Before & after

What this engagement actually changes.

Status quo

Your last agency burned $40K on Performance Max with no asset-group constraints. Your CPL doubled in six months and nobody can tell you why. Half the clicks come from bots; the other half don't close. The dashboard looks healthy. The pipeline doesn't.

After the sprint

Campaigns built around an ICP, not a keyword bid. Negative keywords and audience exclusions tuned weekly. Server-side conversion tracking stitched back to the CRM. A weekly budget read that names what we're killing and what we're scaling.

Deliverables

What you walk away with.

Named artifacts that ship, not verbs. If it’s on this list, the sprint isn’t done until it’s in your hands.

  • Campaign builds (Google Search, PMax, Meta, LinkedIn as needed)
  • Server-side conversion tracking (CAPI, Enhanced Conversions)
  • Landing pages with the variant that earned the click
  • Weekly budget read with kill/scale decisions named
  • Negative keyword + audience exclusion library, maintained
  • Attribution back to your CRM, not just the ad platform

5-phase fit

Where this plugs into the system.

Inputs

What we need from you.

Get these together and sprint zero starts the same week.

  • Ad account access (we never take ownership of your accounts)
  • CRM read access to tie clicks to closed revenue
  • Brand assets + 3 to 5 creative angles per ICP
  • Realistic ad budget (see pricing band below)
  • A point of contact for sales-qualified lead routing

Anti-patterns

What we won’t ship.

Hard rules. If your last agency promised one of these and the engagement broke, that’s why.

  • Performance Max without asset-group constraints
  • Campaigns without server-side conversion tracking
  • CPL guarantees on day one (that's how bad math gets sold)
  • Bid management that ignores day-parting against your sales motion
  • A campaign without a kill criterion named in advance

Fit check

Who this is for, and who it isn’t.

Right fit

  • Operators with a sales motion that closes — ads amplify, they don't fix a broken funnel
  • Service businesses with a defined geo and a real CPL benchmark in mind
  • B2B teams running LinkedIn or Meta with attribution back to the CRM

Wrong fit

  • Brand-new products with no demand yet (start with social or content)
  • Anyone with a sub-$1K monthly ad budget — management overhead eats the result
  • Teams who want guaranteed CPL out of the gate

Stack

The tools we run on this engagement.

No surprises. You see the stack before sprint zero so you can flag anything you already own a license for or want swapped.

  • Google Ads + Performance Max

    Constrained with asset groups + audience signals, never on autopilot

  • Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram)

    Lead-gen forms or LP, server-side via Conversions API

  • LinkedIn Campaign Manager

    B2B audience targeting with company-level reporting

  • Server-side GTM + CAPI

    Conversion tracking that survives iOS 14 + cookieless browsers

Questions operators ask before they book Pay Per Click Advertising.

  • How do you stop wasted spend on junk clicks?

    Negative keyword discipline, audience exclusions, day-parting against your sales motion, and a weekly budget read so we kill underperforming campaigns before the month ends — not after.

  • What’s the minimum ad spend you’ll manage?

    $2K/mo for local. Below that, the management overhead eats the result; we’ll tell you to bootstrap on SEO first instead of taking the engagement.

  • Do you guarantee a cost per lead?

    We guarantee the methodology — honest measurement, weekly optimization, and a named target by sprint two. CPL guarantees out of the gate are how agencies hide bad math.

  • What does the 10% management fee include?

    Keyword research, campaign setup, ad copywriting, bid management, audience targeting, conversion tracking, weekly reporting, and landing page design + testing + optimization. No surprise line items.

  • How long until I see meaningful ROI?

    You can drive traffic the day campaigns launch. Meaningful ROI typically takes 2 to 3 months of testing — the first weeks are optimization, not results. We'll tell you that out loud at kickoff.

  • Will you take ownership of my ad accounts?

    No. We work inside accounts you own. If we part ways, everything stays with you — campaigns, audience data, conversion history, the lot.
