Advertising That Gets You Customers
Your website is built — now let's get people to it. We run your ads and your Google presence for you, and we explain everything in plain English: what ran, what it cost, and what it brought in. No jargon, no forty-page reports — just more calls, and a page where you can watch the numbers yourself.
Google Ads
When someone nearby searches for what you do, your business appears at the top of Google — today, not months from now. You only pay when someone actually clicks. It's the fastest way to make the phone ring.
Facebook & Instagram Ads
Your customers aren't always searching — mostly they're scrolling. We put your business in front of people in your area who look like your best customers. Perfect for offers, seasonal work, and staying the name they remember.
Getting Found on Google (SEO)
The slow build that pays forever. We make your website the one Google trusts, so you climb the free results and customers find you without paying for every click. This is what our own 39-page site does.
The Combination
Ads buy you customers today. Getting found builds the asset that replaces them. Run both, and over time the free traffic grows until the ads matter less. That's the whole game.
Most of our clients run the combination: ads for calls this week, and steady work on getting found so the free enquiries keep growing underneath.
What it costs
Two separate things, kept separate on purpose: our fee for doing the work, and your ad spend — the money that goes to Google or Meta to show your ads. You always know which is which.
Campaign Setup. Your ad account set up properly (Google or Meta), your first campaign built, keyword & audience research done, ad copy written for you, and conversion tracking installed — so calls and form submissions are counted, not guessed at.
Ads Management. For ad budgets up to $1,500/mo. Weekly tuning, wasted-spend pruning, a plain-English monthly report, and your Site Metrics portal included.
Ads Growth. For ad budgets up to $4,000/mo. Everything in Management, plus remarketing — ads that follow up with people who visited your site — and a second platform.
Your ad spend is paid by you directly to Google or Meta. We never touch your ad budget.
Your Site Metrics page — see it working
Every advertising plan includes your own private Site Metrics page. It shows how many people visited your site, where they came from — a Google search, your ads, social media, or straight to your site — which pages they looked at, and how many called or sent a form. Plain numbers you can read in a minute, so you never have to take our word for whether the ads are working.
Advertising questions
Who pays for the ads themselves?
You do — directly to Google or Meta, from your own account. Your ad budget never passes through us. The only money that comes to Barkada is the setup fee and the monthly management fee, and both are spelled out before you start.
Which platforms do you advertise on?
Google Ads, and Facebook & Instagram (both run through Meta). Campaign Setup covers one platform; Ads Growth adds the second. Which one we start with depends on your customers: Google catches people searching with a problem right now; Facebook and Instagram put you in front of people nearby who match your best customers, even when they aren't searching.
How will I see if it's working?
Two ways. Your private Site Metrics page shows your visitors, where they came from, your most-viewed pages, and your calls and form submissions. And every month we send you a plain-English report: what ran, what it cost, what it brought in, and what we changed.
How fast will I see results?
Ads can start showing the day they launch, and enquiries can follow within days — but any advertiser who promises you a specific number is guessing, and we don't guess with your money. Getting found on Google builds more slowly, over months, and it lasts: the free traffic keeps growing underneath the ads. That's why most clients run both.
Do I need a website first?
No. Ads need somewhere good to send people — and building websites is our main job. If you don't have one, we build it first (done-for-you sites start at $499) and the ads follow. If you already have a site, we can usually run ads to it as it stands. You can see your site before you pay with the free builder.
