Wavecrest Media is a digital advertising agency based in E. Hampstead, NH. Results vary by industry, budget, and competition. We do not guarantee specific outcomes or ad placements.

From First Call to Scaling Campaigns

A transparent, structured process designed around your goals. No guesswork, no hidden steps — just a clear roadmap from audit to growth.

01
Phase 1

Free Consultation & Campaign Audit

Every engagement starts with a no-obligation conversation and audit. We want to understand your business, your goals, and what's happening with your current advertising — before recommending anything. If you're already running campaigns, we review your account data. If you're starting fresh, we analyze your competitive landscape.

This step costs you nothing. There's no pressure to proceed. We give you honest feedback even if that feedback is "you don't need us for this."

  • 30–60 minute discovery call with your assigned strategist
  • Review of existing ad accounts (if applicable)
  • Website and landing page evaluation
  • Competitive research in your industry and market
  • Preliminary opportunity identification

Timeline: Scheduled within 3–5 business days of initial contact.

02
Phase 2

Strategy Development & Proposal

Based on the audit findings, we develop a customized advertising strategy. This document outlines recommended platforms, campaign structure, estimated budget allocations, targeting approach, KPI targets (clearly marked as projections, not guarantees), and timeline.

We walk you through the proposal in detail and answer every question before you make any commitment. We'd rather spend extra time here than have surprises later.

  • Platform recommendation and justification
  • Budget allocation framework
  • Audience strategy and targeting approach
  • KPI framework and measurement plan
  • Realistic timeline and milestone schedule
  • Clear pricing and engagement terms

Timeline: Proposal delivered within 5–7 business days of audit completion.

All KPI projections are estimates based on industry benchmarks and available data — not guarantees. Actual results depend on market conditions, platform performance, and factors outside our control.

03
Phase 3

Website Development (If Required)

If your current website isn't built to convert ad traffic — or if you need compliant landing pages for specific platforms — we build them before a single ad goes live. Sending paid traffic to a slow, irrelevant, or non-compliant page is one of the most common ways businesses waste ad spend.

We don't launch campaigns until we're confident the destination is ready. This protects your budget and improves campaign performance from day one.

  • Design approval before development begins
  • Mobile-first, fast-loading builds
  • Ad platform policy compliance check
  • Tracking and pixel installation
  • Form and conversion action testing
  • Full ownership transfer to client on completion

Timeline: 7–21 business days depending on scope. Campaigns do not launch before site sign-off.

04
Phase 4

Ad Account Setup & Campaign Launch

With strategy approved and destination assets ready, we build the campaigns. Every account is structured intentionally — naming conventions, campaign hierarchy, audience segmentation, and tracking are all configured before we spend a dollar.

We submit campaigns to the platform for review. Ad approval timelines are outside our control and vary by platform, category, and creative content. We communicate any approval issues promptly and provide alternatives if ads are not approved in their original form.

  • Account structure and campaign build
  • Audience creation and targeting configuration
  • Ad creative setup and review
  • Conversion tracking verification
  • Platform submission and approval monitoring
  • Launch confirmation and initial data review

All advertising campaigns are subject to platform policies and approval. Wavecrest Media cannot guarantee that ads will be approved or that any specific placement will be secured. Platform approval decisions are made solely by the respective platforms and are not within Wavecrest Media's control.

Timeline: Setup 5–10 business days. Platform review adds 1–5 business days depending on platform and category.

05
Phase 5

Ongoing Optimization & Reporting

Campaigns don't optimize themselves. After launch, we monitor performance daily, make bid and budget adjustments weekly, and conduct deeper strategic reviews monthly. You receive clear, honest reports that show what's actually happening — not just the metrics that look good.

We flag problems early and propose solutions rather than waiting for monthly reviews. If a campaign isn't performing, you hear about it from us — not from your own bank account.

  • Daily campaign monitoring and anomaly alerts
  • Weekly bid adjustments and negative keyword updates
  • A/B testing of ad copy, audiences, and creative
  • Monthly performance reports with platform data
  • Monthly strategy call to review results and adjust priorities
  • Transparent access to your own ad account data at all times

Ongoing: Monthly engagement with regular touchpoints. Clients retain full account access.

06
Phase 6

Scaling What Works

Once campaigns have stabilized and we've identified what's working — which audiences convert, which creative performs, which keywords drive quality leads — we build a scaling plan. This involves increasing budget intelligently on proven performers, expanding to new platforms, and opening new segments of the funnel.

Scaling is never reckless. We increase spend incrementally, monitor efficiency metrics through each budget step, and pull back if performance degrades. The goal is sustainable growth, not just higher spend.

  • Performance tier analysis and winner identification
  • Incremental budget increase planning
  • Expansion to new platforms or campaign types
  • Lookalike and audience expansion strategy
  • Funnel stage additions (e.g., retargeting, upper-funnel awareness)
  • Quarterly business reviews for strategic alignment

Results vary by industry, budget, and competition. Scaling campaign performance is not guaranteed. We do not guarantee specific outcomes at any budget level.

Practices We Refuse on Principle

❌ Guaranteed Results

We never promise specific ROI, CPLs, or conversion rates. Any agency that does is misleading you.

❌ Hidden Account Control

You have admin access to every account we manage. Your data is always yours.

❌ "Affiliated with Google/Meta" Claims

We are an independent agency. We are not Google, Meta, or Microsoft, and we never imply otherwise.

❌ Locking You Into Long Contracts

We earn your continued business through results and service quality, not contract lock-in.
