How a project actually comes together
No 12-week onboarding, no committee of account managers. Here's what happens, in order, once you book a consultation.
Discover — first 3–5 days
We audit what's already there: your Google Business Profile, your website, your current ads (if any), and whatever tracking exists. For most local businesses, this is the first time anyone has looked at all of it together instead of one channel at a time.
Plan — within a week of the audit
You get a written plan scoped to what your business actually needs — not a template package. If you only need Google Ads and a Business Profile cleanup, that's the plan. We don't upsell channels you don't need yet.
Build — typically 2–4 weeks
Campaigns, site work, and automations get built as one connected system by the same team — so your ads, your site, and your follow-up are never working from different assumptions about your business.
Launch & Optimize — ongoing
Once it's live, we report in plain language — calls, bookings, and cost per lead, not just impressions — and keep adjusting. Most accounts see their first real signal within 3–4 weeks of launch.
What to expect before you start
No. Marcel Films runs month-to-month. We'd rather earn the renewal every month than lock you into a term that protects us more than it protects you.
Access to your Google Business Profile and website (if one exists), and roughly 30 minutes for the discovery call. If you don't have a website or profile yet, that's fine too — that becomes part of the plan.
It depends on the channel — paid ads usually show early signal within the first few weeks, while SEO and AI search visibility build over 2–3 months. We'll tell you honestly which is which for your plan, not blend them into one vague timeline.
The same small team that plans your account also builds and runs it — no handoff to a separate production team you never talk to.
