Paid social ads in Manchester
Facebook and Instagram advertising for Manchester businesses at a fixed £69 to £249 a month. We manage the campaigns from 34 Altrincham Rd in Wilmslow, about 30 minutes south of the centre. The fee is flat, the reporting is plain, and ad spend is separate, paid by you directly to Meta.
Nearly three million people within a tram ride
The prize in Manchester is scale. The conurbation holds close to three million people, the city centre has filled with residents over the last two decades, and the student population is one of the largest in Europe. For a business that knows who it serves, Meta's targeting can put an offer in front of more of the right people here than almost anywhere outside London.
The tax on that scale is the company you keep. Manchester feeds carry national brands, big venues and well-funded startups, so the creative bar is set high and a half-hearted ad simply gets scrolled past. Winning here is less about spending more and more about a sharper offer, tighter targeting and creative refreshed before it goes stale.

Targeting a city of districts
Treating Manchester as one audience is the classic mistake. Chorlton and Didsbury behave differently from the city centre, which behaves differently again from Prestwich or the commuter towns, and a venue drawing weekend visitors has a different real catchment from a clinic serving three suburbs.
We build audiences around where customers actually travel from, usually a handful of overlapping areas in separate ad sets rather than one blunt radius over the conurbation. That way the reporting can tell you which area returns most for the money, and the budget follows the evidence rather than the map. Where the calendar matters, term time, paydays, match days, the targeting and the offer shift with it rather than running the same message all year.

What arrives in your inbox each month
A monthly report should be short enough to read and specific enough to argue with. Ours covers what was spent, what it produced, the cost per result, which audience and which creative performed best, and what changes next month and why. No screenshots of reach with nothing underneath them.
Everything we report can be checked inside your own account, because we work in yours rather than hiding your figures in ours. If a month goes badly we say so and explain what we are doing about it. Nobody improves an ad account by pretending the bad weeks did not happen.
Paid social packages.
Moving up the packages grows three things: how many audiences we can compare, how many creative variations we can run against them, and how much of the follow up can be automated. Starter keeps it to one of each. Growth, the one most clients pick, gives three ad sets and three variations with audience testing and basic retargeting where the platform permits. Pro reaches five variations, a retargeting structure, lead forms where they fit and creative direction. There is no setup fee, the management figure never moves without your agreement, and ad spend is separate.

An offer that survives a crowded feed
The biggest lever in this city is not the targeting, it is what you are actually offering. Manchester audiences see polished advertising all day, so a vague invitation to visit gets nothing. A midweek set menu with a price on it works. A named treatment with a clear starting price works. Launches, seasonal ranges and anything genuinely time limited work, because they give a stranger a reason to act now rather than file you away.
We help shape the offer before launch, because no amount of clever audience work rescues a weak one. And we are open about the method: campaigns are built using AI for speed, refined by experts for quality, so production is quick, judgement stays human, and the saving lands in your fee. We will not promise a fixed number of enquiries, because no advertiser controls that.

Beyond the city centre
Most Manchester campaigns reach well past the centre anyway, and we run the same service town by town: Salford, Stretford, Prestwich and Chorlton all have pages of their own, with wider coverage set out on our paid social ads Cheshire page. What sits inside each package is explained on the paid social advertising page, and the full coverage list is under areas. Web design, SEO and Google Ads run on the same fixed monthly basis if you want more than one channel pulling.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns the ad account and the audiences you build?
You do, from the first day to the last. We work inside your Meta account rather than our own, so the campaigns, the custom audiences and the results data all stay with your business whatever happens later.
Can one campaign cover the city centre and the suburbs?
It can, but it usually should not. We split areas into separate ad sets so you can see whether the centre, the southern suburbs or the commuter towns return most for the money, then weight the budget towards the strongest.
Are there hidden costs on top of the monthly fee?
No. The fee is £69, £129 or £249 depending on package, and ad spend is separate, paid by you directly to Meta. Anything outside the package is £50 an hour, agreed with you before we start.
Do you only work with Cheshire businesses?
No. We manage paid social for businesses across Greater Manchester from our Wilmslow base, half an hour south of the centre, and we answer the phone like humans wherever you happen to trade.
How much ad spend does Manchester need?
More than a market town, less than you might fear. Crowded feeds raise the floor, so we agree a starting budget scaled to your area and goal, watch the cost per result, and adjust it with you rather than for you.
