Stop Paying for Clicks. Start Paying for Customers.

Paid ads work when two things are true: your website converts visitors into leads or sales, and you have a budget you can sustain for at least 90 days. If your site is slow, unclear, or broken — ads will burn money. We'll tell you honestly on the strategy call if we think you're not ready yet.

A working website or landing page, a Google or Meta account (we can create it if you don't have one), and your monthly ad budget ready to go. That's it. We handle everything else — copy, targeting, tracking, creative direction.

7 business days from signed agreement to live campaign. That includes account setup, conversion tracking, ad copy, audience targeting, and your first round of creative.

Nothing. You don't need to understand bid strategies, Quality Scores, or campaign types. You need to understand your business and your customers — we handle the rest. We explain everything in plain English, and we never use jargon to justify our fees.

Yes. If you've been running ads yourself or with another agency, we'll audit the account on the strategy call and tell you exactly what's working, what's wasting money, and what we'd change.

They are two completely separate costs. Your ad budget goes directly to Google, Meta, or LinkedIn — you pay them, not us. Our management fee is what you pay AK Digital House to build, run, and optimize the campaigns. We never take a percentage of your ad spend.

For local service businesses in the Triangle, a realistic starting point is $500–$1,500/month in ad spend. Ecommerce stores typically start at $1,500–$3,000/month. B2B companies with high-ticket services can often start at $1,000/month and still see results. We'll give you a specific recommendation on the strategy call based on your market and goals.

Because percentage models create a conflict of interest. If we charge 15% of your ad budget, we make more money when you spend more — even if spending more isn't the right call for your business. A flat fee means our incentive is your results, not your budget size.

No. Setup is included in your first month's management fee. There are no hidden onboarding fees, account creation fees, or creative fees on top of what's listed on the pricing page.

You increase it directly with Google or Meta — it's your account, your money. Our management fee only changes if you move to a higher tier that covers more platforms or more complex campaigns.

No. Month-to-month, cancel with 30 days notice. We'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in a contract.

Two, depending on how you come in. If you're launching a website with us, your first 30 days of ad management are on us — we run the campaigns, you keep every lead, no charge. If you're coming in for ads only, stay for two months and month three is free. By then your campaigns will be optimised and the results will speak for themselves. Either way, you only ever pay ad spend directly to the platform — never to us.

Campaigns go live in 7 business days. First leads typically follow within the first 1–2 weeks depending on your market, budget, and offer. Profitable, consistent lead flow usually takes 30–60 days as the campaign optimizes on real data.

No — and any agency that does is lying to you. Lead volume depends on your market size, your budget, your competition, and your offer. What we guarantee is the work: fast launch, tight targeting, weekly optimization, and full transparency on what's happening and why.

It means someone who took a meaningful action — filled out your contact form, called your number, booked an appointment, or made a purchase. We set up tracking before your campaign launches so we're measuring actual business outcomes, not just clicks and impressions.

You get a live Looker Studio dashboard from day one, updated daily. It shows your spend, clicks, leads, cost-per-lead, and platform breakdowns in plain English. You'll also get a written Friday summary every week with what happened, what we changed, and what we're testing next.

The first 30 days are a learning phase for the platform's algorithm. We typically see the best performance in weeks 3–8 as the campaign gathers real conversion data. We'll tell you in week two if something isn't showing early signals — and we'll adjust before you ask.

Often yes, but not always through outspending them. We win by finding the keywords and audiences they're ignoring, writing ads that convert better than theirs, and building landing pages that don't leak traffic. A smarter campaign beats a bigger budget more often than you'd think.

Google Ads captures demand — people who are already searching for what you offer. Meta Ads create demand — people who don't know you yet but fit your ideal customer profile. Service businesses and B2B companies usually start with Google. Ecommerce and consumer brands usually start with Meta. We'll tell you exactly which one fits your situation on the strategy call.

Yes, for the right businesses. TikTok works well for consumer products, younger demographics, and brands with visual appeal. It's usually not the right first platform for a local service business or B2B company. We'll tell you if it fits.

Performance Max is Google's AI-powered campaign type that runs ads across Search, YouTube, Display, Gmail, Maps, and Discover from a single campaign. It can be powerful when set up correctly — but it needs strong conversion tracking, good creative assets, and active human oversight to avoid wasting budget on low-quality placements. We run Performance Max for most of our local and ecommerce clients, always alongside proper audience signals and exclusions.

Yes. Our Growth and Scale tiers include dedicated landing pages built on our fast Astro stack — same 95+ Lighthouse score standard as our full websites. A campaign landing page built for conversion will outperform sending traffic to your homepage almost every time. And if you want to reduce long-term cost-per-lead by ranking organically too, our SEO & website optimization service runs alongside paid campaigns.

Yes, and we include it in every campaign from launch. Retargeting shows your ads to people who visited your site but didn't convert — typically at a much lower cost-per-lead than cold traffic. It's one of the most efficient uses of a small ad budget.

We can, but we'll build a landing page first. Sending paid traffic anywhere without a conversion-optimised destination is burning money. If you don't have a site yet, talk to us about our website design & development service — launch your site with us and your first 30 days of ad management are on us. We run the campaigns, you keep every lead.

Ayoub Kra — the founder. You won't be handed off to a junior account manager or an offshore team. Every campaign AKDH takes on is managed directly. That's why we limit the number of active clients we take at any time.

You get a live dashboard you can check any time. Every Friday you get a written performance summary — what happened, what changed, what's next. And you can email or message directly any time — you'll hear back within one business day, usually same day.

Yes. Always. Accounts are created in your name from day one. We operate as an authorized manager. If you ever leave, you keep everything — campaigns, audiences, conversion data, creative assets. No hostage-taking.

Just let us know with reasonable notice. You can pause your ad spend at any time — you control that directly in your Google or Meta account. Our management fee is paused for the same period. We'll pick up exactly where we left off when you're ready.

We'd ask you to run changes through us first — not to protect our work, but because changes made outside of the optimization cycle can reset the algorithm's learning phase and cost you momentum. If you have a new offer, a new promotion, or copy you want to test, tell us and we'll implement it properly.

You'll get a clear summary of what the campaign produced — leads, cost-per-lead, best-performing ads — and a recommendation for what to do next. You can continue at our standard Launchpad rate ($750/month), upgrade to a higher tier, pause, or take the campaigns in-house. Your accounts and all campaign data are yours regardless.

Fair question. Before launching AKDH, I ran campaigns across 50+ projects on Fiverr and Upwork — five-star rated, with real results. I built this agency because I wanted to do the same work with guaranteed timelines, direct client relationships, and local accountability. You're not funding my learning curve. You're getting someone who has run campaigns for businesses in your situation before.

Most of our clients have been. The pattern is usually the same: long contract, slow start, vague reporting, and a sales rep who disappears after you sign. Our answer to that is the opposite on every point — no contract, 7-day launch, live dashboard, and you talk directly to the person doing the work.

Our focus is the Triangle — Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Apex, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina. We know these markets, we know the competition, and we can meet in person. We do take select remote clients when the fit is strong, but local always comes first.

You own your ad accounts from day one. Your budget goes directly to Google or Meta — not through us. There's nothing to disappear with. And you can cancel anytime. The only thing keeping you as a client is results.
