Paid media and SEO

Paid that pays, organic that compounds.

The problem

Spend goes up. Nobody can say what it returns.

Paid and organic run as separate programs reported in clicks, so no one can see what each dollar brings back.

The solution

Paid search, paid social, and SEO run as one system, measured against revenue, and reported in plain language every week.

Commitment
3-month minimum and at least $20,000 a month in ad spend
Price
$6,000 a month or 10% of spend, whichever is higher
Deliverable
Managed channels, weekly reports, and creative testing
Is it the right fit?

Where it fits

Grow, because it runs the channels that bring customers in, and it answers to revenue, not clicks.

This is right when

  • You spend at least $20,000 a month on media.
  • Paid and organic report separately, in clicks, and nobody can say what each dollar returns.
  • You want weekly reporting in revenue terms, from someone who will tell you when to turn a channel off.

Not the right engagement when

  • You spend less than $20,000 a month on media, or you do not know which channels deserve it.Start with Digital strategy.
  • The store or the site is where people drop off.Fix that first with Replatforming and CRM or Websites.
  • Each market or segment runs acquisition its own way, and the model is the problem, not the channels.Look at GTM systems design.
  • You need material worth publishing, not channels managed.Look at Content systems.
How it works

What we run

01Paid search and shopping

Structure, bidding, feeds, and the negative lists nobody maintains.

02Paid social

Meta and the channels that fit your buyer, with a creative testing cadence.

03Landing pages

Every dollar of media lands somewhere. We test where.

04SEO program

Technical fixes, content built to rank and convert, and the authority work that takes a year.

05Reporting

Weekly, in revenue terms, with what we changed and why.

How we think about it

Paid and organic are one budget. Paid buys the data that tells us what to build organically; organic lowers the price of paid over time. We manage to blended return, and we will tell you when a channel should be turned off.
