What a competent engagement includes
Audit and restructuring first, then ongoing management of queries, negatives, creative and landing page alignment. Anything less is automation with a monthly fee.
- Full query mining with negatives added weekly
- Creative rotation with genuinely different propositions
- Landing pages matched to query intent
How we avoid budget waste
Separating research queries from buying queries and capping experiments, so learning never consumes more than an agreed share of the budget.
- Hard caps on exploratory spend
- Weekly search-term review, not monthly
- Clear rules for pausing losing segments
