BluePoint Google Ads Budget Reallocation
Overview
During the January 21, 2026 marketing call, BluePoint and Asymmetric agreed to reduce the active Google Ads monthly budget cap from ~$1,260/mo to $1,000/mo. The freed budget funds the priority New York campaign while keeping existing campaigns running to maintain baseline lead flow.
Context
BluePoint was running two Google Ads campaigns with a combined daily budget of $42/day (~$1,260/mo). Actual spend over the prior 30 days came in just over $1,000 ($1,029), indicating the campaigns were not consistently hitting their cap. The New York campaign was identified as the top priority initiative, requiring dedicated budget allocation.
Decision
| Parameter | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Combined daily budget | $42/day | ~$33/day |
| Monthly cap | ~$1,260 | $1,000 |
| Existing campaigns | Running | Continue running at reduced cap |
| New York campaign | Not yet running | Funded from savings |
Wade Zirkle's rationale: "Let's put a $1,000 cap on it while we're running the New York campaign. That way we're still running something and I'm still getting leads the way we have been doing it."
Rationale
- The New York campaign is the current top-priority initiative and needs dedicated budget.
- Actual spend on existing campaigns was already near $1,000/mo, so the cap reduction has minimal practical impact on lead volume.
- Maintaining the existing campaigns at a reduced cap preserves baseline lead flow during the New York ramp-up period.
- Budget will be revisited and potentially reallocated once the New York campaign matures.
