$40K WASTED.

Agency Red Flags
✕ Guarantees rankings or specific results
✕ Will not share ad account access
✕ Locks you into long-term contracts
✕ Different team every call
✕ Reports vanity metrics (followers, impressions)
✕ Cannot explain their strategy in plain English
✕ Blames the market when results are poor
✕ Offshore content with no industry knowledge
✕ No conversion tracking setup
✕ Charges you for tools you could get cheaper
The ZRG Approach
✓ Shows you the data. Never guarantees rankings.
✓ You own every account. Period.
✓ Month to month. Results keep you, not contracts.
✓ Same team. Same strategist. Every call.
✓ Reports revenue, leads, and cost per acquisition.
✓ Strategy explained on a call before you sign.
✓ Takes responsibility. Adjusts. Communicates.
✓ Local team. Industry-specific content.
✓ Conversion tracking on day one. Non-negotiable.
✓ Builds custom tools. You own them.
