Paid Ads Management

Meta ads that know who they're talking to, run for you.

For founders spending $1,000 to $10,000 a month on Facebook and Instagram ads. We research your audience, write for every stage of their decision, and manage the campaigns, so your budget reaches the people most likely to buy.

The Social Charlotte, marketing strategy for founders · Charlotte, NC and nationwide

Why most ads stall

The ads aren't broken. They just don't know who they're for.

Most ad accounts we inherit are built around "people who might be interested." Every campaign says the same thing to everyone, so it lands with no one in particular. Spending more doesn't fix it. In our own case study, the two biggest-budget months had some of the weakest results.

What fixes it is research. We name the three or four people you're really trying to reach, then write ads for each stage of their decision, from noticing the problem to being ready to buy.

What this looked like for one client

4×more people clicking the ads, on the same audiences

I got the vibe that Social Charlotte was creating real relationships with real clients and their real businesses. Not just posting for the unfaced masses.
