Question 1

Do you work with businesses outside Tennessee?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we serve clients nationally across 100+ vertical engagements.

Question 2

What size budget do I need to work with Advocate?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: it depends on your vertical, your market, and what 'qualified lead' means for your business. A modest local-services budget can move real numbers in the right niche; national eCommerce may need 10× that to matter. Our mission is that everyone who talks to Advocate leaves with a better next step than they walked in with — even if that next step isn't hiring us. For earlier-stage businesses, we're building a course that teaches the same methods we use internally, so there's a place for where you're at either way.

Question 3

Do you outsource your paid ad campaigns?

Accepted Answer

No. Paid media, creative, and reporting are handled in-house by our team. The one exception is the deepest technical SEO work, where we partner with a trusted specialist team — and we're upfront about that before you sign.

Question 4

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Paid media typically shows meaningful data within 30–60 days. SEO is a longer play — expect 3–6 months for meaningful movement. We set realistic expectations on the call.

Question 5

What does the guarantee actually cover?

Accepted Answer

The short version: qualified leads, or we cut you a check. In practice that means an agreed-upon spend floor, a minimum engagement (we don't do month-to-month — paid media needs room to work), and a definition of 'qualified' specific to your business. All of it's documented before we start, so there's no ambiguity on either side about what we owe you.

Question 6

Do I own my ad accounts and data?

Accepted Answer

Always. Your accounts, your data. We never hold accounts hostage.

Question 7

What's different about Advocate vs. a big agency?

Accepted Answer

Access and ownership. When you hire Advocate, Blake is running your campaigns — not briefing an account manager who briefs a media buyer. As we grow, that stays true: every account gets eyes from the strategist, not a handoff. You own your ad accounts, your data, and your creative. Always.
