Reporting and proof

Numbers, and where to check them.

CurrentAds is early, so we are not going to hand you a folder of case studies with the names removed. There is one published engagement, and it comes with the disclosure that explains what it is and what it is not. Then the more useful version: exactly what we report across paid media, SEO, AI search, maps, reviews, and lifecycle, and exactly where you verify every one of those numbers yourself. You own the accounts, so you never have to take our reporting on faith.

The one engagement we can show you

Read this before the numbers

CurrentAds has no paying clients yet. The engagement below is with a company under common ownership with CurrentAds, published anonymised for that reason. No revenue increase is attributable to the work, and none is claimed. Read it as a first-party build, not an arm's-length client result.

What it does show is the work and the measurement. Every number names the system it came from, so it can be opened and checked, and it carries a section on what did not work.

Verify it yourself

Every number has a second source

Because every account, property, and profile is registered to your business from day one, our reporting is never the only copy of the truth. For each metric below, the right hand column is the source you can open without us, on any day, and compare.

  • Ad spend and cost per lead

    What we report

    Live portal, updated daily, with a weekly written summary of what changed.

    Where you check it

    Your own Google Ads and Meta Ads Manager accounts. Both are registered to your business, so you can pull the same date range and compare line by line.

  • Conversions and events

    What we report

    Portal conversion view, with the event names and deduplication rules documented.

    Where you check it

    Your GA4 property and your CRM. We reconcile platform-reported conversions against your CRM records, and you can run that comparison yourself at any time.

  • Calls and booked jobs

    What we report

    Call tracking dashboard: volume, source, duration, and recordings where enabled.

    Where you check it

    Your call log and your booking or intake system. Every tracked number forwards to your line, so nothing sits behind our access.

  • Organic rankings, clicks, and impressions

    What we report

    Rank tracking and organic performance in the portal, by keyword and by page.

    Where you check it

    Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools on your own property. Those are the primary sources, and we do not sit between you and them.

  • Map pack and Google Business Profile

    What we report

    Local rank grid by location, profile actions, direction requests, and profile calls.

    Where you check it

    Your Google Business Profile performance tab, and searching your own service terms from inside your service area.

  • AI search citations

    What we report

    A citation log showing which assistants named your business, for which prompts, and on which date.

    Where you check it

    Ask the assistants yourself. We publish the exact prompts used, so you can run them in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, or Copilot and see what comes back.

  • Reviews and reputation

    What we report

    Review volume, average rating, response time, and the queue of requests sent.

    Where you check it

    Your public profiles. Reviews are public by definition, which makes this the easiest number on the page to audit.

  • Email and SMS revenue

    What we report

    Flow and campaign performance, list growth, deliverability, and attributed revenue.

    Where you check it

    Your email and SMS platform account and your store or CRM revenue reporting. The list is yours and stays yours.

Which of these apply depends on the pillars in your plan. Nothing here requires our permission, our login, or a request to us. See what each service covers.

The cadence

What lands, and when

  1. Live, always

    The portal

    Spend, leads, cost per lead, calls, rankings, and revenue, visible whenever you want to look. It is the same view we make decisions from, not an export prepared for you.

  2. Every week

    A written summary

    What we changed, why we changed it, what it did, and what happens next week. In plain language, in writing, so you have a record rather than a memory of a call.

  3. Every month

    A review against the plan

    Performance against the numbers we set at kickoff, what is working, what we are cutting, and where the budget moves next.

  4. Every quarter

    The next plan

    A rebuilt forecast and channel plan based on what the last quarter actually produced, not on what we hoped it would.

Illustrative samples

What a full-service engagement looks like

These are sample engagements prepared for launch, not client case studies. They are illustrative scenarios written to show how the pillars combine in a real business and what gets measured in each one. They contain no client identities and no outcome figures, because attaching numbers to a scenario we have not run would be fiction.

Illustrative home services engagement: Map pack, Local Services Ads, and tracking as one local systemHome services

Illustrative sample engagement

Map pack, Local Services Ads, and tracking as one local system

  • Local and Maps
  • Paid Media
  • Analytics and Tracking
  • Reputation

The situation. A multi-location home services company appears in paid search but not in the map pack, has an unclaimed Local Services Ads profile, duplicate listings across directories, and no way to tell which calls turned into booked jobs.

What the engagement covers. Google Business Profile rebuilt and verified for each location, duplicate and inconsistent listings cleaned up, Local Services Ads set up with Google screening, Search restructured around service and zip code intent, call tracking installed with conversions reconciled against the booking system, and a review request flow wired into job completion.

What gets measured. Map pack position by service and by zip code, profile calls and direction requests, Local Services Ads calls and charged leads, cost per booked job by channel, and review volume and rating by location.

Illustrative legal engagement: Paid search, AI citations, and reviews for a practice buying on intentLegal

Illustrative sample engagement

Paid search, AI citations, and reviews for a practice buying on intent

  • Paid Media
  • AI Search
  • Reputation
  • CRO and Landing Pages

The situation. A practice runs one broad match search campaign, does not appear when someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation in its city, and has fewer recent reviews than the firms it competes with for the same case types.

What the engagement covers. Search rebuilt around case type intent with a real negative keyword program, practice area pages restructured with entity and schema markup so assistants can attribute the firm correctly, a citation and mention program in the sources those assistants draw from, a review generation flow with response handling, and an intake qualification step on the landing pages so weak inquiries filter before the calendar.

What gets measured. Cost per qualified consultation, share of assistant answers that name the firm for tracked prompts, organic and paid visibility by case type, review velocity and rating, and consultation to signed case rate from the intake system.

Illustrative ecommerce engagement: Creative volume, owned channels, and site speed behind the ad spendEcommerce

Illustrative sample engagement

Creative volume, owned channels, and site speed behind the ad spend

  • Paid Media
  • Creative Studio
  • Email and SMS
  • Web Design and Speed

The situation. A direct to consumer brand has scaled paid social past its creative supply, one fatigued ad carries the account, lifecycle email is a single abandoned cart reminder, and product pages are slow on mobile.

What the engagement covers. A creative testing engine with batches on a fixed cadence and kill criteria set in numbers before launch, Meta and Performance Max restructured around the winners, welcome, abandoned browse, abandoned cart, and post purchase flows built in the brand's own email and SMS platform, and Core Web Vitals work on the templates that receive the traffic.

What gets measured. Cost per acquisition and contribution margin by channel, creative win rate per batch, flow and campaign revenue as a share of total, list growth and deliverability, and mobile Core Web Vitals on the pages ads land on.

Sample engagements prepared for launch. Illustrative only, not client case studies, and not a prediction of your results. Individual outcomes depend on your market, offer, and budget.

What we have not got

No reviews yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise

There are no testimonials on this site, no client logos and no star ratings, because we have not earned any yet. Every one of those is trivial to manufacture, which is exactly why none of them should persuade you. There is one published case study, and it says on its own face what it is: a company under common ownership with CurrentAds, published anonymised for that reason, with no revenue increase attributable to the work. We have no paying clients yet. What we offer instead is checkable before you pay: the price is published, the terms are published, the response times are contractual, and you own every account we touch from the first day. When there is arm’s-length proof it will appear here with the client’s name on it and their permission behind it.

The other half of reporting

What you will never see in a report from us

No impressions or reach as a headline

They are diagnostics, not outcomes. They appear in the detail view where they belong, and never at the top of a report as evidence that something is working.

No number without a source you can open

Every figure we report traces back to a platform, a property, or a system registered to your business. If you cannot open it yourself, we do not put it in the report.

No promised return, revenue, or ranking

We will not forecast a ROAS or a position and call it a commitment. Our guarantee covers delivery of the written plan inside 30 days, which is the part we actually control.

No results attributed to clients we do not have

There are no client logos and no review counts on this site, and no case study we cannot back. The one case study published here says on its own face that it is a first-party build under common ownership, that no revenue increase is attributable to it, and that we have no paying clients yet. The samples further down this page are labeled illustrative because that is exactly what they are.

The terms behind all of this are public: read the 30 day delivery guarantee and the published pricing.

Thirty minutes, no pitch deck. You leave with a written plan and a tracking audit of what your accounts are actually recording today.
