Meta ads agency
Stop spending on Meta ads that do not convert. Start scaling the ones that do.
Most brands run Meta ads. Most cannot tell you which campaign generated their last 50 sales, why certain creatives outperform others by 6x, or what their true return on ad spend is after excluding platform self-attribution. Redefine fixes all three.

The Meta Ads attribution problem
Meta claims credit for sales it did not cause. Most brands believe it.
Meta's default attribution window claims a 7-day click, 1-day view attribution. That means Meta takes credit for anyone who saw your ad, even if they bought from an email, organic search, or returning visit with no ad interaction. The gap between what Meta reports and what actually happened is usually 30 to 50%.

The problem
Meta claims 7-day click + 1-day view attribution. View-through conversions can be customers who never clicked any ad. Your GA4 shows only 1,140 conversions from Meta. Who is right?

What this means
Your true cost per acquisition is 73% higher than Meta claims. Your budget decisions are wrong. The Redefine audit shows which campaigns are genuinely profitable and what to cut this week.
Campaign transformation
The same ad budget. Completely different results.
Toggle between a typical Meta Ads setup and what Redefine builds for the same brand. Same monthly spend. Completely different campaign architecture, attribution setup, and return-on-ad-spend outcome.

Click-through rate
What was wrong
No audience segmentation, one broad campaign for all objectives
Prospecting and retargeting audiences competed against each other, inflating cost per thousand impressions and showing ads to people who had already purchased
No creative rotation, same 2 ads running for 8 months
Creative fatigue caused click-through rate to fall from 2.4% to 0.9% over 3 months while cost per thousand impressions increased. No new creative tests meant no escape from the decline.
Platform-reported attribution misleading budget decisions
Agency was reporting 4.2x return on ad spend from Meta dashboard. True blended return on ad spend with proper attribution was 1.9x. Brand was scaling a losing campaign.
No conversion event optimization, optimizing for "link clicks" not purchases
Meta was finding people likely to click, not people likely to buy. Cost per acquisition was 73% higher than it should have been because of the wrong optimization signal.
Monthly spend: $15,000 · Monthly revenue attributed (true): $28,500 · True return on ad spend: 1.9x
After ad cost and platform fees, this campaign was generating a small net negative on each customer acquired.

What Redefine built
Full-funnel campaign architecture with separated audience layers
Prospecting (1 to 3% lookalikes), consideration (engagers and visitors), and retargeting (cart abandoners, product detail page visitors) each with separate budgets, bidding, and creative
Creative testing system with weekly new variants
3 creative concepts tested each month. Winners scale, losers pause. Creative fatigue tracked at the ad level. Click-through rate maintained above 2.8% consistently.
Server-side tracking with 1-day click attribution window
Accurate return-on-ad-spend reporting using server-side pixel events. All budget decisions based on true attribution, not Meta's inflated self-reported numbers.
Purchase event optimization with value-based bidding
Meta's algorithm optimized for highest-value purchasers, not just any purchaser. Average order value increased 28% within 60 days of switching the optimization event.
Same spend: $15,000 · Monthly revenue attributed (true): $72,000 · True return on ad spend: 4.8x
Same monthly budget. Restructured campaigns. 2.5x the revenue in 60 days.
What we manage for you
Five capabilities your current Meta setup does not have.

Median client return on ad spend after 90 days
Return-on-ad-spend accountability with true attribution
We configure server-side tracking, set 1-day click attribution windows, and build a blended return-on-ad-spend model that shows what Meta actually contributed, not what the platform claims. Every week you see the real number, not the flattering one.

Full-funnel audience architecture
Prospecting, consideration, and retargeting audiences built separately with separated budgets. Your best customers are excluded from prospecting. Cart abandoners get retargeting within 12 hours, not 7 days.

Creative rotation system
Winners scale. Losers pause within 7 days. We track ad-level creative fatigue and never let a single creative dominate for more than 3 weeks without a refresh.
Value-based purchase event optimization
We optimize for highest-value purchasers, not just any click. Meta's algorithm finds the customers most likely to spend the most, not just any visitor who might buy. Average order value increases within 60 days of the switch.
Weekly performance reporting, no jargon
Every Monday your dashboard updates with true return on ad spend, creative performance rankings, audience health, and one recommended budget move for the week. No agency jargon. No vanity metrics. Just decisions.

The Challenge
Facebook Marketplace sales were underperforming due to inconsistent listings, limited analytics, and fragmented operational workflows. The purchasing experience lacked cohesion, and paid campaigns had no clear conversion tracking, making optimization impossible. Budget was being spent without clear attribution of what it was producing.
The Approach
Paid campaigns were rebuilt with proper conversion event tracking, listing optimization, and targeted advertising aligned to buyer intent. Workflows for listings, ads, inventory, and payments were unified to allow the paid campaigns to convert at their full potential rather than losing buyers in a broken post-click experience.
The Result
0x
return on investment from paid advertising campaigns
- Facebook Marketplace sales and engagement increased significantly, supported by improved listing performance and targeted advertising
- Monthly revenue reaching $80K from paid campaigns with measurable return on investment that justified continued budget investment
- Integrated POS and loyalty capabilities enhanced the customer purchasing experience, supporting sustained revenue growth beyond the initial campaign push
Why Redefine
Most Meta agencies optimize for the campaign. We optimize for your margin.
The difference between a Meta agency that reports good-looking numbers and one that actually grows your business comes down to attribution, creative architecture, and whether they tell you when a campaign is not working.

Common questions
Questions about working with a Meta ads agency
Straight answers to what every brand asks before signing.
Get My Meta Ads AuditNo commitment. No pitch. Campaigns live within 5 days of sign-off.
Campaign restructuring is complete within 5 days. Return-on-ad-spend improvement shows within the first 2 to 3 weeks as Meta's algorithm learns the new optimization signals. Creative testing results are visible within 7 to 14 days of each new batch. Significant return-on-ad-spend improvement (approaching the 4 to 6x range for most ecommerce verticals) takes 60 to 90 days of continuous optimization. We report weekly from day one so you see every change as it happens.
Our Meta Ads management is meaningful from approximately $5,000 per month in ad spend. Below that level, the data volume is too thin to run reliable creative tests or audience splits. At $5,000 to $15,000 per month, we run a focused prospecting plus retargeting structure. Above $15,000, we add full creative testing infrastructure, dynamic catalog campaigns, and value-based bidding. There is no maximum spend cap.
Both models work. If you have an internal creative team, we provide weekly creative briefs with specific angles, hooks, and formats to test. If you do not have internal creative, we work with a network of Meta-specific user-generated-content producers and video editors to produce the assets. Creative production is scoped and priced separately from media management. We tell you exactly what to produce and why, rather than running the same 2 ads indefinitely.
We audit your existing campaigns first. In many cases, your current campaigns have enough value to preserve the audience learning while we restructure the architecture. A clean handover takes 2 to 3 days. During the audit we identify which campaigns to keep, which to pause, and which to rebuild. There is no required downtime and no lost audience learning from a poorly managed transition. We have managed transitions from other agencies multiple times without performance gaps.
The management fee covers: campaign architecture and setup, daily bid and budget management, weekly creative testing coordination, weekly performance reporting, monthly attribution reconciliation between Meta and GA4, and one strategy call per month. Ad spend goes directly to Meta, it is not part of our fee. Creative production, if needed, is scoped separately. There are no hidden fees and no percentage-of-spend billing above the flat management rate.
Is this right for you?
Is Redefine the right Meta ads agency for your brand right now?
Right for you if
You spend at least $5,000 per month on Meta and cannot clearly say what your true return on ad spend is
Your current agency or in-house team reports platform return on ad spend without comparing against GA4 or actual revenue
You have not tested new creative in more than 4 weeks and your click-through rate is declining
You are running one broad campaign for all audiences instead of separated funnel stages
You want to scale Meta spend but are not confident the channel can absorb more budget at positive return on ad spend
You sell a product with a purchase cycle short enough for Meta attribution to be meaningful (under 7 days)
Probably not the right fit if
Your monthly ad spend is under $3,000: the data volume is too thin for meaningful split-testing
You sell a high-consideration business-to-business product with a 3-to-6-month sales cycle: Meta attribution windows do not match the buyer journey
You need brand awareness only, with no conversion objective: we are a performance agency, not a reach agency
You need organic social management: we specialize in paid Meta only, not content calendars or community management
You are pre-revenue with no conversion history: we need purchase event data to optimize against
You want a guaranteed return on ad spend number before seeing your account: we audit first, then give you a realistic projection
