Has anyone had success running Google Ads in the first 30–90 days of a new SEO campaign to generate leads fast and keep the client confident while SEO ramps up? If yes, how do you usually set it up (budget, campaign type, keywords, landing pages), and what mistakes should I avoid?

Alright, given it’s a new year, I want to share what I think everyone in here should be doing right now — not theory, not motivation… just practical stuff that you action right now. The objective is simple - reduce the noise, make more by doing less. You want to INCREASE income, and DECREASE outgoings. You should also be thinking about decluttering - everywhere. Your agency, your team, your client base, mentally - everywhere. It's time to clean up the mess and get serious about kicking ass in 2026 - no excuses. 1. Cost reduction – do a proper audit The first thing I’d be doing is a full audit of every single expense. Software, subscriptions, freelancers, contractors, random tools you signed up for “temporarily” and never cancelled. A lot of you will be bleeding cash everywhere through small monthly expenses that don’t feel expensive, but add up fast. Ask yourself: - Do I actually use this? - Is this going to help me reach my goal, or is this purely a distraction? - Does this directly help me acquire clients and make money? If the answer is “probably not needed,” cut it. Cleaner expenses = cleaner margins = less pressure. Once you have done this - share just how much money you've saved yourself below. I have just spent the past 3 weeks doing this and saved over $3k in outgoings. Most of it was absolute bullshit - $20 here, $90 there. Get rid of it! 2. Service reduction – you don't need 35 different services! Most agencies think growth comes from adding "more stuff". In reality, all that's doing is causing stress, complexity and chaos. Go through your services and identify anything that: - Takes a lot of time to deliver - Is hard to standardise - Requires constant hand-holding - Generates low profit relative to effort These services are keeping you stuck - get rid of them! Removing one high-effort, low-return service often has a bigger impact than adding a new one. Less complexity = better delivery and better margins. Most of you could be doing $1M a year with just ONE service offering.

Welcome — you made it! The Bring the SEO community now lives here, under the new brand "Tonvaro". Dont ask me what it means - I don't know. I just wanted something that was short, easy to remember and brandable (and not related to SEO) Okay so a quick heads up - over the coming weeks, new lessons will be added as they’re ready. Right now I'm finalizing positioning and after that I will be focusing on marketing, which will include Meta ads. Please note that all technical SEO training has been removed from the community. If you’d like to continue watching SEO-specific content, you can find that on my YouTube channel. I also want to set clear expectations moving forward: I will no longer be answering technical SEO-related questions. The core focus of this community moving forward is client acquisition and sales. This means helping everyone get clients, close deals and actually making money. If you need help or have any questions feel free to ask here. Lastly, group calls will also be resuming over the next month or so. Thanks again for your patience during the changeover and welcome to the next phase of the community.
