One-Time Setup vs Monthly Management: Which Is Right for You?

A breakdown of setup vs ongoing management, and which approach makes the most sense for your business.

When starting with paid media, one of the biggest decisions is whether to:


  • have campaigns built and manage them yourself

  • or have them managed ongoing



A one-time setup is ideal if you:


  • want to control campaigns internally

  • have time to manage ads

  • are testing paid media



Ongoing management is better if you:


  • want consistent optimisation

  • are looking to scale

  • don’t have time to manage campaigns



Both approaches can work.


The key difference is how quickly campaigns improve.


With ongoing management, campaigns are continuously refined — reducing cost per lead and increasing enquiry volume over time.


For many companies, the best approach is:


start with setup, then move to management once results are proven.
