Meta paid: cheap eyeballs, structured creative
Meta paid is still the cheapest scaled audience reach in India. The trick in 2026 is creative — Meta's algorithm rewards 8–12 fresh creative variants per week. We use the case-study approach: every variant tells a tiny story of a real customer outcome.
Budget: start at ₹50K/month for SMEs. Half on cold prospecting (lookalike audiences), half on retargeting (ad viewers, site visitors, WhatsApp openers).
Google: intent capture without overpaying
Google Search is the channel where someone has already decided what they want. Brand defence + high-intent commercial keywords. Skip generic top-of-funnel keywords — they're a money pit.
Quality Score matters more than spend. Each ad group needs landing pages that match the exact query. We build per-keyword landing pages when ROI justifies it.
WhatsApp: the follow-up channel everyone underuses
60% of paid leads cool off in the 90 minutes between 'expressed interest' and 'human follow-up'. WhatsApp closes that gap. Meta click-to-WhatsApp ads land buyers directly in your inbox.
Then the routing layer (see the WABA article) puts them in front of the right agent in under 60 seconds with full context. Lead-to-conversation rate jumps from ~30% to 70%+ in our engagements.
The compound effect
Meta brings the cheap awareness. Google captures the high-intent moment. WhatsApp closes the deal. Each channel feeds the next, and your cost per acquired customer drops as the stack matures.
Six months in: cost-per-customer is typically 40–60% lower than a single-channel strategy at the same volume.
Three channels. Tight feedback loops. Weekly creative refresh. Don't chase the next shiny TikTok / influencer / podcast pilot until this stack is paying back.
14+ years across e-commerce, CRM, automation, and performance marketing. Builder by instinct, marketer by training.
