The problems

We already know the meal prep math.

Generic agencies optimise for a purchase. You need a subscriber who is still ordering in week eight, lives inside your delivery radius, and doesn’t arrive the week your kitchen is already full.

CAC that only pays back on week six

A first order rarely covers what it cost to acquire. If the customer churns before their fourth box, the ad account looks great and the P&L doesn’t.

Campaigns judged on subscribers and payback, not first-order ROAS.

Churn after the novelty wears off

Week three is where most subscribers skip, pause or quietly cancel — usually when the menu starts to feel repetitive.

Retention creative and win-back audiences built around every menu drop.

A kitchen with a ceiling

Scaling spend past what the kitchen can cook burns cash and reviews. Most ad accounts have no idea your Sunday prep is full.

Budgets paced to your weekly capacity and order cutoff.

Clicks from outside your delivery radius

Every click from a ZIP you can’t deliver to is wasted. Broad targeting quietly spends a real share of the budget there.

Radius- and ZIP-level targeting built from where your orders actually go.

A menu that changes every week

Weekly drops mean weekly creative. Static catalogues and month-old ads go stale while the kitchen ships something new.

A creative calendar synced to your menu and order cutoff.

Ads that look like stock photos

People buy meal prep with their eyes. Glossy renders underperform real containers, real macros and real customers unpacking on a Sunday.

UGC and founder-led hooks that show the actual food.

Paying for “recipes” searches

Broad Google campaigns happily buy clicks from people who want to cook it themselves — or who just want containers.

Tight search terms, negatives and delivery-area campaigns.

A site that loses the order

Unclear pricing, a hidden cutoff day or a clunky subscription checkout can undo the best ad you’ll ever run.

Landing pages and checkout flows designed and tested for conversion.

FAQ

Meal prep, answered.

Anything else — ask us on a strategy call. We’ll give you a straight answer, even if it’s “you don’t need us yet”.

Do you only work with subscription meal prep?

No. We work with subscription, weekly order-ahead, pickup-only and hybrid models. Campaigns and pages are built around how you sell — cutoff days, delivery zones and capacity included.

We deliver locally. Can you really target by delivery radius?

Yes. We map your orders by ZIP and distance and use that to set Meta and Google geo targeting — so spend concentrates where you can actually deliver and where customers reorder.

How much ad spend do we need?

Most meal prep brands we talk to spend between $3k and $30k a month on ads. Below that, we usually recommend starting with your website and one channel before scaling paid.

Who makes the UGC?

We write the hooks, scripts and shot lists from your menu and performance data. Your team or creators we source shoot them; we edit, test and iterate. You approve every concept before it goes live.

Do you build meal prep websites?

Yes — landing pages and ongoing conversion work are part of the retainer, and full storefront builds with subscription, menu and delivery-zone logic are scoped as a project. You can start there.

Do we keep our accounts if we leave?

Always. Your ad accounts, pixels, data, creative and site stay in your name from day one. We work month to month.

Fill next week’s kitchen, every week.
