Generated over $6.3M in tracked revenue and helped businesses reduce cost per lead by as much as 65% through Google Ads and PPC optimization. I help businesses generate more leads and sales through data-driven Google Ads strategies built for long-term ROI — not wasted ad spend. With 10+ years of experience and $20+ million in managed ad spend, I’ve maintained 5-star reviews while helping businesses across multiple industries scale their results. Google Ads Services ✅ Full Google Ads campaign setup and management ✅ Google Ads audits and performance analysis ✅ Conversion tracking setup and troubleshooting ✅ Google Tag Manager & GA4 implementation ✅ Keyword research and competitor analysis ✅ High-converting ad copy creation ✅ Landing page and funnel recommendations ✅ Custom KPI dashboards and reporting ✅ Ongoing campaign optimization to improve ROI What You Can Expect ✔ Lower cost per lead and reduced wasted ad spend ✔ Accurate conversion tracking and analytics ✔ More qualified leads and profitable sales ✔ Transparent communication and reporting ✔ Focused attention — not being passed around a large agency team ✔ Strategies built around your business goals and profitability For example: ✅ Increased qualified leads 161% for a private university while maintaining the same annual ad spend. ✅ Grew eCommerce revenue from $2M to $6.3M while improving ROAS from 318% to 451%. ✅ Reduced cost per lead from $20 to $7 through campaign restructuring and conversion optimization. ❗️Why You Should Choose Me Over Others❗️ ✅ Responsiveness: PPC management is a highly dynamic realm—responsiveness, to not only client needs/wants, but also to ever-shifting platforms is a must. ✅ Over Deliver: I aim to deliver results that go above and beyond expectations. I give it my all and in doing so, I deliver more than I receive. ✅ Commitment: I manage every account as if its my own. Compounding this commitment with tenacity means profitable lead generation is an almost guaranteed end result. ✅ Growth Mindset: You can only grow as far as your mental limitations. That's why my mindset is set on growth for effective and efficient scalability to maximize your ad spend. ✅ Purpose: PPC management is an art and science that I find fascinating. It's dynamic, a place where analytics, psychology and creative elements intertwine, and a proven tool of value. Unlike many PPC freelancers, I combine technical analytics, conversion tracking expertise, and business growth strategy to help clients make better marketing decisions. If you’re ready to scale your business with Google Ads, send me a message and let’s discuss how I can help today. *Please note, I had stepped away from Upwork while managing other client accounts and I’m available again. All of my case studies are up to date.

Hi there! I'm Michael and I'm a happy guy. Why am I happy? Allow me to explain! I'm a Top Rated Plus | Expert-Vetted (Top 1%) | Strategist and Ads Buyer I've found freedom in migrating away from the corporate world and into the independent journey of freelancing. I took the leap of faith in early 2015 and left my comfy corporate job for a world of working for myself. I was able to work right away with some smaller companies and found I was able to drive the same success metrics (and often better) then the results I saw for my million dollar clients! I've been able to apply Big Agency techniques and strategies at the micro-level for just a fraction of Big Agency cost. I've worked with over 150+ businesses in over 20 different industries and have seen over a 90% success rate! I spent 15+ years working for agencies and focusing my expertise on Paid Search. Specifically, I consider myself an expert in Google Ads (formerly AdWords), Facebook Ads, Google Analytics, Google Data Studio, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Ads & numerous other Native ad platforms. I hold individual certifications in Google Ads, Meta Ads (Blueprint) Google Shopping, Google Analytics, & rank in the top 10%. I've worked with budgets ranging from $20/day all the way to $5,000. I want to help learn about your business goals as I help it grow. Let's chat!

Paid Media Strategist | Google, Meta, LinkedIn & Bing Ads | 10+ Years Driving Qualified Leads I run paid media campaigns for agencies and businesses that need results, not reports. Over the past 10 years I've managed Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and Bing accounts across a wide range of industries — attorney, ecommerce, medical devices, urgent care, home services, real estate, restaurants, and more — which means I don't need a learning curve to understand your business or your buyer. What I bring to the table: Full-funnel platform expertise. From account structure and keyword strategy to RSA copywriting (with character-limit precision) and conversion tracking, I build campaigns that are engineered to convert — not just launch. Implementation-ready deliverables. I work fast in Google Ads Editor with bulk upload workflows, and I hand off clean, production-ready CSV/Excel files and audits — not vague recommendations you have to translate into action yourself. Agency-friendly and white-label ready. I've worked as a retained/white-label partner for agencies serving B2B and B2C clients, so I know how to plug into an existing team, communicate clearly, and make you look good in front of your client. Multi-vertical range. Medical/aesthetic practices, urgent care clinics, restaurants and hospitality, real estate, roofing and home services, waste management — I adapt strategy to what actually moves the needle in your space, not a one-size-fits-all playbook. If you need someone who can own paid media end-to-end — strategy, build, copy, tracking, and reporting — and deliver work that's ready to launch, let's talk. Industries served: 🔹 Home Builders, Apartments, Senior Centers 🔹 Home Services (energy, home inspection, remodeling, pest control) 🔹 B2B (commercial crane rental, SaaS/tech, restaurant supply, energy markets) 🔹 B2C Medical (pain management, plastics, rehab, hearing, dentists, orthodontics) 🔹 B2C Services (interior designers, fishing charters, debt consolidation/credit repair) 🔹 E-commerce
