Measure

Server-side conversion events, SKAN values mapped to revenue and no double counting, so the ad platform can see who pays.

Convert and keep

Deep links, store pages, paywalls, failed payments, refunds and pricing by country, so paid users stay paid.

Spend

Campaign structure, bids, placements and fresh creative every month, so the budget goes where it works.

We have built this tracking on our own iOS apps: server-side Meta, TikTok and Reddit conversion events, SKAdNetwork values and Firebase events in Google Ads. See the 18-point Revenue Leak Audit for the full checklist and the evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Who gets a free sample ad?+

Apps and brands spending US$1,000 or more a month on ads, or making US$5,000 or more a month. Book a 15-minute call and after it we make one sample ad for your product. You approve the script first and keep the file. Not there yet? We send you ready-made samples from products like yours.

Will AI get my product details right?+

AI visuals can miss details. You check every video against your real product and flag anything wrong, and we fix it within the approved brief.

Can you show my product being used?+

Tell us which action or feature must be shown when you send your link. A presenter explanation and a hands-on demonstration are different formats. We confirm whether your required demonstration is feasible before production.

Will it look and sound right for my brand?+

Watch the sample to judge the face, voice, delivery and product visuals. Share your brand preferences with the product link and approve the script before production. You can evaluate the finished sample before choosing a paid plan.

Is the presenter a real customer?+

No. The presenter is AI. We never present it as a real customer, patient, parent or donor, or invent personal experiences. Use real customer material when genuine testimonials are needed.

Do I need to film, ship anything or learn AI tools?+

No filming or shipping is required to start, and we handle the AI tools and editing. Send your product page and any existing materials that explain it accurately. Your role is to review the script and finished video.

What do the three hook versions include?+

On the Growth plan, every base video comes in three versions with different opening hooks. That is 20 base videos and 60 delivered versions a month, with competitor research refreshed monthly. The Scale plan includes 40 videos a month, refreshed every two weeks from your campaign results.

What does the revision round cover?+

Starter and Growth include one revision round per base video, covering all its hook versions. Each round is one consolidated feedback list covering captions, pacing, cuts and edits within the approved brief. New concepts, replacement scripts or new presenters are quoted separately. Mistakes against the approved brief are corrected free and do not use your revision allowance.

Will these ads outperform my current ads?+

We do not guarantee sales, CPA or ROAS. The samples show production quality, not campaign performance. Your offer, audience and landing page affect results. Start with a small test against your existing creative and judge the business outcome.

Do you manage my ad account or testing?+

On the Scale plan, yes. We run your campaigns on Meta, TikTok, Google and Apple Search Ads, set up tracking and test creative from your results. You keep ownership of your ad accounts and pay ad spend directly to the platforms. We charge no percentage of spend. On Starter and Growth, you or your media buyer run the campaigns.

What is the Revenue Leak Audit?+

An 18-point check of where your ad money is lost, from tracking and attribution to paywalls, failed payments and refunds. It costs US$490 one-off, arrives in 7 business days and comes off your first month if you sign up for a plan. If we can't find three leaks worth fixing, we refund it. See the checklist.

Can I use the videos in paid ads?+

Yes. You receive video files for your campaigns. Review product claims and follow the platform requirements, including AI disclosure where required, before publishing.

When will my sample arrive?+

Within 3 business days after the call, once you approve the script and send the assets we need.
