When an agency says the first quarter is for testing, what they mean is that they do not yet know what works in your industry, and you are funding the education.
We already ran the test
Since 2018 we have built campaigns across the same narrow set of local service niches, several hundred times. Every one of those accounts left something behind: a negative keyword list, an ad that outperformed, a landing page layout that booked more inspections.
What the two days actually contain
Day one is account structure, keyword and negative sets pulled from the library for your industry, and conversion plus call tracking configured before a single click is bought. Day two is the landing page, adapted to your service area, your pricing and your proof.
Then the real work starts
Launching fast is not the same as finishing fast. From go live onward the account is reviewed weekly against lead quality. The difference is that the optimisation starts from something already proven, rather than from zero.
