A simple paid ads framework for a tight budget
Small budgets fail when they try to do too much. The fix is not more money, it is fewer, sharper bets. The framework below keeps spend tied to outcomes so every pound has a job.
Start with one offer and one audience
Pick the single service that makes you the most money and the single audience most likely to buy it. Point all of your early budget there. Breadth comes later, once something is working.
Measure the right thing
Clicks are vanity. Track enquiries, calls and sales instead, and give each campaign enough time to gather real data before you judge it. Pause what does not convert and move that budget to what does.
Done well, even a modest budget can pay for itself within a few weeks. The trick is discipline, not size.
