Performance Marketing
PPC, paid social, marketplace ads and affiliate, where every dollar is traceable to a measurable action, in every market you buy media in.
Trusted by industry leaders
Paid channels without financial discipline are just expensive experiments
Performance marketing exists for one reason: to make paid acquisition profitable. That starts with a return you can measure for every channel and campaign.
Scaling paid spend without attribution is scaling risk
When tracking breaks, attribution becomes unreliable, and budget decisions are based on platform-reported numbers that no one can verify. Performance marketing starts with measurement integrity, because you cannot optimize what you cannot prove.
Channel-specific agencies optimize their channel, not your margin
A Google Ads expert optimizes Google Ads. A Meta expert optimizes Meta. Nobody owns the question that matters: which dollar, in which channel, actually drives revenue? Performance marketing as one governed domain forces that cross-channel accountability.
Paid traffic stops when the budget stops
Unlike search or content, paid channels build no assets. That makes efficiency critical: every dollar needs to carry its weight. Performance marketing is where CRO, landing page optimization, and attribution directly protect ad spend from waste.
Marketplace advertising follows different rules
Amazon, Google Shopping, and category marketplaces have their own bidding logic, attribution models, and competitive dynamics. Performance marketing treats this layer as a separate commercial channel with its own service path.
Five capabilities inside one performance system
Each one is a service you can buy separately. Inside the performance marketing domain, budget moves between all five based on the same revenue data.
Paid search and shopping
Google Ads, Bing Ads, and Google Shopping, managed against ROAS targets. Bid strategy, keyword architecture, and landing page alignment designed to make every click count.
- + Search and shopping campaign management
- + Bid strategy tied to revenue targets
- + Landing page alignment with search intent
Paid social
Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Telegram Ads, run with structured creative testing, clear audience context, and attribution to revenue. Each campaign is judged on profitable acquisition.
- + Platform-specific campaign strategy
- + Creative testing and iteration cycles
- + Attribution that connects social spend to revenue
Marketplace advertising
Amazon Ads, marketplace promotions, and category-specific paid placements. Managed as a separate performance channel with its own ROAS logic and bid management.
- + Marketplace ad strategy and bid management
- + Product listing optimization for paid placement
- + Revenue tracking inside marketplace ecosystems
Affiliate and partner acquisition
For acquisition that scales through partners alongside direct paid media. Affiliate programs designed for quality, with tracking, fraud prevention, and performance-linked payouts.
- + Affiliate program design and partner recruitment
- + Performance tracking and fraud detection
- + Payout optimization tied to actual revenue
Attribution and conversion support
The measurement layer that keeps performance marketing honest: cross-channel attribution, incrementality testing, and CRO support that protects ad spend from landing page waste.
- + Cross-channel attribution modeling
- + Incrementality and lift testing
- + CRO for paid traffic landing pages

Five entry points into a performance programme
Performance budgets are rarely rebuilt all at once. These are the five pages buyers open before the first scope is agreed.
PPC audit
The fixed-price scope most engagements start with: account structure, wasted spend, bid logic and tracking, reviewed before budget moves.
PPC management
Google Ads, Bing Ads and Shopping run against revenue targets, usually the largest line in a performance budget.
Paid social
Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and Telegram Ads bought for acquisition, with creative testing cycles and attribution attached.
Analytics and attribution
The measurement layer that keeps ROAS honest across channels. Without it, every budget decision runs on platform-reported numbers.
All marketing domains
Performance marketing is one of nine domains. Compare it with search, growth, brand and product marketing before committing spend.
Performance marketing results
The work should produce a return on ad spend that can be measured and traced to business impact.
"Promoting such a large number of products in various languages was hardly a trivial undertaking, but they handled it professionally. They took care of auditing, configuring analytics, and context development. During our year-long collaboration they significantly increased the indicators for our ad campaign, which was already profitable. The gradual integration of new countries and languages further increased the influx of new users and orders while enhancing the scope of the advertising component of our business. Thank you, Alconost!"
"We are fully satisfied with the results of Alconost's work on our projects. Despite our rather complex requirements, everything was done quickly, clearly, harmoniously, and professionally. We had our own manager who oversaw all issues related to creating multiple landing pages and conducting PPC campaigns. He was always available and quickly responded to any requests, which was very convenient. Highly recommended!"
Questions buyers ask about performance marketing
What is the difference between performance marketing and growth marketing?
Performance marketing focuses on paid acquisition where every dollar traces to a measurable action. Growth marketing covers the full funnel including conversion, retention, and lifecycle. They often work together: performance drives traffic, growth makes that traffic more valuable.
Which paid channels do you manage?
Google Ads, Bing Ads, Google Shopping, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn, TikTok, Telegram Ads, Amazon Ads, and marketplace-specific platforms. The choice depends on where your buyers are and which channel has the strongest unit economics for your business.
How do you handle attribution across channels?
We build a cross-channel attribution layer that connects ad spend to actual revenue. Platform-reported conversions are checked against that revenue data. This includes server-side tracking, incrementality testing, and reporting that shows which dollars actually drove business outcomes.
Can I start with one channel?
Yes, and that is usually the right approach. Start with the channel where spend is highest or performance is weakest, fix the measurement and optimization there, then expand to additional channels when the data supports it.
What is the best first step?
A performance audit: cross-channel spend analysis, attribution health check, and landing page conversion review. It shows where the biggest efficiency gains are and gives the next campaign decisions a solid data foundation.
