Paid social ads in Altrincham
Instagram and Facebook ads for Altrincham businesses, from a flat £69 a month. We manage Facebook and Instagram campaigns from Wilmslow, fifteen minutes down the A538. The fee is flat whatever the season, and ad spend is separate, set by you and paid straight to the platform.
A town built for the feed
Altrincham has around 47,000 residents and a town centre that has become a genuine destination since the market house revival. Food and drink lead the way, independent retail sits alongside it, and a solid base of professional services works away behind the scenes. Very little of that is a hard sell. It is the sort of trade people share, photograph and recommend without being asked.
Which makes it close to ideal for paid social, and also unusually competitive. Half the town is already posting good looking content. Being visually pleasant is the entry fee here rather than the advantage, so the campaigns that work tend to be the ones with something specific to say rather than the prettiest pictures.

Creative that comes from the business itself
The best performing ads in a market like Altrincham are rarely the most polished. A short clip filmed on a phone of a dish being finished, a shop being set up in the morning or a member of staff explaining one thing they are good at will usually outperform a professionally shot advertisement that looks like an advertisement.
Our practical advice is to build a small habit rather than plan a shoot. Take a handful of clips a week and keep them. Film in daylight where you can. Show faces, since people respond to people. On Starter you supply the creative and we do the rest. On Pro we give creative direction so you are not guessing at what to capture.
Paid social packages.
Choose by how often you need something new to say. A shop or firm with one steady message can sit happily on Starter, a single campaign on one audience using creative you supply. Anywhere with a changing menu, a new range or regular events wants Growth, the one most clients pick, for three ad sets, three creative variations, audience testing and basic retargeting. Pro holds five variations, a retargeting structure, lead forms where they make sense, creative direction and advice on the pages behind the ads. Ad spend is separate and always yours to control.

Measuring ads when the sale happens in person
This is the hardest part of advertising a bar, a restaurant or a shop, and most suppliers gloss over it. Somebody sees your ad on Tuesday and walks in on Saturday having forgotten where they heard of you. No tracking pixel catches that, so the platform under reports and the owner concludes the ads did nothing.
There are practical ways round it. Use a code or a named offer that only appears in the ads, so redemptions can be counted. Ask new customers how they found you and write the answers down. Watch bookings and covers in the weeks you advertise against the weeks you do not. None of it is perfect, but a rough picture built from several sources beats a precise number that measures the wrong thing.

Fifteen minutes up the A538
Our office at 34 Altrincham Rd in Wilmslow sits at the other end of the road that shares the town's name, so the trip is short when a meeting is worth having. More often it is not needed. Campaigns are built using AI for speed, refined by experts for quality, which means fast production, human judgement over what runs, and a fixed monthly price that starts at £69 and is agreed before a single ad goes live.
We will not promise you a number of covers, bookings or sales. What we will do is manage the account every month, tell you what changed and explain why.

Cutting through in a crowded market
01
When several businesses in the same street are advertising, shouting the same thing louder is expensive. The way through is usually specificity. A named dish and a price beats a general invitation. A single event with a date beats an open ended promise. A message aimed at one type of customer beats one aimed at everybody.
02
Timing helps too. Advertising a Sunday offer on Friday afternoon while people are making plans works better than the same message on Sunday morning when the decision is already made. These are small choices, made monthly, and together they are most of the difference between a campaign that pays and one that does not.

Working across the area
Altrincham draws customers from a wide ring, and a business here rarely serves only its own postcode. We run paid social for firms in Sale, a few minutes up the A56, and further south in Wilmslow and Knutsford. County-wide coverage sits on our paid social ads Cheshire page. What each package covers is spelled out on the paid social advertising page. Every town we work in has its own entry under areas. If you want a website, SEO or Google Ads alongside, all of it runs on the same fixed monthly footing.
Less faff. More done.

Frequently asked questions
Food and drink is crowded here. Can ads really cut through?
They can, but not by being generic. A specific dish, a dated event or a clear midweek offer gives people a reason to act. Broad brand awareness spend is the version that struggles in a town where everybody already looks good online.
Do we need to meet in person to work together?
Not unless you want to. We are fifteen minutes away so it is easy to arrange, but a monthly written summary and a call when a decision is needed is usually enough.
Instagram or Facebook for my business?
Usually both, weighted by results. Hospitality and retail tend to earn more on Instagram, while services and trades often do better on Facebook. We test rather than assume, then move budget to whichever produces enquiries more cheaply.
Is the advertising budget part of your fee?
No. Ad spend is separate and paid by you directly to Meta. Our monthly fee is £69, £129 or £249 for management only, so you can see exactly what each half costs.
Can you run campaigns around a specific event or launch?
Yes. Short dated campaigns work well when there is a real reason to turn up. We would normally start a couple of weeks out, keep the radius sensible and put most of the budget in the final few days.
