Can you improve my existing Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns?

Yes! If you’ve already tried Facebook and Instagram advertising but aren’t getting the results you expected, we can help you identify potential areas for improvement. You don’t necessarily need to start from scratch, as reviewing your existing campaigns can often provide useful insights into what’s working and what might need changing. At Shine On Digital, we’ll look at how your campaigns are set up, including your target audience, advertising creative, messaging, budget and campaign objectives. We’ll also review the available performance data to understand how people are responding to your adverts and whether they’re helping you achieve your goals. For example, your adverts might be reaching plenty of people but generating very few enquiries. Alternatively, you could be getting clicks without seeing many conversions on your website. By examining the available data, we can look for possible reasons behind these results and identify changes that may help improve performance. This could involve refining your audience, testing different images or messages, reviewing your budget or adjusting your campaign objectives. We’ll explain our findings in straightforward language and recommend practical next steps based on your business goals. Any changes will depend on what the review reveals, as there isn’t a single solution that works for every campaign. Whether you’ve been managing your own adverts or previously worked with another agency, we’re happy to discuss your experience and explore how we could help. Our aim is to make your Facebook and Instagram advertising work harder for your business, with a clearer strategy, ongoing monitoring and decisions guided by performance rather than guesswork.

Can Facebook and Instagram adverts generate leads and enquiries, rather than just likes?

Absolutely! Facebook and Instagram advertising can do much more than increase likes and engagement. With the right campaign objectives, adverts can be designed to encourage potential customers to take meaningful actions, such as visiting your website, completing a contact form, enquiring about a service or making a purchase. The key is to plan your campaign around what you want your advertising to achieve. If your goal is to generate enquiries, for example, we can create adverts that highlight your services, explain the benefits of working with your business and encourage people to get in touch. Depending on your objectives, we can direct people to your website, use lead forms or encourage them to contact your business through suitable messaging options. It’s also important to reach the right audience. By considering factors such as location, interests and your ideal customer profile, we can help your adverts reach people who may be interested in what you offer. We’ll then monitor campaign performance to see which adverts are generating useful results, rather than focusing solely on likes or impressions. At Shine On Digital, we’ll help you develop Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns with clear objectives and measurable outcomes. While results will depend on factors such as your budget, audience and offer, our focus is on helping you make the most of your advertising spend and supporting your wider business goals.

Do I need to provide images and content for my adverts?

Not necessarily! At Shine On Digital, we’ll work with you to develop advertising content that reflects your business and supports your campaign objectives. If you already have photographs, videos, branding or marketing materials you’d like to use, we can explore how to incorporate these into your adverts. If you’re unsure what type of content would work best, we’ll help you consider the options. Depending on your business and campaign goals, this could include eye-catching images, short videos, promotional graphics or engaging advertising copy that explains what you offer and encourages people to take action. It’s helpful if you can provide information about your products or services, your target customers and what makes your business different. The more we understand about your business, the easier it is to create relevant adverts that speak to the right audience. You don’t need to have everything prepared before getting in touch. We’ll discuss your requirements, explain what’s needed and help you develop an advertising approach that works for your business.

How long does it take to see results from Facebook and Instagram advertising?

The time it takes to see results from Facebook and Instagram advertising depends on your campaign objectives, budget, target audience and the products or services you’re promoting. Some campaigns may start generating clicks or enquiries relatively quickly, while others need more time to build awareness and establish what works best. When a campaign first launches, it’s important to give it time to gather performance data. This helps us understand how people are responding to your adverts and whether your targeting, messaging and creative are reaching the right audience. At Shine On Digital, we monitor campaign performance and make adjustments where needed to improve results. This might involve testing different adverts, refining your target audience or adjusting your budget based on what’s working. Although we can’t guarantee specific results or a particular timescale, we’ll help you understand how your campaign is performing and identify opportunities to make improvements. Our aim is to make informed decisions that help you get the most from your Facebook and Instagram advertising budget.

Can Shine On Digital manage my Facebook and Instagram advertising for me?

Yes! At Shine On Digital, we offer a fully managed Meta advertising service, taking care of your Facebook and Instagram campaigns from initial planning and setup through to ongoing monitoring and optimisation. We’ll start by getting to know your business, your target audience and what you want to achieve through advertising. Whether your aim is to increase brand awareness, attract new customers, generate enquiries or promote a particular product or service, we’ll use this information to develop a campaign that supports your goals. We’ll help you decide where to advertise, recommend a suitable budget and create engaging adverts designed to capture attention and encourage people to take action. We’ll also manage the campaign through Meta Ads Manager, monitor performance and make adjustments where needed to help you get the most from your advertising spend. You don’t need to be an advertising expert or spend your time trying to work out which settings to choose. We’ll take care of the technical details and day-to-day campaign management, keeping you informed about performance and any changes we recommend. Your advertising spend and our management fees are separate, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. Whether you’re new to Facebook and Instagram advertising or have run campaigns before without achieving the results you wanted, we’re here to help. We’ll work with you to find an approach that suits your business, budget and objectives, without unnecessary complexity or confusing marketing jargon.

How do I know if my Facebook and Instagram adverts are working?

We believe it’s important that you understand how your advertising budget is being spent and what results your campaigns are achieving. Facebook and Instagram advertising shouldn’t just be about getting your business in front of more people. It should have a clear purpose and support your wider business goals. To measure performance, we monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as reach, impressions, clicks, website visits, enquiries, leads and cost per result. The metrics we focus on will depend on what your campaign is designed to achieve. For example, a campaign aimed at increasing brand awareness will be measured differently from one designed to generate enquiries or sales. We also look beyond the headline figures to understand how your adverts are performing. A high number of clicks might look promising, but it’s important to consider whether those clicks are leading to meaningful actions, such as contacting your business, completing a form or making a purchase. This helps us assess whether your advertising is delivering value, rather than simply generating activity. At Shine On Digital, we regularly review campaign performance and make adjustments where needed. This might involve refining your target audience, testing different advert designs or messages, or adjusting your budget to focus on the approaches that are delivering the most promising results. Although no advertising campaign can guarantee specific outcomes, monitoring performance gives us valuable information to help guide decisions and improve your campaigns over time. We’ll keep you informed about how your adverts are performing, explain what the figures mean for your business and help you understand where your advertising budget is making an impact.

Do I need to advertise on both Facebook and Instagram?

Not necessarily! Facebook and Instagram are both part of Meta, which means we can manage advertising across both platforms through Meta Ads Manager. However, that doesn’t mean you need to advertise on both to get good results. The best approach depends on your business, your target audience and what you want your advertising to achieve. For example, Facebook may be a good fit for reaching certain local audiences and promoting services, while Instagram can be particularly useful for businesses with visual products, such as fashion, beauty, food or creative services. Of course, there’s plenty of overlap between the two platforms, so it’s worth considering where your potential customers spend their time rather than relying on assumptions. Advertising across both platforms can help you reach a wider audience and test which placements deliver the best results. However, if your budget is limited, focusing on the most suitable audience and campaign objectives may be a better starting point than spreading your spend too thinly. At Shine On Digital, we’ll help you decide which platforms make the most sense for your business. We’ll consider your goals, audience and budget before recommending an approach, whether that’s Facebook, Instagram or a combination of both. We’ll then monitor campaign performance and make adjustments based on the results, helping you get the most from your advertising spend.

What’s the difference between boosting a Facebook post and running a Meta Ads campaign?

Boosting a Facebook post is a quick and straightforward way to increase its visibility and reach more people. It’s often used to promote an existing post, share an announcement or help more people discover your business. You can choose a budget, select an audience and decide how long you want the boosted post to run. However, boosting a post offers fewer options than creating a campaign through Meta Ads Manager. While it can be useful for increasing engagement and awareness, it may not give you all the tools you need to achieve more specific marketing objectives. Meta Ads Manager allows you to create more targeted Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns, with greater control over your audience, placements, budget and campaign objectives. You can test different adverts, compare their performance and make adjustments based on what’s working. Depending on your goals, campaigns can be designed to encourage website visits, generate leads, attract enquiries or increase sales. Another important difference is performance tracking. Meta Ads Manager provides reporting tools that help you understand how people are responding to your adverts and whether your budget is being used effectively. This information can guide decisions about which adverts to continue running and where changes may be needed. At Shine On Digital, we focus on creating and managing targeted advertising campaigns rather than simply boosting posts. We’ll help you choose an approach that supports your business goals, reach the right audience and monitor performance, so your advertising has a clear purpose beyond simply getting more likes.

Can Facebook and Instagram advertising help me attract local customers?

Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of Facebook and Instagram advertising is the ability to target people in specific locations, making it a useful option for businesses looking to attract local customers. Whether you’re looking to reach potential customers in Rossendale, across Lancashire or further afield, we can create targeted advertising campaigns designed to put your business in front of people in your chosen area. This is particularly useful for local service providers, shops, restaurants and other businesses that rely on customers within a specific geographical area. You can also refine your audience using factors such as age, interests and behaviours, depending on your campaign objectives and the targeting options available. This helps you focus your advertising on people who are more likely to be interested in what you offer, rather than spending your budget reaching a broad, unrelated audience. Local Facebook and Instagram advertising can help increase awareness of your business, promote specific services or offers, encourage website visits and generate enquiries. While results will depend on your audience, budget and advertising content, a well-planned campaign can be a valuable addition to your local marketing strategy. At Shine On Digital, we’ll help you identify your target audience, choose suitable locations and develop a campaign that supports your business goals. Whether you want to build awareness locally or attract new customers, we’ll help you make the most of your advertising budget.

How much does it cost to advertise on Facebook and Instagram?

Facebook and Instagram advertising can be surprisingly affordable, making it a great option for businesses of all sizes. You can start with a relatively small daily advertising budget and increase it as your campaign develops. The cost of advertising depends on several factors, including your target audience, industry, campaign objectives and the level of competition from other advertisers. For example, a local business looking to promote its services in a specific area may need a different budget from a company targeting customers across the UK. You have control over how much you spend, allowing you to set a daily or campaign budget that suits your business. However, it’s important to choose a realistic amount that gives your ads a reasonable opportunity to reach the right people and generate useful results. At Shine On Digital, we’ll recommend a suitable advertising budget based on your business goals and target audience. We’ll also monitor campaign performance and make adjustments where needed to help you get the most from your investment. Remember that your advertising spend and campaign management fees are separate costs. Your advertising budget goes directly towards running your ads on Facebook and Instagram, while our management fees cover the work involved in setting up, managing and optimising your campaigns. We’ll explain the costs upfront, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. If you’re unsure how much to invest, get in touch with Shine On Digital. We’ll help you explore your options and find an approach that works for your business and budget, without unnecessary spend or confusing marketing jargon.

What paid advertising services do you offer?

Our services include: Facebook Ads – Target your ideal audience with highly visual, engaging campaigns that drive clicks, leads, or sales.

Social Media Advertising That Reaches the Right People and Delivers Results

Your Advertising Should Work as Hard as You Do. Let’s Make That Happen.

You might already be running social media adverts, but if they’re not reaching the right people, generating enquiries or helping you achieve your business goals, something needs to change.

Effective social media advertising is about more than putting money behind a post. It takes the right strategy, an understanding of your audience and creative content that gives people a reason to stop scrolling and take action.

At Shine On Digital, we create and manage social media advertising campaigns tailored to your business, your audience and your objectives. From planning and ad creation to ongoing monitoring and optimisation, we help you get more from your advertising budget without the guesswork.

The right message. The right audience. Advertising that works harder for your business.

If any of the below sounds familiar, high-quality content can make a real difference:

Your adverts aren't reaching the people most likely to become customers.

You're getting likes and clicks, but not enough enquiries or sales.

Managing campaigns takes up too much of your time.

Your advertising budget doesn't seem to be delivering much in return.

You're unsure which social media platforms or audiences to target.

Your campaigns have stopped performing as well as they used to.

You don’t have to figure it all out yourself. We can help you make sense of your options, identify opportunities and build campaigns with a clear purpose.

Take the stress out of paid advertising

When Your Social Media Ads Need to Work Harder

Simply running adverts on Facebook or Instagram doesn’t guarantee that the right people will see them, engage with your business or become customers. Without a clear strategy, relevant messaging and regular optimisation, it’s easy to spend money without seeing the results you’re looking for.

Our Social Media Advertising Management service brings structure and focus to your campaigns. We develop targeted adverts that speak to your audience, reflect your business and encourage people to take the next step.

We also keep an eye on performance, making informed adjustments as your campaigns run. That means less time second-guessing your advertising and more clarity about what’s working, what needs attention and where your budget could be put to better use.

Start Seeing Real Results From Your Paid Ad Campaigns

Make Every Social Media Ad Count

Good social media advertising puts your business in front of people who are likely to be interested in what you offer. Here’s how a considered approach can help.

Reach a More Relevant Audience

Social media platforms offer a range of targeting options to help you connect with people based on factors such as interests, location and previous interactions with your business. We use these options to build campaigns around the people you want to reach, rather than simply chasing bigger numbers.

Turn attention into action

An advert needs to do more than look good. The message, creative and call to action all need to work together to encourage people to find out more, visit your website, make an enquiry or buy from you. We create social media adverts designed to capture attention and give your audience a clear reason to take the next step.

Get more from your advertising budget

Every pound counts, particularly when you’re running a small or growing business. By monitoring campaign performance and making adjustments where needed, we work to reduce wasted spend and improve the value you get from your advertising.

Understand what's working

Advertising can feel complicated when you’re faced with figures, charts and platform reports. We keep things straightforward, helping you understand how your campaigns are performing and what the results mean for your business.

What Our Social Media Advertising Service Includes

Campaign Planning and Strategy – We start with your business goals, audience and budget to develop a campaign strategy that makes sense for you. We’ll consider the most suitable platforms, targeting options, advertising formats and messaging for your objectives.

Ad Copy and Creative Development – Your adverts need to earn attention in busy social media feeds. We create engaging copy and creative concepts that reflect your brand, communicate your message clearly and encourage people to act.

Campaign Setup and Management – From campaign structure and audience selection to budgets and tracking, we take care of the practical details involved in getting your adverts up and running.

Landing Page Optimisation – Getting someone to click on an advert is only part of the journey. We can review the page they’re sent to and recommend improvements to help make the next step clearer and increase the chances of an enquiry or sale.

Ongoing Monitoring and Optimisation – We monitor campaign performance and make adjustments where needed, reviewing targeting, budgets, messaging and creative to identify opportunities for improvement.

Performance Analysis and Reporting – You’ll receive clear insights into how your campaigns are performing, including what’s working, what could be improved and the next steps we recommend. No confusing reports without an explanation of what they actually mean.

Multi-Platform Social Media Advertising – Depending on your audience and objectives, we can manage campaigns across platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, helping you reach potential customers in the places they’re most likely to engage with your business.

Audience Retargeting – Not everyone is ready to enquire or buy the first time they see your advert. Where suitable tracking, consent and platform settings allow, we can help you reconnect with people who have previously interacted with your business and encourage them to take another look.

We keep the process straightforward, with a clear plan and regular attention to performance.
