Paid Media

Budget allocated by return, not by habit.

Google, Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok. Every channel has to prove, every month, that it deserves the next dollar — and when it doesn’t, the budget moves elsewhere.

Each channel serves a purpose

Where each dollar works best

Putting everything into the same channel is the most expensive and most common mistake. Below, what each one does well — and what it won’t solve.

How the budget moves

Month 1’s split is never month 6’s split

The chart is illustrative: it shows the pattern that appears when measurement is right. The channel that converts gains room; the one that doesn’t gives budget back. No attachment, no “it’s always been this way”.

Onboarding

From alignment to reporting: how a media account starts

Seven steps, in the same order in every project. The ones that depend on your sign-off are marked — no ad goes live without approval.

Step with your approval
  1. 01

    Timeline alignment and account setup

    We agree on the operation’s timeline and process and set up, together with you, the accounts and payment profiles for each platform that will run.

    Google Analytics 4 · Google Tag Manager · Google Ads · Meta Ads · LinkedIn Ads · TikTok Ads

  2. 02

    Audience briefing

    An in-depth questionnaire about who buys, why they buy and what holds the decision back — that’s what makes everything else accurate. In the same briefing we suggest conversion formats and a first list of terms and keywords for the ads.

  3. 03

    Terms and keyword research

    The briefing becomes a terms study: search intent, volume, competition and the negative keyword list that stops you paying for clicks from people who won’t buy.

    Your approval
  4. 04

    Campaign, ad and creative structure

    We build the structure of each campaign, the ad sets and ad groups, the copy and the creatives. Everything comes to you for review before a single dollar is invested.

    Your approval
  5. 05

    Ad activation

    With tracking checked and creatives approved, the campaigns go live. The first days are closely monitored, adjusting bids, audiences and terms.

  6. 06

    Custom Looker Studio report

    A dashboard with integrated data from every running ad platform, from Mailchimp — or the automation tool you use — and from your digital structure itself: website, store or platform.

  7. 07

    Optimization routine

    With the report live, budget is redistributed to what converts, and results are reviewed with you periodically.

What’s in scope

What Manáry delivers in paid media

Campaign structure by intent

Split by funnel stage and product margin, not by dashboard convenience.

Creatives in short cycles

Tests with a stated hypothesis. Each round returns a learning that becomes a decision, not just a report.

Allocation by real return

Budget redistributed by what the CRM confirms as a sale, not by what the channel dashboard claims.

Audited tracking

GTM and GA4 checked event by event before any campaign goes live.

Healthy feed and catalog

For e-commerce, the feed is half the result — and it almost always has a silent error.

Reporting that shows the numbers

How much came in, how much went out, what worked and what we got wrong in the period.

Free diagnosis

Is your budget going to the right channel?

In most accounts we audit, between 20% and 40% of the investment sits in a channel that doesn’t sustain its return. It’s worth checking before next month closes.
