No lock-in contracts • Your ad account stays yours • New Zealand working hours

Control Shift is a Dubai-based agency managing Meta Ads for businesses in Tauranga and across New Zealand — with NZD pricing, communication scheduled around New Zealand working hours, and reporting you can check. Your ad account stays in your name and ad spend is paid directly to the platform.
Audience-led growth
Tauranga's rapid growth has created sustained demand across construction, trades, healthcare and professional services, while the Port of Tauranga and the surrounding horticulture sector drive substantial B2B search. Local competition has not scaled with the population, so businesses that publish genuine area and capability content frequently take leading positions across the region within a single quarter.
We translate that market picture into audience segments, creative angles and retargeting journeys that give Tauranga prospects a reason to act before they start searching.
Papamoa and Mount Maunganui are growing fastest and have their own local packs worth targeting separately.
Meta Ads Management
Deliberate cold, warm and customer segments built around who actually buys from you in Tauranga.
Test hooks, visuals and offers systematically so you learn what earns attention and action.
Reconnect with site visitors, video viewers and engaged profiles at the moment they are considering.
Pixel and Conversions API tracking so leads and purchases are attributed to the ads that caused them.
How we work
We review account structure, audiences and creative history, then verify the pixel, events and Conversions API so results are measured properly before spend changes.
Cold, warm and customer audiences are separated and matched to an offer that makes sense at that stage of awareness.
Hooks, formats and angles are tested in a structured way so winners are identified from evidence rather than opinion.
Budget moves toward the audiences and creative that produce qualified outcomes, with reporting on cost per result.
Industry-aware campaigns
The same budget, audience and landing page do not work for every business. We plan the account around what a qualified enquiry means for your team and the questions customers need answered before they convert.
Capability, capacity and certification creative aimed at trade buyers who research long before they contact a Tauranga supplier.
Capability and reliability creative aimed at operations decision-makers around Tauranga, with retargeting through the evaluation period.
Before-and-after and seasonal-offer creative shown to homeowners around Tauranga, with lead forms that qualify the job upfront.
Condition-aware and treatment-explainer creative aimed at nearby Tauranga audiences, with careful compliance on health claims and targeting.

Learn moreYes. We manage Meta Ads for businesses serving Tauranga, Bay of Plenty and the wider New Zealand market. Campaign structure, targeting and reporting are built around your offer, your service area and the conversion actions that matter to your team — not a template applied to every account.
Targeting follows the areas you genuinely serve. Around Tauranga that typically includes Tauranga central, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Bethlehem and Greerton, plus the surrounding districts. We start with the area you can service profitably, then use performance data to decide where it is worth widening.
We work across most commercial sectors. In Tauranga the recurring ones are Horticulture & Agribusiness, Port & Logistics and Construction & Trades. What matters more than the sector is whether a qualified enquiry is clearly defined and whether it can be tracked — without that, no amount of optimisation is meaningful.
Google Ads captures people already searching for what you sell. Meta Ads creates demand — reaching relevant audiences based on behaviour, interests and prior engagement before they start searching. Most businesses need both: one covers existing intent, the other builds it.
Management is quoted in NZD after a free audit, based on the number of campaigns, audiences and creative volume required. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Meta. There is no lock-in contract and your Business Manager assets stay in your name.
Yes, and they work better together. Paid campaigns produce fast demand and query data; SEO compounds. We use what converts in Tauranga paid campaigns to prioritise organic pages, and organic performance to decide where paid budget is no longer needed.
