Meta Ads vs Google Ads for Small Businesses
Meta ads or Google Ads? Compare how each platform works, typical costs, strengths and weaknesses, and which one suits your small business and budget.
Google Ads Management
When someone searches for exactly what you sell, you want to be the first business they see. INVO2 provides Google Ads management in Sri Lanka and the UK, running Search, Performance Max and YouTube campaigns built around your cost per lead and return on investment. We cut wasted spend, write ads that earn the click and make sure every conversion is tracked accurately.
Google Ads makes it easy to start spending and surprisingly hard to spend well. Broad keywords match irrelevant searches, automated recommendations quietly raise budgets and poorly structured campaigns compete against each other. Poorly managed accounts can waste a large share of their budget on clicks that could never convert.
Tracking is the other common gap. Without properly configured conversions, Google’s smart bidding optimises for the wrong goals — cheap clicks instead of valuable leads. Business owners see rising costs and cannot tell which keywords, ads or campaigns are actually generating revenue.
We start with accurate conversion tracking through Google Tag Manager and GA4, including enhanced conversions and offline lead imports where possible. With clean data in place, we build campaigns around high-intent keywords, add comprehensive negative keyword lists and use smart bidding strategies that target your ideal cost per acquisition.
Ad copy and assets are tested continuously, and landing pages are reviewed so the whole journey — from search to enquiry — converts. For e-commerce we manage Performance Max and Shopping with optimised product feeds, and for brand awareness we run targeted YouTube campaigns. Every month you receive a clear report tied to leads, sales and ROI.
Google Ads rewards precision. We build tightly themed campaigns, review search terms every week and bid towards real conversions — not clicks. Every account starts with a thorough audit, so you know exactly where money is being wasted before we change anything.
Our combined tech and marketing team means your landing pages, tracking and campaigns are managed together. If a page is slow or a form is broken, we fix it rather than simply reporting it, which is often the fastest way to lower your cost per lead.
For UK clients, we offer agency-quality management at a fraction of typical London rates, with reporting calls scheduled in UK hours. For Sri Lankan businesses, we focus on the high-intent local searches that turn into calls, bookings and visits.

You pay Google for clicks, and costs vary widely by industry. Many local service businesses start with LKR 60,000 to 150,000 per month in ad spend. Our management fee starts from LKR 40,000 per month on top of that.
They do different jobs. Google Ads captures people actively searching for your service, while Meta ads create demand among people who are not yet searching. Many businesses benefit from both; we will recommend the right mix for your goals and budget.
Yes. We manage campaigns for UK service businesses and e-commerce brands, with reporting calls scheduled during UK working hours and pricing in GBP.
Performance Max is an automated campaign type that shows your ads across Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display and Maps. It works best for e-commerce with a good product feed and solid conversion data. We use it where it will genuinely outperform other options.
By reviewing search terms weekly, building negative keyword lists, tightening match types, excluding poor locations and devices, and bidding towards real conversions rather than clicks.
Not necessarily, but your landing page has a huge effect on results. We review it before launching and can create a dedicated, fast-loading landing page if your current site is holding campaigns back.
