37. Questions at end:
When should you consider an agency?
You should consider an agency if you are unsure, want to scale up,
or find that it is taking too much time to run the campaigns yourself
Google vs Facebook?
Facebook can deliver good results for performance campaigns.
Comparing Facebook and Google is like apples and oranges. You
should more ask how they can work side by side and evaluate what
works best for your needs.
