Google Ads Manager, Strategist & Auditor (18 yrs) - Expert Vetted

I've managed Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Tag Manager (GTM) for 18+ years and am Expert-Vetted for Google Ads. I also have good companion knowledge of Google Business Profiles (GBPs), GA4, and GTM. I can provide detailed audits of Local SEO. In the last 18 years, I have logged 46,000 hours via direct relationships and Upwork. My clients range from $2k to $180k/month, occasionally a bit higher. While I am actively involved in account creation and management, I have strategic skills that only come from long hours spent managing more than 500 Google Ads accounts and making a conscious and recurring effort to talk shop with other experts. I can almost always improve things for my clients. You will improve if you give me the time and follow my instructions. This usually involves your commitment to invest in ad creatives plus scrupulous attention to adapting your website. Ultimately, you must do two things to succeed with Google Ads - (1) Do it the way Google Wants (mostly). (2) Do things that are additive and different than your competitors.
