Seasonality used to be our biggest…
Seasonality used to be our biggest challenge. During summer we were overloaded with jobs, but once autumn arrived the phones went quiet and we had to cut prices just to keep the team busy. It felt like the same cycle every year and we had no real control.
Stratus changed that completely. They guided us to focus on products that people need year-round such as energy-saving upgrades and flexible finance options. They also reworked our campaigns to highlight long-term value, which opened up demand in months that were usually slow for us. Last December actually outperformed our previous July, something we never imagined could happen.
The biggest difference now is stability. We have steady enquiries every month, the pipeline is predictable, and we have grown the team with confidence. Instead of reacting to slow periods we now operate with a clear plan and can finally scale without worrying about what’s around the corner. Stratus gave us more than just ads, they gave us a sustainable strategy.
Before Stratus we were guessing our way…
Before Stratus we were guessing our way through ads, wasting hours and still not sure what was actually working. They stepped in, organized everything, and built a system that finally gives clarity. Now we get straightforward weekly reports, leads are consistent every single day, and our budget is being used efficiently. We’ve gone from a handful of bookings each week to multiple every day. With that growth we’ve expanded the team and can finally forecast revenue with confidence. The difference has been game-changing.
We didn’t have the time or resources to…
We didn’t have the time or resources to focus on marketing, so handing it over to Stratus was the best decision. They took care of everything from keyword strategy and campaign management to ad optimization and even team call guidance. Within weeks we noticed a 52% boost in lead conversions and a 30% increase in average project value. The reporting was clear and they even shared regular call insights which helped us monitor quality firsthand. Overall, a smooth experience with outstanding results.
No More Ghost Leads
Before working with them, about half of our paid ad clicks were ghost leads no-shows, fake inquiries, tire-kickers. Stratus introduced lead verification and call tracking, which cut no-shows by 70%, saving us £1,200/month in wasted ad spend. Within three months, our cost per sale dropped from £900 to £550. ‘We thought this would be another agency promising the moon but they delivered results in just 90 days.
They Just Get It
What I like about Stratus is they just get it. You don’t have to explain how a home improvement business works. They knew how to target the right areas where we supply, what kind of ads to run, and how to filter out the timewasters. I’m not a numbers guy but we went from maybe 5–6 enquiries a week to 25+. We actually had to pause ads for two weeks ‘cause we couldn’t keep up. Good problem to have though, lol.

Long-term excellence
I've been working with Stratus Digital now for almost 3 years and have used them for several of my businesses.
We've ran ads, creative and strategy together and they deliver every time. Cannot recommend Ali and the team enough.
Thank you!
The best in the game.
Ali came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed. He’s extremely helpful and knowledgable. He listens and learns your business first which is why he’s great at what he does. He’s helped turn my business around massively. There was a noticeable difference in enquiries within a day of our first meeting. Enquiries & leads are up 10x since working with Ali.
Changed the game for us
Changed the game for us
Ali audited our systems and funnels which we've been running for a long time, and although profitable, were never sufficiently good to keep going long term. We always struggled with predictability and finding the exact clients we were looking for.
After Ali's rework on the entire system - from creatives, ad setup and targeting as well as an entire VSL, we launched again with results better than ever, having a substantial multiplier of cash collected to budget spent almost instantaneously.
Would strongly recommend his services
Truly quality agency. Professional and thorough.
Ali has an unmatched knowledge around meta and paid ads as a whole. His advice and guidance has help me move with confidence and push my businesses forwards. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Experts in paid ads and tracking
Ali, and Armin are highly experienced when it comes down to Google Ads and tracking. Very happy to have them as a partner

Ali is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to navigating Facebook's ad policies. My ad account was disabled, and I was feeling pretty lost, but Ali guided me step by step through the appeal process and gave me such clear, actionable advice. He knows the ins and outs of running ads, from appeals to scaling campaigns, and it's evident how much he cares about helping others succeed. If you need help with anything related to paid ads, Ali and Stratus Digital are the real deal. Couldn’t recommend them more!
The most detailed insights I've found…
The most detailed insights I've found have been here. From advisory, ad budgets, creative and copy. What a pleasure
Advertising Knowledge - unmatched!
Rarely do you meet someone who’s been so dedicated to study the craft from as young as Ali was…and it shows.
Ali’s understanding of the online advertising world is simply unmatched.
If you require any help with your paid media efforts, I wholeheartedly recommend chatting to Stratus Digital.
Excellent service
Excellent service! Ali and the team are so knowledgable and helped with everything I needed - couldn’t recommend enough.
The Greatest Agency I've Ever Experienced
I have no words... If you haven't hired Ali to run your ads - you're missing out on LOADS of money. That's not even the best part though. Ali plugs himself into your business like he's working for your company IN HOUSE. I can't recommend him enough to any service-based businesses, especially local ones like Construction or Window Installs. I doubt you will find somebody who communicates at his level, and understands your business as intimately as him. If you don't want to grow your business, then definitely don't hire him. Because that's exactly what him and the team at Stratus will do for you.
Top tier service
The personalisation, customer service and speed of working with Stratus Digital has been unmatched...
Nothing but good things to say about Ali and the team as they have certainly changed the game when it comes to our marketing and return on ad spend.
