Two failure modes

Almost every account swings between two failure modes. A loop replaces both.

After $45M in managed spend the pattern is consistent. Accounts rarely fail for lack of budget or product. They fail in one of two ways, and both look normal from the dashboard.

The untouched black box

01
CEILING

A Performance Max campaign built over a year ago reports a comfortable return on ad spend while nobody checks what sits underneath. Brand traffic does the heavy lifting, unprofitable products ride along unnoticed, and stable performance quietly becomes a ceiling.

  • Brand doing 60%+ of conversions
  • Nobody reads the search terms
  • Same structure for 14 months

The panic burst

02

Weeks of silence, then a dip, then ten changes in one afternoon. Learning phases reset, nobody can tell which change did what, and the account comes out more fragile than it went in.

  • Ten edits, one afternoon
  • Learning phase permanently on
  • No record of why anything changed
Check my account Recognise one of these? That's exactly what the teardown looks for.
What's a loop?

How one loop runs over five cycles.

Cycle 1 of 5 Step 1/5

Step 1

Ingest. Read everything, not a sample.

Search terms, feed diagnostics, product margins after COGS, session behaviour and asset performance all land in one place, in full, before anyone forms an opinion.

Reviews

From the people working with us for years.

4.7 rating on Trustpilot
“Marco has managed ads for my two stores for almost two years. The business has generated 8 figures in revenue, and his expertise has been an important part of that.”
MVMiika V.Robust
“Helped us get cold traffic conversions when our account was almost all branded traffic. His insights have really helped the account grow.”
JJosephSTRDigital
“A significant increase in non-brand revenue, especially from first-time customers. They took the time to understand our business and tailored their approach.”
LBLaura B.The Tea Spot
“Completely took over our Google Ads and made them a sustainable channel. We set 3-month expectations and they blew them out of the water.”
WWinstonComma Football
“I have been working with Marco for over 4 years. Consistent, satisfying results. He truly understands my industry.”
RRoccoIceClique
“A significant factor in the growth of my brand. They increased the overall efficiency of my ads, revenue, and profitability. Like an extension of my team.”

Is the teardown worth it for you?

Worth your ten seconds if

  • You run an online store doing $50k+ a month.

    Shopify, WooCommerce or custom, with Google Ads running already or about to start.

  • Your product is validated and selling.

    We scale what works. We don't find product-market fit for you.

  • You'd let us restructure properly.

    Feed and account rebuilt the right way, rather than nudging budgets and hoping.

Save yourself the ten seconds if

  • You're not an online store.

    Local services, clinics, SaaS and lead generation aren't what we do, so the teardown won't help you.

  • Nothing sells yet, on any channel.

    A loop needs signal to work with, and so do we.

  • You want a cheap pair of hands.

    If the plan is yours and you just need execution, that's not what this is.
