FAQ

The questions Chicago businesses actually ask.

How much should I spend on Microsoft Advertising in Chicago?

Most Chicago engagements we run sit between $3,000 and $20,000 per month, with outliers in either direction. The right number depends on your average customer lifetime value, target cost per acquisition, and how saturated your category is in the Chicago market. Before we recommend a budget, we audit historical performance, current creative or content quality, and your conversion rate. Spending without that baseline is gambling, not media buying.

How long until I see results from Microsoft Advertising?

Most Microsoft ad engagements show meaningful signal within 14 to 28 days, with stable predictable behaviour usually settling between days 45 and 90. Anyone promising day-one outcomes on cold accounts is exaggerating. SEO is the slowest of the family. Count six months for compounding results.

Do you take over my existing account or start a new one?

In most cases we take over the existing account. Historical performance data, audience signals, and account history all carry forward, which is valuable. If your account has structural issues that cannot be fixed in place, we recommend a new build alongside the legacy account so we do not lose history.

What industries in Chicago do you specialize in?

Consultus Digital runs four divisions: Healthcare, Trades & Construction, DTC & eCommerce, and Professional Services. The specialization matters because Chicago buying behaviour and competitor density differ from other markets. We tune the approach to how Chicago buyers actually behave, not to a national playbook.

How is your reporting different from other Microsoft agencies?

Our standard monthly report ties every dollar of spend to a tracked outcome (lead, booking, or revenue event), broken down by campaign, channel, and audience. Most agency reports stop at impressions, clicks, and CTR. We start there and keep going, because the conversation that matters is "did this work" not "did the program run."

What does an engagement with Consultus Digital actually look like in month one?

Week one is access plus audit. Week two we lock strategy and budget. Week three we build. Week four we launch and measure. By the end of month one you have a working program against your KPIs and a baseline report. Nothing exotic, just disciplined.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. We work on month-to-month retainers. Annual commitments are available at a discount but they are optional. If our work isn't creating results, you shouldn't be locked in.

Are you a certified partner with the major platforms?

Yes. We are a certified Google Partner, Meta Business Partner, Microsoft Advertising Partner, and Zoho Authorized Partner. Partner status alone doesn't guarantee a good agency, but its absence is a fair signal that an agency may not have invested in the credentials of its team.
