Paid Social Advertising in Ely
A business chasing cathedral visitors and a Lancaster Way supplier selling to a procurement manager need almost opposite paid social strategies. One needs Meta or TikTok creative, the other needs LinkedIn targeting the right job title. As a paid social agency we don't treat in-platform return as the decision-making number, because every platform tends to claim credit for the same sale. Instead we judge campaigns on blended revenue across the whole business, and we make enough genuinely different creative to keep an Ely account from fatiguing.

About us
Clickscope runs Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn campaigns for Ely businesses, judged on blended revenue rather than platform-reported return. We're a Cambridge digital marketing agency 25 minutes down the road, so paid social support comes with real visits, not just video calls.
Our MISSION
Judge the account on the bank, not the dashboard
We set up Conversions API and event deduplication properly, then judge blended revenue across the whole business before trusting a single platform's own report of itself.

Creative volume over targeting alone
We test several genuinely different creative angles a month, because the algorithm finds the right buyer once the creative tells it who that is.
How we run paid social for Ely businesses
01 / How we work
The right platform, honestly
Meta suits short decision cycles and the visitor trade, TikTok needs native video at real volume, and LinkedIn suits Lancaster Way's business buyers on job title, not the cheapest download.

Blended return, not platform-reported ROAS
Total revenue against total spend is the first measure, followed by a lift or geo test where budget allows, with platform metrics used only to compare creative.

Nothing locked to us
Ad accounts, pixels and audiences stay in your name, with the creative files and campaign structure yours to take if you leave.
Client Results
We grew one client's monthly sales from £3,700 in advertising spend to between £130,000 and £190,000. Google Ads, not social specifically, drove that growth, though the method matched: fix tracking, prove the maths, then increase spend only where it kept paying. It was that one client's result, not a formula.

FAQ
The questions you actually want answered
Do we need to meet in person for you to run our paid social?
Not necessarily, most work happens remotely, though we're about 25 minutes from Ely by car if a strategy session in person is useful.
What budget do we need for paid social to work in a market the size of Ely?
You need enough spend to get statistically meaningful results on several creative concepts within a month, usually a few thousand pounds monthly at minimum in most UK markets.
Are we committed to a contract with this?
No. Paid social runs rolling monthly with 30 days' notice, and your ad accounts are in your name so there's nothing to negotiate over if you leave.
How quickly can we expect to know if paid social is delivering results?
Two to three weeks is typically enough to see whether the creative is landing, as engagement and cost per result move quickly. Business level profitability usually needs a full purchase cycle.
Do you produce the ad creative or just run the campaigns?
Both, using our own video and design capability, or we can brief and test creative your own team produces.
Do you run LinkedIn as well as Meta and TikTok for Ely businesses?
Yes. Lancaster Way's engineering and agri-food suppliers often suit LinkedIn, while the visitor and hospitality side tends to suit Meta or TikTok instead.
Do you only run paid social for Ely businesses?
No. Our work spans Cambridgeshire and reaches into Suffolk, Essex and Hertfordshire too, with Ely clients sitting alongside businesses in several other towns we cover.
Would you be able to fix the landing page the ads send traffic to?
Yes. Web design and development sit in-house, so a page that's losing paid social traffic can be fixed alongside the campaign itself.
What should we expect in the first month of running paid social?
We set up Conversions API and event deduplication, agree the platforms and audiences, then test several creative concepts and report on what is landing from week one.
How do you measure whether paid social is genuinely adding revenue?
Through blended return across the whole business first, then a lift or geo test where budget allows, with platform metrics used only to compare creative against creative.
Ely is a small market. Is there really enough audience here for paid social to work?
It depends which side of Ely's economy you're targeting. A tight local radius suits the visitor trade, while Lancaster Way's business buyers are often better reached on LinkedIn.
