Google Ads vs Meta Ads: Where Should You Invest or Do You Need Both?
Wondering if your budget belongs in Google Ads, Meta Ads or a mix of both? Learn how each channel works, when to use them and how to build a smart, high-performing paid strategy.
-
Start by getting clear on your ideal customers, what problems you solve for them and what you want to achieve. Then set a simple budget and timeline. This clarity stops you wasting money on random activity. A great place to start is my Brand Audit or 90 minute Strategy Call.
-
If you’re unsure what to say, who you’re targeting or where to spend your budget, work with a marketing consultant first. If you already have a clear brand, message and strategy, and you know the best way to communicate this externally, you can go straight to a designer.
-
When your current site no longer reflects who you are, doesn’t convert visitors into customers or feels hard to update. A website refresh is also a great time to revisit your brand and marketing plan.
-
Choose the channels your ideal customers already use and test a few options. A consultant can help you prioritise where your dollars will work hardest so you avoid spreading yourself too thin.
-
Yes! I specialise in turning business ideas into actionable marketing plans with clear next steps, goals & milestones, budgets and timelines you can follow with confidence.
-
I act as your marketing department -helping you with strategy, brand positioning, activity planning, resourcing and connecting you with trusted creatives to get it all done.
-
You should be tracking simple metrics such as website traffic, leads, sales or engagement depending on your goals. I help set up basic reporting so you can see what’s working and adjust when needed.
-
Before you brief a designer, be clear on your brand personality, your messaging, your customer journey and what you are trying to achieve. A marketing consultant like me can help you get this right so you don’t waste money redesigning twice.
-
There’s no one-size-fits-all, but a good starting point is 5–10% of revenue. What matters most is that your spend is planned, targeted and measured so you know what you’re getting back. Perhaps think about marketing being a profit centre, not a cost centre.
-
That’s exactly where I come in. You can “borrow” my expertise to create a plan, set up campaigns and manage projects, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
