The problem

Paid campaigns fail when media, landing pages and sales economics are treated as separate problems.

  1. Click

  2. Landing page

  3. Lead

  4. Sales conversation

  5. Customer

Every step has a conversion rate.Every step changes what a lead can cost.

A campaign judged only on clicks can look successful while the business underneath it loses money on every customer. The economics have to be understood end to end, before the budget moves.

Traffic Lead Customer Revenue

Example planning model. Actual performance depends on market demand, competition, conversion rate, margins, sales process and campaign execution. Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere.

The system

  1. Demand

    Understand the available market and customer intent.

  2. Campaign

    Match message and targeting to that intent.

  3. Landing page

    Give the customer one clear reason to act.

  4. Conversion

    Measure calls, forms, bookings and qualified leads.

  5. Follow-up

    Make sure the lead actually receives a response.

  6. Sale

    Connect marketing activity with real customers.

  7. Attribution

    Know what produced the business.

01 / High-intent demand

Capture demand already in the market.

Google Ads

Search works best when customers already know what they need. The job is to capture that intent efficiently and send it to an experience capable of converting it.

  • Search campaigns
  • Remarketing
  • Performance Max where appropriate
  • Negative-keyword strategy
  • Conversion tracking
  • Landing-page alignment
  • Budget control

02 / Demand creation

Reach customers before they search.

Paid Social

Meta, Instagram and TikTok create demand; search captures it. We take on paid social when the audience and the offer suit it, with the same tracking and the same cost-per-customer reporting as search. Search is where our published results are today.

03 / Re-engagement

Stay visible after the first visit.

Remarketing

Most visitors do not act on the first visit. Compliant, consent-based audiences keep the business present through the decision without following anyone around the internet.

  • Site audiences
  • Abandoned enquiry
  • Content engagement
  • Product and service interest
  • Coordinated follow-up

04 / Conversational research

Reach customers while they are still deciding.

ChatGPT Ads

ChatGPT Ads management in Vancouver and Canada

People increasingly describe a problem to an assistant before they choose a supplier. Sponsored placements can appear beside those conversations. The channel is early, so we treat it as a measured pilot rather than a budget shift.

  • Eligibility and policy assessment
  • Conversational intent strategy
  • Advertiser context hints
  • Landing-path continuity
  • Conversion measurement
  • Controlled pilot before scale

After the click

Paying for traffic before fixing the landing experience is often just paying to expose the problem faster.

  • Message match
  • Page speed
  • Mobile clarity
  • Offer structure
  • Call and form design
  • Trust
  • Conversion tracking

This is why we also build the destinations. When the landing experience is part of the same engagement, message, page and measurement are designed together.

Scope

What is actually in a paid engagement, in the order it usually gets built: the measurement first, then the destination, then the spend.

01

Search campaigns

Google Ads against searches where somebody has already decided they need the thing you sell. Campaigns are built around what the business actually wants to sell rather than around whatever has volume, which is how the account stops paying for enquiries it cannot use.

02

Performance Max

Google's automated inventory-and-audience campaign type, used where it suits the account and not by default. It works when there is a clean product or service feed and enough conversion data to learn from; run too early it spends the budget teaching itself. We say which of those two situations you are in before it goes on.

03

Remarketing

Most people do not act on the first visit, so consent-based site audiences keep the business present while they decide. Frequency is capped and audiences are built from real intent signals rather than everyone who ever loaded a page.

04

Conversion and call tracking

Before any spend: forms firing a single conversion event at the moment the enquiry is accepted, not on a thank-you page view that anyone who refreshes or bounces never reaches. Call buttons are tagged by where they sit, so a click on the sticky mobile bar is told apart from one in the footer. That is the arrangement behind the Five Eight Twelve account.

05

Search-term reviews and negative keywords

The report of what people actually typed, read regularly, with the irrelevant searches added as negatives so the budget stops reaching them. This is the least glamorous work in an account and usually the single biggest source of waste. It is where the InstantCash4Cars restructure started.

06

Landing pages

An ad can only send someone somewhere; it cannot rescue the page it lands on. Where a product or service deserves its own destination, that page is built before the campaign runs, so the visitor arrives at the thing they searched for instead of a homepage. More on why: paid traffic and a weak landing page.

07

Budgets and bids set from cost per customer

The budget starts from what a customer is worth to you and how many of the enquiries you close, not from a percentage of revenue or whatever was spent last year. That gives a target cost per lead that bids are then managed against. You can do the same arithmetic yourself in the lead calculator, and the method is in calculating a target CPA and CPL.

08

Reporting

Reporting runs in the accounts you own and reads spend against enquiries and, where the business can tell us, customers. Not impressions, not click counts on their own. If a number in a report cannot be traced back to something that happened in the business, it does not belong in one.

The message

The campaign can only amplify what already exists. If the offer, positioning or landing experience is weak, scaling spend usually scales the weakness.

What we work on before scaling

  • Offer clarity
  • Audience problem
  • Creative and message
  • Differentiation
  • Evidence
  • Call to action

The math

Allowable acquisition cost

Customer valuethe share of it you can spend= what a customer may cost.

From there, a lead’s worth is that number multiplied by the close rate, and a click’s worth follows from the landing page. Every budget conversation starts from these three lines.

Customer value
What a new customer is actually worth to the business.
Close rate
How many leads it takes to produce one of them.
Target CPA
The most a customer can cost before the math breaks.
Target CPL
What that makes a single lead worth paying for.
Search demand
Whether enough people are looking to sustain the plan.
Campaign mix
Which channels carry which part of the job.

Price

Google Ads management, added to MOST Grow

Quoted after the audit

Monthly, no contract

Campaign management added to MOST Grow when the monthly report shows paid search is worth it. The fee depends on the account and is set after the audit. Ad spend goes from your card straight to Google.

Paid campaign launch

$3,500 to $10,000

Fixed project

One channel at the low end, two or three at the high: account audit, campaigns built from the economics, conversion tracking and landing hooks, a 60-day post-launch optimization window and weekly transparent reporting. Several channels add unified attribution, audience modelling and creative direction.

Ongoing optimization, larger accounts

$1,500 to $3,500 a month

Month-to-month

For accounts too big for the Grow add-on: weekly campaign work, monthly performance review with the founder, new creative and landing tests. Cancel any month with 14 days notice.

All prices CAD, plus tax, agreed in writing before work starts. No percentage of ad spend: you own the ad accounts and pay the ad platforms directly, so the media budget never passes through us.

Where this works, and where it does not.

A good fit

  • Established business with a measurable customer value.
  • Existing demand, or a clear market opportunity worth testing.
  • Willing to improve landing pages and tracking, not just buy media.
  • Wants to own the ad accounts and the data.
  • Values transparent economics over vanity metrics.
  • Has a working sales and follow-up process, or will build one.

Probably not us

  • Expects guaranteed ROAS or guaranteed lead volume.
  • Wants to start spending before tracking exists.
  • Wants cheap traffic rather than customers.
  • Cannot define what a customer is worth.
  • Expects media to fix an uncompetitive offer.
  • Wants the agency to own the accounts and the data.

Paid growth

  • Fast market entry
  • Controlled targeting
  • Immediate demand capture
  • Stops when spend stops

SEO & search visibility

  • Compounding visibility
  • Organic, local and AI presence
  • Longer build time
  • Creates durable search equity

Many businesses eventually use both, but each should have a clear job. Explore SEO & Search Visibility.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

Work backwards, not forwards. Customer value and close rate set what a lead can cost; the market sets how many leads are available; multiplying the two gives a budget the business can defend. Platforms also need enough conversion volume to learn, so there is a practical floor below which a campaign cannot be evaluated fairly. The model on this page is the starting conversation.

How do you determine target CPA?

From your numbers, not an industry benchmark. Target CPA is the share of customer value the business can afford to spend acquiring one customer, and target CPL follows from the close rate. If those inputs are unknown, defining them is the first piece of work, because no campaign can be judged without them.

Google Ads or SEO?

Different jobs. Paid captures demand today and stops when the spend stops; organic search compounds slowly and keeps working. Many businesses eventually run both, but each needs its own clear role and its own measurement. SEO and search visibility is a separate MOST service with its own page.

Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?

No. Percentage-of-spend aligns the agency's incentives against yours: it rewards spending more, not converting more. We charge a flat fee for a defined scope, and you keep 100% of the ad budget, paid by you directly to the platforms.

Do I own my ad accounts?

Yes, always. Ad accounts, analytics, conversion data and audiences are created under your ownership, and you pay the platforms directly. If we stopped working together tomorrow, everything keeps running in your hands.

Do you manage Meta, Instagram or TikTok ads?

We take them on where they fit the business, on the same footing as search: conversion tracking first, one reporting view, and you own the accounts. Our published results so far are from search campaigns. If paid social is the right channel for you, the audit will say so. If it is not, it will say that too.

Do you build landing pages?

Yes, and it is often the highest-leverage part of the engagement. MOST builds websites and custom platforms, so the landing experience, message match, forms, calls and tracking can be designed together with the campaign rather than bolted on after it.

How do you track leads and sales?

Analytics and conversion events configured before launch, call and form tracking, and handoff into the CRM where the business uses one, with offline conversion import where the platform supports it. The aim is one report connecting spend to enquiries, opportunities and customers. Attribution is an evidence system, not certainty, and we say where the picture is incomplete.

How long before campaigns generate useful data?

Early signal arrives within weeks; decisions worth acting on need enough conversions to be meaningful, which can take one to three months depending on budget and volume. We set that expectation from the model at the start rather than promising a date.

Can you guarantee ROAS?

No, and no honest agency can. Performance depends on market, offer, competition, budget, landing page, sales process, tracking, seasonality, creative and execution. What we commit to is the method: modelled economics before spend, transparent reporting against them, and stopping things that do not work.

What happens after the initial build?

The campaigns are yours either way. Most clients continue into optional month-to-month optimization: weekly campaign work, a monthly review with the founder, and new creative and landing tests, cancellable any month with 14 days notice.

If your question is not here, ask it directly.
