Meta Ads - Creekside Marketing

Turn Facebook & Instagram Into a Growth Engine

We've managed over $20 million in ad spend for businesses of all sizes. Meta Ads is one of only two things we do, and every account gets the same system: real tracking, a structured creative testing engine, and optimization toward revenue instead of vanity metrics.

Every campaign is run by a senior Meta specialist with an in-house creative team behind them. No juniors, no templates, no autopilot.

Why Most Meta Ads Underperform

We've audited over 200 ad accounts. The same problems show up again and again, and they all drain budget quietly. Our system is built to fix every one of them in the first weeks of an engagement.

Tracking broke and nobody noticed

iOS privacy changes gutted browser-based tracking. Most accounts are feeding Meta bad data, so the algorithm optimizes toward the wrong people.

One or two creatives run until they die

Creative is the biggest lever on Meta. Without a structured testing engine, ads fatigue, costs climb, and nobody knows what to launch next.

Boosted posts instead of real structure

Boosting posts and guessing at interests is not a strategy. Winning accounts are built on deliberate campaign structure and audience architecture.

Reports full of vanity metrics

Reach and engagement look nice in a PDF. If reporting is not tied to leads and revenue, you cannot tell whether the ads are actually working.

Everything Your Meta Account Actually Needs

Full-service management. One team handles strategy, creative, tracking, and optimization end to end.

01

Strategy & Funnel Mapping

We map your full customer journey before spending a dollar, so every campaign has a specific job: cold traffic, retargeting, or conversion.

02

Creative Production & Testing

Our in-house designers produce ad creatives built to convert, then we test them head to head so winners scale and losers get cut fast.

03

Audience Architecture

Layered audiences built from your customer data, lookalikes, and Meta's broad targeting, structured so the algorithm can find real buyers.

04

Pixel, CAPI & Server-Side Tracking

Meta Pixel plus the Conversions API with server-side, first-party tracking, so Meta learns from accurate data even after iOS changes.

05

Offline Conversions From Your CRM

We feed closed deals and real revenue from your CRM back into Meta, so bidding optimizes toward customers, not just form fills.

06

Weekly Optimization & Scaling

Budgets, bids, audiences, and creative rotations reviewed every week by the specialist who runs your account, not a dashboard on autopilot.

What the First 90 Days Look Like

No mystery, no black box. Here is exactly how a new Meta Ads engagement unfolds.

Week 1

Foundation

Tracking rebuilt and verified, account restructured, first round of creatives produced, and campaigns launched.

Weeks 2-4

Testing

Structured creative and audience tests to find what converts for your business. Losers cut fast, winners identified.

Month 2
