You got questions. We got answers.
What is a performance advertising agency?
A performance ad agency like JetAds is a specialized team of advertising experts and skilled media buyers who focus on direct-response advertising that drives revenue / business growth. The difference between a regular ad agency and a performance ad agency is we exclusively focus on an ROI for our clients over vanity metrics. By leveraging direct-response ad creatives, strategic placements, and various campaign objectives, a top-notch advertising agency helps brands scale and acquire more customers from paid ads. Choosing the right performance ads agency can be a game-changer for your brand’s online presence and growth, delivering a direct ROI on your investment with the agency. This is what we pride ourselves on doing.
How long does the on-boarding process usually take?
Our onboarding process is among the fastest & easiest in the industry. It's almost entirely automated through our Onboarding Funnel, which usually takes about 2-3 hours for our clients to complete. Most of the time to complete the onboarding comes down to gathering relevant assets, links, answering questions about your business, etc. Once you complete the onboarding process we will begin onboarding you into all our system, which will usually be completed in 24-72 hours. From there, we get started on creating our strategy, have a kickoff call, and we're off to the races.
How much should I spend on paid ads marketing?
What you spend on your ads is entirely up to you and should be based on your current businesses revenue, risk tolerance, and growth goals. We recommend somewhere between 5-20% of your overall revenue as a good benchmark for your advertising budget. The more important ads are for your customer acquisition, the more heavily you should look to invest into ads. As a low benchmark, we require at least $3,000 per month for us to generate an ROI comparable to our fees.
Am I eligible to become your client?
We primarily work with established businesses above $50k/m minimum with a good understanding of their target market. Typically, our partners are already spending at least $5k/m on ads. If you're a business above $50k/m and are already (or ready to start) investing $5k/m into ads then you're a good fit.
Does JetAds provide a guaranteed return on investment?
Yes! We offer a 30-day guarantee on our services. If you're not happy with the results you can cancel you're plan & get a full refund.
What exactly does JetAds offer?
We offer revenue generation through digital advertising management across all major channels (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc). You essentially are hiring a performance marketing team for a fraction of the cost including a media buyer, graphic designer, analytics specialist, and growth consultant.
Is this more expensive then hiring in-house?
Not at all! With us, you're getting a VP-level strategist, as well as a seasoned media buyer, reporting specialist, and creative production support. To build the same in-house team, you’ll be looking to pay 2-5x as much (not to mention the time to recruit and onboard, as well as additional overhead costs like benefits, payroll tax, etc.).
Do you create the ad creatives or do we need to provide them?
We will use your stockpile of existing ad creatives as well as begin developing our own. Our team can produce static ad creatives, UGC ads, and video ad creatives at any level depending on your ad spend & growth goals. Additional fees are applied per creative produced.
Does JetAds / paid ads work with small businesses?
Yes! JetAds worked with businesses of all sizes, and paid ads can be especially helpful for small businesses that have limited advertising resources and budgets. An agency like JetAds can help you develop cost-effective, tailored ads that specifically target your ideal audience, so your ad dollars don’t go to waste on impersonal, generalized campaigns. Small businesses need a strong online presence to survive and thrive, and a ad agency can maximize your brand’s visibility and customer reach, delivering significant growth and ROI.
What industries do you work with?
JetAds works with all types of industries, with experience in over 20+ sectors. As long as your business runs ads or could benefit from running ads on Facebook and Google, we can help. Book a call with us to get specific insights into your industry with a Free Scale Session Strategy Call.

Which plan works best for me?
