Top 5 Questions

How long will it take to see results?

No two businesses are the same. With that said, paid social is the fastest way to generate results (outside of running a campaign to your owned media, ie, Email list). Results will vary from business to business, but in general, more seasoned businesses will yield quicker results. 

 For newer businesses, specifically those in competitive markets, it may take up to 3 months before we start to see consistency within the ad account. This is due to many factors, one of which is the pixel may not have enough data to properly optimize.

What metrics will you report on and how?

Let’s be honest, digital marketing can be complex. Sending a report with our external KPI’s but no context doesn’t sit right with us. At the end of the day, Porter Media is a boutique shop who pride ourselves on transparency and ensuring our clients understand what is going on just as much as us.

How do you measure success? What are your core KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)?

This is a loaded question as it depends on the business, but our ultimate goal is to ensure profitability.

With eCommerce, our goal is to ensure we calculate your average break even point + profit margin first before we run any paid traffic (break even ROAS). This ensures we know our goals form our outset with no surprises. 

With Lead Generation, our KPI’s run a little deeper. Yes, it’s important to ensure our cost per lead is within range where we can have success, but due to many variables, we need to have a good idea of how long the sales cycle is, as well as how often a lead converts to a paying customer.

 We work with you on forming these KPI’s with you and reverse engineer our marketing funnel to give ourselves the highest probability of success.

What types of companies do you serve, what industries and markets?

We offer both Lead Generation and eCommerce paid media services. Some industries we service are Real Estate, Mortgages, Beauty, Skin Care, Home Decor, Apparel, Toys, and more. Each business is unique, however, the marketing funnel fundamentals still remain the same. Our end goal is to ensure we acquire customers at an affordable rate, and retain them for many years to come.

More FAQs

Do you work on performance compensation?

This varies from client to client. It is dependent on the monthly advertising budget, and the accuracy of data being collected. Most often, it is a percentage of ad spend with target ROAS goals to scale. Ex: If ROAS is > 2.5x, scale. If not, hold or reduce spend. This protects the client and the business from irresponsible spending.

Yes. Based on an account and business audit, as well as the resources available to us, we will provide transparency to the attribution model we see as best fit for your business.
