What we do

Meta ads services built for Facebook lead generation

Our Meta advertising services cover Facebook advertising and Instagram ads across Feed, Stories, Reels and Messenger, all from one ad account. We focus on the two campaign types that bring service businesses leads, and let Meta's placement optimisation decide where your ads appear.

Facebook lead ads

The fastest route to new leads

As a Meta lead generation agency, we start most clients on lead ads. They open a short form inside Facebook or Instagram, so people can ask for a quote without leaving the app. That brings in more leads for less, but lets low-intent people through too. We add two or three qualifying questions, such as suburb, job type and timing, and connect the form to your inbox or CRM before launch.

Website conversion campaigns

Better for higher-value jobs

Meta conversion campaigns send people from your ads to a landing page that explains the service before they fill in a form. Each lead costs more, but people arrive better informed and more likely to book. We use this approach for services that need explaining or carry a bigger price tag, and our web design and development team can build the page if you need one.

What our Facebook ads agency won't sell you

Upfront
Awareness campaigns

We don't run Reach, Brand Awareness or Video Views campaigns. They are built to show your ad to as many people as possible, not to bring in leads, so they make little sense when you measure success by cost per booked job.

Creative production

We write the ad copy, plan the creative and brief your team or production supplier on exactly what to shoot. Filming, editing and design sit outside our fee, so your budget goes into strategy and media.

Agency-owned ad accounts

Your ad account, audiences and ad history stay in your own Meta Business Suite. We work on partner access, so nothing is lost if you ever move on.

Many Facebook ad agencies sell these as add-ons later. We would rather be clear about them before you sign.
Why campaigns fail

Six reasons Facebook ads stop bringing in leads

When we review a Facebook ads account, whether it is self-managed or run by another Facebook advertising agency, the platform is rarely the real problem. It is usually tracking, the campaign objective, audience setup or tired creative. Working with the right marketing agency means each one is found and fixed, so your ads become a steady source of leads.

Cost per lead creeping up every month

The same people are seeing the same ads too often, or several ad sets are competing for one audience. Separating new audiences from remarketing and refreshing the creative regularly usually brings costs back under control.

Plenty of leads, very few bookings

A form with no qualifying questions collects anyone who taps it. Asking about job type, suburb and timing lowers the raw number of leads but gives your team far more leads worth calling.

Tracking that stops at the form

If Meta only sees form submissions, it can't tell a time-waster from a paying customer. Without the Conversions API it also misses results that browsers no longer report, so it optimises on incomplete data.

The wrong campaign objective

Traffic and Engagement campaigns are built for clicks and likes, so Meta finds people who click and scroll on. Rebuilding the campaigns around Leads or Sales objectives points your budget at people likely to take action.

No Meta remarketing in place

People who visited your website or opened your form either keep seeing the ad that didn't convince them, or see nothing at all. A separate remarketing campaign gives them a fresh reason to come back.

The agency holds your ad account

When a Facebook ad management company runs your ads inside its own Business Manager, your audiences, ad history and conversion data stay behind if you leave. Every Meta ads account we manage sits in your own Meta Business Suite.

Costs and budgets

What Meta ads cost and what drives it

Running Meta ads involves two separate costs: your ad spend, paid directly to Meta, and our Meta ads management fee, quoted after your free audit. What you pay per lead depends mostly on your industry, job value and how tightly the form qualifies. The table shows what shapes cost in each sector and how we measure success.

Vertical What drives cost per lead Campaign we start with Creative that works Main risk we manage What we measure
Trades and home services Job value and how tightly you target your service area Facebook lead ads with qualifying questions Photos and short clips of real jobs Leads from outside your area Cost per booked job
Healthcare and allied health Treatment type and compliance requirements Lead ads or a consult booking page Clinic walk-throughs and practitioner videos Ads rejected under health policies Cost per attended appointment
Professional services Service value and how much trust is needed Website conversions to a consult page Short videos answering client questions Price shoppers Cost per signed client
Ecommerce brands Average order value and repeat purchases Sales campaigns with a product catalogue Product and customer-style video Paying again for existing customers Return on ad spend

Budget matters as much as the ad itself. If the budget is too small, Meta can't gather enough results to learn which ads work, and your cost per lead stays unpredictable. Your free audit includes a recommended starting budget for your industry and area.

Tracking setup

Meta conversion tracking we set up before any ad spend

Meta can only optimise towards the results it can see. When tracking is incomplete, it finds the wrong people and your cost per lead rises, and the audience usually gets the blame. That is why we set up and test tracking before any Facebook ads campaign goes live.

Meta Pixel audit

We confirm the Pixel records the actions that matter on your website, such as form submissions, calls and bookings, and that nothing is counted twice. Gaps here are common and easy to miss.

Conversions API setup

The Conversions API sends results to Meta from your website's server instead of relying on the visitor's browser. It recovers results hidden by privacy settings and ad blockers, so Meta works from a more complete picture.

Booked jobs sent back to Meta

A form submission and a paying customer are not the same thing. We connect your CRM so booked jobs flow back to Meta, which lets it look for more people like your real customers rather than more form fillers.

Why this matters: browser tracking is less reliable than it used to be, so the Pixel on its own misses results. Without server-side tracking, you are paying for campaigns that can't fully see their own performance. We don't launch without it.
Audience strategy

Facebook and Instagram audience targeting in four stages

Every Meta ads account we manage is built around four audience groups. Each one gets its own message, its own share of the budget and its own measure of success, so you can see exactly which stage is working.

New audiences

Lookalikes

Engaged audiences

Remarketing

Cold · Broad

People in your service area who haven't heard of you yet

Why we use it
Narrow interest targeting is a guess about who your customer is. Broad targeting, backed by good tracking, lets Meta find the people most likely to become customers.
Creative brief
Several hooks in rotation, one leading with the problem, one with proof and one with the offer. Short vertical video or clear photos of real work.
Success signals
A steady cost per lead, a healthy share of qualified leads and ads people stop scrolling to watch.
Budget share
The largest share, because this is where most new customers come from.
Cool · Lookalike

Built from your best customers, not every form fill

Why we use it
A lookalike audience copies the traits of the list it's built from. Built from booked jobs, it finds more people like your real customers. Built from every lead, it finds more people who just fill in forms.
Creative brief
The same hooks as new audiences, with a shorter lead-in.
Success signals
Cost per lead close to, or better than, new audiences.
Budget share
A smaller share to start, growing as your customer list grows.
Warm · Engaged

Video viewers, page followers and form openers

Why we use it
These people showed interest but didn't act. Usually the offer wasn't clear enough, rather than the targeting being wrong.
Creative brief
A fresh angle on the same service that answers common objections, shows specifics and includes pricing where you can.
Success signals
Leads at a lower cost than new audiences. If costs are the same, the message needs to change.
Budget share
A modest share, capped so people don't see the same ad too often.
Hot · Remarketing

Website visitors and people who started your form

Why we use it
The smallest group, with the strongest intent. Results stay strong until people start seeing the ads too often.
Creative brief
Reviews, guarantees and a direct booking call to action.
Success signals
Your lowest cost per lead, with ad frequency kept in check.
Budget share
The smallest share, matched to the size of the audience.

How we run your account

Our Meta ads management process in six stages

As a Facebook ads management agency, every account we run follows the same six stages, in order. The first two are finished before any ad spend begins.

01

Account audit

We review your ad account, tracking, creative, offer, landing page and lead handling, then send you a written report. The report is yours to keep, whether or not you work with us.

02

Tracking setup

The Pixel, Conversions API and CRM connection are set up and tested. Nothing goes live until every event is confirmed working.

03

Campaign strategy

We map your audiences, write the creative brief and set the qualifying questions for your forms. You approve the plan before launch.

04

Launch

Forms are tested end to end and lead alerts confirmed. Ads go live with several different hooks, and we watch lead quality closely in the first few days.

05

Optimisation

Meta needs a few weeks to learn who responds, so we avoid big changes early. After that, creative is refreshed and audiences tested on a regular cycle.

06

Scaling

Budget increases gradually on the ads with the lowest cost per booked job, timed with fresh creative so performance holds as spend grows.

FAQs

Meta ads agency FAQs

Is a Meta ads agency the same as a Facebook ads agency?
+
Yes. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram, and the same Ads Manager runs ads across both. Whether you search for a Meta ads agency, a Facebook advertising agency, a Facebook marketing agency or an Instagram ads agency, you are looking for the same service. What matters is the campaign objective, the tracking setup and who holds the ad account.
Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?
+
Yes. We are a Meta advertising agency based in the Sydney CBD, managing campaigns for businesses across Australia, including Newcastle, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast and Cairns. Targeting is always set to your real service area.
How much does it cost to hire a Facebook ads agency in Sydney?
+
You pay two things: your ad spend, which goes directly to Meta, and a management fee to the agency. Our fee is quoted after your free audit, so it reflects your campaigns and goals rather than a fixed package.
How soon will Facebook ads bring in leads?
+
Lead campaigns usually start delivering soon after Meta approves the ads. Costs tend to move around while Meta learns who responds, so we judge results over the first month rather than the first few days.
How much should I spend on Facebook ads?
+
It depends on your industry, service area and the value of each job. Your audit includes a recommended starting budget, and our article on pest control advertising budgets shows how one trade approaches it.
Do Facebook lead ads work for tradies?
+
Yes, for planned work. As a Facebook lead generation agency, we focus tradie campaigns on jobs like hot water replacements, switchboard upgrades and termite inspections. For emergency call-outs, Google Ads usually performs better. Our guide to Meta ads for electricians shows how this works for one trade.
Do you create the ad creative?
+
We write the ad copy and the creative brief, set the hooks and formats, and manage the testing cycle. Filming, photography and design are handled by your team or a production supplier.
Who owns the Meta ad account?
+
You do. The account sits in your own Meta Business Suite and we work on partner access, so your conversion history, audiences and ad spend records stay with you if we ever part ways.
Can you target specific Sydney suburbs?
+
Yes. Ads can target selected postcodes or a radius around your base, with areas you don't service excluded. Pair your ads with local SEO so people who search your business name afterwards find you easily.
Why are my Facebook leads not turning into customers?
+
Usually it is the form, the objective or the follow-up. A form without qualifying questions, a campaign built for clicks or slow callbacks all lower close rates. If people click but don't convert on your website, our guide to why a landing page isn't converting covers the common fixes.
Should I run Meta ads and Google Ads together?
+
Often, yes. Facebook and Instagram ads create demand before people search, and Google Ads captures people who are already searching. Running both, managed by one team, makes it easier to move budget to whichever channel is bringing in booked work.
How long is the minimum engagement?
+
Ninety days. That is the time needed to set up tracking, launch and complete a full creative cycle. After that, the engagement continues month to month.
