Most advice on Apple Search Ads starts with the same lazy take: high intent in, installs out, job done. That's how people waste money.

Most Reddit ads advice is too polite. It treats targeting like a menu of neat little options you can mix and match until growth appears. That's cute. It's also how you end up paying for a lot of impressions from people who can smell lazy advertising from a mile away. Reddit isn't hard because the […]

Your traffic has flattened. Your organic team says “content takes time.” Your sales team wants better leads yesterday. Meanwhile, your last agency sent a pretty dashboard, spent your money, and called a spike in clicks “momentum.” That's usually when founders start shopping for a paid ads specialist. Fair.

You open Meta Ads Manager or Google Ads, see a dashboard full of green arrows, healthy-looking CTR, maybe a decent pile of clicks, and for a brief moment you think, “Nice.
