Scalable Paid Acquisition

Paid Ads Management Built Around Profit, Not Just Clicks

We build, test, and scale Meta and Google campaigns for Shopify and Wix stores — with tracking you can trust, creative that actually converts, and a relentless focus on return on ad spend.

Paid ads management is the ongoing work of building, testing, and scaling paid campaigns — primarily Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google (Search, Shopping, Performance Max) — to acquire customers at a profit. Dakaas manages the full loop: tracking setup, account structure, audience and creative testing, budget scaling, and attribution, optimized against return on ad spend rather than raw traffic.

Sound Like Your Ad Account?

The patterns we see over and over when we audit a new account — and what we do about each.

Meta says you're at a 3x ROAS, Shopify says you're barely breaking even, and you don't know which to believe.

We implement the Conversions API with proper deduplication and reconcile it against Shopify and GA4, so the number you optimize against matches the money in the bank.

You have 14 campaigns, half of them overlapping, and nobody remembers why most of them exist.

We consolidate into a clean full-funnel structure — broad prospecting, a tight retargeting layer, brand-defence on Search — so the algorithm has enough data per campaign to actually learn.

Every ad is a product photo with a discount. Nothing new has been tested in two months.

We run a structured creative pipeline: new hooks, angles, and formats (UGC, founder video, comparison, problem-solution) tested every week, with losers cut and winners scaled on a schedule.

Performance Max is eating budget and you can't see what it's actually doing.

We split branded from non-branded, feed it proper asset groups and audience signals, add search-term and placement exclusions, and hold it to a separate target so it can't cannibalise your other campaigns unnoticed.

Spend went up, revenue went up, but profit didn't — and you're not sure scaling was worth it.

We build a simple contribution-margin model with you, set the ROAS floor at the point where scaling still adds profit, and scale budget in controlled steps that don't wreck the learning phase.

Why Most Ad Accounts Quietly Leak Money

Paid ads can be the fastest way to grow — or the fastest way to burn cash. The difference is almost always tracking accuracy, account structure, and creative volume, not the size of the budget.

  • After recent privacy changes, browser-only tracking under-reports conversions by 15–30% — so the platform optimizes toward the wrong people unless you fix attribution.

  • Most accounts have overlapping audiences bidding against each other, inflating CPMs with no extra reach.

  • Creative is now the main lever: the account that tests more hooks and formats wins, regardless of targeting.

  • Scaling budget without a structure that protects your winners just resets the learning phase and spikes your cost per acquisition.

  • Without a real view of contribution margin, 'profitable ROAS' is a guess — and you either scale too slow or too far.

Weekly optimization log

A short written record of what we changed and why, so you're never guessing what's happening in the account.

Honest note on pricing: We charge a flat monthly management fee based on scope and spend — not a percentage of ad spend, so our incentive is your profit, not your budget. Onboarding is the first month; after that it's month-to-month.

Why Partner With Dakaas for Paid Ads

We treat your budget like it's ours. That means fixing the boring stuff first, scaling only when the maths works, and telling you the truth when a channel isn't the answer.

  • Profit-first: we optimize to contribution margin and new-customer CAC, not to whatever number looks best in the ad platform.

  • Tracking obsessed: nothing scales until the data is trustworthy, because scaling on bad data just loses money faster.

  • Creative as a system: we run a repeatable testing pipeline instead of hoping the next ad works.

  • Daily hands-on: your account is checked and adjusted every working day, not glanced at once a week.

  • No long contracts: month-to-month after onboarding — we keep the account because it performs.

Our 3-Phase Approach

Stabilise the account, find what works, then scale it carefully. Trying to skip to phase three is how most accounts blow up.

1

Audit & Foundation (Weeks 1–3)

We fix tracking, rebuild the account structure, tighten the product feed, and set the ROAS floor with you from a real margin model.

2

Test & Optimize (Weeks 3–8)

We run the creative and audience testing pipeline, let campaigns exit the learning phase, and identify the winners worth putting money behind.

3

Scale & Defend (Ongoing)

We push budget into proven campaigns in controlled steps, defend brand terms, keep the creative pipeline full, and hold the target margin as spend grows.

The challenge

Meta reported a 2.9x ROAS but the business was close to break-even. Attribution was browser-only, prospecting and retargeting audiences overlapped heavily, and creative hadn't changed in months.

What we did

  • Implemented the Conversions API with deduplication and reconciled reporting to Shopify
  • Collapsed 11 campaigns into a 3-campaign full-funnel structure with proper exclusions
  • Launched a weekly creative pipeline — UGC, founder-story, and problem-solution angles
  • Set the ROAS floor from contribution margin and scaled budget in 20% steps

Merchants Scaling Profitably

Stores that moved from 'spending more and hoping' to a system they can actually read.

Alex R.

Luxe Decor

“The first thing they did was tell me my ROAS was a lie. Once the tracking was fixed we could finally scale without that sick feeling. Went from $6k to $22k/month spend holding a 4x+ over 90 days.”

Jessica T.

FitFlow Apparel

“Our Google account was a mess of overlapping campaigns and an untamed Performance Max. They rebuilt it, added the exclusions PMax needed, and our cost per purchase basically halved in a month.”

David K.

PurePet Nutrition

“What I value most is the weekly log. I always know what changed and why. No more black box, no more 'trust us'.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Answered all frequently asked questions. Still confused? Feel free to contact us.

We generally work with stores spending at least $3,000–5,000/month across platforms. Below that there isn't enough data to test and optimize properly, and management fees eat too much of the budget to make sense.
