Performance marketing companies: Compare them on proof.
Every company says it’s the best. Ask who its clients are, who counts the results and whether it promises a return. Here are our answers for Google and Meta ads, with named proof.
Clients include H.N. Industries, Arsaa Jewels, Duraca Plast and WowEye.

Comparing performance marketing companies?
- “No. 1” and “best” on every page
- ROAS figures for clients nobody names
- Guaranteed returns
- Named clients, dated figures and the source of each
Ad costs keep rising, and a wrong choice costs months of spend before the numbers show it. Lists of the best performance marketing agencies rank claims, not results. Compare performance marketing companies on what you can check: whose clients, which dates and where each figure comes from.
01
“They all say they’re the best.”
Ask for named clients with dates. Ours are on our Work page, starting with the four in 05 below.
02
“Their ROAS comes from Google.”
We count enquiries and sales in your own analytics, and mark the ad platforms’ figures as theirs.
03
“They promise a return.”
Nobody controls your market. We show recorded results instead of guarantees.
04
“The leads are in their report, not our inbox.”
Every form, WhatsApp click and call is recorded on your own site, so you can check it.
02 · What to ask
Questions to ask performance marketing companies
Before you pick the best performance marketing agency in India off a list, ask each one these six questions. Our answers are below each; the work itself is on our performance marketing agency page.
Proof
Ask who.
Who the clients are, and who does the work.
Which clients can you name?
A result without a client’s name can’t be checked.
Ours: H.N. Industries, Arsaa Jewels, Duraca Plast, WowEye, Aditya Hospital and eight more on our Work page, each with dates.
Where does each figure come from?
The ad platform’s count and your own records can differ.
Ours: every figure names its source: your analytics, your store, or “as reported by Google”.
Who builds the landing pages?
An ad is only as good as the page it sends people to.
Ours: our own developers, with a page per product and forms, WhatsApp and call buttons.
Numbers
Ask how.
How results are counted, reported and promised.
What counts as a result?
Clicks, reach and impressions are not results.
Ours: sales, enquiry forms, WhatsApp clicks and calls, recorded in your Google Analytics.
Can we see what you spent?
Results without the spend behind them tell you little.
Ours: a monthly report that sets total ad spend against what came in.
Can you guarantee a return?
Results depend on your product, price and market.
Ours: no. We show recorded results instead, like the four in 05.
03 · Counting
How ad results should be counted
Google and Meta count what they credit to their own ads. Your website and store count what reached you. We use both and say which is which.
Your records
Count it yourself.
What your own website and store record.
Enquiry forms
A thank-you page after each form, counted in Google Analytics.
Tropical Solar: 4 enquiry forms in the first 10 days of ads; Google Ads reported the same 4.
WhatsApp clicks and calls
Each tap on a WhatsApp or call button, recorded as it happens.
H.N. Industries: 217 WhatsApp clicks in 12 months from its new tarpaulin page.
Sales
Store orders recorded with their value.
WowEye: Google Ads recorded no purchases from November 2025 to April 2026 while its purchase tag was broken. We restored it.
Platform figures
Mark theirs.
What Google and Meta report, labelled as theirs.
Conversions
What the ad platform credits to its ads, by its own rules.
Arsaa Jewels: Google Ads counted 11 conversions; Google Analytics recorded 18 enquiry forms.
Calls from ads
Taps and calls Google links to an ad: its count, not answered calls.
Aditya Hospital: 1,557 phone taps and calls credited to Google Ads in February–October 2026, as reported by Google.
Cost per result
Spend divided by your own count, not only the platform’s.
H.N. Industries: Google Ads reported 0 conversions, so we set spend against the forms its page recorded.

Arsaa Jewels
18 enquiry forms in seven weeks of ads, at ₹624 each by Google Analytics’ count
A new lab-grown diamond page and a seven-week Google Ads campaign. Google’s own count was 11 conversions at ₹1,021 each; we report both.
Cost per enquiry, two counts
Online store · Google Ads
WowEye

06 · Red flags
How Zero Dimensions compares
The warning signs that come up when you compare performance marketing companies, and what we do instead.
| What matters | Zero Dimensions | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Returns | No guarantee; recorded results instead | A guaranteed ROAS, or “5x in 60 days” |
| Proof | Named clients, dated figures | Percentages for brands nobody names |
| Counting | Your analytics; platform figures marked as theirs | Only the ad platforms’ own figures |
| Reports | Spend set against results, every month | Clicks, impressions and reach |
| Landing pages | Built by our own developers | Every ad sent to the home page |
| Getting started | One product line or one platform first | A strategy pitched before anyone asks about your business |
A warning sign is a reason to ask more, not proof of bad work. The best performance marketing agency for your business is the one whose numbers you can check.

08 · Cost
What do performance marketing companies charge?
You pay your ad budget to Google or Meta, plus a fee: usually a fixed monthly amount, a share of ad spend or a price per lead. We don’t publish a price list, because no two accounts need the same work. Our fee depends on five things.
The platforms, Google, Meta or both, and how many campaigns.
How many products, projects or locations the ads cover.
How many landing pages we build or change.
How much ad creative you need each month.
What tracking needs setting up before launch.

Performance marketing companies: FAQs
They run paid ads, mostly Google Ads and Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram, and are judged by what the ads bring: sales, enquiries and calls. A performance marketing services company usually runs the campaigns, the ad creative, the landing pages and the tracking. A digital performance marketing agency does the same work under another name.
Start with proof, not rankings. Many lists of the best performance marketing agencies are published by agencies themselves. Ask each company for named clients in your industry, the dates and source of each figure, and how it counts a result, then compare the answers.
Not on its own. ROAS as reported by Google or Meta counts what the platform credits to its ads, which can differ from your own records: for Arsaa Jewels, Google Ads counted 11 conversions while Google Analytics recorded 18 enquiry forms. Ask which figure a company quotes, and for which client.
No. Results depend on your product, price, market and competitors, so a guaranteed ROAS is a warning sign. We show recorded results instead, with the source of each figure, like the four above.
You pay your ad budget to Google or Meta, and a fee to the company: usually a fixed monthly amount, a share of ad spend or a price per lead. We price each plan in ₹, with the work it covers written down. Tell us what you need and we send one.
Yes. We run ads from Ahmedabad for clients across India, such as Aditya Hospital in Rewari, Haryana, and manufacturers who sell India-wide. If you need a global performance marketing agency with offices in many countries, we’re not that: our team works from i-Hub, KCG Campus, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad.
Not in the pay-per-lead sense. Some lead generation marketing companies sell online marketing leads at a price each. We run the ads, landing pages and forms that bring enquiries to your own business, and count them in your own analytics: H.N. Industries’ tarpaulin page brought 217 WhatsApp clicks in its first 12 months.
Google Ads (once called AdWords, so you may have searched for an adwords marketing company) reach people already searching, which suits manufacturers and hospitals. Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram reach people as they scroll, which suits stores. YouTube performance marketing usually runs through Google Ads too: Performance Max campaigns, like WowEye’s, can also show ads on YouTube.
Not always. Performance based online marketing means paying per lead or per sale, so the deal depends on who counts the result and how. Before you sign with any company paid this way, ask whether a lead is a form, a call or a sale, and whose records decide.
Ads can bring enquiries within days: Duraca Plast’s first enquiry form came 6 days after its ads started. Costs take longer to settle; its cost per enquiry form fell from about ₹1,400 in May to ₹816 in June 2026.
