Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not happy with the results?
If we dropped the ball, please let us know! Feedback helps us improve. We will do everything we can to make it right. If that means a refund on our service fee for the month, we will give that to you no questions asked.
How long until I see results?
We've had campaigns start booking trips in days. But realistically from the launch of the campaign it should take anywhere from 1-2 weeks.
Can I really cancel anytime?
Yes! All our services are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. We believe in earning your business every single month. If something isn't working, just let us know.
What's included in my management fee?
We handle strategy, setup, optimization, reporting, negative keyword management and so much more. We only succeed if you succeed so our goal is to make you as much money as possible.
Why not just manage my own ads?
Go for it! We'd be happy to have a quick phone call to answer any questions you might have along the way. The biggest reason to not run your own ads is wasted spend. Some accounts are spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars every month on keywords like "bait and tackle" or "head boat near me". This is avoidable but it is not as simple as just adding that negative keyword alone. It is a check that must be done every few days at the least.
What's the minimum ad spend I need?
We recommend a minimum of $750/month for Google Ads. That said, budgets as low as $500/month have generated strong results over time.
