Spending On Ads And Guessing At The Results?

  • Leads arrive in bursts and dry up without warning
  • Ad spend is not traceable to revenue
  • One campaign is selling three different services at once

We build the campaign, the page it lands on, and the tracking that connects them, so you can see which work produced which enquiry instead of guessing.

What Changes

  • Traceable Spend

    Conversion tracking configured properly, so every enquiry maps back to the campaign, keyword, and page that produced it.

  • Campaigns By Service

    One campaign per thing you sell, not one campaign for everything. It is the single most common reason an account underperforms.

  • Follow-Through

    The sequences that catch the people who enquired and went quiet, which is where most of the wasted spend actually goes.

How It Runs

Structure First, Then Spend

Paid search produces data in days and reliable data in about four to six weeks. What happens before the first dollar is what decides which of those you get.

  1. Audit, or a clean build

    Bring the account you have or nothing at all. If there is something running we work out what is actually producing enquiries and what is quietly burning budget, and either way you get told what is wrong with it before you have spent anything with us.

  2. One campaign per thing you sell

    This is the single most common reason an account underperforms. Mile High arrived with one ad group carrying 71 unfocused keywords for three different services. It became three service-specific groups targeted separately at bar service, classes and staffing.

  3. The page comes with it

    Most agencies manage the ad and blame the site. A campaign pointed at the wrong page cannot be optimised into working, so the landing page is built alongside the campaign and matches the ad that sent someone to it.

  4. Tracking, verified before launch

    Conversion tracking and analytics configured and tested end to end, so every enquiry maps back to the campaign, keyword and page that produced it. Verified before spend starts, not discovered to be broken a month in.

  5. Prove the number small, then scale

    A small budget establishes a real cost per acquisition before anyone talks about increasing it. NewFlower launched at $110.20 a sign-up and settled at $60.16 across weeks five to eight. That is the point at which scaling is a decision rather than a gamble.

Month to month after the first ninety days. Ad spend is billed by the platform directly and is never marked up.

  • Josh helped us migrate from Squarespace to a much more robust hosting platform. While doing so he also redesigned our website to improve flow and clarity. He also took the time to optimize our site for SEO, and since launching the new site we have seen an uptick in site traffic.

  • Helped get our events branding up and running at a truly reasonable price. Definitely worth the return on investment, including the ongoing consultations. Josh has a keen sense for SEO and business acumen.

Investment

Setup Once, Then Priced To Your Spend

Management steps with the size of the account, so a small budget is not paying for a big one. Ad spend goes straight to the platform and is never marked up.

  • Google Ads

    Intent you capture: people already searching for what you sell. The usual first step.

    Setup, one time

    $1,000

    • $300/moMonthly reportAccounts spending up to $500
    • $500/moReports every two weeksAccounts spending up to $1,000
    • $1,000/moWeekly reportsAny budget, no ceiling

    Every tier includes:

    • Account build or rebuild, structured by service
    • A custom funnel landing page, built and managed
    • CRM setup with SMS and email automations
    • Conversion tracking verified before launch
    • Creative and copy testing on your reporting cycle
  • Meta Ads

    Demand you create rather than capture. The same build, on a platform where nobody is searching yet.

    Setup, one time

    $2,000

    • $450/moMonthly reportAccounts spending up to $500
    • $750/moReports every two weeksAccounts spending up to $1,000
    • $1,500/moWeekly reportsAny budget, no ceiling

    Every tier includes:

    • Account build, structured by audience and offer
    • A custom funnel landing page, built and managed
    • CRM setup with SMS and email automations
    • Pixel and conversion tracking verified before launch
    • Creative testing on your reporting cycle
  • Search & AI Visibility

    The channel that keeps working the month you stop paying for clicks. Runs with ads or on its own.

    Both channels

    $750/mo

    Or $500/mo for either one alone:

    • Search engine optimisation
    • AI search optimisation, so you surface in assistants and overviews
    • Content written and published on a monthly cycle
    • Rank tracking across both, reported in plain language

Setup is charged once and does not change with the tier you run. Month to month after the first ninety days.

  • We audit before you commit

    You get told what is wrong with your current account before you have spent anything with us.

  • Ad spend is never marked up

    It is billed by Google or Meta directly. Management is the only thing you pay us for.

  • Month to month after ninety days

    Long enough to produce real data, then nothing holding you in place.

Why Us

Built By The Person Who Runs It

  • No Account Layer

    You talk to the person managing the account. Nothing is translated through a coordinator and nothing waits in a queue.

  • The Page Comes With It

    Most agencies manage the ad and blame the site. We build both, because a campaign pointed at the wrong page cannot be optimised into working.

  • Spend Stays Small Until It Works

    We prove a cost per acquisition on a small budget before recommending you scale it. That is how the NewFlower launch reached 59 paid sign-ups.

Growth Systems FAQ

How much does Google Ads management cost in Denver?
Google Ads is $1,000 to set up, then management from $300 a month at up to $500 of ad spend, $500 at up to $1,000, and $1,000 a month above that. Meta is $2,000 to set up with management at 1.5 times those figures. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platform, never marked up. Denver agencies commonly charge 15 to 20 percent of spend instead, which quietly rewards them for spending more of your money.
How much should I budget for ad spend?
It depends what you are trying to learn. $500 a month will tell you whether your offer and your landing page convert at all, which is worth knowing before you spend more, and it is why the entry tier exists. $1,000 to $3,000 a month is where a campaign produces enough data to optimise properly, and it is where most local service businesses settle. Either way we would rather prove a cost per acquisition on a small budget than scale something unproven. One recent client reached a $62.78 blended cost per acquisition, with the best weeks running $10 to $19.
How long before I see results?
Paid search produces data in days and reliable data in about four to six weeks. SEO is slower and honest about it: three to six months before movement, longer in competitive categories. If someone promises page one in thirty days, ask what they are going to do that Google would not like.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
Ninety days, then month to month. Ninety days is not a lock-in tactic, it is the shortest honest window to build, gather data, and act on it. Leaving before that means paying for the setup and none of the optimisation.
Do you do lead generation for Denver businesses?
That is most of what this is. Lead generation in Denver usually means three things working together: paid search catching people already looking for you, a Google Business Profile and local pages so you turn up in the map results, and follow-up that reaches the enquiries who went quiet. We build all three, and the tracking that tells you which one produced each enquiry. Denver is home base and we meet local clients in person whenever they want, though the work is delivered nationwide.
Do you manage Meta ads as well as Google?
Yes. They do different jobs: Google catches people already searching for what you sell, Meta creates demand among people who were not looking. Most businesses should start with Google, because intent is already there and it is cheaper to learn on.
