Hi, I'm Vanesh. 3+ years ago, I started running Google Ads and Facebook Ads for one small brand. Today, Breeze, Data Sight, Skyway, and Datawave trust me to turn their ad spend into B2B leads they can actually count on. Here's how I did it. Not by chasing impressions. Not by optimizing for likes. By building PPC systems where every click is tracked, every dollar is accountable, and every campaign is judged on one thing did it bring in qualified leads. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗼 I run Google Ads (Search, Display, Performance Max, Shopping, Video) and Meta Ads (Conversions, Traffic, Retargeting) built specifically for B2B lead generation, not vanity metrics. Behind every campaign: GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Conversion API, Looker Studio. If a click happens, I can trace it. If a decision needs to be made, the data makes it not a guess. 🎯 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 High-converting Google Ads & Facebook Ads campaigns for B2B and DTC growth Audience segmentation, keyword research, precision targeting Conversion tracking that actually works (GA4, GTM, Meta Pixel, CAPI) Lowering CPL through smarter bidding and sharper creative Retargeting funnels that convert warm leads, not just re-target them Full-funnel lead generation systems that get tested, optimized, and reported — weekly, not quarterly 📊 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 Data Sight: CPL down 38%. Conversions up 45%. Breeze: 20 monthly leads → 95. Same budget, sharper targeting. Skyway: 7x ROAS through better creative and audience strategy. Datawave: ROI up 52% through funnel fixes and cleaner attribution. Google Ads Certified. Meta Blueprint Certified. Not because certificates matter — because clients deserve to know the technical side is covered, so we can focus on the part that actually moves revenue. I don't chase what's trending. I test, I track, I fix what's broken, and I scale what works. That's the whole method. 🤝 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 If you're tired of ad spend that doesn't translate into leads, let's fix that. Tell me what you're building or what's already running and underperforming and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it. Best, Vanesh Kumar Your Google Ads & Facebook Ads Media Buyer
