More detail

Instagram ads management is about using a visual platform the way it was built to be used. Instagram ads run through the same Meta system as Facebook, so we manage both together for maximum reach and a single, accurate view of results.

Strategy and account structure

When it fits
You want ads built around a goal, not a guess.
What we do
A strategy around your goal, then a clean account structure.
More detail

Before we spend a penny we map a strategy around your goal, whether that is traffic, leads, product sales or growth, then build a clean account structure that makes it easy to spot winners and cut what is underperforming.

Our answers are backed in writing by our Transparency Guarantee. Take the list with you and compare.

    YesYes. If we think another platform would work harder for your budget, we say so plainly before you spend.

    NoOne fixed monthly management fee, based on your package. Never a cut of your ad spend.

  3. Does my ad budget go through you?

    NoNo. You pay your ad budget to the platform direct, so you stay in full control of it.

  4. Do I own my ad accounts and audiences?

    YesYour ad accounts, audiences and data stay yours, under your own logins. If you ever leave, you keep everything.

  5. Am I tied into a long contract?

  6. Are the ad images made with AI, and do you say so?

  7. What if I want more than one platform?

    YesEach package runs your ads on one platform. Each extra platform is half your package’s monthly price: £73 on Starter, £148 on Lite, £223 on Standard and £348 on Elite. Compare social media ads packages.

  8. Is the set up fee shown up front?

    Yes£195 on Starter and Lite, free on Standard and Elite, shown in your quote beside the monthly fee.

  9. Do I get an account manager?

Your first 90 days

  1. Day 1Kickoff and auditWe learn your business and audit your account, or build from scratch.
    More detail

    We start by talking to you about your goals and objectives, and learning as much about your business as possible, with a questionnaire and a detailed discussion with our team. We cover your return goals, what makes your business stand out and how we can maximise your results as your paid social agency.

    We then analyse any existing account data and research your competitors to give us a strong foundation. If you are new to paid social, we research the audiences who will respond to you and how they use each platform. Together with your questionnaire, that tells us how to build or fix your campaigns for the best return.

  2. Typically week 1Build and launchCampaigns built, tracking set up, ads written and live.
    More detail

    We cannot improve what we cannot measure, so one of the very first steps is to configure conversion tracking correctly. This shows which ads and audiences generate phone calls, emails, forms and, of course, sales. Our in-house technical experts work with you to make sure every conversion is tracked accurately.

    Using what we learned in the first stage, we then craft campaigns that encourage people to buy or get in touch, using the campaign types most likely to give the results you expect. We let you know when our initial work is complete and give you the chance to review the new campaigns and give feedback, because working together gives the best results. Once you are happy we go live and start to collect data, and we provide regular reports on progress.

  3. Weeks 2 to 4OptimiseWe gather real data and tune targeting and creative.
    More detail

    After launch we focus on collecting meaningful data rather than making knee-jerk changes. We monitor audiences, placements, devices and locations to understand how real customers are interacting with your ads. That early data gives us the evidence to make smart decisions instead of guesswork.

    Using the first wave of data, we begin initial optimisations: refining audiences, updating ad copy and creative, and adjusting budgets. At this stage we are still in the learning phase, so the goal is to steadily improve efficiency and cut obvious waste, not to achieve perfection overnight. We are transparent: it usually takes a couple of months of testing and optimisation before performance really settles into its stride.

  4. OngoingGrow and reportA monthly report and strategy session, then continuous optimisation.
    More detail

    We provide a detailed monthly report and arrange a meeting to walk you through the results and plan the next steps together. We are very transparent: we do not expect campaigns to be highly profitable straight away, and it can often take three or more months of data and refinement before performance really takes off.

    Each month we use the previous month’s data to refine your campaigns further: testing new ideas, reallocating budget towards top performers and reacting to seasonal trends. We continue regular review meetings so we can collaborate on the approach, align with your wider business goals and keep pushing results forward.

What we do

Get discovered by ready-to-buy customers on Instagram

Instagram ads management services put your business in front of the right people while they are actively discovering new brands and products.

More detail

Posting great content is only half the battle. If you want to reach thousands of potential customers who have never heard of you, paid Instagram advertising is the fastest way to get there, and we manage it for you.

With over 35 million UK users active on Instagram, paid advertising puts you in front of people organic reach alone simply cannot reach. With 15 years of experience and hundreds of five-star reviews, DPOM builds and manages Instagram campaigns that are creative, data-driven and focused on return on investment. We do not set up campaigns and hope for the best: we use human expertise, continuous optimisation and platform best practice to make every pound of your ad spend count.

Instagram suits visual, lifestyle and product-led brands particularly well, and we produce the image creative to match the platform, with AI video clips as an option. Your management fee is a fixed monthly amount based on your package, never a percentage of your ad spend, so your costs stay predictable as you scale. There are no long-term contracts, you cancel with 31 days’ notice, and you always own your ad account, your audiences and your data.

Why DPOM

An Instagram ads partner you can actually trust

A fixed monthly fee, so our job is to make your budget go further, not bigger.

More detail

Instagram ads management with DPOM is a fixed monthly fee. As a Google Partner with 15 years of experience and over 4,000 UK businesses helped, we apply the same disciplined, white-hat approach to paid social that has earned us hundreds of five-star reviews.

You get a UK team who know your business and your numbers, with your own account manager from Lite upwards and support tickets on Starter, never an offshore call centre. You have full ownership of your ad account, audiences, Pixel data and creative, so nothing is ever held hostage if you leave. There are no long-term contracts, because we earn your business every month. And you get honest, plain-English reporting that ties spend to real leads and sales, with clear recommendations for what to do next.

Whether you want to drive traffic to your website, grow your following with ready-to-buy prospects or generate sales directly through the platform, we build an Instagram ads strategy around your budget and report on what it returns, with every pound of ad spend accounted for.

Full-service campaigns

Instagram ads management services that cover the whole job

From the first Reel to the final report, our Instagram ads management services handle everything your campaigns need to win attention and turn it into enquiries and sales. Every campaign is managed by our senior UK team, not left to automated rules.

Creative for every format

Reels, Stories and feed placements each behave differently, so we build and test creative for each one rather than stretching a single asset across all three and hoping. Winning ads get more budget, tired ads get replaced, because on Instagram even the best creative wears out.

Targeting and retargeting

We build audiences from your customer data, lookalikes and interests, then retarget engaged viewers, profile visitors and website traffic to bring warm prospects back to buy. Wasted reach is trimmed out with careful exclusions, and as results come in we shift budget towards the audiences producing enquiries at the best cost.

Tracking and reporting

Pixel and Conversions API tracking wired in from day one, so every enquiry and sale is attributed properly. You get a plain-English monthly report showing exactly what your spend returned, for a fixed monthly fee rather than a percentage of spend.

This service suits any business that wants paying customers from Instagram, not just likes: local services, e-commerce, hospitality and anyone whose customers scroll. There is no long-term contract, so the results have to justify the fee every single month. Want the day-to-day side of your account handled too? Our Instagram management for small businesses covers organic posting, while this page is all about paid ads. See our full paid social management, plus Facebook ads management and LinkedIn ads management. Wondering what the ads themselves cost? Read our UK guide to Instagram ad costs on the blog.

Our Instagram ads management is run by our UK team on a fixed monthly fee from £145, with a named account manager from Lite upwards. Because Instagram and Facebook share the Meta system, your ads can run on both from one account. Compare social media ads packages.

What is included

Is there an Ads Manager for Instagram?

Instagram ads run through the same Meta system as Facebook ads, so both platforms are built and managed in one place. DPOM runs Facebook and Instagram together for maximum reach and a single, accurate view of results, with tracking on every lead and sale rather than vanity likes.

What is Instagram Ads management?

Instagram Ads management is the full service of planning, building, running and optimising paid advertising on Instagram so you do not have to learn the platform yourself. It covers strategy, audience building, Reels and Stories creative, conversion tracking, testing and reporting, all handled by our UK team for one fixed monthly fee, with your own account manager from Lite upwards.

Do Instagram ads run through Facebook?

Yes. Instagram ads run through the same Meta advertising system as Facebook, so we manage them together. That means shared audiences, a single Pixel and one accurate view of results, while still tailoring the creative and placements specifically to how people use Instagram.

What kind of creative do you produce for Instagram?

Instagram is built on imagery, so we produce stunning still creative for Feed and Stories, with AI video clips for Reels as an option from £75 a month. We write the captions and calls to action, test multiple variations, and refresh creative regularly to beat ad fatigue.

Which Instagram placements do you advertise on?

We test and optimise across Feed, Stories, Reels and Explore, because each placement performs differently for different businesses. Rather than guessing, we let performance data show us where your ads generate the best return, then weight budget towards the placements that work.

Can you set up Instagram shopping?

Yes. For product-led brands we can set up Instagram shopping so people can browse and buy straight from your ads and posts. Combined with the Meta Pixel and conversions API, this lets us track and optimise towards actual sales rather than just clicks or follows.

Fit and results

Is Instagram advertising right for my business?

Instagram suits visual, lifestyle and product-led brands particularly well, where strong imagery and video can showcase what you offer. If your customers are on Instagram and your product or service is visual, it can be a powerful channel. If we think another platform fits better, we will tell you honestly.

How do you track results from Instagram ads?

We install the Meta Pixel, the conversions API and the relevant tags so every lead and sale is tracked back to the exact ad, not just impressions or likes. That data lets us optimise towards your cost per lead or return on ad spend, and we report on it in plain English every month.

Will I own my Instagram ad account and creative?

Yes, always. You keep full ownership of your ad account, your audiences, your Pixel data and the creative we produce. We work inside your Business Manager rather than holding it ourselves, so nothing is ever held hostage and you lose nothing if you decide to leave.

How long until Instagram ads deliver results?

Many campaigns generate early leads or sales within the first few weeks, then improve as they gather data and we refine the targeting, creative and placements. We are transparent that it usually takes a couple of months of testing and optimisation before performance really settles into its stride.
