Performance Marketing
That Prints Revenue.

Stop burning cash on "Brand Awareness." We engineer data-driven campaigns on Google, Meta, and LinkedIn with a singular focus: Profitability (ROAS).

The "Spray & Pray" Era is Over.

Running ads is easy. Making money from ads is hard. Most Performance Marketing Agencies focus on vanity metrics like "Clicks" or "Reach." But you can't pay salaries with clicks.

At Citual, we act as Financial Traders, not just marketers. We buy media only when the math makes sense. By combining AI Bidding Strategies with relentless Creative Testing, we lower your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) while scaling your volume.

From Google Ads in India to LinkedIn B2B campaigns in the USA, here is our 8-step engine for predictable growth:

Step 01

Forensic Tracking Audit (The Foundation)

GTM SetupServer-Side TrackingAttribution Models

Garbage in, garbage out. Before spending a rupee, we audit your tracking. We fix broken pixels, set up Server-Side tagging (CAPI), and ensure your Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is actually recording revenue, not just clicks.

We define "Micro-Conversions" (Scrolls, Video Views) to feed the ad algorithms faster, even before the final sale happens.

Audience Signal Mining

First-Party DataLookalike ModelingIntent Signals

We don't just target "Age 25-45." We mine your CRM data to build Lookalike Audiences based on your highest-paying customers (LTV).

On Google, we target High-Intent Signals—users who recently searched for your competitors or specific solution keywords, ensuring we only pay for "wallet-out" buyers.

Creative Engineering

UGCStatic vs VideoHook Testing

In 2025, Creative is the Targeting. We don't guess; we test. We launch systematic tests of Hooks (the first 3 seconds), Angles (Emotional vs. Logical), and Formats (UGC vs. Polished).

We iterate rapidly. If a creative doesn't hit our CTR (Click-Through Rate) benchmarks in 48 hours, we kill it. If it works, we scale it.

TOF (Top of Funnel): Educate & Disturb (Broad Targeting).

We dominate Google Search Ads by focusing on Quality Score. Higher scores mean cheaper clicks. We relentlessly mine "Search Terms" reports to add Negative Keywords, ensuring you never pay for irrelevant traffic.

Meta (Facebook/Instagram) is for demand generation. We use "Advantage+" AI campaigns combined with human psychological triggers to find buyers before they even search.

For B2B, we execute LinkedIn Ads targeting specific Job Titles and Companies, ensuring your whitepapers reach the C-Suite, not the interns.

Clicks don't pay bills; conversions do. We don't send traffic to your homepage. We build dedicated Landing Pages engineered for one goal: Conversion.

We analyze Heatmaps and Scroll Depth to see where users drop off, then tweak headlines and CTAs to improve your Conversion Rate (CvR) instantly.

Ad Protocol FAQ

Your Money. Our Answers.

Common questions about budgets, platforms, and expected returns.

It depends on your niche and CPA targets. Generally, we recommend a minimum ad spend of ₹50,000 ($600) per month for Google/Meta to gather enough data for the AI algorithms to optimize effectively. Anything less often results in slow learning phases.
They serve different purposes. Google Ads captures High Intent (people actively searching for you). Facebook/Instagram Ads generate Demand (people who don't know you yet but fit your persona). For best results, we typically build a hybrid funnel using both.
No honest agency can 'guarantee' ROAS because external factors (your product, pricing, market) play a huge role. However, we guarantee Process and Transparency. We define KPI targets before launch and only scale spend when we hit those profitability benchmarks.
This is usually a CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) issue, not an ad issue. You might be sending traffic to a slow homepage instead of a dedicated landing page, or your offer isn't compelling. Our Forensic Audit will pinpoint exactly where the leak is.
Yes. In Performance Marketing, creative is the biggest lever. Our team scripts, designs, and edits high-converting static images and video ads (UGC style or Motion Graphics) specifically engineered to stop the scroll.
