Paid social for businesses that sell in person

We run the adverts and the follow-up that get people into that room. Whether you close the deal, or your dealers close it for you.

Our client spotlight

Don't let your growth get capped by referrals.

We build your growth strategy with a framework, not guesswork. We establish who actually buys, what stops them scrolling, and what they need to see before they will hand over their details.

We build creatives from a teardown of what your competitors are already running, algorithmic targeting and custom audiences built on your own customer lists, and follow-up that starts instantly rather than the next morning.

Referrals are somebody else's relationship and somebody else's timing. You cannot forecast them, scale them, or turn them up in a quarter that needs it.

Working with us

Campaigns built on a proven framework.

From onboarding to launch, there are no handoffs so our strategies and your goals always remain aligned.

01Deep dive
02Competitor analysis
03Campaign build
04Launch and nurture
05Performance optimization
Step 01

Deep dive

We learn everything about your business before you launch. Your product or service, revenue per customer, your ideal customer profile, average sales cycles, and what a good customer looks like to you.

If you sell to other businesses, we map that out first: your competitive strengths, your gaps, and which regions are worth tapping into.

In Depth Onboarding
Step 02

Competitor analysis

We pull every ad your competitors are currently running and break down the offer, the hook, the format and analyze what's working. You see the whole board before we build anything.

Most clients learn more about their category in this step than in the rest of the engagement.

Creative strategy
Step 03

Campaign build

Creative assets produced in preparation for your campaigns, static and video, built on our creative strategy. Technical set up, campaign structures, custom audiences and the nurture sequences all assembled at the same time in line with your brand guidelines, messaging and core offer.

Prefer to use your own design team? We can work with them on strategy and run your assets instead.

Campaigns & Creatives
Step 04

Launch and nurture

Adverts go live with targeting down to state, city or postcode, plus custom audiences uploaded from your own lists and lookalikes built from those.

Every lead lands with your team and enters segmented nurture flows within minutes. SMS and email automations encourage conversions until prospects take action.

Lead Generation & Conversion
Step 05

Performance optimization

Your feedback on lead quality is tied back to the platform through a conversion API, qualified or unqualified. That feedback loop allows the algorithm to learn what a good customer looks like for you specifically.

New creatives are launched based on what's working. Nurture flows are continuously optimized based on open and conversion rates.

About us

The growth agency for businesses that don't sell online.

Most businesses like yours have already decided paid social does not work for them. They boosted a post, got a handful of junk leads, and concluded the platform is fine for e-commerce and useless for what they sell. What failed was not the platform. It was an ad with nothing behind it: no qualification, no follow-up, and no way to tell the algorithm which of those leads was actually worth having.

AC Generates was built to run the whole system rather than the ad at the front of it. The same framework on every account, whether you close your own deals or sell through the businesses that do, and the same person on it from the first call to the campaigns going live.

Got questions?

The frequently asked ones.

How much do you charge?
Our packages are uniquely tailored to your business needs, and start with quarterly minimum engagements. Ad spend is billed separately and paid directly to the platform. Get in touch to scope a package.
Most of our business comes from referrals. Why change?
Referrals run on somebody else's relationship and somebody else's timing. You can't forecast them, scale them, or turn them up when you want to scale. Advertising on social gives you a source you control, both up and down.
We already buy leads. How is this different?
A purchased lead was likely sold to you and three other companies. Our strategies ensure your leads are generated for you and nobody else receives them; you own your own lead generation.
Why not Google?
Search catches people who are already comparing and solution aware. By the time somebody types "your service near me" they have four tabs open and you are one of them. Social is an interruption that reaches them before the comparison starts.
Our customers are old school. Are they even on social media?
Over 3.6 billion users are active daily on Meta, every demographic, every audience. Whether you sell to businesses or end users, we can find them. We also upload custom audiences built from real customer lists and let the platform find more like them, so we are not relying on platform targeting alone.
Can you target specific regions?
Down to state, city or postcode, nationally, or internationally, all determined during your onboarding.
Who actually works on the account?
The person you meet from sales to onboarding. Nothing is ever outsourced to guarantee alignment.
How long before we see anything?
We aim to have you live in 3 weeks, assuming we align on your onboarding. From there, most of our clients start seeing new leads within 24 hours of going live.
