What is Meta advertising management?

Meta advertising management is the planning, buying, creative testing and optimization of paid ads on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger. Black Box Social Media has run Meta campaigns since 2010, has managed over $250M in ad spend, and measures them on leads, sales and return on ad spend, not likes or clicks.

  • 10–11,000books sold through Facebook ads for one NYT bestseller launch (client’s figure)

Cheap Clicks Don’t Pay Payroll.

Most Meta accounts we review are optimized for the wrong number. Cost per click looks fine. Cost per sale is a mystery.

The fix is rarely a new hack. It is clean tracking, a steady supply of tested creative, and campaigns judged on what they put in the bank.

What We Run for You

  1. 01

    Strategy and offer review

    We check the offer, audience and economics before spending a dollar, and set a target cost per acquisition.

  2. 02

    Tracking you can trust

    Meta Pixel and Conversions API set up and checked against your CRM, so the numbers in the ad account match real leads and sales.

    Matthew F.Matthew Ferry International
We had gone 12 months with our prior agency not seeing a single customer and hardly any leads at all. And in a matter of just a few weeks of working with [Curt] and Nick, we were able to dial in the exact copy, creative, and targeting that started to generate not just leads, but the lowest cost leads I’ve ever seen in any business that I’ve worked in.

Meta Advertising Questions

What does a Meta ads agency do?

A Meta ads agency sets campaign strategy, builds audiences, produces and tests ad creative, manages budgets and bidding, sets up tracking (Pixel and Conversions API), and reports on cost per lead, cost per acquisition and return on ad spend.

How much should I spend on Facebook and Instagram ads?

Budget depends on your offer price, conversion rates and goals. We size a test budget around your target cost per acquisition, prove the economics, then scale. On the strategy call we give you a specific recommendation. There’s no minimum ad spend: we have offers for businesses at every level.

How long until Meta ads show results?

Expect an initial testing period of a few weeks while creative and audiences are validated. Meaningful, scalable results usually follow once the funnel and follow-up convert well. We share early indicators weekly.

Do you also run Google and YouTube ads?

Yes. Meta is our specialty, and we also run Google and YouTube retargeting so prospects who engaged on Meta keep seeing your message.

Who owns the ad account and data?

You do. We work inside your Business Manager and ad accounts with partner access, so your pixel data, audiences and history stay with your business.
