Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about independent paid media diagnosis
Terminate or retain an agency. Reallocate budget across channels. Pause spend pending funnel repair. Bring media in-house. Accept that spend is working and move on confidently. The goal is defensible business decisions, not optimization theater.
An independent evaluation of Google Ads, Meta Ads, and attribution systems. I determine waste, inefficiency, and business impact by examining whether advertising produced real business outcomes, not just dashboard activity.
Founders of multi-location service businesses. COOs and VPs of Marketing at PE-backed companies. CFOs before board review or budget reallocation. People who answer to investors when pipeline doesn't match reported performance. Operators who need numbers that survive scrutiny.
To hold agencies accountable. To justify budget reallocation. To defend marketing decisions in board review. To decide whether to fire an agency, bring media in-house, or continue with independent execution.
Flat-fee pricing. I have no incentive to recommend increased spend. Money-back guarantee: if I don't find at least the diagnosis fee in inefficiency, full refund. When an audit comes bundled with a management pitch, the analysis and sales process blur together. This stays separate.
Only when execution is required after diagnosis. The primary role is independent verification. Execution support is available only after diagnosis and only when structural corrections are required. This is not an agency relationship.

Percentage-based pricing means revenue grows with spend. Not efficiency. Flat fees align incentives with outcomes. I get paid the same whether you spend $10,000 or $1,000,000 monthly.
