How we run meta ads

Four phases, each anchored to a stage of the Frameleads Growth System™. Outputs below are what gets shipped at each phase — not promises about revenue, which depend on your unit economics, runway, and execution velocity.

  1. 01
    Week 1–2

    Audit + Pixel/CAPI fix

    • Pixel event hygiene (proper Purchase + Lead + AddToCart firing)
    • CAPI deployed (Cloudflare Worker or GTM Server-Side)
    • Audience inventory: custom audiences from CRM, lookalikes 1-3%, retargeting tiers
    • Initial creative brief based on past winning angles + competitor mining
  2. 02
    Week 3–8

    Launch + creative testing

    • Campaigns live (ASC+ for D2C or structured-test ABO depending on stage)
    • 20-30 creative variants in first month across hooks, formats, value-props
    • Kill-by-day-7 rules applied at spend > test budget × ROAS threshold
    • Weekly winner analysis → next-week creative briefs
  3. 03
    Month 2–4

    Scale + WhatsApp funnel

    • Winning creatives scaled with CBO; budget reallocated weekly to top 20%
    • Click-to-WhatsApp added for high-intent flows; sales-team handoff documented
    • Retargeting flows live across 7/14/30-day windows
    • Creative-supply rhythm established at 30-50 variants/month
  4. 04
    Month 4+

    Optimize

    • Audience expansion: new lookalike sources, broader interest tests
    • Creative angle library matured — winning frameworks documented
    • Quarterly review against contribution-margin target, not just ROAS
Investment + engagement

Fit check

Is Meta Ads a fit for you?

Honesty on fit before pricing. We turn down ~30% of inbound audits because the timing, runway, or product situation doesn't match the service. Better to read this section than to discover the mismatch three months in.

Built for
  • D2C brands at any stage from pre-PMF to scaled (Meta is the highest-signal-velocity channel)
  • Real-estate / service businesses where WhatsApp is the natural sales channel
  • Brands willing to commit to creative supply at 20+ variants/month
  • Teams ready for cohort-level ROAS reporting (not in-platform vanity dashboards)
Not the right fit
  • B2B businesses where LinkedIn precision matters more than Meta scale
  • Brands unable to ship creative at 20+ variants/month (Meta's algos fatigue creative every 2-4 weeks)
  • Categories where Meta has flagged compliance issues (some fintech / supplement / health claims)

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does meta ads cost in India in 2026?

Frameleads meta ads runs in three tiers — Starter (₹1.5L–₹3L/mo), Scale (₹3L–₹8L/mo), Enterprise (₹8L+/mo) — exclusive of media spend. Total monthly investment (fees + media) typically runs 3–5× fees for paid services and 1× for organic/lifecycle services. The right tier depends on your stage, the channels in play, and the cadence you want. Average CAC for this category sits in the 200–4,500 ₹ band; see the pricing breakdown below for what each tier includes.

How long until meta ads shows results?

7–30 days. Performance-channel signal arrives fastest; organic and compounding loops take 4-9 months. We track blended CAC, contribution margin as the leading indicator from week 2 so direction-of-travel is visible before quarterly reviews. Anyone promising you significant returns in week 1 is selling, not forecasting.

Is meta ads right for my business right now?

See the fit-check section below — it's the honest answer for meta ads. About 30% of inbound audits don't proceed because the timing, runway, or product situation doesn't match the service. We tell prospects that openly. The five-minute version: meta ads is a fit when you have proven product-market fit, ≥6 months of runway, and a clear north-star metric. Read the full criteria below before booking.

What's different about Frameleads' meta ads?

Three operational differences: (1) the same senior operator works on your account weekly, not just at kickoff — junior media buyers run execution under senior supervision. (2) Attribution stack always includes server-side instrumentation (CAPI / GTM Server-Side / GA4) — no Meta-Pixel-only reporting. (3) Creative supply pipeline ships 20-50 variants/month minimum at Scale tier — the highest-leverage variable in paid media in 2026. The full methodology is documented openly on the Frameleads Growth System™ pillar.

Do you guarantee ROAS, lead volume, or revenue?

No. ROAS depends on product, AOV, audience, market dynamics, and creative execution — none of which the agency fully controls. We commit to execution standards (creative variants per month, attribution rigor, reporting cadence, transparency on ad accounts) — not specific outcomes. Anyone in this category promising you a specific future ROAS in writing is selling, not forecasting. Walk away from guarantees.

What happens if we want to leave?

30 days written notice, in either direction. On exit we transfer ad accounts + creative source files + analytics dashboards + documented SOPs to your in-house team. We expect clients to outgrow us in 18-24 months and move meta ads in-house — that's healthy, not a failure mode. Lock-in contracts signal weak operators. See /how-we-audit for the engagement onboarding + exit flow.

Will the senior operator I meet at the audit actually run my account?

Yes — that's a policy, not a sales line. The audit is run by a senior Frameleads operator (typically Ajsal Abbas for high-priority categories, otherwise a senior strategist). The same person stays on the account through the engagement, with junior media buyers / content producers handling execution under their direction. We hold senior-operator load at 3-4 active retainers per person so attention scales.
