Facebook Advertising Agency FAQs
Looking for a Facebook advertising agency but not sure where to start? We've put together answers to the most common questions businesses ask when searching for a trusted partner. This FAQ covers what you need to know before hiring a Facebook advertising agency, from pricing and services to results and red flags.
Clutch identifies and recognizes firms that drive ROI through targeted Facebook ad campaigns using a proprietary methodology. The top Facebook ad companies for Fall 2025 include:
A Facebook ad marketing company plans, builds, and optimizes paid campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and the Meta Audience Network. These providers typically work on various aspects of the Facebook ad process, including the following:
- Market research
- Audience segmentation
- Creative production
- Budget allocation
- A/B testing
- Continuous performance monitoring
The goal is to lower cost-per-acquisition (CPA) and increase return on ad spend (ROAS) while keeping messaging consistent with your broader marketing strategy.
- Who will be my day-to-day strategist and what’s their experience?
- How do you structure campaigns for prospecting vs. retargeting?
- What is your creative testing framework and refresh frequency?
- How do you attribute conversions across devices and channels?
- What tech stack or tools do you use for reporting and optimization?
- Can you share ROAS benchmarks from similar businesses?
Partnering with specialists accelerates learning curves, provides access to premium creative talent, and frees your team to focus on product or sales. Agencies also leverage bulk media buying data to spot trends earlier and negotiate beta-program access with Meta.
- Guaranteed results or “secret” algorithms
- Lack of access to your ad account or data ownership
- One-size-fits-all creative with no testing roadmap
- Vague reporting or metrics that don’t map to revenue
- High employee turnover that disrupts account continuity
Finding the ideal Facebook ad marketing agency can be challenging, considering the variety of agencies you can partner with. Start your selection process by defining clear KPIs—ROAS, lead volume, or app installs to know what criteria to set. After that, you can follow these steps:
- Review case studies in your industry
- Check Clutch ratings and verified client feedback
- Compare pricing and service transparency (do they share media plans and real-time dashboards?)
- Evaluate communication cadence and project management tools
- Request a performance forecast based on historical data
Shortlist 3–5 agencies and ask for a strategic proposal before signing. Leverage Clutch’s directory, resources, and filters to guide your search.
According to data we’ve gathered here on Clutch, most agencies charge either:
Monthly retainer rates that average around $1,500 – $10,000 (ad spend excluded). Value or percentage-based pricing that usually ranges from 10%–20% of managed media spend.
Smaller projects (e.g., a one-time campaign audit) can start around $1,000, while enterprise-level engagements with dedicated creative teams may exceed $25,000 per month. Factors that influence price include campaign complexity, geographic targeting, creative volume, and the agency’s seniority.
Facebook ad marketing agencies generally provide the full range of services and solutions needed to execute compelling ad campaigns on Facebook. If you plan to hire a dedicated partner, you can expect to have access to services such as:
- Campaign strategy and goal setting
- Ad creative design (e.g., static, video, carousel, Reels)
- Pixel implementation and conversion tracking
- Audience building (e.g., look-alikes, retargeting, interest, demographic)
- Budget management and bid optimization
- Ongoing split testing and reporting dashboards
- Cross-channel integration with Google Ads, TikTok, or email marketing
Some full-service teams also handle landing-page design, funnel automation, and Shopify or WooCommerce integrations. Make sure to inquire about their expertise and additional services when discussing your project with a potential partner.
Agencies offer multidisciplinary teams—strategists, designers, copywriters, analysts—under one roof, ideal for scaling budgets and audiences. Freelancers can be cost-effective for smaller spends or single-channel experiments but may lack bandwidth for 24/7 optimization, advanced analytics, or rapid creative iteration.
