What is a new customer worth to you?
And what’s reasonable to pay for one in advertising, so you still make a profit.
Three reasons that come up in almost every account we take on, in lead-gen businesses and online stores alike.
Illustration, for any business that sells through advertising
Out of every ₪100 that comes in from advertising, you keep ₪16.
The Google and Meta report only shows the first column: how many sales or leads advertising brought. We manage by the last column, and continuously check what can be moved to make it grow.
The campaign went live and nobody touches it. The ads wear out, and the budget keeps flowing to audiences, products and searches that don’t bring money.
With us: close monitoring inside the account. We switch off, replace, and scale only what’s profitable.
70%
of online store carts are abandoned before checkout
The click arrived, the money didn’t
A lot of money is lost after the ad, on the way from click to payment.
In a store: abandoned carts, a slow product page or a clunky checkout.
In lead gen: a lead waiting hours for a call. In a study of 114 companies, fewer than 1% got back to a lead within 5 minutes.
With us: advertising doesn’t end at the click. We check the page, the checkout and how fast leads are called back, and show you exactly where money is being lost.
Sources: cart abandonment per the Baymard Institute (an average of 70.22% across dozens of studies). Lead response time per a Workato study of 114 companies.
How we work
This is how we bring your profit back
01
We start from profit
Before a single ad, we work out how much you can pay for a customer. Every decision is measured against the money you keep, not against clicks.
02
Close monitoring inside the account
We switch off what doesn’t bring customers, replace ads before they wear out, and scale up gradually only what’s winning.
03
It’s all yours, all transparent
The accounts are in your name, the price is agreed upfront, and a weekly report shows what we did and what it brought.
Your first month with us
Not a shekel goes out before measurement is working. That way every decision after that rests on real numbers.
Week 1
Know the numbers
We work out how much you can pay for a customer and get access to the accounts.
Week 2
Fix the measurement
We check that every enquiry and purchase is counted, and only once.
Week 3
Go live
First campaigns, closely monitored. What doesn’t work is switched off fast.
Week 4
Scale what works
We sit down with the numbers and decide together where to invest more.

The difference
What’s the difference?
VS
SmolanskiMedia
A typical agency
Who manages the account
The person who built the strategy, from day one
A junior campaign manager, who keeps getting replaced
The standard of a big media agency. The attention of a boutique.
01
Where we come from
SMOLANSKI Media was founded by Pini Smolanski, after 10 years at Israel’s leading media and advertising agencies, where he ran advertising for some of the country’s biggest brands, with budgets where every decision is measured.
02
What we saw
Businesses that invest seriously in advertising and want that standard, but go to a big agency and get whoever is available, not the senior person who sat in the meeting.
03
How the agency is built
A senior media manager on every account, systems that monitor the accounts continuously and produce reports, and a partner social agency for creative. The same standard and working methods as a big agency, with personal attention.
“With us, your account isn’t handed to a junior team after signing. The person who builds the strategy with you is the person who manages the account and follows it closely, backed by monitoring and reporting systems and creative partners.”
The work was done within the media agencies, so brand names aren’t listed here. We’re happy to tell you more on a call.
Success story · An Israeli e-commerce brand
The platforms reported sales that didn’t happen. We fixed the measurement, and then the numbers came.
Before we came in
×5.6
That’s how much Meta “overstated” sales compared with what actually came into the store. Budgets were being split on the wrong data.
After we fixed the measurement
₪2.3Msite revenue in 15 months
8Google ROAS: every shekel returns 8
×3.5Google budget, at the same efficiency
₪321Krevenue in one month, the peak month
Without real measurement, every decision is a guess. We don’t guess.

The right fit
We’ll work well together if...
This is exactly for you if
You invest ₪10,000 a month or more in advertising, and want every shekel to prove itself
You have a product or service that already sells, and you want more of it
You care about how much profit is left, not just how many leads came in
You want someone available who knows your account in depth
We’re probably not a fit if
You want a promise of results before anyone has seen the data
You want to “have a presence on Facebook” with no business goal
You prefer an agency that sets up a campaign and disappears until the monthly report
Sound like what you’re looking for?
Half an hour, free. We’ll go through your numbers and tell you honestly whether your profit can grow.
SMOLANSKI Media is a boutique performance agency for paid campaign management on Google, Facebook and Instagram, TikTok, and Taboola and Outbrain. The agency was founded by Pini Smolanski, who has managed advertising for 14 years, 10 of them at Israel’s leading media agencies. We work with lead-generation businesses and online stores that invest ₪10,000 a month or more in advertising, and measure success by the profit they keep.
How is a boutique agency different from a big digital agency?
At a big agency the senior person comes to the meeting, and the account is usually managed by someone else. With us, the person you talk to is the person who manages the budget and follows it closely. You get the working methods of the big media agencies, with availability and personal attention.
How much does campaign management with you cost?
There are two parts. The media budget is paid directly to Google, Meta or TikTok, and with us it starts from ₪10,000 a month. Our management fee is set by the scope of work and the number of platforms, and the price is agreed upfront, with no surprises.
Which businesses do you work with?
With lead-generation businesses across Israel, such as insurance, finance, real estate and professional services, and with online stores. Our office is in Ra’anana.
Why is there less profit from advertising than the report shows?
For three main reasons. Google and Meta each count the same sale or lead for themselves, so the reports show more than actually came in. The report shows revenue, not profit, that is, before the cost of the product or service, operations and fees. And a lot of money is lost after the click: in online stores about 70% of carts are abandoned before checkout, and in lead-gen businesses, according to a study of 114 companies, fewer than 1% got back to a lead within 5 minutes.
What happens on the fit-check call?
Half an hour, free. We go through what you’re running, work out how much you can pay for a customer, and tell you honestly whether we can help.
How soon will we see results?
In the first two to four weeks the platforms are learning. Meanwhile we monitor the account closely, and don’t wait for the end of the month to fix things.
Whose are the ad accounts?
Yours. We only get permission to manage them, and if you leave, all the history stays with you.
What budgets do you work with?
From ₪10,000 a month and up. At budgets like that every decision is measured in thousands of shekels, and that’s where close account monitoring pays for itself. Below that, the platforms don’t learn fast enough, and we’d rather say so upfront.
Do you make the ads too?
Images and videos are made by a partner social agency, based on what the data shows is working. We’re responsible for the advertising and the results.
Google or Facebook: which is better?
If your customers are already searching for what you sell, Google catches them at the moment of the search. If you need to spark interest, Meta reaches them before they search. Usually the combination works best.
What do you need from us to get started?
Access to the ad accounts, someone who can add a small piece of code to the site (or we’ll help with that), and half an hour to get acquainted.
