Get Shouting Marketing Academy: Should You Run Ads Yet? | GET SHOUTING

Should You Run Ads Yet?

Ads amplify what already works; they rarely fix what does not.

Paid ads amplify what already works; they rarely fix a broken offer or silent organic channel. So, ideally, you are running ads after you have a strong signal of what messaging works based on your organic channel performance.

Organic social is the least expenssive way to determine what resonates. Get Shouting can generate conversion-oriented posts directly from your store, products, or URLs. We then report on which posts and channels perform best, so you can make informed decisions where to spend your ad dollars.

Read How Paid Ads Work and the platform lessons (Meta, Google, TikTok) first, then use this checklist before spending.

Why It Matters

Running ads before basics work burns budget learning what organic would have taught you free.

What to Do

  1. Posting consistently on organic platforms for 30-90 days.
  2. You know which product or offer converts organically.
  3. Conversion tracking plan ready before scaling spend.
