Where the money goes
Most wasted spend is structural, not creative.
When we open an underperforming account here, the same four things are usually true, and none of them is about the wording of the ads.
Broad match with no negatives
The single most expensive default in the platform. Left alone it will happily buy clicks for jobs, free downloads, competitor names and homework questions. A negative keyword list built in the first week is normally the largest saving available in any account we inspect.
Conversions that are not conversions
If a page view or a click on a phone number is counted as a conversion, the platform will faithfully optimise towards people who do that and never buy. What should be counted is a submitted enquiry, a started WhatsApp conversation or a paid order β and in this market the middle one is frequently the most important and the least often tracked.
Spend routed through the agency
When your media budget is on someone else's invoice you cannot see the true cost per click, the account history is not yours, and leaving means starting over. Your card, your account, our access as a user. This is not a preference; it is what makes the rest of the numbers checkable.
A landing page that cannot convert
Half the accounts we tear down are not an advertising problem. The ads work and the page loses the sale β slow on mobile, no clear next step, a form nobody wants to fill in when they would rather send a message. Buying more clicks for that page is the most common way money disappears here.
What management covers
Six things, weekly rather than monthly.
Account structure and negatives
Campaigns built around what you sell, with a negative list that grows every week from the actual search-terms report.
Conversion tracking that is real
Enquiries, WhatsApp conversations and paid orders β not page views. Wired before spend increases, not after.
Search and Shopping
For stores, the feed matters more than the ads. Titles, availability and price accuracy decide what gets shown at all.
Landing pages that match the ad
The page the click lands on, built by the same team. When the constraint is the page, we fix the page rather than raise the bid.
Lead response speed
A ten-minute reply converts several times better than an hour. Automating that is cheaper than buying more clicks.
Search alongside paid
Paid buys you the query today; organic stops you renting it forever. The two share a target list here.
What we can evidence, and how to judge us without a case study
Stated plainly, because it is the sort of thing agencies bury: our Pakistani growth clients' campaign write-ups are still in draft and unpublished, so this page carries no client performance numbers. Every published case study on this site is Build work. A screenshot of an account we cannot let you verify would not be evidence anyway β it would be an image.
So judge the structure instead, which you can verify on day one and which is where most of the outcome is actually decided.
Whose account is it? Yours, created under your business, billed to your card. We are a user on it. When you leave you keep the account, the history and the learning that history represents β which is a real asset and one that quietly stays behind when an agency runs your campaigns from their own account.
What is being counted? Before any budget increase, conversion tracking is checked end to end. In this market that usually means counting a started WhatsApp conversation, because that is where enquiries actually go, and an account optimising towards form fills in a country that messages is optimising for the wrong people.
What is the fee, separately? Ours is a management fee and nothing else. No percentage of spend dressed up as a service, no media buying margin, no reselling of your own budget back to you. That removes the incentive to recommend spending more, which is the conflict at the centre of most paid-media relationships.
What a first month looks like
Week one is almost entirely defensive: tracking verified, search-terms report read, negatives added, obviously wasteful campaigns paused. It frequently reduces spend. Weeks two to four rebuild structure around what is actually converting and start testing ad copy against it. Anyone proposing to increase budget in week one has not looked at the search terms yet.
How it runs
Teardown, tracking, then spend.
Free account teardown
Written, inside 48 hours: wasted spend by campaign, what tracking is actually recording, and what we would change first.
Access, not ownership
Your account and your billing, with us added as a user. If you already have an account elsewhere, we help you get it back.
Fix tracking before touching budget
No budget change until conversions mean something. Optimising towards a bad signal is worse than not optimising at all.
Weekly changes, monthly reporting
Search terms reviewed weekly. Reporting shows cost per enquiry and cost per sale, from the platform, including bad months.
Money
A management fee, and nothing on your spend.
Teardown only
The written audit of the existing account, with no retainer attached. Yours to act on yourself or take to someone else, and written to be usable that way.
- βFree, inside 48 hours
- βWasted spend identified
- βNo obligation
Monthly management
Structure, negatives, testing and reporting, on your account and your billing. Scoped after the teardown so month one is work rather than discovery.
- βMedia paid to Google directly
- βWeekly search-term review
- βCancel with notice
Ads plus the page
Where the constraint is the landing page rather than the campaign. The build is quoted separately so the recommendation is not self-serving.
- βPage built by the same team
- βSpeed and form flow fixed
- βQuoted apart from the retainer
No figures on this site, and specifically no percentage-of-spend model. A fee that rises with your budget is a fee that rewards us for recommending more spend, which is the conflict this arrangement exists to remove. Management is quoted from the account after the teardown.
