Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I budget for PPC in Kenya?
It depends on your goals, industry, and competition. At Nelium Systems, we help you set a realistic monthly budget based on expected cost-per-click (CPC), target conversions, and desired ROI — whether you're spending KES 20,000 or KES 500,000+.
How quickly will I see results from a PPC campaign?
Most clients start seeing traffic and leads within 1–3 days of launching. For optimized performance, we recommend allowing 2–4 weeks for A/B testing and campaign refinement. Our goal is fast traction and long-term returns.
Can you track conversions from WhatsApp clicks, form submissions, and phone calls?
Yes — we integrate tracking across all key actions using Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, and other tools. Whether it’s a form submission, WhatsApp message, or product purchase, we track it and show it in your dashboard.
What makes Nelium Systems different from other PPC agencies?
We don’t just run ads — we build and manage full performance funnels. From ad copy to landing pages, tracking to reporting, we manage every step. And unlike most agencies, we offer transparent dashboards and weekly optimization reports.

How PPC advertising actually works in Kenya in 2026
Most Kenyan businesses running Google or Meta ads are setting fire to money in slow motion. Conversion tracking misconfigured. Bid strategies left on default "maximize clicks" instead of "maximize conversions." Audiences targeted by interest categories that don't exist for the Kenyan market. Creative that hasn't been refreshed in six months. We audit dozens of accounts a year and the median waste rate is about 40%.
Done right, paid ads in Kenya are still one of the fastest paths to scalable revenue. Done wrong, they're an expensive way to feel busy. Below is how we run paid acquisition for Kenyan SMEs, regional brands, and Kenya-based ecommerce stores.
Conversion tracking is the entire game
If you can't measure exactly which ad, keyword, audience, and creative produced a paying customer, every other optimization is guesswork. The first thing we do on every engagement is rebuild conversion tracking — GA4 + platform pixels + server-side tagging where iOS or browser privacy controls are killing data accuracy. For ecommerce, we connect WooCommerce or Shopify orders directly to ad platforms via Conversions API. For lead-gen, we use offline conversion uploads to feed actual sales data back into the ad platform's machine learning.
Google Ads — search intent is sacred
Most Kenyan SMEs running Google Ads are targeting broad-match keywords that pull in irrelevant traffic. We use exact-match and phrase-match for high-intent keywords, with negative-keyword lists that get refined weekly. Bid strategies are matched to the funnel stage — "maximize conversions" for bottom-funnel transactional keywords, "target ROAS" for ecommerce, manual CPC for tightly-controlled brand campaigns.
Meta Ads — creative is the algorithm
Targeting on Facebook and Instagram has become almost commoditised post-iOS 14. The lever that still moves the needle is creative. We produce 4–8 fresh creatives per campaign every 14–21 days, test ruthlessly, and feed winners more spend. Vertical short-form video (Reels) consistently outperforms static creative by 2–4x in cost-per-result for Kenyan consumer audiences.
TikTok Ads — Kenya's most under-priced ad inventory
CPMs on TikTok Kenya are still 60–80% lower than Meta for comparable audiences. The catch is that TikTok creative requirements are completely different — native, founder-led, lo-fi, 15–30 seconds, audio-first. Brands that try to repurpose Instagram creative on TikTok consistently underperform. We script and produce native TikTok creative or coach client teams through it.
LinkedIn Ads — expensive but unmatched for B2B
LinkedIn CPMs in Kenya are 3–5x higher than Meta, but for B2B services targeting C-suite or procurement decision-makers, LinkedIn is the only platform with reliable targeting. We use Sponsored Content + Conversation Ads for top-of-funnel, then retarget with LinkedIn lead-gen forms or Meta. Average B2B LinkedIn lead in Kenya costs KES 4,000–8,000 — high, but the conversion rate to enterprise contracts justifies it.
How we manage paid ads at Nelium
Audit and setup (weeks 1–2)
Existing-account audit, conversion tracking rebuild, audience research, keyword research (for Search), creative brief and production. Most clients get cleaner data in week 2 than they've had in years.
Testing phase (weeks 3–8)
Disciplined campaign launches, daily monitoring, weekly creative refreshes. We treat the first 60 days as data collection — finding the winning audience-creative-keyword combinations.
Scale phase (months 3+)
Doubling down on winners, expanding to new audiences and platforms, and creative-system improvements (always-fresh-pipeline of new ads). Monthly reporting includes spend, leads, CAC, and ROAS — not the vanity metrics most agencies hide behind.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum ad budget that makes sense in Kenya?
For Google Search Ads on competitive Kenyan keywords (insurance, loans, web design): KES 30,000–50,000/month minimum. Below that, you don't generate enough data to optimize. For Meta Ads on top-of-funnel awareness: KES 25,000–40,000/month. For local-service businesses targeting one neighbourhood, KES 15,000–20,000/month can produce results.
Do you mark up ad spend or charge a percentage?
No markup, no percentage. Flat monthly management fee. Your ad spend goes directly to Google, Meta, or TikTok — we never touch it. We bill our management fee separately. This eliminates the perverse incentive most "percentage-of-spend" agencies have to push your budgets up regardless of performance.
Which platform should I run ads on first?
Depends on intent. Google Search Ads if customers are actively searching for your category. Meta or TikTok Ads if you're building demand for something people don't know they need yet. LinkedIn for B2B services. We typically test 2 channels in parallel for the first 60 days, then double down on whichever is producing leads at sustainable cost-per-acquisition.
How long until ads produce leads?
Google Search Ads on bottom-funnel keywords (e.g. "emergency plumber Westlands"): leads in week 1. Meta lead-gen campaigns: 7–14 days for the algorithm to find your audience. TikTok Ads: 14–21 days for creative testing to find a winning angle. The first 30 days are calibration; consistent results land in months 2–3.
Can you take over an existing ad account?
Yes. We do free audits of existing Google Ads, Meta Ads, and TikTok Ads accounts before quoting. About 70% of audits we run reveal substantial waste — bid strategies misconfigured, audience targeting too broad, conversion tracking broken, or campaigns optimized for the wrong objective. The audit alone often pays for the first month's management.
