X Ads Management Services

Turn relevant conversations on X into a well-run paid ad campaign.

We'll reply with a written proposal: the work, what we need from you and an estimated timeline.

The hidden problems

Fix the decisions that waste your X Ads budget before launch

A campaign can look ready while the account isn't allowed to run it, the audience is too broad, the ads can't be approved fast enough, the landing page is weak or the conversion tracking can't be trusted. We find those gaps before they turn into money spent that could have been saved.

  • The account isn't ready to launch

    Verification, account status, profile quality, your market, rules for restricted business types and payment details can block the planned campaign after work has already started.

  • The audience looks precise but isn't

    Keywords, topics and "people who follow these accounts" are treated as a sure sign someone wants to buy, even though they are shifting signals that need exclusions and a clear business reason.

  • Ads arrive too late, or go out without checks

    Fast-moving chances are missed, or claims go live without approved proof, usage rights, a landing page that matches and a clear person who can pause them.

  • Brand-safety settings give false comfort

    Placement, keyword and account exclusions are switched on without writing down which places they cover, what they can't prevent and how ad delivery will be reviewed.

  • Tracking data doesn't add up

    X Pixel and Conversion API events use different names, values or IDs, so double-counted and rejected actions skew the decisions made about your campaign.

  • The report stops at clicks

    Spend and the actions X credits to your ads are shown without checking whether leads were accepted, order value, how fast your team responded or whether a change was really caused by the campaign.

Exactly what's included

What our X Ads management services include

Softscotch checks whether your X ad account and campaign are ready, then builds the agreed audience, budget, ads, landing page and conversion tracking (recording the actions people take after a click). We launch with clear safeguards and report what your spend produced. You get the campaign build, proof of what went live, a log of every change and a report that separates activity on X from the leads, orders or revenue your own systems confirm, where they can provide them.

Eight areas of work take you from getting the account ready and planning the audience, through campaign setup, a carefully managed launch, tracking checks and brand-safety settings, to a useful report on performance and approved improvements for what comes next.

Account and policy readiness

We check the advertiser, the account, verification, markets, restricted business types, payment method and which campaign options are available before planning the launch.

Audience and exclusion plan

We turn what you know about your customers, plus keywords, topics, follower groups, locations and exclusions, into named audience tests, each with a reason to exist.

Campaign, budget and bidding setup

We set the goal, the conversion to track, campaign groups, budget, bidding approach, where ads appear, the schedule, names and limits for each approved test.

Ads and the approval process

We prepare the agreed opening lines (hooks), proof, ad formats and landing pages with clear versions, usage rights, review rounds, end dates and rules for pausing.

Landing page and conversion checks

We test the landing page path, forms, X Pixel or Conversion API events, tracking details in links, consent choices, click IDs, double counting and whether your own systems receive the lead.

Where ads appear and handling problems

We set the approved placements, keyword and account exclusions, spending safeguards, a review routine, who to call when something goes wrong and a person with the power to pause.

Report on real business results

We report spend, delivery, engagement and the actions X credits to your ads, next to accepted leads or orders, their value and the limits of any test, where your data supports it.

Ongoing improvements and next tests

We use what the campaign shows about audiences, ads, placements and landing pages to suggest specific changes and next tests for you to approve. We record every approved change and keep budget moves within the limits you set.

Why Softscotch

Move fast without losing control of your claims, spend or tracking

Softscotch links the live account, the reasons behind each audience, approved ads, the landing page, conversion tracking and feedback on lead quality, so every change has a clear reason and a named owner.

We check readiness before we build

The live account, payment, market and business-type status are checked before the plan assumes a campaign option is available to you.

Every audience has a reason

Each targeting choice keeps its date, the customer reason behind it, its exclusions and the conversion it is expected to support.

Fast ads still have someone accountable

Each ad version has approved proof, usage rights, a matching landing page, an end date or review point and someone allowed to pause it.

We are honest about brand-safety settings

The plan records which placement and "what your ad appears next to" settings apply, the reach you give up, known limits and the delivery checks that follow.

Tracking matches real business actions

Browser, server, X and CRM records are all tested against the same action, IDs, value and rules for removing duplicates.

The report helps you make the next decision

Delivery and the actions X credits to your ads are shown apart from lead or order quality, business value and any reliable test of the extra sales the ads truly caused.

Advanced work areas

The 36 decisions behind a well-run X ad campaign

The work covers getting the account ready, audiences and exclusions (people you choose not to reach), campaign structure, ads, where ads appear, brand safety, conversion tracking, launch, testing, spending pace, reporting and upkeep.

Scope and starting point
X Ads account auditReview the live account, permissions, billing, existing campaigns, audiences, ads, landing pages, tracking and reporting before deciding what can be reused safely.
Audience and conversation mapMap the customer evidence, topics, keywords, follower groups, locations and exclusions that can form clearly limited audience tests.
Fixing vague targetingGive every follower look-alike audience, keyword, interest, retargeting list and exclusion a named purpose, owner and review point.
Adding missing retargetingDecide which eligible visitors, people who engaged, video viewers, leads or customers need their own message, time window and rule for leaving them out.
Conversation mapRecord when a conversation in your industry is relevant, how quickly it may go stale and which claims or topics must be avoided.
Idea to test: is the demand really new?Set out the buyer, the action you want, a budget limit and the evidence needed before claiming the campaign created new demand rather than just catching people who would have bought anyway.
Inputs and tracking IDs
Website and app tracking that matchesUse the same action name, ID, value, permission status and duplicate rule across your website, server, app and the systems that receive leads.
Landing page reviewCheck that the landing page matches the ad, explains the offer and proof, works on mobile, lets people finish the form and records the agreed action.
Planning for timingPlan launch dates, event windows, approval deadlines and end-date rules, because an audience or message can lose relevance quickly on X.
Agreed rules for conversion trackingAgree conversion names, values, IDs, permission choices, duplicate rules and feedback from your CRM before X's automatic optimization relies on the data.
Platform and account setup
Conversations and follower groupsTreat topics, keywords, events and follower groups as signals that keep changing, then compare them with the real quality of customers they bring.
Campaign structureSplit campaigns only where website actions, leads, engagement, followers or retargeting really need different budgets, messages or decisions.
Retargeting setupBuild the agreed eligible audiences with set time windows, exclusions, rules for leaving people out and the order messages are shown in.
Rules for keeping campaigns separateSplit budget, market, product, audience or goal only when you truly need a separate control or a separate report for it.
Making and running the ads
Fast-moving ad productionSet up a fast approval route for timely ads, with approved sources, claim checks, version names, a matching landing page, an end date and someone allowed to pause.
Post and ad strategyChoose the proof, offer, format and next step for each stage of the audience, without turning campaign management into unlimited content production.
Adding proof to postsGive short ads enough checked proof, context and a matching landing page for a buyer to understand the offer and the next step to take.
Timing and launch planLink launches and key moments in your industry to deadlines for ads, claim approval, campaign dates, budget and a planned stop or review point.
Safety checks and testing
Brand safety and "what your ad appears next to" controlsRecord the chosen placements, keyword and account exclusions, the reach you give up, checks after ads run and who handles problems.
Tracking and pixel checksTest X Pixel or Conversion API events, tracking details in links, forms, click IDs, double counting, whether your CRM receives the lead and the values reported.
Connecting landing pages to the adsCheck that someone arriving from a fast-moving conversation can quickly understand the offer, the proof, any conditions and the next step.
Table of what automation can changeList which settings X may automatically optimize or widen, what stays fixed and who can approve or reverse an automatic change.
Improving and testing
Ad fatigue and news-cycle effectsCompare signs that people are tired of an ad with changes in the conversation, audience mix, placement and demand around events before replacing it.
Page improvementsSend a clear, itemized brief to the page owner for proof, offer match, mobile speed, form or sign-up path fixes that fall outside the agreed campaign changes.
Timing testsUse planned dates, fixed conversion definitions and rules agreed in advance when comparing the timing of launches, events or conversations.
Designing a fair testDefine the change, what it is compared against, the main measure, safety limits and a decision date before treating normal day-to-day ups and downs as evidence.
Measuring results and value
Reporting on quality after the clickMatch the actions X credits to your ads with accepted leads, orders, response, value or sales pipeline, where reliable data from your business is available.
Reporting beyond engagementShow you whether engagement reached the right landing page and produced business actions you accepted, not just likes, replies and other activity on X.
Weekly performance reportSum up spend, delivery, audiences, ads, landing pages, conversion quality, problems and the next carefully managed change.
Getting the most from your spendCompare the cost and value of the next dollar you spend with lead quality or profit data, instead of relying only on X's cost per action (CPA) or return on ad spend (ROAS).
Early signs and final resultsLabel early delivery and engagement signs separately from accepted leads, orders, value and any business result that takes longer to show up.
Ongoing ownership
Scaling what worksRaise the budget only when the reason for the audience, the supply of new ads, the landing page, the tracking and the evidence of lead quality are all still good enough.
Log of changes and lessonsRecord each change to budget, bids, audience, placement or ads with its reason, date, owner and what the review found.
Named owners for each jobName the people responsible for access, claims, ads, budget, launch, monitoring, replying to leads, handling problems and pausing.
Version and decision logKeep an easy-to-read history of each setting or ad that changed, the reason, who approved it, the evidence and the next decision.
Agreed response times for upkeepAgree how quickly owners will respond to rejected ads, billing holds, broken tracking, tired ads, unsafe surroundings or landing page failures.
Research and implementation tools

X Ads tools we use, chosen for your account and tracking plan

X Ads Manager, the X Pixel (a tracking code on your website), the X Conversion API (a direct server-to-X tracking link), analytics and CRM (customer records system) data are only added to the plan once account access, availability in your market, permission to use the data and technical fit are confirmed.

Look under the hood

Our X Ads audit: seven reviews that turn campaign risk into an agreed launch plan

Each review gives you a practical decision, the evidence behind it, the work still left to do, the check that closes it and the owner of anything still open.

Check 01 · Account and policy check

Is the account allowed and ready to advertise?

We confirm the advertiser's identity, account status, markets, restricted business types, payment, which campaign goals are available and X's current policy requirements.

The check ends with dated evidence, the cases we accept, limits we couldn't resolve and a named owner for the next step.

Proof proveCheck the advertiser profile, verification, account status, payment method, markets, language and any rules for restricted business types in the live account.
What we agree defineList the campaigns the account can run now, any advance approvals from X still needed and the person responsible for each decision.
How we set it up buildFix any profile, payment or access problems that block the campaign before the campaign structure or ad dates are approved.
If it goes wrong riskWrite down what happens if X rejects the account or an ad, pauses delivery, changes what is available or asks for more proof about the advertiser.
Final check sign-offThe readiness check passes only when the named owner can reach billing, build a campaign the account is allowed to run and send approved ads for X's review.
Next step decideYou receive a readiness decision, what is still needed, how to get support from X and the earliest sensible launch window.
Check 02 · Conversations and audience map

Which conversations and audiences are worth testing?

We turn keywords, topics, events, follower groups, exclusions and what you know about customers into clearly limited audience ideas to test.

The check ends with dated evidence, the cases we accept, limits we couldn't resolve and a named owner for the next step.

Aa
Proof proveStart with customer evidence, current conversations on X, how people use keywords, follower groups, locations and the quality of past leads or sales.
What we agree defineSet out the intended buyer, the campaign's purpose, the signals it may use, exclusions, how long people stay in the audience and why each audience may be useful.
How we set it up buildBuild the audience plan and the rules for leaving people out, so ads for new people, people who engaged and follow-up messages don't compete or repeat for no reason.
If it goes wrong riskPlan for targeting that isn't available, audiences that are too small, groups that overlap, limits on sensitive business types and conversations that stop being relevant.
Final check sign-offThe map passes when every audience has a live setting, an approved exclusion, a suitable message and an action on the landing page that can be measured.
Next step decideThe next decision names which audience launches first, what would rule it out and the date when the evidence will be reviewed.
Check 03 · Campaign and bidding setup

Is each campaign set up to do one clear job?

We set the goal, the action X should optimize for, budget, bids, where ads appear, the schedule, naming, rules for changes and the levels that trigger a decision.

The check ends with dated evidence, the cases we accept, limits we couldn't resolve and a named owner for the next step.

Proof proveReview the business goal, what a conversion is worth, budget, market, audience size, how many ads are available, whether the landing page is ready and past delivery.
What we agree defineGive each campaign one job, an approved conversion, a budget, a bidding approach, a choice of where ads appear, a schedule and a level that triggers a decision.
How we set it up buildBuild the named campaigns and ad groups with easy-to-read labels, one thing changed at a time, spending limits and an approved launch checklist.
If it goes wrong riskPrepare for ads not spending, spending too fast, a campaign goal that isn't available, overlapping audiences, rejected ads and a broken landing page.
Final check sign-offThe build passes when the settings match the approved plan, ad previews open correctly and the budget owner can check every live spending limit.
Next step decideYou receive the launch-ready setup, anything still blocking it, the warning levels we will watch and the person allowed to change spend.
Check 04 · Fast-moving ad production

Can timely ads go out quickly and still be checked?

We keep versions of approved opening lines, claims, formats and landing pages, with fast review, end dates, a way to correct them and rules for stopping them.

The check ends with dated evidence, the cases we accept, limits we couldn't resolve and a named owner for the next step.

Proof proveList approved claims, proof, usage rights, brand rules, formats, source files, landing pages and the dates until which each message stays current.
What we agree defineAgree which opening lines and formats go into the campaign, which changes need review and how quickly you can approve or reject them.
How we set it up buildPrepare named versions with matching landing pages, clear disclosures (such as "paid partnership"), end dates and an easy hand-over to the person running the account.
If it goes wrong riskSet a safe response for missing usage rights, claims without proof, out-of-date references to events, wrong web addresses and approvals that arrive after the moment has passed.
Final check sign-offAn ad passes when the approved version displays properly where it is meant to appear, the proof and landing page agree, and the person who can pause it can find it quickly.
Next step decideThe next list of ads to go out shows what is approved, what is waiting, what is about to expire and which new ads need a separate production budget.
Check 05 · Tracking and landing page checks

Does every click get tracked correctly, once?

We match up the X Pixel, the Conversion API, tracking details in links, consent, click IDs, landing page states, acceptance by your own systems and how duplicates are handled.

The check ends with dated evidence, the cases we accept, limits we couldn't resolve and a named owner for the next step.

Proof proveFollow the ad click through the landing page, the consent choice, the X Pixel or Conversion API signal, receipt by X and your own system that stores the lead or order.
What we agree defineAgree the business action, its tracking name, value, IDs, how click IDs are handled, permission status, the key used to remove duplicates and the rule for when your system accepts it.
How we set it up buildTest typical desktop and mobile journeys, then fix the agreed settings at campaign level or pass bigger technical work to the named person who owns it.
If it goes wrong riskCheck for blocked tracking tags, missing details, the same action counted by both browser and server, rejected signals, broken forms and leads that never arrive in your system.
Final check sign-offThe journey passes when one test action reaches each expected system exactly once, with the approved name, value and IDs.
Next step decideYou receive proof from the tests, data limits we couldn't fix, monitoring checks and a clear line showing which wider analytics or technical work is separate.
Check 06 · Brand safety and problem handling

Do you know where your ads can appear, and what happens if something goes wrong?

We record placement choices, keyword and account (handle) exclusions, their limits, checks after ads run and who handles problems.

The check ends with dated evidence, the cases we accept, limits we couldn't resolve and a named owner for the next step.

Proof proveReview the planned placements, how much brand risk you can accept, sensitive topics, blocked keywords and accounts, risks in certain locations and what measurement is available.
What we agree defineRecord which X placement and "what your ad appears next to" settings apply, whether they are set for the whole account or one campaign, their known limits and your decision behind them.
How we set it up buildApply the approved exclusions, save proof of the settings and give the person running the account a checklist for problems and who to call.
If it goes wrong riskPlan for ads shown in unsuitable places, exclusions that don't cover every part of X, sensitive news events, outside brand-safety measurement that isn't available and urgent pauses you ask for.
Final check sign-offThe review passes when the settings match the risk level you signed off and the named owner can check, escalate and pause delivery.
Next step decideYou receive the settings applied, the risk that remains, how often we review, where the evidence comes from and who to contact about problems. No brand-safety setting is a guarantee.
Check 07 · Report on real results

What did the spend really produce?

We keep spend, ad delivery, engagement, the actions X credits to your ads, results you accept, money figures and proof from proper tests apart.

The check ends with dated evidence, the cases we accept, limits we couldn't resolve and a named owner for the next step.

Proof proveCollect spend, ad delivery, ad and audience data, what people did on the landing page, actions X credits to your ads and accepted leads or orders for the same period.
What we agree defineDefine the source, what each number is divided by, the time window for crediting results, exclusions, delays and the rule for when your business accepts a result, for every number in the report.
How we set it up buildMatch X's reported actions with whatever data you have available, then label simple observations separately from evidence from fair, controlled comparisons.
If it goes wrong riskShow gaps in the data, results that arrive late, duplicate records, rejected leads, corrected values and periods where X's crediting can't support a decision.
Final check sign-offThe report passes when the figures can be rebuilt from named sources and you can tell apart spend, delivery, credited actions, lead quality and value.
Next step decideThe report ends with the approved budget or campaign action, the evidence behind it and the date the decision will be checked again.

What to expect

How long X Ads setup takes: from account checks to a carefully managed first launch

The first campaign can usually be ready to launch within the first working week, once we have full access, an account that is allowed to advertise, payment details, a budget, approved claims and ads, a working landing page, agreed conversion tracking and your go-ahead. X's ad review or missing pieces can make it take longer.

How we compare

How we compare: a well-run paid ads program, not last-minute boosting of posts

Softscotch links every campaign decision to approved inputs, the live settings, checked landing pages, proof from conversion tracking and a next step that someone owns.

The risk of using a different agency for everything
  • Starts with a generic to-do list
  • Treats having access to the account as being ready to launch
  • Mixes up signs of activity with real results
  • Hides guesses about usage rights, disclosures or eligibility
  • Changes several things at once, so no one knows what worked
  • Counts ad approval or delivery as value to customers
  • Never tests what happens when something fails
  • Uses blended averages without any context
  • Stops at handing over files or a dashboard
  • Promises results that are outside its control
vs
Softscotch
  • Starts with the decision your customer needs to make
  • Checks evidence, usage rights, eligibility and access
  • Keeps ad production, delivery and business results apart
  • Keeps claims, permissions and disclosures clear and written down
  • Saves each change as a version so results can be understood
  • Checks delivery against results your systems actually accept
  • Tests what happens when things fail, and how to recover
  • Keeps the context of format, audience and market in every number
  • Ends with a next decision that someone owns
  • Refuses to make guarantees it can't back up

Ethical, transparent, always on

One accountable team, strictly white-hat (only methods search engines and platforms allow), no shortcuts and no surprises. Support whenever you need it.

One plan, full-stack access

One Softscotch plan gives you access to the full service stack, coordinated around your priorities.

You do not need a separate agency or retainer for every channel. Your plan can draw from search, paid media, web, ecommerce, outreach, automation, lead generation, messaging, content, creative and operations. The agreed scope sets what is active, in what order and at what capacity.

Pricing approach

One price for everything, not a stack of separate retainers.

You get one price for your whole marketing, not a separate retainer for every service. SEO, paid ads, your website, automations, cold email and newsletters, we run all of it as a single scope, so you get the most result for what you pay. Agencies sell each of these on its own, so the invoice climbs whether or not that line drives a single lead.

Bought separately, service by service

A different agency or retainer for each service. The bill stacks up fast, and keeps climbing whether or not each one moves a single lead.

Local SEO+$750–1,500/mo
Programmatic SEO+$1,000–2,500/mo

WordPress build & setup+$2,500–6,000 once
10 separate services$12,750–23,500/mo

Plus the one-off build, and a fresh contract, kickoff and onboarding delay for every new service you add.

All of it, one scope

We run your whole marketing as one engagement, so you get the most result for what you pay, not a pile of disconnected invoices.

  • SEO: technical, on-page, content, local and AI search
  • Template-built pages (programmatic SEO), links from other websites (backlinks) and authority
  • CRO and landing pages
  • Paid ads across Google and Meta
  • Automations, cold email and newsletters
  • WordPress build, setup and ongoing care
  • One team, one roadmap and one point of contact
  • Reporting tied to qualified leads and revenue

Questions, answered

X Ads management FAQs: questions to ask before you start

These answers cover account readiness, what is included, access, timing, your approvals, ad spend, work that is separate, the limits of tracking and what Softscotch can't guarantee.

Filter
What is included in X Ads management?

The agreed scope can include getting the account and policies ready, planning audiences and exclusions, campaign and budget setup, planning which ads go out, landing page and conversion checks, settings for where ads appear, a carefully managed launch, spending pace and a report on lead and sales quality, and approved improvements and next tests. Your proposal names the accounts, markets, goals, deliverables and owners included.

When is X Ads management a good fit?

It fits when the people you want to reach take part in relevant conversations on X, your business can approve ads and reply to people quickly, and you have an account that is allowed to advertise, believable ads and business actions after the click that can be measured.

What access is needed for X Ads management?

We need user roles in X Ads, your account and billing status, your market and business type, proof for your offer and claims, audience inputs, ad source files, landing pages, your tracking setup, what counts as a lead or sale in your systems, and named people who approve and pause ads.

Which eligibility or distribution conditions do you verify for X Ads management?

Before promising a setup plan, we check the live account, the advertiser's identity, payment, your market, the campaign goal, ad formats, rules for restricted business types and which tracking options are available.

How do consent, rights and disclosures affect X Ads management?

The X Pixel, Conversion API, app, CRM and audience data can involve personal identifiers and privacy duties that differ by country. You approve the legal basis for using the data, privacy notices, supplier terms and any limits on sensitive data.

What evidence do you capture before changing X Ads management?

We record eligibility, policy and ad review status, the reasons behind each audience, campaign settings, ad versions, settings for what your ads appear next to, Pixel and server tracking, landing page status, acceptance by your systems and logs of decisions.

How do you measure X Ads management?

Reporting can cover account and policy status, ad delivery and spend, results by ad and conversation, tracking that matches your records, ads linked to good-quality results, decisions and evidence of extra sales the ads truly caused. Every number keeps its source, what it is divided by, its time window, exclusions, owner and limits.

Does an approved asset, delivered impression or attributed action prove business value?

No. An approved ad, an ad shown, clicks, actions on your site, actions X credits to your ads, results your business accepts and extra sales the ads truly caused are all different things, each with different evidence.

How do you keep observations separate from experiments?

Trends and before-and-after changes are only observations. To claim one approach beat another, you need a clearly defined change, fixed tracking rules, a fair split or comparison group, safety limits and a plan for analyzing the results.

Do you implement the approved X Ads management work?

Yes, within the written scope. Softscotch creates or sets up the approved work, coordinates the named outside dependencies and checks what went live. Related specialist work keeps its own owner.

Where do humans stay in control of X Ads management?

People approve claims, sensitive topics, ads, exclusions, budgets, customer data, landing page changes, problem handling and pauses. Automation can help with monitoring and bidding, but it never gets unlimited power to publish.

Can you guarantee a result from X Ads management?

No. Softscotch is responsible for the agreed planning, setup, checks, launch safeguards and reporting, but X and the market control eligibility, ad review, how ads are delivered in the auction and how people respond. We don't guarantee approval, placement, what your ads appear next to, impressions, clicks, conversions, leads, sales, cost per action (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), revenue or extra sales.

How long does the first X Ads management cycle take?

The first campaign can usually be ready to launch within the first working week, once we have full access, an account that is allowed to advertise, payment details, a budget, approved claims and ads, a working landing page, conversion tracking and your go-ahead. X's review or missing pieces can make it take longer, and a useful report on what you've learned usually needs two to four weeks of live ads.

How is X Ads management priced?

Pricing depends on the number of accounts, markets, campaign goals, audiences, ad versions, landing pages, tracking connections, launch support and how often we report. Ad spend, ad production, software, data, independent measurement and other outside costs are separate unless they are listed in your proposal.

Does Softscotch provide legal approval for X Ads management?

No. Softscotch applies the written controls for platform rules, usage rights, privacy, accessibility, disclosures and claims, while you and qualified lawyers keep the legal decisions and the final approval for each market.

Which work sits outside X Ads management?

Regular (unpaid) X posting, community management, influencer work, large ad or video production, building landing pages, wide analytics or Conversion API technical work, fixing your CRM, data suppliers and legal or specialist review are all separate unless listed in your proposal.

How are source material, personal data and credentials handled for X Ads management?

The access plan uses approved sources, only the access each person needs, named owners, limits on how long data is kept and steps for removing access. You approve data roles, the legal basis for using data, licenses, supplier terms and limits on sensitive data.

What happens after the first X Ads management release?

The handover records the live settings, approved versions, finished checks, open risks, monitoring, who handles problems and the next budget or campaign decision. Ongoing management can then refresh audiences and ads, review spending pace and lead quality, and respond to changes in policy or delivery, as often as agreed.
