05 The Schedule

Trials first.

The reels run as Instagram trials, shown to non followers only. Cold audiences give the honest read. Each trial gets its window, and what lands gets the money.

Top two rows: all six reels · Gray tiles: the current grid

The account the trials feed

Trials run behind @nyc_gyro without touching the main grid. Non followers see them cold, which keeps the feedback honest. The 40.5K stay warm for the winners.

Winners graduate twice: to the grid, and to the paid budget behind them.

06 The Test

Kill or scale.

The feed picks the winner, not us. The win and kill triggers are locked before the first reel posts. Fifteen minutes every Monday: kill what loses, scale what wins.

07 The Launch

Where the winner runs.

Two channels, one job each. Meta puts the winner in front of Venice. Google catches everyone it made hungry.

Meta

Ads are built and submitted, awaiting Meta approval, on Reels, Feed, and Stories to Venice and the radius. Winning trial content and the account's proven posts carry the spend.

The budget: $2,000. The first days run easy at $20 to $50 a day while the pixel reads what works, then spend follows the winners. If the reads call for new bodies, edits, or another shoot, we go make it.

08 The Search Result

What Venice sees.

The Google panel once paid is live. Listing numbers pulled live Jul 14. Both search ads are approved, submitted, and in Google review.
