A client named Bonnie almost spent $1,500 on searches no one makes.
Bonnie runs a seed cleaning equipment company. Twenty years in business. Solid product. Real customers nationwide.
Before we talked, she did something smart — she used AI to build her entire 2026 marketing plan. It came back thorough. Confident. It called one keyword cluster a "gold mine" and recommended she expand into it aggressively.
I ran it against actual Google search data.
Zero monthly searches. Not low — zero. That one recommendation would have burned through $1,500 chasing buyers who don't exist.
But here's what else we found.
Her working campaigns — the ones actually bringing in buyers — were only capturing 31% of available search traffic. She was missing 69% of the people actively looking for what she sells. Same budget. Right there. Just pointed at the wrong thing.
We also looked at her email plan. She was going to manually copy 150 addresses into Gmail's BCC field every day. Fifteen-plus hours a quarter — and it would have gotten her account flagged.
Three problems. Three different parts of the marketing system. None of them visible until someone looked at the whole thing at once.
"AI generates possibilities. But human logic determines which ones actually work." — Bonnie, seed cleaning equipment manufacturer
That's exactly it. The tools are everywhere now — AI marketing plans, Google Ads, email platforms, LinkedIn automation. Most small businesses are adding them without knowing if the foundation can support them.
The Red Line Review figures that out.
What the review covers
This isn't a Google Ads audit. It's a full read on your marketing system.
Your Numbers
Do you know what a qualified lead is actually worth? What it costs to acquire one? Without these numbers, every marketing decision is a guess.
Buyer Clarity
Are you targeting the right people on the right channel? The way your best buyers find vendors may not be Google. We figure out where the fit actually is.
Ads & Budget
If you're running paid ads — Google, LinkedIn, wherever — we look at structure, keywords, bidding, targeting, and where the money is actually going.
Email & Outreach
Is your email setup compliant? Effective? We check the full picture — not just whether you have a list.
Tracking & Attribution
If your tracking is broken, you can't know what's working. We verify your setup is capturing the right signals so future decisions have a foundation.
AI Tool Fit
Are the AI tools you're using — or considering — matched to your actual situation? AI amplifies what's already there. If the foundation is broken, it just speeds up the waste.
Here's the Kind of Waste I'm Looking For
Most marketing budgets have problems like this hiding in plain sight. A Red Line Review finds them before they compound.
15 minutes of real data = $2k–$3k saved.

No pitch at the end. Some people fix it themselves after the review. That's fine.
Is this the right fit?
This works well if you're:
- Running ads but not sure if they're actually working
- Not sure what's broken — just know something is
- Considering a new channel or tool and want to know if your foundation is ready
- Responsible for marketing and need a clear starting point
- A manufacturer with a long sales cycle and high-value buyers
It's probably not the right fit if you're looking for someone to manage campaigns for you on an ongoing basis — that's a different conversation. This is a diagnostic, not a retainer.
"Corey gives me up to date, thorough assessments of how we're doing — no sugar coating. I have seen a big spike in activity off our website and we're getting more calls from customers who could have only found us by doing a search. We're on the map now... Business is up 33%. We made the right move."

Before I ran Google Ads, I spent 17 years as a mechanical draftsman. I know tolerances, RFQs, and what a 6-month sales cycle actually looks like. When I look at your marketing, I look at the whole system — not just one channel. Company of One. No junior account managers, no handoffs.
If one qualified lead is worth more than $495 to your business, this pays for itself before you change a single thing.
