How Long Does It Take to See Results from Digital Advertising?
If you’re a business considering launching a digital advertising campaign, one of the first questions you might ask is: “How long will it take to see results?”
The answer depends on several factors — from how quickly your campaigns are set up, to the responsiveness of your team, to the nature of your business goals.
At Emillion Media Group, we’ve helped businesses across the Gold Coast and Australia run Google Ads, Meta Ads, and targeted online campaigns that deliver measurable results. Here’s a breakdown of the typical timeline so you can set realistic expectations.
1. Setting Up the Advertising Platform
Timeline: 1–5 business days (depending on client cooperation)
The first step is to get your advertising platforms ready — whether you’re running Google Ads, Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Ads, or another channel. This includes:
Creating or configuring accounts
Setting up permissions and user access
Adding payment details and tracking codes
The quicker you provide necessary information (logins, verification codes, approvals), the faster we can move to campaign creation.
2. Creating Effective and Fully Optimised Campaigns
Timeline: 1–3 business days (plus platform approval)
Once your accounts are ready, we design your campaigns based on your business goals — whether that’s driving traffic, generating leads, or increasing sales. This involves:
Target audience selection
Crafting ad copy and visuals
Setting budgets and bid strategies
Installing conversion tracking
After your approval, Meta and Google typically review ads within 24–48 hours to ensure compliance. Occasionally, ads may be flagged for additional checks, which can slightly delay launch.
3. Seeing Results from Your Campaigns
Timeline: 1 day to 1 month (excluding SEO)
Some campaigns deliver quick wins — such as immediate traffic or inquiries — within the first 24 hours. However, for most businesses, the real results come after a period of testing and optimisation.
Factors that affect how quickly you see results include:
Your industry and competition level
Budget size and bidding strategy
The quality of your creative and targeting
Your conversion goals (e.g., brand awareness vs. sales)
On average, you can expect meaningful results within 1–4 weeks once campaigns have gathered enough data for optimisation.
Why Timelines Can Vary
Client Responsiveness – Quick approvals and feedback accelerate setup.
Platform Approval Times – Meta and Google reviews typically take up to 48 hours, but delays happen.
Market Conditions – Highly competitive industries may require more budget or longer optimisation periods.
Ongoing Optimisation – The best results come from testing and refining campaigns over time.
