PROFIT IS THE PRIORITY

What good is a higher ROAS if you’re not profitable?

If your goal is to scale, these priorities guide what we optimize first.

PRIORITY 01

Profit is king

Find what’s profitable, build on what’s working, and fix what’s not.

PRIORITY 02

ROAS is queen

Once we’ve identified what’s profitable, we focus on making your ad spend work harder for every dollar invested.

PRIORITY 03

Then CAC

Lower the cost of acquiring quality customers so you can scale more profitably.

Before we decide what to build, we need to find what’s holding back your profits.

Introducing the

system™

Here’s how it works

STEP 01

Map out the funnel constraints

We audit the path from ad to checkout to see where people drop off. We map what’s working, what’s inconsistent, and what needs attention.

  • Green: It works. You can rely on it.
  • Yellow: It half works or is inconsistent.
  • Red: It’s broken or constrained.

STEP 02

Triangulate the evidence

The numbers show where to look. Customer behavior and an expert review help explain why, so we can form a hypothesis worth testing.

STEP 03

Fix what’s closest to the money first

We work backward from the money. If checkouts are the money, then fix checkouts first. If sign-ups are the money, then fix sign-ups first. We move upstream using the data to decide what to fix next.

Checkout

Start closest to the money. Work backward.

STEP 04

Test, learn, and optimize

Testing isn’t the multiplier. Optimizing is the multiplier. Testing removes the guesswork. Testing validates what works. We measure what changed, learn what moved profit, and use that data to guide what we optimize next.

Each test informs the next.

WORKING TOGETHER

Frequently asked questions

I already have a team. Why should I hire you?

Different brains produce different breakthroughs. If your goal is to scale, another perspective can help your team spot opportunities they haven’t seen yet.

Familiarity creates blind spots. The longer a team works on the same brand, the easier it is for assumptions to become accepted as facts. Outside thinkers are less attached to previous decisions, which makes it easier to question what’s holding growth back.

We already have a CRO specialist. Why do we need another?

You’re not replacing your CRO specialist. You’re multiplying your testing velocity. Different specialists bring different pattern recognition, so another perspective can help uncover new hypotheses and give you a second layer of validation.

Conversion problems don’t always originate on the website. Sometimes they start with the ad, the angle, or the expectations someone brings to the page. I look at that whole journey to help identify what’s worth testing next.

Why invest in new angles when we already have winners?

More shots at the goal increase your chances of finding another winning angle. Your current winners give us a useful starting point, and new angles give you more opportunities to scale.

One winning angle can change a business. Two can help you grow faster. Imagine what consistently finding winning angles could do for yours.

How do you decide which angles are worth testing?

I use data to make decisions. I look at what’s worked historically, what customers are saying, and where there are gaps between what the market cares about and what your current messaging addresses. That gives us a reason to test an angle, instead of guessing.

How involved will I need to be?

Once I get the basics from you, we clarify the goal, the context, and the guardrails. Then I handle it from there.

I’ll keep you in the loop, but I don’t need someone directing every hook, draft, or next step. I love ownership and move quickly. Once I understand what we’re trying to accomplish, I can take it from there.

How do we know we can count on you to bring good ideas?

If I think a hook or concept doesn’t make sense, I’ll respectfully say so. If you want an order taker who executes the brief without questioning the thinking behind it, I’m probably not your person.

I look at the data and let that shape what we do next. I’m not precious about my ideas. If something doesn’t work, I learn and iterate. I’m not attached to being right. I’m attached to figuring out what works.

Do you guarantee results?

It depends. If I don’t control the funnel or the variables affecting performance, I can’t guarantee an outcome that’s outside my control.

For my ads, I can guarantee this: if they don’t at least meet your current ad performance baseline KPIs, I’ll give you your money back. We’ll agree on those baseline KPIs before we start. I’m not going to sell you something I can’t stand behind.
