What does a qualified lead cost in the US?
Between $4 and $52 depending on the vertical: beauty $4–$12, tax services $7–$19, clinics $9–$24, realtors $11–$28, insurance $12–$34, contractors $14–$38, immigration and personal injury attorneys $18–$52 (Marketboost managed accounts, Q2 2026).
More detail →How much should a local business budget per month?
$1,500–$3,700 all-in: $700/month management plus $800–$3,000/month ad spend paid directly to Google and Meta. Below $1,200 total, focus on one channel done well.
How long before we see leads?
First qualified leads typically arrive within 14 days. CPL stabilizes between day 30 and 60, once campaigns have enough conversion volume to optimize against.
Should we run Spanish-language campaigns?
In almost every US metro, yes. Spanish inventory clears 25–40% cheaper than English for the same commercial intent, and Spanish-speaking leads convert on WhatsApp far more than on web forms. Never machine-translate: build parallel native campaigns.
More detail →Who owns the ad accounts and data?
You do. Google Ads, Meta, pixels, CRM, tracking numbers and analytics are created in your name, and you keep all history and creative if you leave.
Are there long-term contracts?
No. Month to month, with a monthly review call with founder André Autran.
Do you work with competing businesses in the same market?
No. One client per vertical per service area, so we never bid against our own accounts.
What does contractor marketing cost specifically?
$700/month management plus $800–$3,000 ad spend, at $14–$38 per qualified lead depending on trade and metro.
