Google Ads strategy and implementation
The Google Ads consultant who runs your account as one revenue channel, not a pile of clicks
I personally deliver agreed Google Ads strategy and implementation, connecting Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen and YouTube decisions to the landing pages, conversion measurement and revenue feedback in scope. We agree the work and engagement structure before implementation.
- 100xElementor from $200K to $20M ARR as acquisition lead
- +337%MRR growth driven at Riverside as a growth operator
- $100M+Ad budgets managed across paid search and paid social
In short
I personally deliver the agreed Google Ads work, connect campaign decisions to landing pages and available CRM or ecommerce evidence, and review CAC, payback and pipeline where the data supports it. The scope sets out the inputs, implementation tasks, client responsibilities and work products.
This page is Google Ads specifically: the auction, the campaign types, the measurement. For the cross-channel paid view of how search, social and video compete for the same budget, see the PPC consultant page. For broader marketing leadership and the connected paid discipline, see fractional CMO and performance marketing. We agree which decisions and implementation tasks I own, what you provide and how delivery will be reviewed.
The work
What a Google Ads consultant actually changes in your account
Most accounts I inherit were optimized to the platform's default goal, not to revenue. A Google Ads consultant who has sat on the growth side reads the account differently: which search terms actually became pipeline, where Performance Max quietly cannibalizes brand, and whether Demand Gen and YouTube prime demand or just rent impressions you never convert.
For B2B SaaS that means wiring offline conversion import so Google optimizes toward booked demos and closed-won, not raw form fills. The algorithm only gets smart when you feed it the signal that matters. For ecommerce it means Merchant Center hygiene, a clean product feed, and PMax asset groups split by margin instead of by category, so your best products stop subsidizing your worst.
The real line between a freelancer and a Google Ads consultant is ownership of the number. I do not hand you a dashboard of CTR and CPC and call it a day. I tie spend to CAC and payback, I kill the campaigns that look busy but never compound, and I tell you when the honest move is to spend less.
I have managed $100M+ in ad budgets and took Elementor to 100x ARR, so the discipline is the same whether you spend five figures or seven a month: fewer, better decisions, measured against revenue every week. If you want to see exactly how Google structures these campaign types, the official Google Ads campaign types guide is a useful primer before we talk.
If you want a Google Ads consultant who treats your account like a P&L rather than a set of campaigns, that is how every engagement runs.
Frequently asked questions about a Google Ads consultant
What does a Google Ads consultant do that an agency does not?
An agency gives you hands and capacity; a Google Ads consultant who has run growth owns the number. I tie every dollar of spend to CAC and payback, kill what does not compound, and report on pipeline, not vanity clicks.
How quickly does a Google Ads consultant show results?
Account hygiene and tracking fixes land in the first two weeks. Real efficiency gains from feed, bidding, and offline conversion changes usually show across the first 30 to 60 days as the algorithm relearns on honest signals.
Do you work with B2B SaaS or ecommerce?
Both. For B2B SaaS I optimize toward booked demos and closed-won via offline conversion import. For ecommerce I focus on Merchant Center, feed quality, and margin-aware Performance Max.
How do you measure success?
I define the conversion and revenue measures before changing campaigns: qualified pipeline, closed revenue, customer acquisition cost and payback against your margins. I reconcile Google Ads reporting with CRM or commerce records, and separate brand from non-brand traffic. For B2B, lead quality and sales outcomes matter; for ecommerce, returns and contribution margin matter. Attribution differences and uncertain incrementality stay visible in the review.
How it runs
How I deliver Google Ads as a connected workstream
I start with the account, landing pages and measurement available to us, then agree which constraint to address. Campaign changes need a clear customer action and a way to evaluate lead quality or sales; a lower cost per click alone does not establish commercial value.
I personally deliver the agreed paid-media work. I connect account decisions to the relevant landing-page, CRO, lifecycle and analytics work in scope, while client owners retain their approvals, account ownership and sales responsibilities.
The agreed work can include campaign structure, landing-page briefs or builds, conversion measurement and review of downstream lead quality. I document inputs, implementation responsibilities and how each deliverable will be checked. For the wider paid discipline see performance marketing; for the demand side see demand generation.
In the account
What I actually do in the account
Six levers, each run against pipeline and revenue rather than platform vanity metrics.
Search intent architecture
Campaigns built around buyer intent tiers, tight match-type and negative strategy, and ad copy mapped to where the searcher sits in the funnel rather than one generic message for every keyword.
Performance Max with guardrails
PMax run with asset-group discipline, audience signals, and brand and lead-quality exclusions so it does not quietly cannibalize brand search or flood you with junk conversions.
Demand Gen and YouTube
Upper-funnel video and Demand Gen used to create demand, with retargeting and view-through wired into the same measurement model so it is judged on assisted pipeline, not last-click alone.
Conversion and value signals
Offline conversion imports, value-based bidding, and enhanced conversions set up so Google optimizes toward qualified pipeline and revenue, not raw form fills.
Brand vs non-brand separation
Brand campaigns isolated and reported separately so incremental, non-brand demand is never hidden inside flattering blended numbers.
Landing and offer alignment
Tight loop between ad, landing page, and offer, run with the CRO work I own so the click has somewhere good to land. See CRO.
When to say no
When Google Ads is right for you, and when it is not
Google Ads is right when there is existing search demand for your category, your unit economics can absorb a paid channel, and you have or are building the funnel to convert intent into revenue.
For most B2B SaaS with a clear problem buyers search for, and for ecommerce with real product demand, it earns its place. It is the wrong first move when nobody is searching for what you do yet, when your category has to be created before it can be captured, or when your funnel leaks so badly that more traffic just means more waste. In those cases I will tell you to fix positioning, demand creation, or conversion first, and I will say so before you spend. That honesty is the point of hiring an operator instead of an agency paid to keep the spend flowing.
Connected channel
Integrated with your full funnel
I connect agreed Google Ads work to the landing pages, tracking and revenue feedback available in your stack. I personally implement the tasks we agree; client owners provide access, approvals and sales follow-up. We record measurement gaps rather than treating every platform conversion as qualified pipeline. See how the broader engine fits together on user acquisition and fractional CMO.
Operator proof
The growth track record behind the channel
I led acquisition at Elementor from roughly $200K to over $20M ARR as the company grew past five million users. I led growth at cnvrg.io, an MLOps platform, ahead of its acquisition by Intel announced in November 2020 (TechCrunch). I drove +337% Net MRR growth at Riverside as a growth operator. Paid acquisition was one lever inside those engines, never the whole story, which is exactly how I run it for you. Full detail on the Elementor and cnvrg.io case studies.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about a Google Ads consultant
What Google Ads work can you personally deliver?
I personally deliver the agreed Google Ads strategy and implementation, connected to the landing pages, conversion measurement and revenue feedback in scope. We agree the work products, access, client responsibilities and engagement structure before work begins. Scope and commercial terms are agreed for your engagement.
Which Google Ads campaign types do you run?
Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, and YouTube, each chosen for the funnel job it does and measured against pipeline and revenue rather than platform vanity metrics.
Do you work with both SaaS and ecommerce?
Yes. B2B SaaS gets intent-led Search plus Demand Gen wired to pipeline; ecommerce gets shopping and PMax tied to value-based bidding and real margin.
What if Google Ads is not the right channel for me?
I will tell you before you spend. If demand does not exist yet or the funnel leaks, I fix positioning, demand creation, or conversion first. I am an operator, not an agency paid to keep budget flowing.
Are you a PPC consultant in Israel?
Yes. I am Israel-based and personally deliver the agreed paid-search work for Israeli and US-facing companies. We agree the campaign, landing-page and measurement responsibilities within your scope, and coordinate with the client owners of related work.
What does it cost?
Diagnostic, infrastructure and embedded Operator pricing depend on the engagement. Scope, time commitment, delivery milestones and contract terms are agreed before work starts.
Can you fix tracking and attribution too?
Yes. I build offline conversion imports, enhanced conversions, and the attribution plumbing so Google optimizes toward qualified pipeline. See marketing ops.
What kind of company is a good fit for working with you?
A good fit is a company with product market fit and real traction that wants to scale revenue, not just traffic. If you are pre product market fit, we first need to establish whether a scoped engagement is appropriate. For Google Ads specifically, it is right when there is existing search demand for your category, your unit economics can absorb a paid channel, and you have or are building the funnel to convert intent into revenue.
Are you taking on new Google Ads clients right now?
I agree the scope, time commitment and availability for each client or project before work starts. You can book a 15-minute call, or write first if you prefer. I read every message myself and reply within one day.
Is there a minimum contract length or notice period?
No, there is no minimum term for working together. My engagements are month-to-month, and either side can end the engagement with 30 days notice. Ending a fractional engagement involves no severance. Scope and exit terms are agreed with you before we start.

Choose the business signal before changing the campaign goal
I review the conversion action, campaign goal and source record together, then personally implement the agreed measurement and campaign changes. Bring an event inventory, permitted CRM or order examples, campaign-goal settings and the owner of qualification and value definitions.
Hypothetical SaaS example: a submitted form, a sales-accepted opportunity and a closed sale describe different stages. The table shows a review decision, not a recommendation that every account should bid on the same event. Missing or immature observations remain unresolved.
An illustrative signal decision
| Event | Evidence check | Possible next action |
|---|---|---|
| Form submitted | Can the request be matched and duplicate submissions identified? | Keep its meaning separate from sales acceptance. |
| Opportunity accepted | Does the CRM owner confirm the eligibility rule and reporting delay? | Test source-to-platform reconciliation before selecting its bidding role. |
| Sale recorded | Can a corrected or cancelled outcome be traced? | Review value and maturity with finance before changing optimization. |
What the review worksheet records
Record both the event setting and its actual campaign use:
- Business event: the customer action and what it means commercially.
- Source and identity: authoritative record and matching identifier.
- Eligibility: which records qualify and which must be excluded.
- Value and owner: value definition and person responsible for it.
- Action setting: observed primary or secondary configuration, not assumption.
- Campaign goal use: selected standard goal or custom-goal inclusion.
- Duplicate or retraction check: repeated, corrected or withdrawn outcomes.
- Delay and maturity: reporting lag and observation window.
- Decision and next check: permitted change and unresolved prerequisite.
Google distinguishes action settings from goal use: a primary action participates in bidding when its standard goal is selected. Secondary actions ordinarily support observation; inclusion in a custom goal makes an action eligible for bidding regardless of its primary/secondary label. Check the actual goal configuration.

Download the blank CSV worksheet. This header-only file has no sample rows or results. Save your own copy in a spreadsheet app and complete it with permitted evidence.
Start with one disputed conversion action. I will scope its reconciliation and the implementation needed before a budget decision; a received signal is not proof of incremental revenue.
