What does an advertising agency do?
An advertising agency turns your budget into customers. It picks the channels, builds the campaigns, writes and designs the ads, sets up tracking and keeps improving what works. A good agency reports on leads, sales and cost per result, not just clicks. It should also tell you when to spend less.
At Clickseek the work covers five parts:
- Strategy. Who you sell to, what they search for, which channel reaches them at the lowest cost per lead.
- Campaign build. Account structure, audiences, keywords, bidding and budgets on Google and Meta.
- Creative. Ad copy, static and video ads, and the landing pages they point to.
- Tracking. Conversion tracking, call and form tracking, and CRM or WhatsApp lead capture, so every rupee or dollar is traced to an outcome.
- Optimisation and reporting. Weekly changes, monthly reviews, and plain reports on what each campaign delivered.
Advertising channels we run
We run digital advertising only, on the channels where buyers act. Each one has a different job. Most brands get the best results from two or three channels working together, not all of them at once.
Google Ads
Search ads catch people who already want what you sell. We also run Performance Max, YouTube, Display and Shopping campaigns where they fit the goal. Read more about our Google Ads and PPC services.
Meta ads (Facebook and Instagram)
Meta ads create demand. They reach people before they search, using interests, lookalike audiences and retargeting. As an official Meta Business Partner, we work closely with Meta’s tools and support. See our social media marketing services.
Click-to-WhatsApp ads
For many Indian and UAE buyers, WhatsApp is where the sale happens. Click-to-WhatsApp ads open a chat instead of a form. Because we are an official WhatsApp Business API provider, we can connect the ad, the chat and the follow-up messages in one flow.
Landing pages and conversion rate optimisation
Ads only work if the page converts. We have run conversion rate optimisation on 60+ websites. We build fast landing pages, test headlines and forms, and fix the leaks between click and enquiry.
Fee-only: how our pricing works
We charge a fee for the work, agreed upfront. We do not take a percentage of your ad spend. Your ad accounts are billed by Google and Meta directly to you.
Why this matters. Many agencies charge a percentage of spend. That links their income to how much you spend, not to how well your ads perform. With a fee-only model, our advice to cut a weak campaign costs us nothing. You also see the real cost of your media, line by line, in your own accounts.
| Percentage of ad spend | Fee-only (Clickseek) | |
|---|---|---|
| How the agency earns | A share of your budget | A fee for agreed work |
| If you double your budget | The agency fee doubles | The fee changes only if the scope changes |
| Who pays Google and Meta | Often the agency, then rebilled | You, directly |
| Incentive | Spend more | Get better results per rupee or dollar |
What drives the fee: the number of channels, the number of campaigns and markets, how much creative you need each month, and whether we build landing pages and tracking. Share your goals and we will send a scoped quote.
How to choose an advertising agency
Choose the agency that can show how it will measure success before it shows you creative. Ask how it earns, who will run your account day to day, and what it will do in the first 90 days. Then check its proof: real client names, platform credentials and reports you can read.
Questions worth asking in the first call:
- How do you charge? A percentage of spend, a fixed fee, or a mix. Ask what happens to the fee if your budget changes.
- Who owns the ad accounts? You should own your Google Ads and Meta Business accounts and all the data in them.
- What will you track? Leads, qualified leads, sales and cost per result. Not only clicks and impressions.
- Who works on my account? Meet the people who will run it, not only the sales team.
- What are your platform credentials? Meta Business Partner status or Google Partner status shows the agency meets platform standards.
- What does the first 90 days look like? A good answer covers audit, tracking fixes, first campaigns and the first tests.
- How often will we talk? Ask for a reporting rhythm and a sample report.
Advertising agency vs in-house team vs freelancer
An agency gives you a full team and tested processes for one fee. An in-house team gives you control but costs more to hire and keep current. A freelancer is cheaper and works for one channel at small budgets. The right pick depends on your budget, the number of channels and how fast you need results.
| Agency | In-house team | Freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skills covered | Strategy, media buying, creative, tracking, CRO | Depends on who you hire | Usually one or two channels |
| Time to start | Weeks | Months to hire and train | Days |
| Best for | Multi-channel growth with clear targets | Large, steady budgets and a long horizon | A single channel at a small budget |
| Main risk | Poor fit or slow agency | High fixed cost, skill gaps | No cover if they are unavailable |
How we work
We start with your numbers, not with ads. Every engagement follows the same four steps.
- Audit. We review your current accounts, tracking, landing pages and past results.
- Plan. We set targets for cost per lead or return on ad spend, pick channels and agree the budget split.
- Launch. We fix tracking first, then build campaigns, creative and landing pages.
- Improve. We test and adjust every week and review results with you every month.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an advertising agency charge?
Agencies usually charge a percentage of ad spend, a fixed monthly fee, or a mix. Clickseek charges a fee for agreed work and never a percentage of spend. The fee depends on channels, campaigns, markets and creative volume. Your ad budget is paid to Google and Meta directly, so you always see it separately.
What is the minimum ad budget to work with an agency?
There is no single right number. The budget must be large enough for the platform to learn and for results to be measured within a few weeks. We look at your cost per lead target and sales cycle, then tell you honestly whether paid ads make sense now or whether to fix the website first.
Do I own my ad accounts?
Yes. Your Google Ads and Meta ad accounts are set up in your name and billed to you. We work in them with your permission. If you stop working with us, the accounts, the data and the audiences stay with you.
How soon will I see results from paid ads?
Search ads can bring enquiries within days of launch. Most campaigns need a few weeks of testing before costs settle. We share early numbers from week one and a full review at the end of the first month.
Is Clickseek a Meta Business Partner?
Yes. Clickseek Digital is an official Meta Business Partner and an official WhatsApp Business API provider. This lets us run Facebook, Instagram and Click-to-WhatsApp campaigns with direct access to Meta’s partner tools and support.
Do you work with brands outside India?
Yes. We run advertising for brands in India, the UAE, the US and the UK from our Bengaluru headquarters. Campaigns are set up for each market’s language, currency and buying habits.
