In short

Google is for people who are already searching. Meta (Instagram and Facebook) is for people who do not yet know they need you. The combination often works best. You set the ad budget, we set up the campaigns and keep improving them.

Two ways to new customers

Example (illustration): an ad on Google on the left, on Instagram or Facebook on the right. Text in [brackets] is a placeholder.
  • Google ads: you appear at the top of Google when someone searches, for example, “jet ski Bar”. These people already want the service.
  • Meta ads: your offer appears on Instagram and Facebook to people by place, age and interests (target audience) while they scroll.
  • You control the budget: you pay the ad budget directly to Google or Meta. We set up, monitor and improve the campaigns.

Google or Instagram?

If people are already looking for you: Google. If they still have to get to know you: Instagram and Facebook.

We often recommend both. The difference to SEO matters: ads bring visitors immediately, but you pay for every click. SEO takes longer but brings visitors you do not pay for per click. The two complement each other.

What we do for you

  • Campaign setup: accounts, enquiry tracking and settings
  • Target audience: who, where and when should see the ad
  • Ad text and images: we write and design the ads, multilingual on request
  • Optimisation: what does not work we stop, what brings enquiries we strengthen
  • Monthly report: how much was spent, how many clicks and enquiries
From goal to enquiry: the process.

Who benefits most from ads

  • Tourism in season: tours, rentals, holiday apartments.
  • New businesses that need customers right away, not in three months.
  • Promotions and offers: new menu, seasonal offer, opening.

The budget for the ads comes on top of our work and goes directly to Google or Meta, so you see exactly where every euro goes. The service is under Google and Meta ads, the terms on the prices page. The big picture is in the article Marketing agency.
