Why I no longer offer paid ads management as a service

I don’t want to offer paid ads (Google, Facebook, Instagram, Meta) for you guys anymore. Sorry. But it’s not because ads don’t work.

There are a couple of reasons:

Firstly, ads don’t magically work without preparation

There are extra bits and bobs you might need… That I can’t do on my own.

Things like…

  • Business foundations. (You know what your business is. This isn’t just a feeler.)
  • A captive audience. (You know people want your stuff. This isn’t an experiment.)
  • A trustworthy website. (Your website gets sales. Ads won’t fix a broken website.)
  • Connect-worthy content. (Your brand is already proven to produce content people will stop and look at.)
  • Effective follow-through and follow-ups. (You have capacity to scale, and deliver what you promise.)

👆🏻 This is too much for one! Especially one who cares about your website too!

So yeah, I technically *could* operate the ads for you.

But I can’t coach your business, or create all the other bits you need to make ad dollars work effectively. Besides, ads are getting a little more nuanced and number-crunchy (and I’m not loving it, ha)

And secondly… it’s all the spreadsheets

I gave it a go, but sadly I don’t think my heart belongs in pivot tables.

So this is why I’ve decided to only specialise in websites.

It means I can better myself in one of the multiple pillars you need to be online.

I go into more depth about this in my podcast episode: Episode 061: Paid ads aren’t broken, but this is why I’m stepping back.
