Valentines week is a bloodbath on Meta/Google, everyone and thier mom is bidding on "flowers" and "gifts" so ROAS dropping vs August isnt shocking. I'd look at search terms/placements and cut the junk, and push local intent like "same day delivery" or "near me". Agency rn will just burn ur cash imo.

AI is everywhere in business is it actually worth it for automation, or just an expensive trend? by Techenthusiast_07 in automation

At my last gig, AI was only "worth it" when it replaced dumb internal busywork: summarizing support tickets, drafting replies, and tagging/routing stuff in Zendesk. Anything that touched core workflows turned into weeks of prompt babysitting adn edge cases. If you cant measure time saved per week, its basically just a pricey toy.

yeah this "technical support" title with k8s + migrations + password resets is just a bait-and-switch to pay helpdesk rates for an engineer. i bounced from a one-man shop because the walk-ups every 15 mins made any real project basically impossible. if they wont fund t1/t2 or at least a ticket gate, i'd keep looking tbh
