Performance Marketing

Performance marketing that measures sales, not just ad spend

If you can't see which campaign turns into revenue, optimisation is guesswork. Encode fixes tracking first, then moves budget to what pays back. Across Google Ads, Meta and TikTok, with GA4, Pixel and Conversions API.

Illustrative view; real figures are pulled from your own accounts on the review call.

Who this is for

  1. Advertisers who can't see results.

    The dashboard shows clicks and impressions, not which sale came from which ad.

  2. Teams spending more without earning more.

    Costs keep rising while ROAS stalls or drops.

  3. Businesses where marketing and sales don't share data.

    The agency reports form fills; sales says the leads are poor. Nobody looks at the same numbers.

Scope

  • Account and tracking audit

    One report showing current structure, conversion definitions and wasted spend.

  • Conversion tracking setup

    GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Conversions API, measuring sales and leads accurately and without duplicates.

  • Google Ads management

    Search, Performance Max and Shopping campaigns structured around high-intent queries.

  • Meta and TikTok ads

    Audience, creative and bidding tests on a steady cycle, scaling what wins.

  • Budget and ROAS management

    Budget allocated by real return per channel and campaign; weak spend gets cut.

  • Reporting

    Board-level reports that tie ad spend to sales data in your CRM.

FAQ

Common questions

What should I look for in a Google Ads agency?

Start with tracking: can the agency connect ads to real sales in your CRM? Then check that ad accounts are opened in your name and that reports focus on revenue and cost, not clicks. At Encode, ad accounts and data always belong to the client.

What is performance marketing?

Performance marketing is an approach that manages ad budget against measurable outcomes such as sales, leads or bookings. Success is judged by what each unit of spend returns, not by impressions or clicks.

Why do I need Meta Conversions API?

Browser restrictions and ad blockers mean Pixel-only tracking misses conversions. Conversions API sends conversion data to Meta server-side, so the algorithm learns from more complete data. Pixel and CAPI should run together with deduplication.

How soon will I see results?

Once tracking is fixed, your reports start filling with accurate data. Campaign optimisation needs test data to build up before it settles; how long that takes depends on your budget, industry and scope, and is confirmed in the review call.

How much does ad management cost?

Fees depend on your business size, number of channels and scope; they're confirmed during the review call. Ad spend is paid directly from your own account to the platforms.
