Quick answer

What does Debut Marketing guarantee?

If your Google or Facebook ads don't reach the lead target we agree in writing within your first 90 days, you choose: we refund the management fees you paid for those 90 days, or we keep managing your ads for free until they do. Websites, brand kits and the Foundation Package come with a design guarantee: if you don't like the first design and your revision rounds don't fix it, you can stop and get your money back for that project.

What's covered

Two guarantees

The results guarantee, on ads

For the Starter and Scaling ad plans, on Google or Facebook. Before launch we agree a lead target with you in writing. Miss it in the first 90 days and you choose: your management fees back, or we keep going for free until we hit it.

  • Starter and Scaling plans
  • Google Ads and Facebook ads
  • Measured over your first 90 days

The design guarantee, on one-time work

For websites, brand kits and the Foundation Package. If you don't like the first design we show you, and your included revision rounds don't fix it, you can stop before we launch the site or hand over final files, and we refund what you paid for that project.

  • Websites and brand kits
  • The Foundation Package
  • Before launch or final files

The terms

How the results guarantee works

1. We agree the target before launch

Before your ads go live we agree a lead target for your first 90 days and put it in writing. We set it from your trade, your service area and your ad budget, using the cost per lead figures in our ad budget estimator. It's a number we both sign off on, not one we pick for you.

2. What counts as a qualified lead

A phone call of 60 seconds or longer, or a form, lead form or message, from a real person in your service area asking about a service you offer. Spam, sales calls, job seekers, existing customers, duplicates and people outside your service area don't count. Every lead is tracked from the first contact, so we both see the same list.

3. What you need to do

  • Keep your ad budget at or above the plan minimum for all 90 days: $1,000 a month on Starter, $5,000 a month on Scaling, paid straight to Google or Meta.
  • Keep our management fee paid on time.
  • Reply to leads within one business day.
  • Leave the tracking we set up in place, and keep us on your ad accounts.
  • Don't pause the ads for more than 7 days in total, or change your services, prices or service area in a big way, without agreeing a new target with us first.
  • Keep your website or landing page live, and your ad accounts in good standing with Google and Meta.

4. What you get if we miss

Your choice: a refund of the management fees you paid for those 90 days, or we keep managing your ads with no management fee until you reach the target. Your ad spend is paid to Google or Meta, so it isn't part of the refund, and neither is one-time work like a website, a brand kit or a photo shoot.

5. How to claim

Email info@debutmarketing.ca within 14 days after day 90. We go through the lead report with you. If the target was missed, you get your refund within 14 days, or the free months start right away. One claim per business.

What we don't guarantee

Where nobody can promise a number

Some things aren't in anyone's control. An agency that guarantees them is guessing, and our own cost guide lists it as a red flag.

Rankings and AI answers

Google decides rankings and AI tools decide who they mention. For SEO and AEO/GEO we agree the monthly work and report on it every month, and you can see exactly what was done.

Revenue

We can bring in the leads. How many turn into jobs depends on your prices, your follow-up and your close rate.

Click prices

Google and Meta set what a click costs in their auctions. We control where the money goes, not what the auction charges.

Straight answers

Guarantee questions

Why do you offer a guarantee?

Because we measure ourselves in leads and booked jobs, and we would rather carry some of the risk than bill you for ads that aren't working.

Does the guarantee cover SEO?

No. Local SEO builds over 6 to 12 months, and nobody controls Google's rankings. Ads can be measured in 90 days, so that's where the guarantee sits.

What if I cancel before 90 days?

The guarantee needs the full 90 days, so cancelling early ends it. You still own your ad accounts, your tracking and everything we built.

Is the guarantee in my agreement?

Yes. The lead target and these terms go into your agreement before launch, so there's nothing to argue about later.

Does the guarantee cover Facebook ads?

Yes. The Starter and Scaling Facebook ads plans are covered on the same terms as Google Ads. The Ad Creative shoot included with them is one-time work, so it isn't refunded.
