Meta ads built to bring enquiries, not likes.
Elevate Digital sets up and runs Meta ads for businesses across Nelson Mandela Bay. They are aimed at the people near your door and built to start a conversation: a message, a call, a visit.
Page totals, organic and paid together: Meta insights across the ten pages we manage, read 1 September 2026.
Every ad gets a job before it gets a budget.
No reach reports dressed up as results. Three things you can check against your own page and your own inbox.
One job per ad
A message, a call, or feet through the door for a special. Each ad is set up for one of them and aimed at the suburbs your customers come from, not the whole province.
A page that answers
An ad sends people to your page and your inbox. Our reply system, built in-house, answers every comment and message within minutes, at any hour, and handles price questions in private. Three posts a week mean there is something recent on the page when they land.
How we run the pageA monthly performance summary

01
Message us on WhatsApp
Send your page name. The free audit tells you what to fix on the page before any money goes into ads.
-
02
A 20-minute call
What the ad is for, who it should reach and the budget it runs on. Then one recommendation, not a menu.
-
03
Built, then reviewed by Meta
We would rather use your own photos and specials than stock images, because people recognise the place. Meta reviews every ad before it runs.

Tested small, scaled on enquiries
What brings messages gets scaled. What brings nothing is changed or stopped. The monthly summary shows what the ads brought in.

For businesses whose customers live nearby.
For
We already run pages for township shopping centres, SUPERSPAR and Build it stores, and local service businesses around the Bay. If your customers live close by and message before they buy, this is built for you.
Not for
- Anyone outside Nelson Mandela Bay. We only advertise where we work: Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Kariega and Despatch.
- Anyone who wants a start date promised. Meta reviews every ad on its own clock, so we do not promise one.
- Anyone who wants ads on a page nobody answers. The ads run next to the posts and the replies, not instead of them.
Questions owners ask about Meta ads.
No. The monthly fee pays for the work: the posts, the replies and running the ads. The ad budget is what Meta charges to show your ads, it is set out in your service agreement, and the amount is agreed with you before any ad goes live.
Not a fixed one. The right budget depends on your area, what you sell and your quiet months, so we size it with you on the call. A new ad starts small and only gets more behind it once it brings enquiries.
Not quite. A boost is the quick version: you pick a post, an audience and a budget from the page. Ours run through Meta's Ads Manager as full campaigns, often on a post already doing well on your page, so we can aim them at the right suburbs and back the ones that work.
No. A Meta ad can open a Messenger or WhatsApp chat with your business, ring your phone or send people to your page. A customer can ask their question without a website. If you have one, an ad can point there too.
Before you spend on ads, see what your page does with the people they send.
WhatsApp your page name to 066 293 3175. Joshua goes through it himself and sends back what the page does well, where it loses enquiries and what to fix first. If ads make sense for you, he will say so. If they do not, he will say that too, and you keep the audit either way.
