Mega FAQs

What are the next steps after the discovery call?

We typically work on a 2 meeting process.

1. The Discovery Call
We start by discussing your business goals and assessing your current performance across Google, Bing, and Meta ads.

Then, we walk you through the proprietary strategy behind our case studies. We’ll take you through our comprehensive 14-page framework - covering everything from creative direction to detailed reporting.

Note: This isn't just a sales pitch; you will leave this call with significant actionable value and a clear understanding of how we drive results.

2. The Proposal Meeting
If we’re a good fit, we will request access to your Google, Meta and Bing ad accounts to perform a deep-dive audit. We identify exactly where your current strategy is leaking money and where the potential for scale lies.

In this second meeting, we present your winning strategy, the projected profitability, and a transparent retainer price for partnering with us.

Do you handle creatives or just media buying?

Both.

Unlike most agencies that only manage the ad accounts, we have an in-house creative team that handles everything from static image ads and UGC to pre-sales landing pages.

‍This matters because creative is the single biggest lever in paid ad performance.

Outsourcing it to a client or a third party creates delays, misalignment, and inconsistency. Keeping it in-house means our creative strategy and media buying work as one joined-up system, built around what we know converts in your market.

How long is the contract?

We start with a 3 month initial contract.

This gives us enough time to build the foundations properly, test what works, and start delivering the results you're looking for.

After that, we move onto a rolling monthly basis.

No 6 or 12 month lock-ins. No small print keeping you with us longer than you want to be.

Once the initial period is up, our performance is what keeps clients here. Not the contract.

When will my campaigns be live?

Launch Timeline: 7–14 Days hile our onboarding process is efficient and streamlined, we never rush the foundational stage.

We dedicate this time to deep strategic planning and meticulous account building, because getting it right the first time is the key to long-term profitability.
‍

We've been burned by an agency before - why is Growf different?

We hear this a lot.

Most agencies take on any client, hand accounts to junior managers, and chase vanity metrics like ROAS that look good on a report but don't reflect real growth.

Growf only works with eCom brands, managed by senior paid media specialists only.

There are no juniors learning on your budget.

Our results are verified through video case studies rather than screenshots that can be manipulated, and we don't tie you into long contracts because our performance keeps you with us.

Who will actually be working on my account?

Every account is managed by a senior paid media specialist, never a junior.

You'll have a dedicated account manager supported by our in-house creative team for ads, UGC, and landing pages.

You'll meet your team on the onboarding call and have direct access to them every week.

What results can I realistically expect?

Every brand is different, so we won't throw out numbers without understanding your account first.

What we can tell you is that across our clients, we've consistently delivered nCAC reductions of 20-47% and new customer volume increases of up to 287%.

These results don't happen overnight. The first weeks are about laying the right foundations. Brands that see the biggest returns are the ones that give the strategy time to compound.

What you'll get from day one is full visibility through your custom tracking dashboard, so you can see exactly what's working and where your new customers are coming from.
