Run by a person. Not an AI prompt.

Data-driven strategy and optimization from a paid search executive with 18+ years running Google Ads for brands like Nikon, Zelle and Forever 21.

How I can help

Google's automation and AI tools have changed how campaigns get built, but not what makes them work.

Since the early days of paid search, success has come down to the same fundamentals: the right keywords, ads that speak to what people are actually searching for, and landing pages that make it easy to say yes. The platforms wrap those simple ideas in layers of complexity: targeting options, audience lists, bidding strategies, campaign settings and ad assets, each with its own quirks. I know them inside and out. I've applied these fundamentals across every kind of account, from global brands and enterprise programs to startups and mom-and-pop shops, so I can set realistic goals for your size and budget. And every change I make is driven by your data, not guesswork or the platform's default recommendations.

Google Ads audit

A one-time, top-to-bottom review of your account: wasted spend, conversion tracking, campaign structure, and what Google's automation is actually doing with your budget.

For DIY advertisers, or anyone unsure their agency is delivering.

Ongoing management

I run your search campaigns month to month: strategy, builds, bidding and testing, with a plain-English report on what you spent and what it brought in.

For businesses that want results without learning Google Ads.

SEO and site setup

Getting a new or underperforming website indexed and ranking: technical fixes, Search Console, page structure, and content built around what customers really search.

For websites getting little or no traffic from Google.

Other platforms and tracking

YouTube video campaigns and Microsoft Ads to reach Bing and Yahoo searchers, plus Google Tag Manager and GA4 setup so every platform measures the same thing.

Add-ons to any plan. See pricing

How I work

I only take on a handful of clients at a time, so every account gets senior attention.

A real, experienced human

Strategic decisions based on your data and my experience, with AI as a tool to dig deeper and move faster.

You work with me directly

No account managers in between. The person you talk to is the person in your account.

Month to month

No long-term contracts. Give new campaigns 60 to 90 days to ramp up, then judge the results.

You own everything

Your ad account, data and tracking stay in your name. If we ever part ways, you keep it all.

Questions

Is my ad spend included in the fee?

No. You pay Google directly for your ads, from your own account. My fee is only for the work, so I have no reason to push your budget up.

Is there a contract?

Management is month to month. If you want to stop, give 30 days' notice. Your account, data and tracking stay yours.

How fast will I see results?

Not overnight. Google's bidding needs time to learn from your data, so new or restructured campaigns usually take 60 to 90 days to ramp up. I'll show you what's improving along the way, and we'll judge results once campaigns have had time to settle.

Why a flat fee instead of a percentage of spend?

A percentage rewards spending more, not spending well. A flat fee keeps my incentives the same as yours: better results from the money you already spend.

What if my account changes?

If your account grows in complexity, like new locations, product lines or campaign types, we'll talk about switching plans before anything changes. No surprise charges.

Do you do free consults?

Yes. A free 20-minute call to hear about your business and tell you honestly whether I can help.
