I help businesses scale Google Ads campaigns with better tracking, stronger lead quality, and a clear path to profitable growth. Iโ€™m Logan Jerolds, founder of Perk Practical, a performance marketing and analytics agency focused on Google Ads, lead generation, PPC strategy, conversion tracking, and revenue-focused campaign scaling. Iโ€™ve worked across local service businesses, legal-adjacent lead generation, home services, B2B, SaaS, eCommerce, and high-intent search campaigns. Most Google Ads accounts do not fail because of one bad keyword. They fail because the full system is broken: poor conversion tracking, loose campaign structure, weak landing pages, low-quality leads, bad search terms, unclear bidding strategy, or no plan for scaling budget without CPA getting out of control. That is where I help. My core services include: Google Ads audits Google Search campaign management Lead generation campaign scaling PPC strategy and account restructuring Google Ads conversion tracking GA4 and Google Tag Manager setup Call tracking and form tracking Landing page conversion review Search term and negative keyword analysis Local service and high-intent lead generation Performance reporting and Looker Studio dashboards Budget scaling plans for profitable growth I am especially strong at helping businesses that already have Google Ads running but feel stuck. Maybe your leads are too expensive, your tracking is unreliable, your campaigns are not scaling, or you do not know which keywords, ads, and landing pages are actually producing revenue. My process is straightforward: First, I audit the account structure, search terms, conversion actions, bidding strategy, landing pages, and lead quality signals. Then, I identify the biggest constraints preventing scale. Finally, I build a practical action plan to improve cost per lead, increase qualified lead volume, and give the account a cleaner foundation for growth. I care about business outcomes, not vanity metrics. Clicks, impressions, and CTR only matter if they help produce better leads, better calls, booked appointments, sales opportunities, or revenue. If you are looking for a Google Ads expert who understands both the technical side of tracking and the business side of lead generation, I can help you build a smarter growth system.
