economics first, tracking fixed before scaling, and budget that follows ROAS and CAC. That's exactly what's missing when an agency optimizes to look good in a dashboard instead of returning more than it spends.
- We optimize on ROAS and CAC, not on impressions or each platform's self-reported numbers. The report shows what you can act on.
- Tracking and attribution come first. We won't scale spend on top of broken measurement, because that just buys you confident wrong decisions.
- Ads amplify a working offer, they don't fix a weak one. If your offer or unit economics don't hold, we'll tell you before you spend, not after.
- No badge to sell. We're judged on whether your paid media returns more than it costs after we leave, not on a partner tier.
Paid media at the core, your tracking and data around it.
We configure the parts that turn ad spend into measurable return, then connect them to how your team already works. Here's what a real account build covers.
- Setup
Account audit & structure
We rebuild campaign architecture across your platforms: clean campaign and ad-set structure, naming conventions, and a hierarchy that lets you scale spend without the algorithm losing the plot.
- Setup
Audience & targeting
We set up audience targeting that earns its keep: first-party data, real prospecting segments, exclusion lists, and retargeting pools, instead of dumping budget into broad lookalikes and hoping.
- Setup
Creative testing
On paid social the creative is the targeting. We run a structured creative testing loop (hooks, formats, angles) so winners scale and fatigue gets caught before it eats your ROAS.
- Setup
Bidding & budget pacing
We align bidding strategy to your real goal (ROAS, CPA or volume) and pace budget across the funnel so spend goes where it returns, not where a platform nudges it.
- Setup
Conversion tracking
We wire conversion tracking, server-side events and the data layer so the platforms optimize on real conversions and your numbers survive privacy changes and ad-blockers.
- Setup
Attribution & dashboards
We connect ad data to your CRM and build live dashboards showing ROAS, CAC, CPA and pipeline, so you judge channels on revenue, not on each platform's self-reported wins.
We audit your spend and funnel, you leave with a plan.
Before quoting anything, we take 60 minutes to look at your accounts, your funnel and your unit economics: where the spend leaks, whether your tracking is real, and which channel actually fits. You leave with an honest read on what to fix first and whether ads are even the right lever. Zero pitch, just a media buyer's take on your numbers.

- Whether your tracking and attribution are real
- The channel mix that fits your funnel
- A frank take on whether ads are the right lever
How we run your paid media.
Five steps, in order. We don't scale budget before tracking is fixed, we don't judge prospecting on a branded-search ROAS bar, and your team owns the account at the end. Each step has a deliverable and you sign off before we move on.
- Step 1 · Audit & economics
Map your funnel and where spend leaks
We look at your accounts, your funnel and your unit economics: what a customer is worth, what you can pay to acquire one, and where the current spend leaks (wrong objectives, lazy audiences, broken tracking, channels that don't fit). Half the value is telling you whether ads are even the right lever right now, and which channel actually fits before you scale a budget.
- Step 2 · Fix the measurement
Get tracking and attribution right first
Before we touch budget, we fix how you measure. Conversion tracking and server-side events so the platforms learn on real conversions, an attribution view you understand instead of trusting self-reported ROAS, and a connection back to your CRM so CAC and pipeline are visible. Scaling spend on broken measurement just buys confident wrong decisions, so this comes first.
- Step 3 · Build the campaigns
Structure, audiences and creative per platform
We build clean campaign structure across the channels that fit your funnel: search for intent, paid social and TikTok for demand, retargeting and branded search to close. Audience targeting on real segments, not lazy lookalikes, and a creative testing loop because on paid social the creative is the targeting. Each platform gets the job it's good at.
- Step 4 · Scale on the math
Pace budget toward ROAS and CAC
Once tracking is clean and structure is in, we scale on the numbers. Budget pacing across the funnel, bidding aligned to your goal, winners scaled and losers cut fast. We watch ROAS, CAC and CPA per channel and shift spend to what returns. Full-funnel, so top-of-funnel prospecting and bottom-funnel branded search each get judged on the role they play.
- Step 5 · Report & hand over
Live dashboards, then your team owns it
You get live ROAS and CAC dashboards instead of a monthly slide deck, with the logic documented so your team can read and run it. If you want to bring paid media in-house, we hand you the structure and the playbook. If you want us pacing the spend and testing creative ongoing, we talk about that separately. Either way you own the account and the data.
We're judged on the spend that returns.
No partner badge to display, so we lead with what matters: feedback from the teams whose paid media we run, and whether the spend kept returning more than it cost after we left. Our Trustpilot reviews come from those teams, not from a marketing deck.
- You own the ad accounts and the data, not us
- Tracking and attribution fixed before any budget scaled
- ROAS and CAC reported live, not in a monthly deck
- Trustpilot reviews come from the teams we run paid media for
The questions we get asked on repeat.
What does an ads agency actually do?
An ads agency plans and runs your paid advertising across the platforms that fit your funnel: Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Amazon. The real job is the media mix, campaign structure, audience targeting, bidding and budget pacing, plus creative testing and the conversion tracking and attribution that tell you what worked. We optimize on ROAS and CAC, not impressions, and report numbers you can act on instead of each platform's self-reported wins.How much does an ads agency cost?
It depends on scope and spend: running one channel is nothing like a full-funnel mix across Google, Meta and TikTok with creative testing and CRM-connected attribution. We don't throw out a flat package. We start with a free 60-minute audit to find where your spend leaks and whether ads are even the right lever, then quote a fixed scope. The ad budget itself you pay the platforms directly; we set it up so it returns more than it costs.Which platforms do you run ads on?
The ones that fit your funnel, not all of them by default. Google Ads (search, Shopping, YouTube, PMax) for capturing intent, Meta Ads and TikTok for creating demand on cold audiences, LinkedIn for B2B targeting, Amazon for retail. The point of an ads agency is choosing the mix that matches where your buyers actually are and what your margins allow, then giving each platform the job it's good at, instead of spreading budget thin everywhere.How do you measure whether the ads are working?
On ROAS and CAC tied to real revenue, not on impressions, clicks or each platform's self-reported ROAS. We wire conversion tracking and server-side events so the platforms learn on real conversions, set up attribution you can understand, and connect it to your CRM so you see cost per acquisition and pipeline. You get a live dashboard, not a monthly deck. If a channel doesn't return more than it costs, we say so and move the budget.Why does conversion tracking and attribution matter so much?
Because you can't optimize what you can't measure, and most accounts measure wrong. With privacy changes and ad-blockers, browser-side tracking misses conversions, so the platforms optimize on bad signal and you scale on numbers that aren't real. We fix it with server-side events and a clean data layer, and we read attribution across channels instead of trusting each platform to claim the same sale. Getting this right before scaling spend is the difference between growth and burning budget.What's a full-funnel paid media approach?
It's matching each platform to the role it plays in the buyer journey. Top of funnel, paid social and TikTok create demand on cold audiences who don't know you yet. Mid funnel, retargeting brings back people who engaged. Bottom funnel, branded and non-brand search capture buyers who are already looking. Judging top-of-funnel prospecting on the same ROAS bar as branded search is how good campaigns get killed. We set the right expectation per stage.Can ads fix a business that isn't growing?
No, and this is the honest part most agencies skip. Ads amplify a working offer with healthy unit economics. They don't fix a weak offer, a broken funnel, or negative margins. If you spend to acquire customers who cost more than they're worth, ads just lose money faster. In the audit we look at your economics first. If the problem is the offer or the funnel, we'll tell you before you spend, because scaling a leaky bucket isn't a media problem.Do you handle the creative too?
We run the creative testing, which on paid social is where most of the result lives, because the creative is effectively the targeting. We structure the testing loop (hooks, formats, angles), catch fatigue before it eats your ROAS, and scale winners. If you have an in-house creative team, we brief and direct them on what to make next based on what the data says. If you don't, we help you build a production rhythm so the account never runs dry.
Stop spending on impressions. Spend on return.
A 60-minute audit, your spend and funnel mapped, a media plan built on ROAS and CAC with tracking fixed first. If your team can run paid media in-house after setup, we'll hand you the playbook. If we're the right fit, we handle it.
