ROAS sample: August 2025–August 2026. Arithmetic mean of five client-level ROAS values (each client’s ad-attributed revenue ÷ ad spend); each client counts equally. Combined revenue ÷ combined spend was 3.31×. Results vary by account and measurement method.

Working with Ryan and Sara's team feels like having a director-level ad team in-house. They've optimized our Google and Bing campaigns across 12 countries. 4+ years and counting.

Sara's team turned our Meta campaigns from break-even to 4.2x ROAS. They don't just run ads; they understand our customer psychology and iterate daily. Best decision we made.

A few things
you might be wondering.

Can you manage paid ads or advise our in-house team?

Both. We offer hands-on campaign management and strategic consulting. The right mix depends on your team, channels and growth goals.

Where is Hyperdrive Lab based?

San Diego, California. Our team works coast to coast, and we work with businesses across the US, including local businesses throughout San Diego County. Marketing for San Diego businesses

Which ad platforms do you manage?

Google Ads, including YouTube and Local Services Ads, plus Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, Microsoft Advertising, LinkedIn and ChatGPT Ads. See every channel

Do you work with other agencies?

Yes. We support agencies with white-label paid media, campaign management, reporting and pitch support under their own brand.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No. We work month to month. We agree on the scope and engagement terms before starting, then stay focused on the work and priorities ahead.

What’s the difference between the free review and the Paid Media Diagnostic?

The free review focuses on the ad examples and public landing page you share. The paid diagnostic is a separately scoped engagement that goes deeper into campaign data, measurement and account decisions. We agree on access, deliverables and fee before beginning.

Can you help us use AI if we don’t know where to start?

Yes. Start with a task that is slow, repetitive or difficult to keep consistent. We can help assess the opportunity, choose appropriate tools and plan a bounded pilot with clear data boundaries and human review.

Is AEO the same thing as advertising in ChatGPT?

No. Answer engine optimization (AEO) focuses on making useful, reliable business information easier to find and understand. ChatGPT Ads are paid placements. Neither paid advertising nor AEO guarantees an organic AI recommendation. How our AEO work gets businesses recommended
