I specialise in fixing and scaling underperforming Google Ads and e-commerce systems. Currently managing R2M+ monthly ad spend across international markets. With 20+ years in digital operations and 16+ years in performance marketing (SEO/SEM), I work hands-on inside high-spend accounts to reduce wasted spend, improve ROAS, and build scalable acquisition systems. Currently managing R2M+ monthly Google Ads budgets across international markets, optimising campaign structure, search term control, and conversion funnels under real performance pressure. What I do best: 🔹 Google Ads Performance & Optimisation - Full account audits and restructures (Search, Shopping, Performance Max) - Search term control & negative keyword strategy - Reducing wasted spend and improving CPA / ROAS - Fixing poor campaign structures and scaling what works 🔹 Landing Pages & Conversion Optimisation - Build and optimise high-converting landing pages aligned to search intent - Replace expensive third-party tools (e.g. Unbounce) with scalable in-house systems - Identify and fix conversion blockers (pricing errors, UX issues, weak messaging) 🔹 E-commerce Growth & Operations - Shopify, Prestashop, Magento, WordPress - Full funnel optimisation (traffic → conversion → retention) - Product feeds, tracking, attribution, and performance analytics 🔹 Analytics & Decision-Making - Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Merchant Center, Looker Studio - Data-driven budget allocation and performance insights - Clear reporting focused on business outcomes, not vanity metrics What makes me different: - I don’t “manage ads” — I fix broken systems and improve profitability - Strong technical + operational background (not just marketing theory) - Comfortable working in high-pressure, high-spend environments - Focused on real ROI, not just traffic or clicks If your ad spend is high but results aren’t where they should be — I can help you identify why and fix it.
