What does each one run for me?

Engines run on a schedule whether anyone is at a desk, and the team that built them runs them. Starter carries the TruLata dashboard, full analytics, leads, search visibility, the AI visibility program, managed Google Ads search, the assistant and briefings and support tickets. Launch adds the content engine. Growth adds Meta ads. Command adds the outbound engine, social media management and your full marketing team, always on.

Surefire Local describes ratings and reviews, business listings, local paid ads, lead generation, and analytics and reporting in one platform. It lists listings across 70+ directories, pre-built location-based ad campaigns, and call, web traffic and campaign tracking.

Whose lead count can I trust?

Trust your own count. Forms on a site we build are handled server-side, and each submission is written to a Google Sheet and emailed to the team as it lands. At 7:20 Eastern every morning, on an instance whose forms feed the sheet, the lead watch compares it with the conversions Google Ads counted and the events GA4 recorded, so a dead tag or a blind ad account shows up the next day.

Whoever you choose, ask whether the lead count on your screen is your own record or the ad platform's.

Whose count is on the screen

Your record

  • Every form submission, written to your sheet as it lands
  • Compared with Ads and GA4 at 7:20am ET

Ask Surefire Local

  • Is the lead count on the screen your own record, or the ad platform's?

Trust your own count.

Will I see every change made to my ads?

At 7:05 Eastern every morning one job reads the change history of every ads account connected to us, plus the list of who holds access to it. Our own writes land in that same history, so what our team did sits on the same record as everyone else's.

Ask Surefire Local how you would see a change made to your ads account last week, and who holds access to it today.

What do I keep if I leave?

Keep your accounts. Every Google connection is a grant you can revoke in your own console, we never ask for an account password, and where your forms feed a lead sheet the sheet stays where it is. What we read and what leaves with you is written out in full.

Ask Surefire Local who owns the ad account, the analytics property, the website and the domain on the day you leave.
