Paid media optimised for qualified pipeline, not platform conversions.
Cardo works as a paid media and performance marketing partner that plans, runs and improves paid advertising across Google Ads, Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads — with offer, creative, landing page and tracking treated as one system, and decisions judged on qualified pipeline and marginal economics.

Platforms optimise for what you tell them — usually the wrong thing.
A PPC agency can hit a cost-per-lead target while sales drowns in unqualified form fills. When conversion events stop at the form, bidding algorithms learn to find cheap leads, not buyers. Paid media is not the constraint when the offer or the landing page cannot convert the traffic it already has.
- Cheap leads that sales never progresses
- Budget spread across channels without a clear role for each
- Conversion tracking that ends at the form submit
- Creative and landing pages disconnected from the offer
What Cardo plans and operates.
Channel selection
Which channels deserve budget, and what job each one does: capture demand, create it, or retarget it.
Google Ads
Search and Performance Max built around commercial intent, with query and negative control.
Meta & LinkedIn Ads
Audience, creative and offer testing where the buyer is reachable on these platforms.
Offer, creative & landing
Message consistency from ad to landing page to sales conversation.
Tracking & CRM feedback
Conversion tracking and offline conversions so platforms learn from qualified outcomes.
Experiments & economics
Structured tests and marginal cost per qualified opportunity, not blended averages.

What you receive.
- Paid media audit and channel plan
- Campaign builds across Google, Meta and LinkedIn as relevant
- Creative and landing page briefs

A strong fit when
- An offer the market already understands and wants
- Enough budget to learn within a reasonable time
- Willingness to connect CRM outcomes back to ad platforms
Not the right fit when
- Positioning or landing pages that do not convert existing traffic
- Budgets too small to reach statistical signal
- Success defined only by platform-reported conversions
Integrated-system proof.
Infinito Software is the relevant reference: Cardo rebuilt positioning, website, conversion architecture, tracking, SEO, outbound and paid acquisition as one system. As an early signal reported by the client, qualified conversations began entering the pipeline after roughly a year of very little commercial activity. That is integrated-system proof — it is not attributed to this channel alone, and it is a leading indicator, not a revenue claim.

Paid media depends on tracking and on a site that converts. It is often part of an Integrated Growth engagement.
- Which channels do you manage?
- Google Ads, Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads, chosen by where your buyers are and what job each channel needs to do.
- How is this different from a typical PPC agency?
- Optimisation targets qualified pipeline via CRM feedback, and offer, landing page and tracking are part of the scope.
- When is paid media not the right move?
- When the offer or the site cannot convert the traffic you already get. Then positioning or conversion work comes first.
