Ten minutes of questions about your market, economics and current setup. You get channel Priority Scores, a landing-page and tracking decision, and every cost line before anyone talks to you.
Strategist review
A FOCUSADS strategist checks the plan against your accounts and data, and flags anything the engine could not know.
