"We hired Jason after a bad experience with minimum effort and minimum results from another agency. Since moving to Lucid and tidying up our landing pages and Google Ads, our cost per acquisition dropped by 66% and lead quality increased 200-300%. The change was almost immediate and has stayed consistent for months. He has total depth of knowledge and a genuine desire to get the absolute best outcomes."
