Common questions,
honest answers.
We believe in full transparency. Here's everything you need to know before working with Forte Ad Agency.
Most clients begin seeing leads within the first 7–14 days of launching. However, the first 30–60 days are a critical learning phase where we gather data and optimize performance. By month 2 or 3, campaigns are typically operating at their full potential.
We work with businesses across all industries — local services, insurance, healthcare, restaurants, e-commerce, automotive, franchises, startups, and more. If your business needs more customers and revenue, we can build the advertising system to get you there.
The free strategy consultation is a 20–30 minute call where we learn about your business, your current marketing efforts (if any), your target customer, your goals, and your budget. We then share our honest assessment of how we'd approach growing your business through paid ads. There's no pitch, no pressure — just a genuine conversation about your business.
Ad budget (what you pay the platforms like Facebook or Google) is separate from our management fee. We work with businesses across a wide range of budgets. During your free consultation, we'll recommend a starting budget that makes sense for your goals and industry. Our management plans start at $300/month on top of your ad spend.
No. We operate month-to-month on all our standard plans. We believe in earning your business every month through performance, not locking you in with a long-term contract. Simply give us at least two business days notice before your next billing cycle if you ever need to pause or cancel.
Our management fee is billed monthly. Your ad spend is paid directly to the platforms (Facebook, Google, etc.) and is completely separate from our fee. We never hold your ad budget — you maintain direct ownership and access to your ad accounts at all times.
The Joint Venture plan is our risk-sharing model. Instead of a monthly management fee, we take a percentage of the revenue our advertising directly generates for your business. You only pay when we help you win. This plan is only available to qualifying businesses — contact us to discuss if your business is a good fit.
Yes, absolutely. We prioritize flexibility. If you need to pause or discontinue your campaigns for any reason, simply give us at least two business days notice before your next billing cycle. No penalties, no drama. We understand that business circumstances change.
Yes. Before any ads go live, we send you previews for approval. You can suggest modifications or approve them directly. Every campaign we run aligns with your brand, your goals, and your expectations. You are always in control.
We specialize in Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Google Ads (Search, Display, Shopping, Performance Max), and TikTok Ads. During your strategy call, we'll recommend the platforms that are best suited for your specific business, industry, and target audience.
We provide full creative strategy and guidance, including ad copy, messaging frameworks, and creative direction. For static image and video assets, we work collaboratively with you — either using your existing brand assets or recommending the type of creative needed. We're focused on what converts, not just what looks good.
Transparency is core to how we work. You receive monthly performance reports with key metrics including impressions, clicks, leads generated, cost per lead, and return on ad spend. On Lift Off plans, you also receive monthly strategy calls where we walk you through the numbers and our next steps.
No reputable agency can guarantee specific results from paid advertising — and anyone who does is misleading you. What we guarantee is our full expertise, our commitment to continuous optimization, and our honest communication. Our track record speaks for itself: 500+ campaigns managed and clients who've achieved exceptional outcomes.
It depends on your industry, target audience, and goals. Google Ads are ideal for capturing high-intent buyers actively searching for your product or service. Facebook and Instagram are powerful for building brand awareness and generating leads from targeted audiences. TikTok excels for reaching younger demographics with creative video content. We'll recommend the right mix during your free consultation.
This is one of the most common situations we encounter. Most failed ad campaigns suffer from poor targeting, weak messaging, or a lack of ongoing optimization — not from paid advertising being fundamentally ineffective for that business. During your consultation, we'll review what was done before and show you how our approach would be different. Many of our best clients came to us after being burned by another agency or running ads themselves.
The best answer is a conversation.
