Budgets vary by industry, competition, and lead goals. We recommend a budget that supports meaningful data collection and stable delivery, then we scale based on performance and capacity. The right number depends on your cost-per-lead reality and margins. For the avoidance of doubt, we can provide ACCURATE estimates and then refine that number once campaigns are activated and optimized.
