How to Allocate Budget Across Channels

Allocation should follow evidence.

Framework

Core (proven), growth (scaling), test (new).

Common mistakes to avoid

• Stopping campaigns before they have enough data
• Following up leads hours or days too late
• Changing too many things at once, so you can't tell what worked
• Letting the agency own your ad accounts

Quick checklist before you start

• Accounts and data in your business name
• Weekly review of results and search terms
• A follow-up process for every enquiry
• Conversion tracking tested end to end
• Landing page that matches the offer

Key takeaway

A framework to split budget across Meta, Google, TikTok and others based on intent, margin and incrementality. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
