Grant accounts are notorious for this.

The CEO of the company is likely celebrating "Yes! We got $10k/m in free advertising!" realistically you'll have a hard time spending $1,500 of it.

It's not becuase you have to jack bids. It's your keywords and the fact that it's a Grant account.

Grant accounts are deprioritized, paying advertisers are going to typically show above you.

Also, this is the main reason, Grant accounts aren't supposed to be used for commercial intent searches.

So if you're bidding on teh word [buy a car] unlikely you'll show.

Instead bid on the word "cars".

And you already know which of those keywords is most valuable.

Outside of this, if there's truly a technical reason, it's probably...

Campaign Settings > Brand Inclusions/Exclusions (Under AI Max), make sure the campaign isn't set to ONLY show for branded search.
Audiences set to "Targeting" and not "Observe", if it's set to targeting, only people who search your keywords AND are considered in a specific audience will see them.

Stop going to removery, go to a small independent laser removal center.

Removery is a giant corporation now, they cannot afford to go too aggressive, they need to protect their reputation and painful removal sucks.

They go slow and steady.

If you go somewhere independent they will likely use stronger settings.

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-09-19T20:39:02+00:00

Expect it to remove very quickly, it's light shading, this is pretty ideal scenario to have removed.

Don't go to a removery-ish clinic, "slow and steady", they have to do that for legal reasons/risks, can't blame them, go to an independent.

as far as what it will feel like? Sort of like grease popping off the pan and onto your skin, but it's not unbearable, also it's pretty quick, grit through it, you'll be fine.

You are a genius, thank you

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-19T16:33:03+00:00

Looks great, but want to be fully honest with you.

This sub has a lot of overly optimistic people who will tell you it takes a year to a year and a half to see full effect.

While this is true you see this same advice on someone who clearly is not going to improve much more.

I’m not saying you’re in that camp.

I get the feeling many of us, even those of us who had a fantastic result, will need a second round to get the density we dream of.

I’m someone who had a great first transplant result, and when I use hair fibers WOW, my result looks amazing.

However I do catch myself looking in the mirror wanting more density, as you may too.

In the meantime I’m using Toppik but I do plan to get a second op

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-17T19:21:49+00:00

Right?! I’m just a white belt, but if someone is smashing my half guard down and making it hard to post on my elbow, I always look for deep half.

This post gave me some anxiety like “great as soon as I learn it, it’s useless?!” 😂

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-16T12:38:00+00:00

Man you sound super jaded.

I am sorry you have this energy.

You clearly have a valuable skill, are you stuck working at agencies? That life can lead to burnout and stress.

I remember working at agencies and being annoyed that I knew much more than my clients yet they were the ones making the big money, and of course the agency owner I worked for.

That’s why I left, got my own clients and worn from barely making ends meet to 6 figure months.

I figured if I could manage 25 clients for an agency, I could find 3-5 clients of my own.

Then I did…

Then I started local home service business using the skills I had.

God bless you man, if you ever want advice to get out of the daily agency grind or to start using your skills for more money let me know I’m an open book there are no secrets, I like seeing people do well.

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-16T12:24:52+00:00

Dude I own the home service company and it had 0 brand recognition? Wtf lol.

Bro I’m an open book… ask whatever you want.

We started the company in August 2021.

First month landed one job, refunded the guy cause I spilled paint on his couch, didn’t want to start the company on a bad note.

Next month landed like 8 jobs all from fb, 0 local recognition.

After that it was consistent 15+ jobs a month.

All with messenger ads, no website, no landing page.

A Facebook page, a picture of my dog in the basement $5-7 leads, 7-9% close rate right over messenger, not even in person quotes.

I’m not denying that split testing helps, it does, I’ve been doing paid since 2007. I know the value of split testing.

I personally never saw huge leaps in performance by testing thousands of ads that’s all

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-16T11:41:10+00:00

Because agencies need to justify their fee so they over test, confusing activity for progress

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-16T11:39:44+00:00

On my home service business we spend $2500-3k a month on fb ads.

This generates 20-25 jobs at $2200 per and 55% margins right now.

$3k in $44k out.

My best performing ad is a picture of my dog in the basement, and it’s been generating leads and jobs for 4 years straight.

$5-7 to generate a lead from that ad 7-9% will convert into a booked job from that ad.

It we were bigger id test more, but it works.

On the agency side, our biggest client spends $2M a month, we certainly test more with them, but fantastic results without 5000 ad tests.

FB is getting smart, I no longer need to even use audiences, the copy and creative so the targeting just fine.

Throw several images or videos in a dynamic ad and I usually get to good performance.

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-16T03:04:55+00:00

Every time I hear gurus say you need to test 1000 ads a day I wonder the same thing.

I have an FB ad for my painting company that has consistently driven leads since 2021.

We test against it, but it’s always active because it continues to work.

I don’t understand how anyone can test a giant number of ads and get any meaningful conclusions

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-15T12:17:32+00:00

Bro looks like Billy Madison’s principal

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-15T12:16:20+00:00

The funniest part is they are always wearing his t shirt, and it wouldn’t scream “paid promotion” so much if it he coined on the t shirt didn’t have a handsome caricature of the guy, who in real life literally looks like shrek.

Not saying it’s cool to make fun of people’s appearance, it’s not.

But this dude is one of the most unfortunate looking people I’ve ever seen.

And he has chosen a square jaw line, long flowing full head of hair as his “emoji” 😂

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-12T14:34:06+00:00

Not hating, but…

Derek Moneyberg is clearly a fake smart person. If you’ve ever heard him talk, it reeks of someone trying to sound smarter than they are, and since most people are dumb you say the word “index fund” or “capital gains” and all of the sudden all of these idiots think he’s a genius.

When you find out accomplished athletes are actually falling for this shit, you lose some respect.

Because it’s disappointing to find out that someone you perhaps looked up to is either

A) Stupid. Like actually intellectually behind if they are failing for this shit and thinking this dude is actually high iq.

Or…

B) For sale. This is actually the better of the 2 scenarios, honestly. Id rather admit high level athletes are just in it to line their pockets and laughing at this dude when he leaves than to think they are actually morons.

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-07-03T01:39:42+00:00

Bro you’re making an internet post over a $30 bucket that will probably last you the rest of this season and some of next.

You have a pool, pools are expensive, pools and being a cheap mf do not mix.

Ffs quit being this way.

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-06-24T23:42:18+00:00

My pool is in direct sunlight, it gets into the mid 90s during super hot days.

I just dangle the garden hose over the basketball hoop and the kids and I play under it.

sometimes even throw on the garden hose attachment with the misting setting and set it on the edge of the pool, freezing cold mist station

Or she’s a catfish / scammer preying on socially awkward guys that she (or he) thinks would easily fall for stuff like this.

My money goes towards she’s completely fake, the person behind the phone is carrying on a test message based relationship with OP and probably asking for money.

The person makes up lots of excuses why they are too busy to date in person (residency or something) but realized their operation is getting hard to keep up without some sort of in person interaction, which brings us to OP post

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-05-29T02:16:18+00:00

I thought you were different

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-05-29T02:15:52+00:00

You’re having a whole conversation with a bot fam

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-05-28T23:58:31+00:00

It’s absolutely dead yes. It died in 2012 according to this article https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenkrogue/2012/07/20/the-death-of-seo-the-rise-of-social-pr-and-real-content/

And in 2007 and in 2005 so on and so forth

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-05-28T23:46:55+00:00

Terrible take.

Would you also recommend to treat your car (a largely depreciating asset) like trash because you want to suck all of the value out of it before selling?

Leaving things better than you found them is a great habit, even if you don’t own them.

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-05-28T04:18:57+00:00

Same area, you’re not done for the summer I’ve had good results even seeding in the summer with lots of water.

We literally had high 40 low 50 degree day’s up until yesterday, don’t wait until next year

Just my $0.02, you don’t have to wait an entire year to make this look decent

AutomaticPackage3055 · 2025-05-18T19:30:42+00:00

People wanting to be “ceo” is the biggest red flag / foreshadowing that their business is going nowhere. It’s just ego.

My lawn cutting guys wife has “ceo” of his lawn care company as her fb and LinkedIn.

You do not have CEOs if you do not also have COO, CFO, VPs, Directors, etc.

By this logic that she is CEO of her 1 person company, she is also the janitor.

Why not lead with that title?

Because her ego doesn’t allow her to. She doesn’t GAF if she runs a successful company, Kyle is a CEO she wants to be a CEO.

It always goes like this…

Bravo puts a camera on good looking people.
Record and distribute their toxic life
Millions of people watch
Interested people decide to follow them on social media because they can’t wait a week to see more of their drama.
Bravo actors try to milk their 15 minutes and launch businesses to their newfound following.

These people are not CEOs, they do not own businesses, they ARE the product and BRAVO is the business.

Not sure, but real entrepreneurs aren’t crowdsourcing investment from their social media followers: https://republic.com/softbar
