What You Can Expect
As far as a budget, it depends on what exactly you want to achieve, how high in the rankings you want to be, and what you will need to spend in order to get there.
FOR EXAMPLE:
If you are starting a cleaning business, or a car detailing business, there will be some very clear competitors that are ahead of you in the field. If you have done any research at all, you will most likely already know who those companies are. That will be our first area of focus. Looking at how to get ahead of them.
If you don't want to be #1 in your area on Google for your business category and keywords, and just generating business is your goal, you obviously won't need to spend as much money.
THE MAIN THING that we're ensuring is that you are getting what you pay for. If you invested $1000 a month with me besides my expenses, $10,000 or more from that in your pocket is a good goal. This is pretty straightforward and simple. If it isn't going to make you money, you won't want to do it. 10% is what I shoot for. Outlining what that looks like, understanding your goals, and creating a plan of action that is completely transparent and supported by you and whoever you make decisions with will be the priority. I won't do percentages, as there is simply no way to hold someone accountable to that.
I will be very straightforward with what you can expect.
