Your ad account isleaking money.

Because the diagnostic grunt work is automated to the point where $497 is profitable — the judgment isn’t. Software tears the account apart; I read the output and record your walkthrough myself. The $2,000 firms are billing you their manual hours. You get the same depth — pixel health, GA4 events, CAPI deduplication, consent mode — in 24–48 hours, with every finding tied to the revenue it distorts. And it’s credited in full if we work together within 60 days.

No — the audit is priced per brand, and one fee covers all of that brand’s ad channels (Meta, Google, TikTok) plus its tracking. The $497 tier covers a brand under roughly $15k/mo in total spend; the $1,000 Senior tier is for higher spend, three or more channels, or Performance-Max-heavy accounts — genuinely two to three times the analysis. Separate brands are a separate audit each (with a discount if you bring several). Both credited 100% toward a retainer.

You pay, then a 2-minute checklist walks you through granting read-only access to your ad accounts / GA4 / GTM (or Search Console for SEO). The 48-hour clock starts the moment access is confirmed — not at payment, since I can’t audit what I can’t see. Within 48h I send a 10–15 minute walkthrough video plus a prioritized fix list, every finding tied to the revenue it distorts. No call needed to get it. If you then want me to fix or manage it, you book a call and the $497 credits 100% toward a retainer within 60 days. No card on file, nothing auto-renews.

No — and be careful with anyone who says yes. Ad performance depends on your offer, your market, and your economics. What I guarantee is operational: audit delivered within 48h of access, response systems live in 48h, no-show meetings replaced free, and every claim I make cited to your account’s real numbers.

Lock-ins protect agencies from their own results. Month-to-month at full rate means I have to re-earn the retainer every 30 days — that pressure is good for you. If you want a discount, prepay a quarter or a year (5–15%); the work is identical.

As a second opinion — that’s exactly what it’s built for. You don’t fire anyone to find out where the money leaks; you hand the findings to your current team and watch what they do with them. If your agency is good, the audit proves it for $497. If it isn’t, you found out for $497 instead of another quarter of retainers.

Accounts I personally ran in in-house and agency roles over 15 years — redacted where clients asked. They’re shown as my work history, not as clients of this firm. On a call I’ll walk through any of them at the campaign level, including what went wrong before it went right.

Structure, not corners. This is a lean, fully-remote operation — no office lease, no account-manager layers, and the diagnostic grunt work is automated. You work directly with Carlos, on US business hours, and the margin those savings free up goes into your creative volume instead of overhead. The SLA timestamps on every deliverable are how you keep me honest.

Exactly what it says: if an audit can’t document at least three fixable revenue leaks — each with a screenshot and priced in the dollars of revenue it distorts, so a nitpick never counts toward the three — you get the $497 back, no forms, no argument. It’s a safe promise for me to make: roughly half of mobile sites fail Google’s own speed test alone, and most ad accounts fund broken tracking. The guarantee isn’t bravado, it’s statistics.

The Launch tier, yes — because the pipeline is systematized: competitor teardown, copy you approve before build, licensed imagery, one revision round. Growth and Flagship run 2–3 weeks. The gate never moves: if it doesn’t score 90+ on Google’s own speed test, it doesn’t ship.

No — and nobody honest does. Growth phase is 4–12 months; you see the work log and the movement monthly: rank deltas, maps-grid positions, AI-overview citations. Month-to-month billing keeps the pressure where it belongs — on the results, not the contract.
