We’ll put your business in front of the right people, sooner.

Right now, your ideal customers are actively searching Google, browsing Instagram, and researching on LinkedIn. Paid ads put your business in front of them at exactly the right moment.

But throwing a budget at these platforms and hoping for the best is a quick way to lose money. The actual heavy lifting happens after the campaigns launch: tracking the right metrics, aggressive testing, cutting the waste, and constantly refining the strategy.

We’ve spent years managing budgets across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn, focusing entirely on the optimisations that move the needle for your bottom line.

Building paid campaigns that turn ad spend into revenue

Anyone can launch an ad campaign, but getting the most from your budget  takes thoughtful strategy, testing, and ongoing optimisation. We focus on the channels, audiences, and opportunities most likely to drive commercial outcomes, helping your business get more from every advertising dollar.

Capture high-intent searchers on Google

Most buying journeys start with a Google search. Through strategic keyword targeting, compelling ad copy, and ongoing optimisation, we'll help you secure premium visibility and connect with people actively searching for your products and services.

Create new demand on Meta

We use smart audience targeting, continuous creative testing, and active campaign optimisation to introduce your brand to the right people across Meta, LinkedIn, and the wider web, building valuable awareness before customers are even ready to buy.

Stay top of mind throughout the buying journey

Most customers don't convert on their first visit. We’ll use ads to strategically reconnect with previous website visitors and engaged audiences, keeping your business visible until they're ready to take action.

Answering your questions about Google & Meta ads

Should I choose Google Ads or Meta Ads?


It depends on what you're trying to achieve. Google Ads is great for reaching people who are actively searching for your products or services, while Meta Ads help you get in front of new audiences on Facebook and Instagram. If you're not sure which is right for you, we'll help you choose the best fit for your goals and budget.

How much does online ads management cost at authentic?


Our paid advertising management plans start from $995 per month. Pricing depends on your advertising budget, campaign complexity, and business goals, and includes strategy, setup, optimisation, reporting, and ongoing support from a dedicated Paid Search specialist.

Can you audit my Google Ads account?

Yes! If you're unsure whether your campaigns are performing as well as they could be, we'll review your account first and identify opportunities to improve targeting, ad performance, conversion tracking, and overall return on ad spend. Our Google Ads audits are completely free.

Which platforms do you manage?


We manage Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), and LinkedIn Ads. We'll recommend the platforms most likely to help you reach your ideal customers and achieve your business goals.

How long does it take to see results from Meta or Google Ads?


Google Ads can start generating traffic and leads as soon as your campaigns go live, while Meta Ads often take a little longer to optimise as we test audiences and creative. In both cases, ongoing optimisation and data analysis help improve performance over time, ensuring you get the best possible return from your advertising investment.

Choosing or switching your agency is a big decision. We’ll look after you.

If we’re not a fit, we’ll recommend someone we trust to deliver what you need.
