One-off setup · Booked through a free call
Set Up and Go
Set Up and Go is a one-off setup for owners spending less than about £600 a month on ads, or starting a new account. I set up tracking, build the campaign structure, work out your true break-even target and hand it over so you can run it yourself. You book it through a free call, where I quote it.
Is Set Up and Go right for you?
- You spend under about £600 a month on ads, or you're about to start
- You're happy to run the ads yourself once they're set up properly
- You were quoted a management fee that looked bigger than the likely return
- You've run ads before and couldn't tell whether they worked
What do I set up?
The things that decide whether small-budget ads can work: conversion tracking you can trust, revenue tracking if you sell online, a campaign structure that suits a small budget and a break-even target that tells you whether ads are making money. Then I show you how to run it.
What you get
- Tracking set up and checked against your own records
- Campaigns built for your budget
- Your true break-even ROAS or cost per lead
- A handover so you can run and check it yourself
- An account in your name that you own outright
Worth knowing: This is a proper setup and a handover, done once. It's a different job from ongoing management, priced as one-off work.
How it runs
A free call to agree scope, a written quote, then setup and handover. It covers Google Ads and Meta, for online stores and service businesses.
From experience

Seehab AhmedFounder, Stratus Growth
Many small business owners are sold management they can't afford. £15 to £20 a day of ad spend plus a management fee rarely breaks even, and the usual break-even figure leaves the fee out.
I'd rather take one-off money for work that can succeed at your budget than a retainer that can't pay you back.
