We dig into what customers say
Searches, comments and reviews become angles.
Arcads is based at Jonas Lies gate 1, right in central Skien. We run Google Ads and Meta Ads and make the ads ourselves. We charge a share of what we earn you, not a fixed monthly price. If you're from Grenland, we're happy to have the conversation over coffee instead of on video.
We work the same way for a business in Porsgrunn and an online store in Oslo. Tracking is set up first, and payment is a share of what we earn you.

Most of our clients are based elsewhere in the country. One example is Utvendig Renhold, with 549 leads in 90 days across 9 regions.

Skien, Porsgrunn, Bamble, Notodden, Bø, Kragerø, Rjukan. We have an office in Skien and are happy to hold the first meeting there.
Telemark has lower search volume than Oslo. That means fewer leads per month, and it takes longer before Google has enough data for smart bidding, which needs around 15–30 conversions a month. For a business in Grenland, one well-built campaign is therefore often better than many small ones.
For businesses in Telemark, we do the same as for our clients elsewhere in the country: Google Ads measured on inquiries, Meta ads we make ourselves, and a report every Monday. The difference is that the first meeting can be at the office on Jonas Lies gate. We're a fit for established businesses with at least NOK 30,000 in monthly ad budget, wherever they're located.

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.
Victor is the one you meet on the first call. He builds your Google account and digs into the numbers. You get a report every Monday.
Victor on LinkedInJona makes the ads you see on this page. Videos, statics and concepts. 10+ new ones a week don't make themselves.
Jona on LinkedInWe got tired of agencies that invoice whether it works or not, so we built our own. No middlemen, no salespeople. You get us.
One partner instead of a slow agency, a freelancer you have to chase, or yet another evening in front of the ad account yourself.
