Spend that scales, not bleeds.

Flag semaphore — P

Search and social campaigns built around margin, not impressions. Every dollar reports back to revenue — and the ones that don’t earn their keep get cut.

What each pillar
actually covers.

    Tracking

    Server-side events, enhanced conversions, offline conversion upload. Your data goes where it’s needed — nowhere it isn’t.

  2. —02

    Creative

    A weekly creative pipeline. Hook tests, body tests, format tests. Winners get scaled; losers get cut — fast, and without ego.

  3. —03

    Channels

    Google Search & PMax, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit. We pick channels based on where your customers actually buy, not what we like running.

  4. —04

    Bid & budget

    Portfolio bid strategies, budget shifts twice weekly, and kill switches on CAC drift. No set-and-forget autopilot.

§FPaid Ads FAQs

Specifically about
paid ads.

Do you take a cut of ad spend?

No. Flat retainer, always. A percentage-of-spend model rewards us for spending more of your money — that’s a conflict of interest we won’t carry. Our incentive is your performance.

What’s a realistic starting budget?

$8k/mo in media for B2C, $15k+ for B2B. Below that, the data comes in too slowly to optimize — we’d rather you put it toward SEO or AI workflows until you’re ready.

Who makes the creative?

We can, end to end — or we’ll direct and test yours. Either way, everything goes through the weekly testing pipeline; nothing ships to spend without a hypothesis behind it.

§GDisqualifier

Not the right fit if…

  1. —01 Your LTV doesn’t justify a 60-day payback window.
  2. —02 You want creative we’re not allowed to test.
  3. —03 Your sales process can’t handle a 3× jump in leads.
