02.02 / Grow

Paid media.

Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns run by the same senior team that builds the site they point at. Measurement is repaired before any budget moves, landing pages are built on your own stack, and the media budget is paid by you directly to the platforms.

What it is

Paid media is the part of GROW that buys attention: search campaigns on Google, paid social on Meta and LinkedIn, shopping campaigns when there is a catalogue, and the landing pages and measurement those campaigns need before anyone can judge them on data. The same people who build your site run the ads, so a broken form or a slow hero image gets fixed, not reported. We take the work when there is something real to sell and a page worth sending traffic to. If the site cannot convert, we say so before you spend.

How we do it

We start with measurement, not creative. That means reading the account as it is: which campaigns actually run, where budget lands by device and by campaign, whether the conversion tag fires once and with the right value, whether the item ids in the product feed match the ones in the tracking. In audits we have found accounts where the conversion tag had silently stopped recording purchases and almost all the spend was going to the device that converted worst. No creative fixes that.

Then we rebuild the parts that decide the outcome: consent-aware GA4 and Google Ads tagging, the Meta pixel and Conversions API where it applies, product feeds generated from the same data the site uses, UTM parameters written into your own database next to the lead. After that we run a small number of clearly named campaigns, with a written hypothesis behind every change.

What you get

What you take away.

Everything is written down before we start, and everything stays in accounts your company owns.

01Deliverables

  1. 01

    Account and tracking audit: live campaigns, budget split by device and campaign, conversion tags, and parity between product feed ids and tracking ids

  2. 02

    GA4, Google Ads and Meta conversion tracking rebuilt with consent handling, and events named after real business actions (form sent, order placed, call started)

  3. 03

    Search, shopping and paid social campaigns built and operated on Google, Meta and, for B2B audiences, LinkedIn

  4. 04

    Product feeds generated at build time for Google Merchant Center, Meta and Pinterest, kept in sync with the site catalogue

  5. 05

    Landing pages on your own stack (Vite, React, Tailwind on Vercel), pre-rendered per language, mobile first

  6. 06

    Leads and UTM parameters written into your own database, exportable at any time

  7. 07

    One monthly report that puts platform-reported conversions next to your database records and explains the gap, with the decisions taken and the next test

  8. 08

    Media budget kept separate from the fee: accounts in your name, paid directly to the platforms

02How it runs

  1. 01 · Week 1 to 2

    Audit and baseline

    We fetch your site the way GPTBot, Claude, PerplexityBot and Googlebot fetch it, read Search Console and analytics, check the structured data against the visible text, and run a panel of buyer prompts to see where you appear today. The output is a written baseline and a ranked list of findings.

  2. 02 · Week 3 to 6

    Fix at the source

    We work in the repository: real HTML per route, the schema.org graph, hreflang, sitemap, robots and page speed. Every fix ships as a pull request with the test that proves it, so the same problem does not come back on the next deploy.

  3. 03 · Month 2 onwards

    Content and campaigns

    We publish focused pages that each answer one buyer question, in every language you sell in, and run paid advertising where it is the fastest way to test a message. Volume is set by the retainer, so you know in advance what a month contains.

  4. 04 · Every month

    Measure, report, repeat

    Each month we re-run the audit and the prompt panel, compare against the baseline, and report clicks, impressions, average position and assistant referrals in your client portal. Then we agree the next month's list with you before touching anything.

Who it is for

We don't take every project.

We would rather tell you now than halfway through. If you recognise yourself on the left, let's talk.

It fits if

  • Your site already exists and your buyers search on Google or ask ChatGPT
  • You want the fixes made in the code, not a keyword report
  • You are happy to measure every month against a recorded baseline
  • You can give access to the site, Search Console and analytics

It is not for you if

  • You want a guaranteed first position or a guaranteed mention in ChatGPT
  • You want to buy links or publish unreviewed text in bulk
  • You expect results within a week
  • Nobody can touch the code of your site, and there are no plans to change that

Timing and budget

How we quote.

No price list and no hourly billing during a build. After a short call you get a written quote for your project.

Timeline
First campaigns are usually live two to four weeks after kick-off: about one week for the account and tracking audit, one to three more for landing pages and product feeds. Reviewed every month, with three months as the minimum period.
Team
The account is run by our team: campaigns, creative, video, copy in each language, measurement and the monthly report. Pedro Ciordia, CTO, sets up the tracking and reviews the measurement, so the figures in the report are ones you can check.
How the price is set
A fixed monthly management fee, plus a one-off setup when tracking, feeds or landing pages have to be built. It runs on top of a Care retainer. Media budget is separate and paid by you directly to the platforms. If the funnel needs rethinking first, it starts with a Discovery Sprint. Quoted privately after a call.

FAQ

What people ask us.

How much does it cost to have an agency run my Google and Meta ads?
Polargate charges a fixed monthly management fee, plus a one-off setup when tracking, product feeds or landing pages have to be built. It runs on top of a Care retainer. Your media budget is separate and paid by you directly to the platforms, so the fee does not grow when your spend does. More markets, more languages or a larger catalogue move the fee up, and we quote that in writing before starting. Tell us your markets and catalogue and you get a private quote.
How long does it take to get campaigns running, and when can I judge them?
Campaigns are usually live two to four weeks after kick-off: roughly one week for the account and tracking audit, one to three more for landing pages and feeds. Judging them takes longer. We review the account every month and treat the first three months as the real read, because a campaign measured over three weeks is measured on noise rather than on demand.
Do you take a percentage of ad spend?
No. The fee is fixed monthly and the budget sits in accounts you own and pay directly. A percentage rewards an agency for spending more of your money, which is the opposite of what you hired it for, and it hides the cost of the work itself. If the right decision is to halve the budget or pause a channel, we can say so without losing income.
Why do Google Ads, Meta and GA4 all report different conversion numbers?
Because each platform counts the conversions it believes it caused, in its own window and with its own model, and consent banners remove part of the data on top of that. The numbers will never match. Our answer is to write your leads and orders into your own database with their UTM parameters, then report the platform figures next to that record and explain the gap instead of picking the flattering number.
Who owns the ad accounts and the lead data?
You do. Google Ads, Merchant Center, GA4, Meta and LinkedIn accounts stay in your company name with you as administrator, and Polargate works inside them with the access it needs. Leads land in your own database, in your own infrastructure, exportable at any time. If you stop working with us, you keep the accounts, the history and the landing pages, with nothing to migrate.
Can you run campaigns in Spanish, English and Dutch?
Yes. Polargate works natively in the three languages, and campaigns are written per market rather than translated word for word from one original. Landing pages are published as separate pre-rendered URLs per language with correct hreflang, so the ad, the page and the form say the same thing. Creative production in other languages goes through specialists from the team.
