16+ yrs digital marketing experience Selective intake 90-day proof period

Structured paid search for florists.

Floral demand doesn't arrive evenly — it moves in peaks, lulls, and recurring cycles a flat campaign can't follow.

We built parallel campaign calendars for a multi-year florist engagement — shaping budget around the demand year, rather than bidding against it month to month.

How we engage

A disciplined process, not a sales pitch.

We work the way good business owners work — define the problem before solving it, measure before changing anything, name the gap before proposing the fix.

01 Define

Name the real problem

We define the actual problem, not the assumed one.

02 Measure

Baseline before changing

We baseline your funnel honestly before we touch anything.

03 Analyze

Diagnose the leak

We diagnose where the funnel actually leaks — usually not where you'd guess.

04 Improve

Build the fix

Structured paid search and landing pages, calibrated to your gap.

05 Control

Run the discipline

Ongoing reviews against baseline. The work doesn't end at launch.

Each engagement is calibrated to your business and your market. The framework is consistent; the calibration is bespoke.

How we work

Most agencies buy clicks. We run the math.

Search demand and landing-page conversion. The two stages that decide whether paid search works.

01

Audit before action

Week 1 is diagnosis, not launch. Account structure, search term waste, tracking gaps, landing page speed. You see what's broken before we touch a campaign.

02

We skip Local Services Ads on purpose

LSAs invite dispute hell. You end up paying for tire kickers and complaints about jobs you never quoted. We bypass that channel entirely and bid on high-intent search instead.

03

Optimize against real conversion signal

Cheap clicks look great in dashboards — they don't fill the calendar. We optimize against the leads, calls, and form submissions that actually represent qualified demand. What your sales team or front desk does with those leads is your work; getting the right leads in front of you is ours.

04

Fast pages capture more inquiries

Standard templates lose qualified clicks while loading. We use hand-coded HTML or properly cached environments so your page renders before customers hit back. A click that bounces before the page loads is a lead you never had a chance to win.

05

Add Microsoft Ads when ready

Same buyers, lower CPCs, less competition. Almost no agency at this scale bothers with Microsoft Ads. That's the wedge. Included automatically at the $15K+ combined-spend tier.

06

You own every account

Your Google Ads, your Microsoft Ads, your data. We work inside your accounts as a manager — never as the owner. If you leave, nothing breaks, because nothing was ever locked.

The 90-day proof of concept

How the first 90 days actually unfold.

No magic. A structured sequence designed so you see real progress before any long-term commitment.

WK 1

Audit & baseline

Full diagnostic. You see what's broken in writing before we touch a campaign.

WK 2

Rebuild & launch

Tracking fixed. First landing page deployed. Campaigns live by day 14, typical.

WK 3–4

Data & tune

Real conversion data starts flowing. We tune CPA caps and kill waste daily.

DAY 90

Performance review

A written review against the baseline we set in week one. Numbers in hand, you decide whether to continue.

The honest comparison

Three paths most owners consider.

The real comparison isn't "best agency" — it's "what are my options?" Here's how working with us compares to the two other paths most florists weigh.

Case study

Pacing a florist's paid search to the demand year.

An Indiana-based florist. A multi-year engagement, renewed across seasonal cycles. Anonymized at the client's request. Not a growth headline — a pacing one.

★ Engagement

Building campaigns around the calendar, not against it

For a florist, demand is not a steady line. It spikes hard around a handful of event windows, runs quietly and continuously through sympathy and everyday orders, and falls away in the off-peak months. Treated as a flat keyword-bidding problem, paid search fights that rhythm. Treated as a pacing problem, it can follow it.

Industry Independent florist
Location Indiana, US
Engagement Multi-year, renewed
Focus Seasonal demand pacing

The problem

Floral is a seasonal-pacing problem more than a keyword problem. The same budget that is far too small during a peak event window is wasteful in a quiet month. A campaign that bids the same way all year is, by definition, mis-paced for most of it — overspending into lulls and under-resourced exactly when demand is highest.

Why it mattered

Get the pacing wrong and the cost is paid twice: budget burned in slow months that produced little, and missed orders in peak windows the campaign wasn't ready for. For an independent florist, where peak windows carry a large share of the year's revenue, mis-paced spend isn't a rounding error — it's the difference between a strong season and an average one.

The work

Parallel campaign calendars, paced to the demand year
1
Peak windows

Campaigns built around the high-demand event windows that anchor the florist's year — with budget shaped to scale into those windows and paced year over year, so each peak is resourced ahead of the demand rather than chasing it.

2
Recurring demand

Running in parallel, campaigns for the steady, year-round demand — sympathy orders and everyday purchases that arrive continuously between the peaks. This is the quiet base the seasonal spikes sit on top of, and it is easy to neglect while chasing the obvious windows.

3
Off-peak brand

Through the genuinely quiet months, brand campaigns kept return on ad spend healthy rather than letting the account go dark — keeping the florist visible and the account warm so the next peak window doesn't start from a cold stop.

The thing most agencies miss

Ads don't grow florists. Pacing them to the demand year does.

A campaign is working when high-intent customers — people actively searching for what you sell — find your business and have a clear path to inquire. What happens after the inquiry is your team's work. Our job is to make sure the right inquiries arrive in the first place, in volume and at sustainable cost.

How the engagement is structured

Built to earn your business, not lock you in.

Most agencies hide behind 12-month contracts and show results in month five — after you've already spent enough that leaving feels expensive. We structured it the other way around.

COMMITMENT 01

Campaigns live and inquiries flowing in month one — or month one is half price

Within your first month of engagement, we commit to: structured Google and Microsoft Ads campaigns live, landing pages built and tested, measurement framework deployed, and qualified inquiries arriving in your funnel. If that work hasn't shipped and produced visible inquiry flow by the end of month one, your first month's management fee is reduced by 50% — applied directly to your invoice, no claims process, no paperwork. You'll still pay Google and Microsoft for ad spend, but our share of the work runs at half until we've delivered ours.

Applies to engagements with agreed minimum ad spend and standard onboarding cooperation. "Inquiry flow" means measurable inbound activity from the campaigns — not a guaranteed lead count, which depends on your market and budget. Full terms in the engagement contract.
COMMITMENT 02

A 90-day proof period — then you decide

Your first 90 days are a defined proof period, not a contract trap. On day 90, we present a written performance review against the baseline metrics we agreed in week one — CPA trend, conversion lift, lead volume, traffic share. The numbers go on the table, and you decide whether to continue. After day 90, the engagement runs month-to-month with 30 days' notice either way. No long-term lock-in, no exit penalties.

Performance measured against the agreed baseline established at engagement start. Continuation is your decision based on documented results.
Why us, specifically

16 years in digital marketing. Applied to your funnel.

The Internet Funnel was built around a simple observation: most florists don't lose money because Google Ads failed. They lose it because the budget was paced wrong — burned in quiet months, and short exactly when the season arrived.

We've shipped paid campaigns through three platform eras — AdWords' early auction days, the mobile-first shift, the AI-driven era we're in now. We know which platform changes are structural and which are hype. We've burned budgets on bad assumptions and watched launch months look ugly before they looked good. Pattern recognition like that doesn't come from a course.

Strategy from the seat with 16 years of pattern recognition. Execution from a focused team operating against documented SOPs.

How this works in practice: Senior lead shapes every account's strategy — audit framing, campaign architecture, escalations. Day-to-day work runs against documented SOPs and weekly account reviews. Quality doesn't depend on who's online.
★ Founder's take
Most agencies still optimize for clicks. Clicks aren't customers, and they aren't promises. We optimize for the qualified inquiries that give business owners something real to work with — then we get out of the way and let them run their business.

The AI question

AI is reshaping paid search. Experience-driven judgment still decides whether it works for you.

What's changed.

Bid management, ad variant testing, audience expansion, creative optimization at scale — these are increasingly handled by machine learning faster and more reliably than any human team can match. The agencies still selling these as their core service are selling something the platforms now do automatically.

What hasn't.

The AI doesn't decide what your business considers a real conversion. It doesn't know that for an independent florist a walk-in customer and an online order need different attribution logic, or that this month's quiet stretch is normal seasonality rather than a campaign failing. It optimizes against the signal in front of it — and it can't see the demand year the way an operator does. Feed it a flat target and it will pace a seasonal business flat.

Where we sit.

Our work is in the data layer the AI sees. Building conversion architecture. Pacing budget to real demand instead of a flat monthly average. Defining what counts as a qualified inquiry for your business specifically. Recalibrating when the AI starts optimizing toward the wrong target. That's not a tactical task — it's a judgment task. And judgment is what sixteen years of pattern recognition produces.

Across every florist engagement, the same pattern holds: outcomes follow how well the campaign is paced to real demand. Build the calendar correctly and the AI does the rest. Get it wrong and no amount of bidding sophistication will save a mis-paced budget.

How combined spend works: At $15,001+ combined ad spend, both platforms run together as a single integrated engagement. Combined spend across both determines your tier.
5% of spend only on the top tier. Below $30,000 combined spend, it's a flat fee. Above $30,000, the 5% scales naturally with your business.
Ad spend is paid directly to the platforms, separate from our management fee.

FAQ

Questions worth asking.

And our honest answers.

How does your pricing work?

Pricing is published on this page — see the pricing section for the full structure. The short version: a flat monthly management fee that tracks your combined Google + Microsoft Ads spend, with both platforms running together once you're above a certain spend threshold. Ad spend is paid directly to the platforms, separate from the management fee.

Which tier fits you depends on your current spend, the markets you're in, and what you're trying to scale. Easiest to walk through on a 30-minute call once we've understood the business — book one when you're ready and we'll map it out.

Who owns my ad account?

You do. Always. We work inside your Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, GA4, and call tracking accounts as a manager — not as the owner. If you ever leave, the accounts remain yours with no migration headache. We never gate-keep your data.

What's the minimum ad spend for working with you?

No formal minimum. Our entry tier starts at $500/mo management fee for combined ad spend up to $5,000/month. Below about $2,000–$3,000/month in ad spend, the math gets harder for both sides — there isn't enough volume to optimize against. But we'll have an honest conversation about whether paid ads is the right move for your business at any spend level.

Ad spend is paid directly to Google and Microsoft, separate from our management fee.

How long is the contract?

A 90-day proof period to start, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No long-term lock-in, no auto-renew clauses.

The 90-day window exists so we have time to rebuild what's broken, optimize against real data, and prove the math. On day 90, you receive a written performance review against the baseline we established in week one — and the decision to continue sits with you, informed by documented results from your own account.

Where is your team based, and how does that affect day-to-day work?

Our team operates from India with working hours that overlap North American business days. Most clients reach us faster than they reach agencies in their own city — when you send a message at 5 PM Eastern, it lands on a team that's mid-afternoon.

Quality is structural, not personal. The team operates against documented SOPs — every audit, every campaign launch, every weekly review follows the same checklist regardless of who is online. Strategic decisions on every account — audit framing, campaign architecture, escalations — pass through Mrigank, so a 16-year veteran is in the loop on every engagement. Your dashboards and reports are live and visible to you around the clock; you don't wait for our updates to see what is happening.

We research US local markets specifically — competitor SERP data, regional search trends, local-language ad copy variants. The team has shipped paid search campaigns across major US metros including Chicago, Phoenix, Denver, Austin, Washington DC, Charlotte, Bellevue, and Orange County.

Who will I actually work with day-to-day?

You'll have a dedicated point of contact for day-to-day campaign work — weekly check-ins, optimization, reporting, and replies to your messages. The same person, every time, so context never gets lost.

Strategy is led by Mrigank, who frames every account's initial audit, signs off on campaign architecture, joins quarterly reviews, and is the escalation point for anything that matters. This isn't a bait-and-switch where the founder sells and juniors deliver — execution runs against Mrigank's methodology and documented SOPs. The founder is in the loop, not in every meeting. That's how you get 16-year-veteran thinking with full-time execution coverage at our price point.

On the Scale tier (combined ad spend $30K+), Mrigank joins the monthly strategy session directly.

How well do you understand the business behind the ads?

Deeply — and for florists, that depth shows up in pacing first. Running paid search for a seasonal business means we think about the things generalist ads agencies often don't: that demand is not a flat line but a calendar of peak windows, recurring sympathy and everyday orders, and genuinely quiet months — and that the same budget is far too small in a peak and wasteful in a lull. A campaign paced to a monthly average is mis-paced for most of the year.

Our case study is a multi-year engagement with an Indiana florist, built exactly around that calendar — parallel campaigns paced to the demand year rather than run flat against it. Full detail in the case study above.

Do you run Local Services Ads (LSAs)?

No, and that's a deliberate choice. LSAs sound good on paper, but in practice operators end up paying for disputed leads, low-intent inquiries, and contacts that were never a real fit. The dispute process is opaque and the lead quality is inconsistent.

Instead, we put your budget on high-intent search traffic — people actively looking to buy flowers, whether for an occasion or a sympathy order. That traffic lands on a fast, controlled landing page built for the demand it's meeting. You get fewer wasted dollars, more genuine local demand, and a campaign you can actually measure and pace.

What should I realistically expect in the first 30 days?

Honest answer: the first 30 days is mostly about getting the foundation right and buying the data we need. Week 1 is audit and tracking fixes. Week 2 is rebuilding account structure and shipping the first landing page. Weeks 3–4 is launch and initial optimization.

You'll see leads coming in by the end of month one — that's the commitment. But the first month is rarely the most efficient. Conversion data has to accumulate before we can set the right CPA caps and let the algorithms work properly. The real ROI inflection usually happens in months 2–3, which is why our 90-day proof of concept is structured the way it is.

If month one is genuinely empty — no real leads at all — the half-price month-one commitment applies. We don't promise overnight miracles, but we don't bill full rate for a month that didn't deliver either.

What tools will I need to pay for separately?

You pay Google and Microsoft directly for ad spend. You also typically pay for call tracking (we recommend WhatConverts or CallRail — your choice), and any CRM or follow-up software you choose to use.

We don't get kickbacks from these vendors, we don't host your tools on our infrastructure, and we don't lock you into a platform. Recommendations are based on what fits your situation, not what pays us a commission.

What's your response time really like?

2-hour response TAT during reasonable working hours, and most responses are immediate. Outside business hours, you'll have a reply by morning.

The structural reason this works: we have a distributed team across India and US time zones. Someone is online for almost every hour you'd be working.

How do you use AI in our campaigns?

We've watched paid ads evolve through three platform eras — AdWords gold rush, mobile/automation, and now AI-driven everything. That perspective shapes how we use AI: where it actually moves the needle, not where it sounds good in marketing copy.

AI gets used in specific places: daily search term classification (flagging waste and opportunity), ad copy variant generation (drafted weekly, reviewed by humans), audit generation (5-page audits produced overnight), lead quality scoring (call tagging where compatible), and weekly report drafting.

What stays human: strategy, account structure decisions, bid adjustments, relationship work, and anything that touches your money. AI removes the tedium, not the judgment. After 16 years, we know the difference.

What if it isn't working out?

Two structural protections. First, if campaigns aren't live and producing visible inquiry flow by the end of month one from engagement start, your first month's management fee is reduced by 50% — applied to your invoice directly. Second, at day 90 you receive a written performance review against the agreed baseline, and you decide whether to continue. If the numbers aren't there, the engagement closes on day 90. No long-term contract, no exit penalty, no notice-period fees.

Beyond the formal commitments: we'd rather you leave on month four than stay on month six unhappy. Long retention through unhappy clients isn't a business we want to run.
