Performance marketing agency in Mumbai that turns ad spend into qualified leads.
We plan, launch and optimise your Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube and X ads, track every enquiry back to the click, and report on cost per lead and revenue, not just clicks. Full-funnel, transparent and accountable for every rupee.
What is performance marketing?
Performance marketing is paid digital advertising where you pay for, and judge, measurable results such as clicks, leads or sales, not just impressions. It spans Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube and X ads, with tracking, testing and optimisation that tie spend to revenue.
What do ABC Designs’ performance marketing services include?
ABC Designs, a digital agency in Andheri East, Mumbai founded in 2012, is a performance marketing agency running Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Display, Performance Max), Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn Ads, YouTube Ads and X Ads, plus remarketing, landing pages and conversion tracking. Every engagement starts with an ad account audit and a 90-day roadmap, and is reported monthly against cost per lead and revenue.
01 — Diagnosis
Why aren’t my ads generating leads?
Wasted ad spend almost always traces back to a short list of causes. Most accounts have two or three at once, which is why raising the budget rarely fixes anything.
Broken or missing tracking
You’ll notice: conversions in Google Ads or Meta that don’t match your real enquiries, and no way to say which campaign produced a sale.
How we fix it: GA4, Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Conversions API set-up, plus offline conversion import where leads close by phone.
The wrong channel for the goal
You’ll notice: awareness ads when buyers are searching, or search ads for a product nobody knows to look for.
How we fix it: Map each channel to a funnel stage and split budget accordingly.
Weak targeting and structure
You’ll notice: one catch-all campaign, broad keywords, overlapping audiences and a rising cost per lead.
How we fix it: Intent-based keyword structure, tiered audiences, negative keywords and exclusions.
Tired creatives and copy
You’ll notice: frequency climbing, click-through falling and the same ad running for months.
How we fix it: Structured creative testing, new angles every cycle and formats built for each placement.
Landing pages that leak
You’ll notice: good click-through but few enquiries, because the page is slow, generic or confusing.
How we fix it: Message-matched landing pages, faster load, shorter forms and a clear call to action.
No budget discipline or reporting
You’ll notice: budget spread evenly across everything and reports full of clicks.
How we fix it: Spend moved weekly towards winners, cost-per-lead and ROAS dashboards, and a monthly review.

03 — Paid media in 2026
Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube and X: which ads do which job
Each platform reaches buyers at a different moment. Google Ads reaches people as they search, Meta and YouTube reach them while they browse and watch, LinkedIn targets by job title and company, and X reaches people following live conversations. The strongest accounts combine them by funnel stage.
| Google Ads | Meta Ads | LinkedIn Ads | YouTube Ads | X Ads | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Capturing existing demand | Creating and nurturing demand | B2B lead generation | Awareness and consideration | Launches, news and conversation |
| Buyer mindset | Searching with intent | Browsing, open to discovery | Professional, researching vendors | Watching, learning, comparing | Following topics in real time |
| Main formats | Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Display | Reels, feed, catalogue, lead forms | Sponsored content, lead gen forms | In-stream, Shorts, in-feed video | Promoted posts, video, carousels |
| Typical goal | Leads and sales now | Leads, sales, remarketing | Qualified B2B leads | Reach, views, remarketing | Awareness and engagement |
| How we measure it | Cost per lead, conversion rate, ROAS | Cost per lead, CPA, ROAS | Cost per qualified lead, pipeline | View rate, assisted conversions | Engagement cost, clicks, assisted conversions |
Formats and targeting options change often, so we check each platform’s own documentation before building a plan: Google Ads Help, Meta Business Help Centre, LinkedIn Marketing Solutions and X Business. Ads win you the click; the page behind them wins the enquiry, which is why we also fix landing pages. Pair ads with our SEO services →

How long does performance marketing take to work?
Most accounts show early signals within 2–4 weeks and a stable cost per lead within 2–3 months of testing. The pace depends on your starting data, how competitive your market is and how quickly creatives and landing pages go live.
Launch & learn. Tracking verified, campaigns live and platform learning phases completed. First real data on what your market responds to.
Optimise. Weak keywords, audiences and creatives are cut, tests report back and cost per lead starts to steady.
Scale. Budgets move towards proven campaigns, new channels are added and ads become a predictable source of leads or sales.
Typical ranges, not a guarantee. Bars are illustrative.

08 — Our standards
Performance marketing: what we do, and what we never do
Shortcuts can burn a budget and get an ad account suspended. We follow Google Ads policies and Meta’s advertising standards, and each platform’s own rules, on every account.
We always
- Set up and verify tracking before we spend a rupee
- Keep your ad accounts, pixels and data in your name
- Show you where every rupee of spend went
- Test one thing at a time and log the result
- Report in plain numbers: cost per lead, cost per acquisition and revenue
We never
- Guarantee a fixed cost per lead, ROAS or lead volume
- Run ads that break platform policies or make misleading claims
- Pad numbers with junk traffic, incentivised clicks or fake leads
- Hide ad spend, fees or margins from you
- Scale budget before the numbers prove they hold up
09 — Pricing

12 — FAQ
Performance marketing: frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Ask for a free audit and we’ll answer them for your ad accounts specifically.
What is performance marketing?
Performance marketing is paid digital advertising where you pay for, and judge, measurable results such as leads, sales or sign-ups rather than impressions. It covers Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube and X ads, backed by tracking, testing and optimisation that tie every rupee of spend to an outcome.
How much does performance marketing cost in Mumbai?
It depends on how many platforms you run, your monthly ad budget, how much creative you need and how competitive your market is. Most agencies charge a management fee, and ad spend is paid separately to the platforms. ABC Designs quotes after a free ad account audit so the scope fits your goals.
How long does performance marketing take to show results?
Most accounts show early signals within 2–4 weeks, because ads can start generating clicks and leads within days of launch. A stable cost per lead usually takes 2–3 months of testing and optimisation. Results improve as tracking data builds and weak audiences, keywords and creatives are cut.
Which ad platforms should my business use?
Match the platform to how your buyers behave. Google Ads captures people already searching, Meta and YouTube create and nurture demand, LinkedIn reaches B2B decision-makers, and X suits news, launches and conversation-led brands. Most businesses start with one or two and add more once cost per lead is stable.
What’s the difference between Google Ads and Meta Ads?
Google Ads targets search intent: people typing what they want right now. Meta Ads target interests, behaviour and audiences while people browse Facebook and Instagram. Google tends to capture existing demand, and Meta tends to create it. Most businesses get the best results running both.
What types of ads do you run?
We run Google Search, Shopping, Display, Performance Max and local ads, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) lead and catalogue ads, LinkedIn Sponsored Content and lead gen forms, YouTube video and Shorts ads, X promoted posts, and remarketing across all of them. We recommend the mix after auditing your goals and budget.
How do I choose the best performance marketing agency in Mumbai?
Look for an agency that sets up tracking before spending, gives you ownership of ad accounts, reports in cost per lead and revenue, shows real client reporting, and refuses to guarantee fixed numbers. Ask to see an anonymised dashboard. ABC Designs is happy to be measured against all of these.
Can you guarantee leads, ROAS or a fixed cost per lead?
No. Platform auctions, competition and seasonality change daily, so no agency controls the outcome. We commit to a clear plan, verified tracking, transparent spend and steady improvement in cost per lead and return on ad spend, with every decision logged and explained to you.
Who owns the ad accounts and data?
You do. Your Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube and X ad accounts, pixels, audiences and data stay in your name. We work as admins or partners with the access we need, and you can remove us at any time, so you’re never locked in.
Do you manage ad creatives and landing pages too?
Yes. We write the ad copy, plan and test creatives, and improve landing pages so clicks turn into enquiries. If your team or another studio already produces creatives, we can work from those and handle strategy, media buying, tracking and reporting instead.
How do you measure performance and what reports will I get?
We report on leads, sales and revenue first, then cost per lead, cost per acquisition, ROAS, conversion rate and lead quality. You get a live Looker Studio dashboard and a monthly review call covering spend, what worked, what we cut and what changes next month.
What ad budget do I need to start?
There’s no universal minimum. You need enough budget for each campaign to gather meaningful data, and that depends on the cost per click and cost per lead in your market. After the audit we recommend a test budget, then scale it only when the numbers hold up.
Do you work with businesses outside Mumbai?
Yes. We’re a performance marketing company based in Andheri East, Mumbai, and we run paid campaigns for businesses in other cities and for brands serving national audiences. Shared dashboards, approval tools and regular calls mean location rarely matters.
Can you fix or take over our existing ad accounts?
Yes. We start with an audit of your current accounts, tracking and landing pages, show you where spend is being wasted, and agree a plan. You keep ownership of the accounts throughout, and we only restructure what the data says needs changing.
