Google Ads managed for return, not for clicks.
Most accounts spend on the wrong searches and measure the wrong things, so the money looks busy but does not return. I manage Google Ads the other way: get the tracking right, cut the waste, and put budget where it actually pays back. I run around 12 accounts this way, with custom automation that keeps campaigns sharp week to week and a human checking every change before it goes live.
Tracking first. Then the money follows.
You cannot improve what you cannot measure, and most accounts measure badly. So the order matters: fix the tracking, cut the waste, test what works, move budget toward it. Then automation keeps it happening every week instead of once a quarter.
| The work | What most accounts do | What I do instead |
|---|---|---|
| Conversion trackingThe foundation | Conversions double-count, misfire, or land on the wrong channel. Every decision after that is wrong. | Fix Google Tag Manager and tracking first, so conversions are attributed to the right channel. |
| Wasted spendThe quick win | Budget leaks on searches that never convert, month after month. | Ongoing negative-keyword control that saves 10 to 15% of monthly spend on the accounts I run. |
| Ad copy and audiencesThe ongoing edge | Set once, left alone, slowly going stale. | Continuous A/B testing of headlines against the audiences that actually respond. |
| Optimisation cadenceThe multiplier | Reviewed when someone remembers, usually when results dip. | Custom automation checks performance weekly, so problems get caught small. |
Automated watching. Human judgement.
I built a custom automation layer that pulls account changes, data and analytics through, so I can edit and process campaigns far faster than clicking around the Google Ads interface. It checks how the ads are performing every week and flags what needs attention. The heavy lifting is automated. The decisions are not.
Faster changes
Data and edits flow through the automation rather than manual interface work, so more time goes on the decisions that move return, and less on admin.
Weekly performance checks
The automation reviews how campaigns are doing every week and surfaces what needs a look, so nothing drifts for a month before anyone notices.
Nothing ships unchecked
A lot of the day-to-day is automated, but no change lands on a live account without me checking it first. Your budget never rides on an automated guess.
Best fit.
A quick sanity check before we talk.
Right account for me
- You are spending real budget and want it managed for return, not for a nice-looking click count.
- You suspect your tracking is off and your reporting cannot be trusted.
- You want an owner on the account week to week, not a set-and-forget setup.
Not the right brief
- You want the cheapest possible management fee and nothing else considered.
- You want to judge success on clicks or impressions rather than return.
- You are not able to install or fix conversion tracking on the site.
