The free audit

The no-bullshit growth agency

Find out where your ad spend is leaking. Free. In 10-12 hours of senior time.

We audit your Meta and Google accounts the way we audit our own clients', then give you one of three honest answers: yes we can hit your goal, yes with specific changes, or no. Contracts only after.

The audit

What 10-12 hours covers

Account structure and settings

Campaign, ad set and bid settings, plus audiences: dedicated prospecting and retargeting, exclusions, and the engaged and existing pools most accounts never define.

Where every dollar lands

Our placement script breaks out cost and conversions by placement. One client had 65% of a campaign going to YouTube.

Creative: fatigued and missing

Naming conventions, product vs lifestyle, polished vs UGC, length and tone: which ads are tired, which angles and personas are missing, and what the 70/20/10 refresh looks like.

Keyword mining and feed titles

Converting search terms written back into product titles. All 150 characters.

Pixel, CAPI and attribution leaks

Match quality, missing events, and how much credit your best ad is taking for customers you already had.

Total-business planning

A CPA goal from your margin and LTV, deduplicated across channels, so every platform targets one number.

How it works

Three steps, no contract until after

1

A 30-minute discovery call

Your goal, your margin, what the account is doing today, and view-only access so we audit the real thing. No pitch.

2

The audit: 10-12 hours of senior time

Structure, audiences, placements, pixels, keyword mining, feed titles, creative and copy, landing pages. Written up, 12-20 pages.

3

A 60-90 minute review

We walk every finding with you, in depth, and end with one of three honest answers. The audit is yours either way.

Total-business planner

One CPA goal from margin and LTV, deduplicated across channels

A written audit of 12-20 pages, a recorded walkthrough you can forward, and the three findings to act on first.

Three honest answers

Every audit ends in one of three answers

Yes

We can hit your goal with the account as it is, and we show you the plan and the number we commit to by day 90.

Yes, with changes

We can hit it after specific things change first. You get the one-page plan; two of the three you can usually do without us.

No

We are not the right partner, and we say so. You keep the audit and the two findings worth acting on this month.

"More in-depth than anything I have seen an agency come back with."

FAQ

Questions we get

Is it really free?

Yes. It is 10-12 hours of a senior strategist, and it costs nothing until you decide to work with us. We cap how many we run a month.

What do you need from me?

View-only access to Meta and Google, your margin, and three answers about your goal. The first conversation is a 30-minute discovery call; the audit review itself runs 60-90 minutes because we go through every finding.

How long until I get it?

The 60-90 minute review call is usually within 7 business days of access.

Will you pitch me?

You get one of three answers. If the answer is yes, you also get a plan and a fee. If it is no, you still keep the audit.

Who runs the account if we sign?

The same Growth Director who ran the audit, with a weekly call and a Slack channel.

What if we spend under $25K a month?

The foundation playbook is free, and Checkout Required, our operator community, is where we would start.
