Facebook and Instagram ads that find you new customers.

You turn Facebook and Instagram into a way to create demand: ad-led campaigns that both find new customers and win back interested ones, measured against the actual profit each sale makes rather than Facebook's flattering idea of who to credit.

Paid ads, per platform

Meta Ads: one platform included, each extra priced per platform.

Paid and AI ads is a full discipline, and your retainer includes one ad platform, fully managed. Running additional platforms alongside the first adds a management fee from £400 + VAT a month each, with a one-off £400 + VAT onboarding and a three-month minimum. Your media is paid directly to the platform, with no markup on your spend.

How the add-on works
  • Management is priced per platform, from £400 + VAT a month each, so you only pay for the platforms you actually run.
  • A one-off onboarding fee of £400 + VAT covers the account setup, conversion tracking and the first build.
  • No markup on your media: you pay the ad platform directly. Three-month minimum, then it runs month to month on a 30-day cancellation notice.

The short answer

BrisTechTonic is a Bristol SEO agency offering meta ads that gets UK businesses found on Google, the local map pack and the AI assistants they now ask, like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Meta is where you create demand rather than just capture it: the right message to the right people, before they are even searching. We run Facebook and Instagram ads-first, testing different approaches against real profit and being honest about what genuinely made a difference, because Facebook's tracking tends to take credit for sales you would have won anyway. Media is paid directly to Meta, with no markup.

What we do

How do we do Meta Ads? Six things, in this order.

01

Model the economics

What a customer is worth and what you can afford to pay to win one, so the ads and audiences are judged against real profit, not figures that just look good.

02

Get the tracking right

Clean, privacy-friendly tracking, plus an honest read on what genuinely made a difference, so winning back existing interest is not credited for sales you already had.

03

Build a stream of ads to test

Different angles, hooks and formats made to be tested, the single biggest driver of results on Meta, and the one most agencies neglect.

04

Find new customers first

Put most of the budget into reaching new people, where the growth is, rather than hiding behind an audience that already knows you.

05

Test, kill, scale

Ads tested in a steady cycle; winners given more budget, losers dropped, without sentiment.

06

Check it against real sales

An overall read against your own customer records every month, not Facebook's own conversion figures.

What is live, and what is not
We label every discipline: live, emerging, or partner-delivered. The status on this page is the honest one. We will tell you exactly what we can measure and deliver for you before you buy it, and we will not claim guaranteed placement in an AI answer, because nobody can deliver that.
The maths of paid

Buying intent is up for auction. Paid puts you at the front of it.

These are industry figures, not our own results, and we do not invent numbers. They show why intent-led paid can pay for itself where broad awareness spend does not. We manage to contribution margin, and no return is ever guaranteed.

Is it for you

Is Meta Ads worth doing for you?

Do this if

Your buyers can be moved by the right message before they are actively searching.You have, or are willing to build, a steady supply of ads to test.You want to grow the number of new people discovering you, not just advertise to people who would have bought anyway.

Do not bother if

You only need to catch people already searching for you. Start with Google Ads.You cannot keep up a supply of ads, in-house or through us.Your profit margins cannot carry the cost of building demand before it starts to pay off.

How we measure it

How do we measure Meta Ads? The same numbers, the same way, every month.

Fixed at the start of the engagement so the reporting cannot be reshaped later to flatter the result. Whether they moved or not, they are in the report.

Measure 01

Return on your ad spend

Profit made against money spent on ads, read overall rather than by Facebook's last click.

Measure 02

Cost per qualified lead or sale

What it costs to win a customer worth having, tracked across the quarter.

Measure 03

How often new ads win

How often a tested ad beats the current best, the thing that drives everything else on Meta.

Measure 04

What winning back customers really adds

How much advertising to people who already know you genuinely adds, so it is not credited for sales you already had.

You keep what's yours

Your site, content, Google Business Profile and analytics stay in your name. We work with what you already have; nothing is held hostage.

03

A clean handover

We map the work across, set a plain-English baseline in the first few weeks, and carry on from there. No starting from zero, no quiet ranking gap.

Three-month minimum, then rolling monthly on 30 days’ notice. No long lock-in, no exit fees.

Discipline questions

What do clients ask us about Meta Ads?

Isn't Meta just for ecommerce?

No. Business-to-business sales that take time, and higher-value consumer products, both work on Meta when it is run to build demand with honest measurement, rather than as a discount machine.

Who makes the creative?

We plan and direct the ads, and can make them or work with your team. The ads themselves are the main driver of results, so an experienced person leads them, not left to chance.

Do you charge a percentage of spend?

No. Media is paid directly to Meta and our fee does not scale with your budget.

How is this different from your Paid programme?

It is the Meta-only version. If you also want Google or Microsoft, the Paid & AI ads programme runs them together to one profit-focused plan.

Do Facebook ads work for business customers?

Yes, when they are run to build demand with honest measurement rather than as a discount machine. Business-to-business works on Meta by putting the right message in front of the right people before they are searching, measured against real profit, not Facebook's last click.

How much do Meta ads cost?

Meta cost is set by your market and your ads, not a fixed rate. We judge it on the profit made per pound spent, read overall against your own records rather than Facebook's tracking, and pay media directly to Meta with no markup on your spend.

“The guys at BrisTechTonic are great - friendly and always helpful. I would highly recommend!”

Allanah Fenwick

“I've had the pleasure of working with Chris on several SEO projects for my websites in the health field. He was definitely been able to demystify things so that I felt able to make decisions with him and feel confident they were the right ones. For a non-techie, that is worth gold! I look forward to working with Chris again and warmly recommend him to anyone who - like me - is unsure about all things SEO.”

Biliana Avramova

“I was recommended by my branding partner to use Chris and his team last year. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They are very responsive , easy to communicate with and great at translating techy stuff when needed. They are now an essential part of my business model”
