Discover & Audit
Week 1

Discovery & audit

We dig deep before we dive in.

Before we touch a single ad or write a single word, we do a thorough audit of your entire digital presence — your website, Google Business Profile, existing ad accounts, social channels, review history, and competitive landscape.

This isn’t a template checklist. We’re looking for your actual gaps, your real opportunities, and where your competitors are already winning. By the end of this phase, we know your business better than most agencies know their own.

Week 1 – 2

Strategy & roadmap

A custom plan built for your goals, not a cookie-cutter package.

Armed with your audit, we build a tailored digital strategy from scratch. We map out exactly which channels to prioritize, what budget to allocate, what content to create, and what milestones to hit — month by month.

You’ll review and sign off on everything before we spend a single dollar. No surprises. No assumptions. You’ll know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it’s expected to return.

Build & Launch
Week 2 – 4

Build & launch

We build the engine. You approve before anything goes live.

This is where we do the heavy lifting. We set up ad campaigns, write copy, design creative, build or optimize your landing pages, configure tracking, and schedule your first wave of content — all in parallel so nothing slows down.

Before launch, you see everything. Every ad, every page, every post. We move fast, but never without your sign-off on the work that carries your brand name.

Optimize & scale

We never set it and forget it. Ever.

Every week, we’re inside your accounts — reviewing performance data, testing new angles, pausing what isn’t working, and doubling down on what is. As results come in, we refine the strategy in real time.

This relentless optimization cycle is the difference between a campaign that flatlines after month two and one that keeps compounding. The longer we work together, the better the system gets.

Report & communicate

You’re always in the loop — never left wondering.

Every month, we send a plain-English performance report and schedule a call to walk through it together. No confusing dashboards. No hiding behind metrics that don’t mean anything. We show you the numbers that matter to your business: leads, calls, bookings, revenue.

And if something’s not working, we’ll tell you first — along with exactly what we’re doing to fix it. You’ll never have to chase us for answers.

Our commitment to you
Most agencies go quiet after onboarding. We built Ghost Shark to work the opposite way. The longer you work with us, the more invested we are — because your growth is how we measure our own success. We don’t lock you into long contracts because we don’t need to. The results keep you here.
The Deep Dive
Results first
We track leads, calls, and revenue — not vanity metrics that look good but don’t pay bills.
Trans-parency
You see everything — spend, performance, strategy. Nothing hidden, nothing dressed up.
Always improving
We don’t coast. Every week we’re testing, learning, and optimizing to get better results.
Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our digital services? Find quick answers to our most common inquiries below.

How long before we see results?

Paid ads typically produce leads within the first 2–4 weeks. SEO is a longer game — most clients see meaningful ranking movement in 60–90 days, with compounding gains over 6–12 months. We’ll set realistic expectations for your specific situation on our strategy call.

Do I need to be heavily involved?

No. We handle the day-to-day work. We’ll need your input during onboarding — brand assets, approvals, account access — and your attendance at monthly review calls. Outside of that, you run your business. We run your marketing.

What if I want to make changes mid-campaign?

Great campaigns evolve. You can flag changes anytime to your dedicated account contact. We review and implement adjustments quickly, especially anything time-sensitive like a promotion or a new service offering.

Are there long-term contracts?

We work on rolling monthly agreements after an initial 3-month onboarding period. The 3 months gives us enough runway to build, launch, and start optimizing properly. After that, you’re month to month.
