FAQ

Do you do intro/demo calls?

No. I'm not a salesperson — consulting isn't my main thing. If you're unsure I can help, or the price feels high, it's probably better to wait.

Do you help with Google Ads?

Not as a main focus, but I can do spot reviews.

Do you work solo or with a team?

Mostly solo. When needed, I bring in specialists I trust with my own projects.

My budget is ~$1k/mo. Does it make sense?

Probably not yet. Start with my free Apple Search Ads guide — it covers the basics.
