Most Indian SMEs do not have an ads problem. They have a wasted-ads problem: a campaign that gets clicks but no calls, a form that collects leads nobody follows up, and a monthly report that shows impressions instead of revenue. AICLEX Technologies runs paid media for businesses that want the money they spend on Google, YouTube, Meta and LinkedIn to come back as enquiries and orders they can count. We manage the campaigns, build the landing pages, and connect every lead to WhatsApp follow-up through our WhatsPilot platform.
Doing business in Ludhiana
Ludhiana is Punjab's largest city and industrial powerhouse. It is India's hosiery and knitwear capital, supplying woollens, T-shirts and sportswear to domestic markets and exporters, and a major producer of bicycles and bicycle parts through Hero Cycles, Avon and a network of thousands of small units. The city also manufactures sewing machines, auto parts, machine tools, hand tools and fasteners in Focal Point, Industrial Area A and B, Dhandari Kalan and Gill Road. Agriculture-linked trade in grains, tractors and farm implements remains important, and Ludhiana has a busy real estate market along Ferozepur Road, Pakhowal Road and Southern Bypass, plus a strong hospital sector with DMC and CMC. Punjabi and Hindi are the languages of business, with English for exports. Ludhiana manufacturers are ambitious, export focused and heavy WhatsApp users, and many family firms are professionalising sales with CRMs and automation.
What Ludhiana businesses use paid media advertisement for
- Hosiery and knitwear manufacturers sending seasonal catalogues, rates and order confirmations to distributors across India on WhatsApp
- Bicycle and auto parts units automating dealer enquiries, quotations and dispatch tracking through WhatsPilot
- Hospitals like those on Ferozepur Road confirming appointments and follow-ups in Punjabi and Hindi
- Pakhowal Road and Southern Bypass developers managing plot and villa leads in Siteboard
Paid Media Advertisement for Ludhiana's key industries
Manufacturing & MSME industrial units
MSMEs and industrial units use paid media for B2B reach across Google Search, LinkedIn, YouTube and trade portals. Deliverables include Search campaigns on product and application terms, LinkedIn sponsored content targeting procurement and plant roles, YouTube demo ads, and IndiaMART or TradeIndia premium placements. A material handling equipment maker, for example, can run LinkedIn ads to warehouse managers and Search ads for specific capacities. A common mistake is using consumer targeting that reaches job seekers instead of buyers. Measure RFQs, quotation value and cost per qualified enquiry.
Textile, garments & apparel
Textile and garment businesses use paid media across Meta, Google, Pinterest and YouTube for both trade and consumer audiences. Deliverables include Meta catalogue ads for consumer lines, Search campaigns for wholesale terms, Pinterest ads for design discovery, YouTube ads showing fabric quality and retargeting for catalogue viewers. A sportswear manufacturer, for example, can run Meta ads to gym owners for bulk uniforms and separate consumer campaigns for its online store. A common mistake is running consumer creatives to trade audiences. Measure wholesale enquiries, consumer ROAS and order value by segment.
Automobile dealers, auto parts & EV
Dealers, parts suppliers and EV companies use paid media across Google, Meta, YouTube, OTT and auto portals. The programme includes Search on model and price terms, Meta lead campaigns for test drives, YouTube walkaround ads, OTT placements during launches and CarDekho or BikeDekho sponsored listings. An EV manufacturer, for instance, can run YouTube ads on range and charging followed by Meta lead forms for dealer test rides. A common mistake is national creatives without local pricing or dealer contact. Measure test drives, cost per delivery and dealer-wise lead quality.
How we report: CPL, ROAS and what we do not track
You get a monthly report and a live dashboard that show spend, leads, cost per lead, qualified leads as marked by your team, and for e-commerce, revenue and return on ad spend. For lead businesses we ask you to mark lead quality in the CRM every week, because a cheap lead that never picks up the phone is not cheap. That feedback goes back into the campaigns so the platforms optimise towards leads your team actually closes.
We do not headline impressions, reach or engagement rate for a lead-generation client, because none of those pay salaries. Where they appear, it is as diagnostic detail, not as the result. We also send a short written note each month on what we changed and why, so you can read the decisions, not just the numbers, and question any of them.
Which platform for which kind of business
The platform decision is the first thing that decides whether your budget works. Google Search captures people already looking for what you sell, so it is the starting point for clinics, local services, B2B suppliers and anyone with a searchable product. Performance Max extends that across YouTube, Display and Gmail once search alone is exhausted. Meta, meaning Instagram and Facebook, creates demand among people who were not searching, which suits coaches, D2C brands, real estate and education where a good video can stop a scroll.
LinkedIn is expensive per click but the only platform where you can target by job title, company size and industry, so it earns its cost for B2B services, SaaS and enterprise training. YouTube sits in between: cheap reach for awareness and remarketing, with strong results for course creators who can teach on camera. Most of our clients run two platforms, one to capture intent and one to create it, rather than spreading a small budget across five.
- Google Search and PMax: clinics, local services, B2B suppliers, education with search demand
- Meta Instagram and Facebook: coaches, D2C, real estate, admissions, events
- YouTube: course creators, product demos, remarketing to site visitors
- LinkedIn: B2B services, SaaS, corporate training, high-ticket consulting

The minimum engagement is three months, which is the time needed to complete the setup, learning and optimisation cycle. After that, the engagement continues month to month with 30 days notice from either side. There is no lock-in beyond the initial period and no penalty for leaving.
What is the minimum budget to start paid ads?+
We recommend at least ₹30,000 per month in ad spend for a single platform, and ₹50,000 or more if you want to run Google and Meta together. Below that, the platforms do not collect enough conversions to optimise and results swing wildly week to week. The management fee is separate and quoted based on scope.
