Get more sales from the ad budget you already spend

Most accounts I take over are not short of budget. They are paying full price for clicks that were never going to buy, while losing the ones that would. I hold the campaigns, the page after the click and the measurement together, which is the only way to know which of the three is costing you.

Where the budget is going

Last month’s missed calls, times the share you would normally win, times what a job is worth to you. In most local accounts that beats the whole ad budget.

The search terms nobody reads
Broad terms buy the wrong jobs, the wrong jurisdictions and people looking for free advice. Each one costs what a real enquiry costs.
The step after the click
The ad does its job and the product page, the checkout or whoever answers the enquiry does not. The click costs the same either way, and it is the half nobody is watching.
Bidding on the wrong signal
If the platform only ever sees a form fill, it buys more form fills from wherever they are cheapest. It never sees which ones became customers.

Creative strategy

Customer research, ad concepts and landing-page copy developed together. Each test starts with a question we need to answer.

Customer research

Reviews, searches and support questions help identify what customers need to know before buying.

Ad and page copy

The ad and landing page explain the same offer, with a clear next step.

Creative testing

Angles, hooks and briefs are tested against a specific question, with results used to guide the next version.

What it costs, and what happens first

Three shapes of engagement and the figures they start from. If the budget is well under the ongoing number, you find that out here rather than after a call.

Account review

Free

Send the account and what feels stuck. You get the first constraint worth fixing, what it is plausibly worth, and an honest answer on whether it is work I should do.

  • Conversion tracking audit
  • Landing page and offer review

Ongoing management

Most common

From $1,700 / month per channel

Campaigns, creative and reporting, judged against sales or lead quality rather than the number the platform reports.

  • Google Ads $1,700, Meta Ads $1,700, both $3,400
  • Creative strategy, direction and conversion copy
  • Daily log and report access, not a monthly deck

Focused project

Fixed price per project

One defined build: a Shopify store, a landing page, or a tracking rebuild. Scope agreed before work starts.

  • Shopify builds and theme work
  • Landing pages and CRO
  • GA4, GTM, Pixel and CAPI

Above roughly $24,000 a month in a channel’s own ad spend, that channel adds 3% of the spend above that line — $180 on $30,000 of Google spend, not a jump to $900. Spend is never pooled: $15,000 on Google and $15,000 on Meta stays at base; $30,000 on Google and $15,000 on Meta adds the 3% on Google only, by approving a scale-up that is already working. Development is quoted separately, in USD. The ad accounts, tracking, call records and reporting are set up in your name and stay yours, so leaving costs you nothing you built.

Your first two weeks

I treat your business with the same care I give my own. We agree on priorities together, and I explain what I recommend and why. You work directly with me throughout. Based in the Philippines. Working remotely with businesses worldwide.

  1. Days 1–3

    I read the account, the tracking and the pages. Nothing changes yet — most wasted spend comes from a decision made months ago that nobody re-checked.

  2. Days 4–7

    You get the findings ranked by cost, with what I would change first and what I would leave alone. You approve the scope before anything moves.

  3. Week 2

    The agreed changes go live, and reporting is set up so you can see what they did — in your numbers, not the platform's.

When I am the wrong person

I would rather say this now than three weeks in.

  • You want the cheapest possible leads regardless of whether they turn into work.

  • Nobody at your end can tell me which enquiries were any good. Without that I am optimising toward a number that does not mean anything.

  • You need a team on call, or assets produced. I do strategy, direction, copy and static creative — not video or UGC production.

  • You want claims the platform's policy does not allow. I will not write them.

Frequently asked questions

A few things worth knowing before you get in touch.

Do I need every service, or a long-term engagement?

No, and you should not. A single landing page, tracking fix or Shopify build is a legitimate project on its own. Scope, responsibilities, fees and terms are agreed before anything starts. Buying the full stack to fix one problem is how people end up paying for five things to solve one.

What does it cost, and is there a minimum?

Paid-media management is priced per channel, not as one account-wide fee: $1,700 a month for Google Ads, $1,700 a month for Meta Ads, $3,400 a month for both. Each channel carries its own threshold: above roughly $24,000 a month in that channel's own ad spend, that channel adds 3% of its own spend above that line. Spend is never pooled across channels — $15,000 on Google and $15,000 on Meta stays at base, while $30,000 on Google and $15,000 on Meta adds the 3% on Google only. You only reach a threshold by approving a scale-up that is already working. Development is separate from paid-media management — a landing page, a Shopify build, a tracking rebuild is scoped and quoted at a fixed price before work starts. The review that produces the figure for your account is free. If your budget sits well under the ongoing number, say so early and I will tell you whether it is worth doing at all.

What happens after I send my project?

The form lets you choose a 30-minute call time after submitting your details. We discuss your goal, current setup and the first constraint worth investigating. If there is a fit, we define the scope and next steps. Do not send passwords or grant account access through the form.

Can you guarantee sales or leads?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Results depend on your offer, market, margins, site, data and sales process, most of which I do not control. What I will do is agree measurable targets up front and report only what the evidence supports, including when the evidence says the work did not land.
