Paid that compounds, not paid that taxes.

When AI pre-sells your category, ads stop fighting cold attention. We run search, social and brand-search capture engineered to harvest the trust GEO creates — higher CTR, lower CPC, faster conversions.

Who this is for

Currently spending $50K+/month on paid acquisition
CAC trending up; AI visibility share trending down
Brand search underperforming relative to category demand
What we actually do

Six deliverables. None of them slideware.

Every line below ships as something you can hold, send to a board, or hand to an engineer. No advisory-only retainers.

  1. 01Campaign blueprint

    Brand-search capture

    Search and social campaigns engineered around the queries AI sends to Google. Branded, comparison and category queries treated as three distinct economics, not one bucket.

  2. 02QS rebuild

    Quality Score engineering

    The relevance signals that drop CPC: keyword-to-ad-to-LP coherence, expected CTR, landing experience. We rebuild what existing accounts let drift, one ad group at a time.

  3. 03Audience stack

    AI-warmed audience layering

    Audiences built off citation themes and intent signals, layered into Performance Max, Demand Gen and Meta Advantage+. Warmer cohorts, lower frequency, cleaner spend.

  4. 04Test calendar

    Creative testing pipeline

    A continuous test cadence tied to the citation themes GEO surfaces. Creative that mirrors how AI describes your category outperforms creative invented in a vacuum.

  5. 05Cohort model

    LTV : CAC reconstruction

    Cohort analysis on first-touch, blended and incremental CAC. You see what ad money actually returns, not just last-click ROAS that flatters the budget.

  6. 06Weekly PDF

    Weekly spend optimization

    Spend, CPC, Quality Score, ROAS by channel — every Monday. Cost transparency baked in. No agency margin hidden in media markups.

FAQ

The questions CMOs actually ask.

Yes. We don't migrate or hostage anything. Accounts stay yours, billing stays yours, history stays yours. If we part ways, you keep everything intact — including the structural work we did.
We work above $50K/month because that's where Quality Score engineering, cohort modeling and the brand-search capture layer compound. Below that, the math on a specialist team doesn't beat a strong generalist freelancer.
No. Two paid teams in one account creates coordination overhead that eats the lift we're paid to produce. The flywheel only closes when one team owns the spend, the creative and the citation themes it's harvesting.
