FAQ

Everything people ask

How much does Hero Digital cost?

Management starts at R12,000 a month and is agreed as a fixed number before we start. Ad spend is separate, paid by you directly to Meta, Google and OpenAI, with a minimum of R10,000 a month. We never charge a percentage of spend.

Which platforms do you manage?

Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google (Search, Shopping, Performance Max) and OpenAI advertising inside ChatGPT. Most accounts run Meta and Google together; OpenAI is added as a third engine once the first two are profitable.

Do you work with brands that are launching?

Yes. A launch is fine; a launch without a budget is not. If you can cover the fee and at least R10,000 a month in ad spend from month one, apply and we will tell you what the first 90 days look like.

How fast will I see results?

Tracking, feeds and structure are fixed in week one. Most accounts show a clear improvement in cost per purchase inside 30 days and a scaling step inside 60. The case studies show the before and after over three to six months.

Do I own the ad accounts and the data?

Always. Accounts, pixels, feeds and audiences sit in your Business Manager and Google accounts. We are granted access, we never hold the keys.

What do you need from me?

Fast approvals on creative and offers, honest margin numbers so we can optimise for profit, and someone who answers leads or ships orders quickly. Everything else we handle.

What is the minimum ad spend?

R10,000 a month, paid by you directly to the platforms. Below that, Meta and Google do not generate enough conversions to learn from and we do not have enough data to make decisions.

Do you fund ad spend or bill it through you?

No. Ad spend is always paid by you on your own card, directly to Meta, Google and OpenAI. You see every cent in the platform.

What happens on the first call?

We look at your ad accounts and your site live, tell you what is broken and what it will take to grow, and give you a straight yes or no on whether we can do it. Thirty minutes, no deck.

How do you report?

A short weekly message with spend, revenue, return, new-customer share and the one thing we changed. A monthly review of strategy and budget. Live dashboards if you want them.

Do you fix tracking?

Yes, before any budget goes up. Conversions API, pixel deduplication, consent mode, Merchant Center feeds and Google enhanced conversions are part of the first week on every account.

Do you build websites?

Yes, and apps and brands. It is not what this site is for; if you need it, email info@herodigital.co.za and we will quote it separately.

Why R12,000 a month?

Because running an account properly takes the hours of a senior person every week: creative, feed, tracking, bids, reporting, and the thinking in between. Below that number an agency is either automating or ignoring your account.

Is there a setup fee?

No. The first week of tracking, feed and structure work is part of the first month.

Is there a contract or lock-in?

Yes, a short one. Every client signs an initial six-month term, because that is how long it takes to fix tracking, test creative properly and scale through at least one seasonal cycle. After six months it runs month to month with 30 days’ notice.

Ready to scale? Prove it.

Four questions, two minutes. If we are not a fit the form tells you before anyone’s time is spent. From R12,000 a month plus your ad spend.
