PILLAR C — GROWTH & MARKETING

Paid ads with the plumbing done right.

PPC advertising at NexusWave is managed paid traffic across Google, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and TikTok — campaign strategy, creative, targeting, and optimization, built on conversion tracking that actually works. Most wasted ad spend isn’t bad ads; it’s broken measurement and weak landing pages. We’re engineers, so we fix the plumbing first.

AT A GLANCE

Plumbing before spend.

$0media markup — your ad spend goes directly to the platforms, always.

from $500/momanagement across Google, Meta, and TikTok — scales with platforms and creative volume.

4–8 wksfrom live campaigns to profitable traffic, through testing and optimization.

Paid traffic starts the day campaigns go live; profitable traffic takes testing. The difference between those two is exactly what management is for.

You own the ad accounts, the data, and the pixel history — always. No hostage-taking if we ever part ways.

OUR APPROACH

Fix the plumbing first.

Tracking before targeting: we won’t scale spend on measurement we don’t trust, so week one is instrumentation. Then structure: tight campaigns with clear jobs — capture demand, create demand, recover carts — instead of one blob that “does ads.” Creative and landing pages are one system; the click is only half the conversion. And because our CRO and web teams sit in the same studio, “the landing page is the problem” is a ticket we can close, not a hand-off to your other vendor.

HOW WE RUN IT

Tracking before targeting.

Week one is instrumentation — no scaling spend on numbers we don’t trust.

Structure with clear jobs.

Capture demand, create demand, recover carts — never one blob that “does ads.”

Click + page, one system.

Creative and landing pages tested together — the click is half the conversion.

Fix, don’t hand off.

CRO and web teams in the same studio close the landing-page ticket ourselves.

Real questions clients ask.

01How much does PPC management cost?

Management starts at $500/mo plus your ad spend, which goes directly to the platforms with no markup. Platform count and creative volume set the final scope.

02What’s a reasonable ad budget to start with?

Enough to generate statistically meaningful data in your market — for most local businesses that’s $1,000–3,000/mo in spend; competitive niches need more. We’ll give you an honest number in the audit, including “don’t run ads yet” if that’s the truth.

03Which ad platforms do you manage?

Google Ads (search, shopping, display, YouTube), Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and TikTok. We recommend the platform where your buyers are, not the one that’s trendy.

04How fast will I see results?

Paid traffic starts the day campaigns go live; profitable traffic typically takes 4–8 weeks of testing and optimization. The difference between those two is exactly what management is for.

05Do you fix landing pages too?

Yes — that’s the studio advantage. If the page is what’s burning your budget, our web and CRO teams repair it instead of reporting around it.

06Who owns the ad accounts?

You do, always — your accounts, your data, your pixel history. No hostage-taking if we ever part ways.
