Experiment, then decideOpinions start the test. Numbers end it.
No. The plan covers our work. Your ad budget is paid to the platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok…) and we size it with you before launch, starting with what you can afford to test.
How small can the first test be?
Small. Hybrid Power Solutions found its first five solar leads with a $220 Google Ads test. We will tell you on the first call what budget gives a fair read for your offer.
What does “14 days risk-free” mean?
You can try the work for the first 14 days before committing. We explain the exact terms on the call, in writing, before anything starts.
Which channel should I start with?
It depends on how your buyers search and scroll. If you are unsure, Business Plus runs two channels side by side so the numbers decide.
Do you work outside Canada?
Yes. We are based in Montréal and have run campaigns for clients in Canada, the United States and France.
