01 - Context

Where things stand

Tagling is a brand-new smart QR pet tag preparing to launch into the Australian market. The product is built, the brand voice is distinctive, and the site is in place behind a password gate. What isn't yet built is the paid acquisition infrastructure needed to go from zero to meaningful customer volume - no ad accounts live, no tracking verified, no creative in market.

This proposal covers exactly that gap - the infrastructure, accounts, and creative needed to switch on Google and Meta as paid channels, plus a validation month to establish baseline performance before anyone talks about scale. We deliberately keep Phase 1 to two channels so the team can focus on learning fast, cleanly, and without splitting attention; TikTok is recommended as a post-validation expansion once Google and Meta are proven. It does not include rebuilding landing pages; we'll provide comprehensive written feedback on the homepage and product page's copy, hierarchy, and CRO instead, so the product team can action what matters before spend ramps.

Tagling is an emotional purchase - "the worst day that never comes" - and the creative brief reflects that. Meta leans on reunion stories, privacy control, and the "whole system" framing the brand already owns. Google captures high-intent search (lost-pet, QR pet tag, AirTag-for-dog) and Shopping at the bottom of the funnel. Static and video are built together so the same angles can run across placements and formats, and so the same creative pool can extend to TikTok later without rework.

The core problem: a brand-new product with zero paid acquisition running. A cold-start launch means nothing compounds until tracking, accounts, and creative are live - so the whole engagement is about making the first paid dollar accountable, generating the first signal, and setting up the evidence base that every subsequent decision will draw on.

02 - Phase 1: Setup & Launch

Build the foundation

A one-time fixed-fee engagement to advise on conversion tracking, build and populate Google and Meta ad accounts with static and video creative, deliver landing-page feedback, and run a managed validation campaign to prove the channels out. Tracking implementation is handled by Tagling's team with our guidance.

01

Conversion Tracking Advisory

General advice and recommendations on what to track and how to set it up - your team handles the implementation.

  • Recommended GA4 setup and configuration approach
  • Google Ads conversion event recommendations (purchase, add-to-cart, trial start)
  • Meta Pixel + Conversions API (CAPI) guidance via Shopify's native Meta integration
  • Shopify enhanced e-commerce event mapping recommendations
  • Gold membership trial/upgrade as secondary conversion event
  • UTM framework recommendations across all campaigns
  • Available for questions during your team's implementation; QA is your team's responsibility
02

Google Ads - Full Setup

Account build, keyword research, campaign structure, and ad copy - ready to launch on approval.

  • Google Ads account build, billing, and conversion wiring
  • Keyword research (intent-led, AU-focused)
  • Brand, generic, and competitor search campaigns
  • Google Shopping feed integration (via Shopify/Merchant Center)
  • Performance Max campaign structure (where appropriate)
  • Responsive search ads -10+ headline, 4+ description variants per ad group
  • Negative keyword seed list and exclusions
03

Meta Ads - Full Setup

Facebook + Instagram ad account structured for testing, with audiences and creative in place from day one.

  • Meta Business Manager, ad account, and pixel linkage
  • Campaign structure: prospecting, retargeting, broad/lookalike testing
  • Audience build - interest, behavioural, lookalike, custom
  • Placements mapped to creative formats (Feed, Reels, Stories)
  • Catalog integration for dynamic product ads
  • Primary + secondary conversion optimisation wired to CAPI
04

Creative Development

Static image ads and video ads built around Tagling's own voice - emotional, premium, privacy-forward.

  • Static: 4-6 image variants across 3-4 angles (reunion stories, privacy, "more than a tag", 11-second scan-to-owner)
  • Carousel format using the three-moments framework (Pick / Activate / Scan)
  • Video: 2-3 angle concepts, each edited into 6s / 15s / 30s cuts
  • Formats delivered in 9:16 (Reels/Stories) and 1:1 (Feed)
  • Ad copy variants aligned to each creative angle
  • Built from Tagling-supplied footage and imagery where available - or AI-generated (Seedance 2.0 or similar) where footage isn't on hand. No live-action shoot days required.
05

Landing Page Feedback

A written CRO and copy audit of the live mytagling.com homepage and product page - actionable, not decorative.

  • Above-the-fold hierarchy, CTA clarity, and price visibility
  • Trust signal review (review attribution, badges, guarantees)
  • Gold membership positioning and value-ladder placement
  • Conversion friction, form behaviour, and checkout observations
  • Ad-to-landing-page message match across planned campaigns
  • Prioritised recommendation list, ranked by effort vs. likely lift
06

Validation Campaign

One month of managed paid campaigns across Google and Meta to validate channels, audiences, and creative. Deliverables per channel:

  • Google Search: 3 campaign themes (brand, category-intent, competitor) - up to 10 responsive search ads across ad groups
  • Google Shopping / PMax: Product feed live, asset groups populated with static and video creative
  • Meta (Facebook + Instagram): 4-6 static creatives + 2-3 video angles - audience testing across interest, lookalike, and broad
  • Daily monitoring and weekly optimisation during the validation month
  • Baseline performance report: CAC, ROAS, CTR, conversion rate by channel and creative angle
  • Channel and creative recommendation for scale-up
03 - Phase 2: Ongoing Retainer

Scale what works

Month-to-month engagement. No lock-in. Optional - based on validated performance from Phase 1, we manage and optimise paid acquisition, refresh creative, guide CRO, and report on what's working. If paid isn't performing, we don't want to be sending invoices.

Recommended Media Budget

Paid directly to platforms - not managed by us

~$1,500 per channel /mo

Ad spend is paid directly to Google and Meta. We don't take a percentage of spend and never will, our incentives stay aligned with yours. $1,500 per channel is enough to generate useful learning signal during the validation month, or $3,000/mo total across Google + Meta. Budget can expand (and TikTok can be added as a third channel) once validation data is in hand. We'll advise on reallocation based on what performs.

05 - The Maths

Return on investment

The economics of a paid acquisition engagement at this scale are straightforward. Setup is a one-off cost, the retainer is month-to-month, and both are designed to be recovered many times over through the incremental orders they generate - plus the Gold membership LTV those orders unlock downstream.

Month 1
Tracking live. Google + Meta live. Validation data in hand.
2-3x
Blended ROAS target for validated channels post-ramp
LTV+
Gold subscription attach compounds CAC into multi-year revenue

The LTV lever: a tag is a one-off purchase, but Gold is a $23.99/year subscription that attaches at checkout and renews annually. That turns every new customer into a multi-year revenue stream - which is what makes paid acquisition sustainable at the AOV of a physical pet tag. The job of this engagement is to win that first purchase profitably, then keep winning it as scale climbs.

08 - How We Work

Terms & approach

No lock-in

Month-to-month after the setup phase. If it's not generating revenue, we don't want to be sending invoices.

No % of spend

We charge a flat retainer. We'll never take a cut of your media budget - our incentives stay aligned with yours.

Transparent reporting

Weekly check-ins during active campaigns. Monthly summaries tied to business outcomes. You'll always know what's working.

Diagnose first

We run a validation campaign before scaling. Decisions are driven by data, not assumptions.

Senior specialists

Your account is managed by the founders - Brad and Robin - not handed off to juniors.

Revenue, not cost

We measure success by orders and LTV generated, not impressions delivered. If the orders aren't landing, something needs to change.
