✅ Certified Digital Marketing Specialist in Google, Microsoft, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, & LinkedIn Ads with over $10 million managed in ad spend and 17+ years of digital marketing experience. ✅ As an Upwork Top-Rated Plus professional with 10k+ hours billed and a 100% Job Success Score, I bring you proven results. ✅ I specialise in PPC, SEM, and SMM for small and medium-sized businesses. I build campaigns from scratch and optimise them weekly, with transparent monthly reporting and clear communication, so you always know what's working. ✅ Tracking is where most accounts leak money, so I fix it first. I implement and audit conversion tracking end-to-end: GA4, Google Tag Manager (client-side and server-side), Google Ads conversions with Enhanced Conversions, Meta Pixel + Conversions API, and TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Pinterest pixels. This includes event mapping, offline and CRM conversion imports, call and form tracking, cross-domain and Shopify/WooCommerce setups. ✅ If your data is duplicating, under-reporting, or simply not firing, I'll diagnose it, rebuild it properly, and give you a tracking setup you can trust before a dollar more goes into the platforms.

I am an SEO consultant & content strategist with a decade of experience in digital marketing. I specialise in working with businesses in construction and services but have extensive experience with e-commerce, brick and mortar retail and much more. I've spent time working with a number of premier agencies in Australia, on a wide range of well-known brand accounts. I consistently deliver excellent results for my clients and I maintain a no-fluff approach to SEO that focuses firmly on the fundamentals. If you're looking for someone to create 1000s of AI spam pages, I'm not the guy you're looking for. However, if you'd like to build a sustainable organic strategy that prioritises user intent and high-quality copy, and generates leads for years to come, I'm here to help. Let's have a chat!

Your Instagram is getting likes but not clients. I fix that. I build organic lead generation systems for coaches and personal brands. Not by posting more. By rebuilding the positioning, content architecture, and conversion logic that turns attention into booked calls. In the last 24 months my systems have generated $1.2M+ in tracked client revenue. One coaching client went from zero inbound to 60+ qualified DMs a day within 30 days. Another closed £20,000 in high-ticket sales starting from 546 followers. A single strategic post I built generated 2,400 inbound leads and reached 2.8M people organically. I've done this across 40+ high-ticket coaches and creators. The pattern is almost always the same: good content, broken conversion flow. The fix lives in your bio, your CTA structure, and how your content moves people from scroll to message. I work in whatever shape fits the problem. Focused Strategy Sprints when you want a fast diagnostic and a system installed. Ongoing strategic partnership when you want someone in the trenches with you on content, ads, and funnel optimization. Either way, you get the blueprint and the execution logic that turns Instagram into a client acquisition channel. If your content gets engagement but your DMs are quiet, message me. I'll tell you what's broken in the first 5 minutes.
