The $1K Research Problem
Agencies charge $1,000-$3,000 for competitive research. Here's what that buys you:
- 4 hours manually browsing competitor ads in Meta Ad Library
- 2 hours analyzing their SEO keywords with multiple tools
- 2 hours tracking their social media and content strategy
- 1 week turnaround time for a PowerPoint report
Total: 8 hours of manual work, $1,000+, delivered in 1 week.
By the time you get it, the market has already changed.
