Better results on Meta and Google.
Or you pay nothing.

We take over the accounts and make the ads ourselves. You pay a share of what we earn you.

We check tracking and ads on Google and Facebook. Takes a second.

Online store or service business?

We build it differently, because what you need is different.

A quick tip

This works really well right now.

Ads that look organic are beating polished ads right now. Here are three we're running for our clients at the moment, in three different formats: a Facebook thread, a phone photo with stickers and a phone note. None of them look like advertising.

We're sharing them because most people spend too much time polishing and too little time testing. Feel free to steal the principles.

Facebook commentsUtvendig Renhold
Facebook comments ad for Utvendig Renhold

Looks like an ordinary thread where neighbors ask for advice. Customers recommend, and the business replies in the comments itself. People stop because it looks like something they could have written.

Phone photo with stickersMokki
Mokki ad: sunglasses on the asphalt with the text Best buy before kindergarten starts

The sunglasses lie on the asphalt among chalk drawings, shot on a phone. Instagram-style text and a hand-drawn arrow. It looks like a parent tipping off the others, not an online store selling.

Notes adUtvendig Renhold
Notes ad for Utvendig Renhold

Looks like a note on a phone. One claim, a few short points and one call to action. No logo in the image and no ad slogan, just what the homeowner ought to know.

This is what a week with us looks like.

Google and Meta find the customers. Our job is to give them enough good ads to choose from, every single week.

Monday

We dig into what customers say

Searches, comments and reviews become angles.

Midweek

Every angle becomes an ad

Jona makes one ad per angle and customer type.

Friday

10+ new ads go live

Winners get more budget. The rest we switch off.

↻ Then again next week. Illustration of a typical week.

We make everything ourselves. Not just the ads.

Campaigns, ads, landing pages and tracking. One partner, no middlemen, no freelancers to wait on.

Landing pages

Campaign pages for your online store and landing pages with forms for leads. Built for ad traffic, not for your website menu, and they're yours.

Behind Arcads.

Arcads is a Norwegian performance marketing agency in Skien that runs Google Ads and Meta Ads and makes the ads itself, for clients all over Norway. We mostly work with online stores and service businesses that live on leads, often with multiple locations.

Creative and Social Media Performance

Jona makes the ads you see on this page. Videos, statics and concepts. 10+ new ones a week don't make themselves.

Jona on LinkedIn

We got tired of agencies that invoice whether it works or not, so we built our own. No middlemen, no salespeople. You get us.

Why people leave their agency for two guys in Skien.

One partner instead of a slow agency, a freelancer you have to chase, or yet another evening in front of the ad account yourself.

Frequently asked questions

What do I get in the free proposal?+
We look at your business and make a concrete proposal: ads and a landing page the way they would look for you, with your brand and your customers. You get it by email within a couple of days. No pitch, no commitment. If you don't like it, all you've lost is two minutes filling in the form.
Who is the proposal for?+
Established businesses already spending NOK 30,000 or more a month on advertising, or that have the capacity and the appetite to do so. We take our time with every proposal, so we prioritize businesses where advertising can actually move the bottom line. If you're smaller than that, feel free to read our articles first.
Do you work with online stores?+
Yes, several of our clients are online stores, including Mokki, Leid.no, QualiPet and Redz. There we optimize for profitability, not just revenue: a clean product feed, Shopping and Performance Max, campaigns on Meta, and tracking that counts every purchase once. For businesses that live on leads, we build separate campaigns and landing pages per service or city instead.
What does “100% performance-based” mean?+
That the bill depends on results, not on hours, meetings or nice-looking reports. If we don't deliver, you don't pay. We agree on the exact model on the first call.
What does it cost?+
You pay a share of the value we create, not a fixed monthly fee. For it to work for both of us, the ads need to create enough value that our share comes to around NOK 20,000–30,000 a month. If you don't earn more, you pay us nothing.
How do I know it was you who made the sale?+
The first thing we do is set up tracking properly (Google Ads, Meta Pixel and GA4). Then you don't have to take our word for anything. You see every sale and every lead in black and white in the Monday report.
Do you make landing pages too?+
Yes. Ads that send people to a generic website convert poorly, so we build dedicated landing pages for the campaigns. They're included, and they're yours.
Is there a lock-in contract?+
No, no lock-in contract.
How quickly can you get started?+
Tracking is set up first. Then the first ads go live, usually within the first week. We make everything ourselves, so there are no freelancers or agency partners to wait on.
