A good marketing budget starts with sequence, not a fixed percentage. First fund the assets that make the business credible, discoverable and easy to contact. Then spend on traffic channels where real enquiries and sales can be measured.
Cover five areas
Think in brand foundation, website and conversion, content, organic visibility and paid distribution.
Build before scaling ads
If the offer, website or contact path is weak, buying more clicks amplifies the weakness.
Choose one primary traffic channel
Search may fit active demand, Meta may fit visual discovery and LinkedIn may fit focused B2B.
Separate one off investments and recurring costs
Brand identity and a core website can be longer term assets. Ads, tools, production and optimisation are recurring.
Plan reusable content
Create photos and video that can work across website, social, ads and sales material.
Measure business outcomes
Define qualified enquiries, bookings, quotes or sales before launch.
