Paid Social Agency for eCommerce Brands

Meta, Instagram and TikTok ads run senior side and judged on store revenue

Your customers are not searching for you every day, but they are scrolling. Rococo runs paid social for Shopify and WooCommerce brands, with Meta at the centre and LinkedIn and TikTok where the audience justifies it, built to sell rather than to collect likes.

Creative is tested weekly, targeting follows the data, and the account is judged on the revenue that lands in your store rather than the number the platform reports.

Fit

Who paid social works for, and who should not hire us yet.

Most agency pages claim to work with everyone. Paid social punishes the wrong fit faster than any channel we run, so here is where the line sits for us.

This works if you have
  • A store with proven product market fit. Paid social scales what already converts. It is an expensive way to discover whether anything converts.
  • Margin that survives the auction. Roughly 40% or better after cost of goods and delivery, or repeat purchases strong enough that the second order pays for winning the first.
  • Room for both media and creative. The budget has to fund fresh ad variants every month as well as the spend itself, because fatigued creative is the usual reason accounts decay.
  • A B2B offer where one client pays for the year. LinkedIn clicks cost multiples of Meta clicks, and they are worth it when a single signed client covers months of spend. We run those campaigns too.
Do not hire us yet if
  • You need revenue this week. Testing cycles are measured in weeks and compounding in months. Anyone promising faster is guessing with your money.
  • Your margin is under about 20% after everything. No creative or targeting saves that arithmetic on cold traffic. The honest answer is that paid acquisition is not your channel yet.
  • You want posts boosted and fingers crossed. Boosting is renting reach. We build accounts with structure, measurement and a creative pipeline, and that is only worth paying for when you want the machine.
  • You expect Ads Manager to be taken at face value. Meta claims credit generously. We reconcile against your store revenue, and if you would rather see the flattering number, we are the wrong agency.

Under the spend floor further down this page, the better move is usually a clean tracking setup and our free Shopify store audit, then run it yourself until the spend justifies help. We will say so on a call rather than sell you a retainer.

What Our Clients Say

Paid Social Agency

Our Process for Paid Social Advertising

Paid Social Results

We judge campaigns the way you judge the business: on the revenue that lands, not the metrics that flatter.

  • Blended ROAS reconciled to your store. Ads Manager, GA4 and your Shopify or WooCommerce revenue rarely agree, so we report all three and tell you which one to trust.
  • Cost per new customer, not just cost per sale. Retargeting loves claiming customers who were coming back anyway, so new customer share gets its own line in the report.
  • Creative fatigue flagged before it bites. Frequency and cost trends per ad, so winning creative is replaced on schedule rather than after the decay.

“Rococo Digital turned our social ads into a consistent growth channel. Their creative and targeting expertise are unmatched.”

More Than a Paid Social Agency

Let’s Build Your Paid Social Strategy

The arithmetic

The two numbers that decide whether Meta ads make you money.

Your break even ROAS

Break even ROAS is one divided by gross margin. A store selling at £60 with a 60% margin keeps £36 per order, so it breaks even at a ROAS of about 1.7. At 30% margin the same store needs 3.3 before a single pound of profit appears.

That is why a target borrowed from a case study or another brand is meaningless. Targets on our accounts are set from your margin, per product group where the data allows it, with headroom above break even. Run your own numbers with our free ROAS calculator.

The gap between reported and real

Meta’s reported ROAS overstates what the ads truly added, because it claims credit for people who would have bought anyway, especially in retargeting and brand name audiences.

So we judge accounts on blended figures reconciled against Shopify or WooCommerce revenue and GA4, and where the spend justifies it we run holdout tests to measure what the ads actually caused. The flattering number is still in the report. It just does not set the strategy.

Meta ads

A Meta ads agency that reconciles against your store, not the dashboard.

Since iOS 14.5, Meta has been partially blind: users who opt out of tracking disappear from its view and modelled conversions fill the gap. Most agency websites still write as if the pixel sees everything. Running Facebook and Instagram ads well now starts with accepting what the platform cannot see.

Before we scale anything
  • Conversions API and first party data. Server side tracking on your Shopify or WooCommerce store restores a large share of what the pixel lost. We will not push budget through a pixel only setup.
  • A prospecting and retargeting split that holds. Accounts that pour everything into retargeting look brilliant for a quarter, then stall when the warm audience runs dry. Some spend that looks worse in platform is what keeps the machine fed.
  • Creative volume matched to spend. The higher the budget, the faster audiences burn through ads. The monthly variant count is agreed at scoping, not left to chance.
Calls we make per account, not by policy
  • Advantage+ Shopping, used with eyes open. Strong when an account has real conversion volume and a broad catalogue, opaque and flattering when misused. We tell you which side your account is on and why.
  • UGC against polished creative, tested rather than preached. Native looking ads usually win the feed auction on cost. Polished assets still carry consideration. The numbers pick the winner.
  • Instagram, Facebook, or both. Placement splits come from your data, not from a template.

Meta rarely works alone for a store. The search side of the same customers lives with our Google Shopping and eCommerce PPC teams, and the repeat revenue side with Klaviyo.

Cost

What it costs, and where the line sits.

How we charge
  • A monthly retainer scoped to the account, covering strategy, campaign management, creative production and reporting. We give you the figure on a call once we have seen what the account needs.
  • Never a percentage of ad spend. That model pays an agency more for spending more. Ours pays us for what the spend returns.
  • A one off audit or setup if you are not ready for management: tracking corrected, account restructured, yours to run, with the option to grow into a retainer later.
The spend floor

About £1,500 a month going to Meta is our honest floor. Below that, the algorithm cannot gather enough conversion data to learn properly and a management fee starts to eat the return it is meant to improve.

Under the floor, the right move is usually a clean setup and the free Shopify store audit, then running it yourself. We would rather tell you that on a call than take a retainer that cannot pay for itself.

Paid Social FAQs

Our knowledgeable team of Paid Social experts are always happy to help answer questions you may have. Below are a few common questions we are frequently asked.

What is paid social advertising?

Paid social advertising is the use of sponsored posts and ads on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok to reach targeted audiences and drive measurable business results.

Which social platforms do you manage?

We manage campaigns across Meta (Facebook & Instagram), LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube, tailoring creative and targeting to each platform’s audience.

How much should I spend on paid social ads?

About £1,500 a month going to Meta is our honest floor. Below that the algorithm never gathers enough conversion data to learn properly, and a management fee starts to eat the return it is meant to improve. Under the floor, the better move is a clean setup and a one off audit, then run it yourself until the spend justifies help.

What types of campaigns do you run?

We run awareness, engagement, lead generation, and conversion campaigns, each built around your brand goals and audience intent.

How do you target the right audience?

We use demographic, behavioural, and lookalike data to pinpoint your ideal customers, ensuring your ads reach those most likely to convert.

How do you measure success?

We lead with blended ROAS reconciled against your store revenue, cost per acquisition and new customer share, reported transparently so you see exactly what is working. Platform reported ROAS is in the report too, with its flattery discounted.

What makes Rococo Digital different from other paid social agencies?

We combine creativity with analytics, and the co-founders scope and run every account themselves rather than handing you to a junior after the pitch.

Do you create the ad visuals and copy?

Yes. Our in-house creative team produces the visuals, copy and video, at the monthly volume the account actually needs, because creative fatigue rather than targeting is the usual reason a good account decays. Native, UGC style ads and polished brand assets are tested against each other, and the numbers pick the winner.

Can paid social work alongside PPC and SEO?

Absolutely. Paid social creates demand while eCommerce PPC and SEO capture it, and the stores that grow fastest run them together, with email turning the traffic into repeat revenue.

How much does a paid social agency cost in the UK?

The UK market runs from a few hundred pounds a month with a freelancer to five figure retainers at large London agencies. We price as a monthly retainer scoped to the work in your account, and we will give you the figure on a call once we have seen it. One thing we will say publicly: we never charge a percentage of ad spend, because that model pays an agency more for spending more, not for spending better.

What ROAS should I be targeting?

There is no universal number, and a target borrowed from another brand is a common reason accounts underperform. Break even ROAS falls out of your gross margin: a store at 60% margin breaks even around 1.7, a store at 30% margin breaks even around 3.3. Your target should sit above your own break even with headroom, because the platform’s reported ROAS overstates what the ads truly added.

Why is my Meta ROAS lower than it used to be?

Usually the measurement changed more than the performance did. Since Apple’s App Tracking Transparency, Meta cannot see iOS users who opt out of tracking, so it fills the gap with modelled conversions. The fix is the Conversions API, first party data, and judging the account against your store revenue rather than Ads Manager alone.

Do I need the Conversions API on my Shopify or WooCommerce store?

Yes, before anyone scales your spend. The browser pixel on its own misses a meaningful share of conversions to tracking prevention and opt outs, and the algorithm optimises on whatever data it receives. We implement the Conversions API on Shopify and WooCommerce as part of onboarding, and we will not push budget through a pixel only setup.

Should I use Advantage+ Shopping campaigns?

Sometimes. Advantage+ Shopping works when an account has real conversion volume and a broad enough catalogue to give the algorithm choices. It also hides most of the levers and is happy to claim returning customers as new revenue, so on smaller or newer accounts we usually earn the data with structured campaigns first. It is a decision per account, not a policy.

How long before paid social is profitable?

Testing cycles are measured in weeks and compounding results in months. A typical account shows meaningful signal inside the first month and settles into dependable performance over a quarter. Paid social does not rescue this week’s revenue, and anyone promising that is gambling with your budget.

Who will actually run my account?

Jake Boase and Matthew Jones, the co-founders, scope and run every account, with the work done by our own team in West Sussex. Nothing is resold, nothing is outsourced offshore, and nobody hands you to a junior after the pitch.
