How the money works

Your ad spend never touches our account.

You pay the ad platform directly, on your own card, in your own account. Our fee covers setup, creative and ongoing management — nothing else.

This matters for two reasons. You can see exactly what was spent without taking our word for it, and if we ever part ways, the ad account and its history stay with you. Agencies that run ads through their own account are holding your data hostage, whether they mean to or not.

What you get
  • Campaign setup and audience targeting built for your actual service area
  • Ad creative and copy produced for you
  • Ongoing optimization and A/B testing — campaigns get managed, not set and forgotten
  • Clear monthly reporting on what was spent and what came back
  • Your ad budget goes straight to the platform and stays in your name

Managed, not parked

The optimization is the product.

Anyone can launch a campaign. The money is made or wasted in what happens over the following weeks — killing the ad sets that are not converting, shifting budget to the ones that are, and testing new creative against the winner.

Starter gets monthly reporting, Growth gets optimization every two weeks, and Full Funnel gets weekly optimization plus dedicated landing pages.

Being honest about it

No promised cost per lead.

We will not quote you a guaranteed cost per lead or a return on ad spend before we have run anything. Those numbers depend on your market, your competition, your pricing and your close rate — and a number invented to win the deal is a number that gets used against us in month three.

What we will do is report the real figures honestly, including the months where the answer is that it did not work and here is what we are changing.

How it works

What actually happens.

1. Discovery call

What you sell, what a customer is worth to you, and what you can afford to spend. If ads are the wrong move for you right now, we will say so.

2. Account setup

Campaigns are built inside your own ad account, on your own billing. We get access; we do not take ownership.

3. Creative & targeting

Ad copy, images and audience targeting built for your service area and your customer.

4. Launch small

We start at a budget you are comfortable losing, to find out what works before scaling it.

5. Optimize

Weekly or bi-weekly depending on your plan: cut what is not working, feed what is, test new creative.

6. Monthly report

Spend, results and what we are changing next month. Written so you can read it in five minutes.

Questions

Straight answers.

How much does advertising management cost?

Starter is $500/mo for one platform, Growth is $900/mo for two platforms with retargeting and bi-weekly optimization, and Full Funnel is $1,500/mo with dedicated landing pages and weekly optimization. These are management fees only.

Is my ad budget included in that fee?

No. Ad spend is separate and is paid directly by you to the ad platform, on your own card, in your own account. The management fee covers our setup, creative and optimization work.

How much should I spend on ads?

It depends on what a customer is worth to you and what your market costs. We work that out on the discovery call and start at a budget you are comfortable losing while we find out what works.

Can you guarantee a cost per lead or a return on ad spend?

No. Those figures depend on your market, competition, pricing and close rate. Any agency quoting you a guaranteed number before running anything is guessing. We report the real numbers honestly instead.

Who owns the ad account?

You do. Campaigns are built in your account and the history stays with you if we ever stop working together.

Which platforms do you run ads on?

Paid social and paid search, chosen on the discovery call based on where your customers actually are. For most local businesses that is Meta and Google.

Let's talk about what you actually need.

A short call, an honest recommendation, and a written quote before anything is billed.
