Common Questions
Performance Marketing FAQs
What is performance marketing, and how is it different from digital marketing?
+
Digital marketing is the whole field — content, social, SEO, email, ads. Performance marketing is the subset where you pay for a measurable action and judge it on cost per outcome rather than reach. Every rupee is traceable to a click, a lead or a sale. That makes it the fastest channel to prove or disprove, which is exactly why it is usually the first place we look when a business needs pipeline this quarter.
What ad budget do I need to start?
+
Enough for the platforms to actually learn, which in most categories in India means a meaningful monthly spend rather than a token test. Too small a budget produces data too noisy to act on, and you end up concluding a channel does not work when you never gave it a chance to. We will tell you honestly if your budget is below the floor for your category instead of taking the retainer anyway.
How long before I see results?
+
Traffic and leads can start within days. Reliable results take longer — the first four to six weeks are largely learning: which audiences respond, which creative earns the click, which landing page converts. Judging a campaign in week two is the most common and most expensive mistake, because the algorithm is still exploring and the numbers you are reacting to are not yet real.
Do you run Google Ads and Meta Ads, or just one?
+
Both, and they do different jobs. Google captures people already searching for what you sell — high intent, limited volume, priced accordingly. Meta creates demand among people who were not looking, which is cheaper per click but needs stronger creative and a longer path to conversion. Most accounts need both; which gets the larger share depends on your category, not on habit.
Who writes the ad creative?
+
We do — copy and visuals, produced against the campaign rather than adapted from whatever exists. On Meta especially, creative is the largest single lever on performance; targeting matters far less than it used to now that the platforms optimise delivery themselves. We plan for a steady flow of new creative, because fatigue is real and the same ad stops working long before you get bored of it.
How do you track and attribute results?
+
Conversion tracking, server-side events where the platform supports it, and UTM discipline so reporting is not guesswork. We set this up before spending, not after — retrofitting tracking onto a running campaign means the first month of data is unusable. We are also honest about attribution's limits: with iOS restrictions and multi-touch journeys, no platform report is the whole truth, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something.
Do you also fix the landing page, or only run the ads?
+
Both, because they are the same problem. Sending expensive traffic to a page that loads slowly or buries the form is the quickest way to waste a budget, and it is usually cheaper to fix the page than to keep bidding harder. Landing pages, funnel structure and conversion rate work sit inside the engagement rather than being someone else's department.
What do your reports actually show?
+
Spend, cost per lead or acquisition, conversion rate, and return on ad spend — plus what we changed and why. Impressions and clicks are context, not the headline; they are the easiest numbers to make look impressive and tell you the least about whether the money worked. If a month went badly, the report says so and says what we are changing.
