Performance marketing in Shillong judged on contribution margin
A performance marketing agency for Shillong businesses running Google, Meta, Shopping and retail media. We run the accounts, build the creative, and report CAC, payback and profit per order — not platform ROAS screenshots.
What we run for Shillong brands.
Search, Performance Max, Shopping feeds and YouTube, with location and radius targeting tuned to Shillong and nearby Guwahati.
Consolidated structure and creative-led testing, with regional-language variants where they lower CPM in and around Shillong.
Ten to thirty new concepts a month — statics, UGC, founder video and offer variants, because creative is the main lever left on both platforms.
Fast mobile landers, offer tests and form-friction removal. Usually the cheapest cost-per-acquisition reduction available in the first 60 days.
Call tracking, WhatsApp routing and CRM stage imports, so you optimise to qualified Shillong enquiries rather than raw form fills.
Spend, CAC, blended ROAS, contribution margin, creative-level results and next week's tests — one page your finance team can sign off on.
Paid-media benchmarks around Shillong.
| Metric | Typical range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Meta CPM | ₹90–₹260 | Typical range for Shillong delivery; festive quarters run higher. |
| Google Search CPC (commercial intent) | ₹15–₹110 | Finance, insurance, real estate and B2B sit at the top of the range. |
| Cost per qualified lead | ₹500–₹3,800 | Qualification rate, not cost per raw lead, is where most budget leaks. |
| D2C blended ROAS target | 2.2x–3.5x | The real floor is set by contribution margin, not a universal number. |
| Creative refresh cycle | 10–21 days | Frequency and CTR decay set the pace for retiring an ad. |
| Time to stable CAC | 6–10 weeks | Assumes enough weekly conversions per channel to exit the learning phase. |
Ranges are indicative for Indian accounts we operate and audit; your numbers depend on category, city tier and offer.
How the first 90 days run.
Account, feed and tracking audit. Server-side events, call tracking and a blended CAC model built before we change a single bid.
Account restructure, new creative batches, Shillong landing-page variants and a documented test calendar with one hypothesis per test.
Budget shifts toward proven creative-audience pairs, plus incremental channel expansion and a weekly scoreboard.
Straight answers.
What does a performance marketing agency in Shillong charge?
Retainers in Shillong typically run ₹60,000–₹2,50,000 per month depending on channel count, creative volume and spend under management. Ad spend is separate and paid directly by you to Google or Meta from your own accounts.
Do you work with Shillong businesses remotely?
Yes. Accounts are run remotely with a weekly call and a live dashboard, with on-ground shoots and meetings in Shillong arranged when the work needs them.
Which industries in Shillong do you serve?
We work across tourism, education and other categories active in Shillong and nearby Guwahati, including D2C, real estate, healthcare, education and B2B.
Is paid media cheaper in Shillong than in the metros?
Yes. Delivery in Shillong generally runs cheaper than metro CPMs, which makes tightly targeted local campaigns efficient — provided lead qualification is instrumented properly.
How soon do results appear?
Two to three weeks to read structure and creative signal, six to ten weeks to a stable cost per acquisition. Considered purchases with long sales cycles take a full quarter before payback is readable.
