Three paths, the choice depends on your budget
On your own, with training. The «Magic of Google» course, 300 to 800 euros: set everything up yourself with lessons and typical-mistake reviews. Good when the budget is small but you have time.
With a mentor. Your marketer sets up the ads, Igor and the team review and guide. Faster than learning from scratch, cheaper than an agency.
Agency. The agency runs the ads for you: audit 221 dollars, setup 684 dollars, management from 5,000 dollars. Right when the budget lets you delegate.
With your budget, starting with training or mentorship makes more sense.
