How Markestic works
What is a profit partner? Isn't that just a slogan?
No. It's not an empty promise but a named methodology (the Profit Engine). We don't chase clicks and reach, but profit, return and measurable business results, under a shared measurement and budget logic.
Why don't you just call yourselves a marketing agency?
We started out as a performance marketing agency, but today we work as a Profit & Growth Partner. The difference isn't wordplay: we don't sell services, we're accountable for growth you can see in your numbers.
Which channel is right for me: Google Ads, SEO or social media?
It depends on your goals, your market and your customer journey. We don't sell a single channel, we build the channel mix that fits your profit goal, and it's often the diagnosis that reveals where the biggest return sits.
How long until I see results?
It depends on the channel and your starting point. The diagnosis and quick wins show within days; stable, predictable growth typically builds over a few months. The diagnosis exists precisely so we don't start by burning budget.
How do we start, and what does it cost?
How can I try it risk-free?
Start with a free self-audit or a low-risk Profit Diagnosis, you get a concrete output with no obligation to continue. See the overview on the entry products page.
Which package should I choose?
Quick direction → Growth Roadmap Consultation (HUF 37,000). One specific channel → Channel Audit (HUF 47,000). Several channels, the full picture → Profit & Growth Audit (HUF 97,000). Team-tailored, joint planning → Tailored Growth Workshop (HUF 390,000).
Is this a sales call?
No. These are paid services with a concrete output. If we see room for further collaboration we'll say so, but there's no obligation to continue, you can move on with us, with someone else, or on your own.
How does payment work? Is there a performance-based model?
The entry services are fixed, one-off fees. Longer engagements are typically monthly, and in some cases part of the fee can be tied to the business results achieved, which we shape together. No serious agency can responsibly promise a specific financial result, but we reverse the risk (see the Guarantee).
Is it worth starting with a smaller budget?
The honest answer: it depends. In a free audit or diagnosis we'll tell you whether there's enough room for a return right now, instead of selling you something at all costs.
How soon do I get the result?
Growth Roadmap Consultation: everything within about a week. Channel Audit: two to three working days. Profit & Growth Audit: about a week once the information has arrived.
What can you expect?
Do I need an immediate commitment or a long-term contract?
No. You can start with a quick self-audit or a Profit Diagnosis, and we only go further if it's worth it for both of us.
What does onboarding look like, and how long until we're live?
We align briefly, request the necessary access and information, then start based on the diagnosis or plan. We set the exact timeline at the beginning, the goal is a fast but well-founded launch, without wasted spend.
Who will be my contact? Will I work with a dedicated specialist?
Yes. AI speeds up the work for us, but decisions and communication are led by people: a dedicated specialist works on your account, and you coordinate with them directly.
What if I already have an agency?
An external, profit-focused audit is still useful, it shows where the untapped potential is, with no pressure to decide. You can take the recommendations to your own team or your current agency.
Do you have experience in my industry? Do you work with international clients?
Over the past years we've managed several billion HUF in ad spend across many sectors, on domestic and international markets, including campaigns running in multiple languages. The methodology is industry-agnostic, but in the diagnosis we always tailor it to your market. See our references.
What do you guarantee?
No serious agency can responsibly promise a specific financial result, but we reverse the risk: a risk-free first step, and if you're not happy with our work, we refund the fee in full. See the details on the Guarantee page.
What if I only need execution?
We'll do that too, but the execution is still driven by the profit goal. The strategic layer isn't an upsell, it's what makes the result better and more predictable.
Data, measurement and artificial intelligence
How and how often do I get reports on the results?
We provide a transparent, real-time report updated within the day, where you always see where the money goes and what it produces, in profit, not vanity metrics. We tailor the frequency and format to your needs at the start.
What metrics do you look at, and how do I know it really drives profit?
We don't look at clicks or reach, but at return: ROAS, CAC, conversion rate, and ultimately profit. The first step is often to fix measurement itself, so the numbers truly reflect business results.
Do I need to give access to my accounts / analytics?
It depends on the package. For auditing a specific account, probably yes; in many cases an export, screenshot or report is enough. We agree in advance and sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Are my budget and data safe?
Yes. We don't ask for unnecessary access, we sign a non-disclosure agreement, and you see where the money goes and what it produces in a transparent, real-time report.
Do you work with AI? Isn't AI content enough on its own?
We work in an AI-first but human-led way: where possible, AI speeds up analysis and preparation, but strategic decisions are made by experienced specialists. AI alone isn't a strategy, it just speeds up good decisions.
Questions about specific channels
Is there a minimum ad budget for Google Ads?
There's no hard limit, but Google Ads truly pays off when there's enough data to learn from. In the Channel Audit we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it right now.
Do you take over my existing account or build a new one?
It depends on what the account shows. Often a rebuild delivers the biggest jump, but only if the audit backs it up.
Which social platform is right for me?
It depends on your audience and goals: Meta (Facebook, Instagram) for the largest reach and targeting, TikTok for younger, creative-led attention, LinkedIn for B2B decision-makers. We clarify this together in the diagnosis.
Do you write the SEO and ad copy with AI?
We use AI as a tool to speed things up, but every piece of copy is produced under human control and the brand voice, so it actually converts, not just "shows up".
