Reach your ideal customers on Facebook and Instagram with precision-targeted Meta Ads campaigns. 5labs manages every aspect of your paid social advertising, from audience research and creative development to A/B testing and campaign optimisation. We help Edinburgh businesses turn ad spend into measurable growth.
Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, offer unparalleled reach and targeting capabilities for businesses of all sizes. With over 3.5 billion monthly active users worldwide, the opportunity to connect with your ideal audience has never been greater. But success on Meta requires more than just boosting posts.
At 5labs, we create and manage high-performing Meta Ads campaigns for Edinburgh businesses. Our approach starts with deep audience research to understand who your customers are, what interests them, and where they spend their time. We then build campaign structures that target the right people at the right stage of their buying journey.
From lookalike audiences and custom audience segments to dynamic ad creative and retargeting funnels, we leverage every tool in the Meta advertising ecosystem. Combined with our social media marketing and digital marketing services, Meta Ads become a powerful driver of leads, sales, and brand awareness.
Unlike search advertising where users actively look for solutions, social media advertising lets you proactively reach people based on their demographics, interests, behaviours, and online activity. This makes Meta Ads ideal for building brand awareness, generating demand, and nurturing prospects through your sales funnel.
Instagram is particularly powerful for visual brands, ecommerce, and lifestyle businesses. Facebook offers the broadest audience reach and the most sophisticated targeting tools available on any social platform. Together, they give Edinburgh businesses a complete paid social strategy.
Our Meta Ads management integrates seamlessly with your broader marketing efforts. Whether you are already running Google Ads for search intent or investing in SEO for long-term organic growth, adding Meta Ads creates a multi-channel approach that captures customers at every touchpoint.
Full-funnel Facebook and Instagram advertising solutions
We identify your ideal customer profiles and build precise audience segments. Using Meta's targeting tools, we reach people by demographics, interests, behaviours, job titles, and more, ensuring your ads reach the people most likely to convert.
We create lookalike audiences based on your existing customers, website visitors, and email lists. This allows Meta's algorithm to find new people who share characteristics with your best customers, expanding your reach while maintaining quality.
Compelling visuals and persuasive copy are essential for Meta Ads success. We design scroll-stopping ad creatives, write engaging copy, and produce video content tailored to each platform and placement format.
Not everyone converts on their first visit. Our retargeting campaigns re-engage website visitors, cart abandoners, and video viewers with tailored messaging that brings them back to complete their purchase or enquiry.
We continuously test ad variations, audiences, placements, and bidding strategies. Every element of your campaign is refined based on real performance data, ensuring your budget delivers the highest possible return.
We implement and configure the Meta Pixel, Conversions API, and event tracking to measure every meaningful action on your website. This data powers campaign optimisation and provides clear attribution for every lead and sale.
A proven framework for paid social success
We analyse your market, competitors, and existing data to define your target audiences and campaign objectives. We map out a full-funnel strategy covering awareness, consideration, and conversion stages.
Our team designs ad creatives and writes copy tailored to your brand and audience. We produce multiple variations for A/B testing across different formats, including image ads, carousel ads, video ads, and stories.
With the Meta Pixel configured and audiences built, we launch your campaigns. Daily monitoring ensures budgets are pacing correctly, ads are delivering, and any issues are addressed immediately.
We analyse performance data weekly, scaling winning ads, pausing underperformers, and testing new variations. Monthly reports give you full visibility into spend, results, and return on ad spend.

Common questions about our Facebook and Instagram advertising services
We recommend a minimum monthly ad spend of around 500 pounds for meaningful results, though this varies by industry and objectives. Our management fees are separate from your ad spend and are based on the scope of your campaigns. Contact us for a tailored recommendation.
Boosting a post is a simplified way to promote content with limited targeting and optimisation options. Meta Ads Manager provides full control over audience targeting, ad placements, bidding strategies, creative testing, and conversion tracking. Professional campaigns consistently outperform boosted posts.
We use a combination of custom audiences (based on your website visitors, email lists, and customer data), lookalike audiences (people similar to your best customers), and interest-based targeting. We also layer demographic and behavioural filters to ensure precision.
The Meta Pixel is a small piece of code installed on your website that tracks visitor actions like page views, add to cart, and purchases. It is essential for conversion tracking, retargeting, and campaign optimisation. We set up and configure the Pixel as part of our service.
Initial results, including traffic and engagement, can be seen within the first few days. However, the Meta algorithm requires a learning phase of approximately 7 to 14 days per ad set. Optimal performance and stable cost per acquisition typically develop over 4 to 6 weeks.
Yes. Our team designs ad creatives including static images, carousels, and short-form video content. We produce multiple variations for testing and ensure all creative meets Meta's specifications and best practices for each placement.
Absolutely. While Meta is often associated with B2C, Facebook and Instagram offer powerful B2B targeting options including job titles, company size, industry, and professional interests. LinkedIn-style targeting is possible on Meta, often at a lower cost per lead.
We track key performance indicators including return on ad spend (ROAS), cost per acquisition (CPA), click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate, and revenue generated. Monthly reports provide full transparency into campaign performance and how it relates to your business goals.
