🥇 Top Rated Meta Ads Expert Managing $200k Monthly Ad Spend 🥇 Managed 400+ Meta Ads Campaigns across agencies & businesses 🥇 Scaled a Jewelry Brand Revenue by 75% | ROAS 1.47x → 4.58x 🥇 145 Leads Generated for a Gym & Reduced CPL by 60% 🥇 256 Qualified Leads at $2.82 CPL for a Service-Based Business ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹. 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵! Most Meta Ads campaigns don't fail because of budget. They fail because they are built to get clicks, not customers. Reach without conversion architecture is just expensive noise. I build campaigns that are engineered to convert. Every dollar tracked. Every decision backed by data. Every system built to scale. 📌 Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Ads → Structure: I build campaigns with a clear strategic framework designed for scalability, separating prospecting and retargeting funnels, organizing by objectives, and ensuring every dollar is tracked and optimized for growth. No overlap. No wasted spend. → Audiences: I create layered audience strategies using detailed targeting, lookalike audiences, and behavioral signals, applying them to the right objectives at the right funnel stage. I use strategic audience exclusions to prevent cannibalization and provide strong audience signals to Meta's Advantage+ campaigns so the algorithm learns faster and scales more efficiently. → Creatives: Ads win or lose on creative. I test multiple formats including videos, carousels, static images, and stories so Meta can optimize across all placements. I work with your existing assets or produce scroll-stopping creatives using AI-powered tools including Higgsfield, built to feel native to the platform and engineered around your conversion objectives. → Budget: I maintain a strong grip on where and how your budget is spent while leveraging Meta's machine learning to automatically allocate toward best-performing assets. Human oversight and algorithmic optimization working together for maximum return. → Artificial Intelligence: From Advantage+ campaigns and automated rules to predictive targeting and Conversion API (CAPI) setup, I integrate Meta's AI tools to improve efficiency, eliminate tracking blind spots, and keep performance compounding over time. I also manage multi-platform campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. 📌 ChatGPT Search Ads & AI-Powered Creative As one of the early specialists in ChatGPT Search Ads, I help businesses capture high-intent audiences directly inside OpenAI's search ecosystem, a channel most competitors have not yet entered. Combined with AI-powered creative production using Higgsfield, I deliver scroll-stopping video ad content at speed without sacrificing the quality that performs on Meta's feed and reels placements. 📌 CRM & Marketing Automation (GoHighLevel) Running profitable ads is only half the system. If your follow-up is slow, manual, or broken, qualified leads go cold before they ever convert. I build complete GoHighLevel systems that capture every lead, qualify them automatically, send email and SMS sequences, book appointments on your calendar, and close sales 24/7 without you chasing anyone. Services include CRM and pipeline setup from qualified to booked to closed, advanced workflows and automations, landing pages and funnels, AI chatbot and voice agent for 24/7 responses, calendar booking and automated reminders, reputation management and review workflows, API integrations with Zapier and Make, white label and SaaS mode for agency owners, and custom dashboards with real-time reporting. 📌 Industries where my campaigns have delivered results → Real Estate → eCommerce → Automotive & Auto Transport → SaaS → Gyms & Fitness Clubs Most freelancers run your ads month to month, send reports full of vanity metrics, and hand you nothing when the contract ends. I build you a complete performance marketing system: structured campaigns, accurate tracking, tested creatives, and automation that runs without you. When we stop working together, the results do not disappear. You keep the system. Send me a message with your current situation, your monthly ad budget, and what you have tried so far. I will tell you exactly what I would do differently.
