FAQ

Questions about performance marketing.

Which ad platforms do you run?

Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google (Search, Display, YouTube and Performance Max), LinkedIn and X. We pick the platforms where your buyers spend time.

What is GEO?

GEO, or generative engine optimisation, means making your website easy for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to read, trust and quote. It builds on SEO.

How do you report results?

You get a plain-language weekly report: spend, leads, cost per lead and what we are changing next. Pixels and conversion tracking are set up before the first rupee is spent.

What budget do I need to start?

It depends on your market and goal. Nestford Holdings started on a small budget and is still growing. We suggest a test budget in the proposal after the first call.

Do you make the ad creative too?

Yes. Static, carousel and video ads are designed and edited in-house, so every campaign has fresh creative to test.

How do you measure the success of an ad campaign?

We judge paid media on cost per lead (CPL) and return on ad spend (ROAS). We never measure success by vanity metrics like impressions or clicks.

Do you create the ad banners and copy, or just manage the budget?

We handle the whole pipeline. Our in-house team designs the static and carousel ads, writes the copy, sets up targeting on platforms like Meta and Google, and manages the daily budget.

Will I be kept in the loop on how my ad budget is being spent?

Yes. We set up clear conversion tracking and send a plain-language weekly performance report, so you know where every rupee went.
