How do you launch Instagram advertising from scratch?.

Start with the goal and audience, not the budget

The common mistake is opening Meta Ads Manager and loading a budget straight away. The right path: first define the campaign goal (lead, site visit, reach), describe the target audience by interests and behaviour, prepare a visual creative in the right format (Stories — vertical 9:16, feed — square or 4:5, Reels — vertical), and only then set up targeting and bidding. Retargeting is added in the second phase, once the Meta pixel has gathered enough data.

  4. 4Install the Meta pixel on the site and configure events (lead, cart, purchase).
  5. 5Create ad sets with a test audience and a minimum daily budget.
  6. 6Run an A/B test with two or three creative versions to find the best performer.
  7. 7Monitor CPM, CTR and CPC for the first 3–5 days and pause under-performing ads.
  8. 8Once you have 50+ events, activate retargeting to the warm pixel audience.

How much does Instagram advertising cost and what affects the budget?.

Visual content is the foundation of effective Instagram campaigns.

Cost depends on niche, audience and the format chosen

The Instagram Ads budget has two parts: the media budget (payment to Meta for impressions and clicks) and the management fee (setup, optimisation, creatives). The media budget is individual for each client — it depends on niche, competition, geography and goal. Below is a reference of campaign formats and their purpose to choose a starting point.

Which Instagram Ads format delivers the best results?.

Stories and Reels deliver high reach; feed delivers stable conversions

There is no single "best" format — it all depends on the goal and product. For reach and viral spread, Reels work best because Instagram's algorithm actively promotes them beyond followers. Stories deliver high engagement and suit promotions and direct calls to action. Feed (photo and video) consistently converts an audience with more considered intent. Retargeting is effective in any placement when the Meta pixel is set up correctly. According to the platform itself, combining formats delivers better overall results than using just one.

Expert opinion

«According to Meta, Instagram has more than 2 billion monthly active users, and Stories and Reels formats deliver high reach and engagement, making the platform a strong choice for visual brands and products.»

Ads & traffic

Paid traffic

Paid ads on Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and YouTube — from €250 a month for management. Setup, daily bid work and reporting. We bring in targeted customers within your budget.

The price covers agency work; you pay the ad budget straight to the platforms and see it in your own account. Accounts, campaigns, audiences and creatives stay yours — if you leave, you take everything with you. We count leads and what they cost, not clicks: money in versus money out. The same work bought piece by piece would cost roughly twice as much.
