My cost barrier to entry comes to around $900/month. Large digital ad agencies require you to spend into the thousands each month. Organic options (SEO or free social media) are similar in price for a professional but take over a year to show results. |

Receive monthly ad reports Schedule calls with me to discuss strategy, results, etc. I set up and manage your campaigns so I can answer technical or strategic questions. |
SEO teams often have problems reporting on their lead gen contributions, not just traffic growth. If shopping for SEO help make sure they provide nuanced data. |
You'll be assigned an account manager who can help guide your strategy. They likely did not set up your ad campaigns or analytics tracking. Some back and forth may be required for them to answer your questions. |
There is very limited data to connect social media engagement to new customers. |
Agencies should offer click tracking which shows the actions your audience takes after clicking on your ads. |
| Why me? |
I send out monthly ad reports that show lead gen growth through your ad campaigns. As a one person team I can speak to the entire ad campaigns setup and strategy. |
