FAQ

Questions Before Reaching Out?

Everything you need to know before we work together — answered honestly and upfront.

What exactly do you do?

I'm a full-stack digital marketing specialist based in Calicut, Kerala. I help brands grow online through SEO, Google Ads, Meta & social media advertising, email marketing, and content strategy. I don't just run campaigns — I act as an embedded growth partner, combining data analysis with creative storytelling to build real, lasting brand equity.

Who do you typically work with?

My clients range from early-stage startups to established SMEs across industries including real estate, EdTech, e-commerce, health & wellness, professional services, and F&B. If you're looking to build a meaningful digital presence or scale an existing one, we're likely a good fit — I'll always tell you honestly if we're not.

What kind of results can I expect?

Results depend on the channel and starting point, but here's a realistic picture: Paid ads can show measurable traction within 2–4 weeks. SEO builds over 3–6 months and compounds over time. Email delivers from the first campaign. I'm transparent about timelines from day one — and across 40+ campaigns, clients have seen average cost-per-lead drops of 30–40% within the first quarter.

How does your pricing work?

I work on a fixed monthly retainer — no percentage-of-spend fees, no surprises. The rate depends on the channels involved, deliverables, and ad budget managed. You'll receive a fully itemised proposal after our free discovery call so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.

Do you require a long-term contract?

I start with a 3-month minimum because meaningful results take time to build — locking in results after week two is rarely the real picture. After that, we move to month-to-month with 30 days' notice on either side. I'd rather earn your continued partnership through results than hold you to a contract.

Will I always own my accounts and data?

Always. I work inside your own ad accounts, GA4, Search Console, and every platform we use together — never in shadow accounts you can't access. Full transparency is non-negotiable. If we ever part ways, every asset, audience, and insight stays with you. Your data is yours.

How do you keep me in the loop?

Every client gets a weekly update, a live Looker Studio dashboard they can check anytime, and a monthly strategy call. I'm also reachable via email and WhatsApp during business hours. No chasing, no guessing — you'll always know what's running, what's working, and what we're adjusting next.

  • Weekly written performance update
  • Real-time Looker Studio dashboard
  • Monthly strategy call
How do I get started?

It's simple — send me a message or fill in the contact form on this page. I reply within 4 business hours. If there's a potential fit, we'll book a free 30-minute discovery call. I'll then put together a tailored proposal within 48 hours, and if you're happy, we kick off.

  • Step 1 — Message me or fill the form
  • Step 2 — Free 30-min discovery call
  • Step 3 — Custom proposal in 48 hours
  • Step 4 — Kick-off & we get to work
