STOP burning your money. STOP guessing with Google Ads. STOP following generic advice from Google. Thank you for being here, my own little space on this amazing platform to connect with entrepreneurs from around the world. 3% of myself: I'm an entrepreneur, just like you, someone whose mind is constantly generating new ideas and thinking about how to bring them to life. Most importantly, I'm not afraid to be myself or limited by the traditional 9-to-5 corporate mindset. I bet you are too. Here I am -- a fresh face on this platform, backed by over 12 years of experience in digital marketing and specialising in Google Ads. I'm passionate about helping entrepreneurs and businesses grow, solve problems, and achieve sustainable success through smart, data-driven marketing. You and I are probably on the same journey, building our own little empires — businesses that truly reflect who we are: our mission, our vision, and our purpose. We're not easily replaceable because we are the heart and soul of our brands. You may already be well ahead of me. If you've surpassed the $5 million revenue mark, you can stop reading here. It's likely time to bring a full-time marketer in-house — just as I was in my previous full time role, where I had the privilege of being part of an incredible team that helped grow the business from $5 million to $20 million in just one year. If you're still reading, thank you. Let's talk about real business. Here are some simple rules for google ads if you don't know yet. Simple Rule #1: If your campaign isn't performing today, it's won't perform better tomorrow without fixing the underlying issues. Simple Rule #2: Increasing the budget won't improve performance, it just increases your losses. Simple Rule #3: If you understand Rule #1 and #2. Don't gamble with Google Ads. Build the right foundation first, optimise the account, and then scale with confidence. Yeah, yeah, ChatGPT said the same thing. Tell me how? First, let me do what I do best, so you can focus on what you do best. Second, I help Shopify and e-commerce brands, lead gen business transform wasted ad spend into predictable, profitable growth. I've faced many of the same challenges myself, and I've helped other brands overcome them too. You'll find real case studies in my Profile Highlights below. With over 12 years of experience and an entrepreneurial mindset, I don't just create and manage ads. I'm here to help build businesses for long-term success. That's how exceptional brands stand out from the crowd — you can probably think of a few that do exactly that. No two businesses are the same. Neither are Google Ads campaigns. Let’s talk. Send me your website. Completely free. If I don't think Google Ads is your right next step or that I can move your numbers, I'll tell you straight away. Let’s grow your business. WHAT YOU GET: Clear breakdown of what're the current issues Quick wins within 7–14 days A structured roadmap to scale profitably Better control over ROAS and performance After seeing the results, if you'd like to talk again. I’m here for you. Let’s grow your business together.

Ernie here. Based in Perth, running an AI native paid media studio. Frank, the AI surveillance layer I built, watches every account 24 hours a day. The team executes. I run strategy. The cycle is faster, tighter, and catches things weekly cycles miss. I do not do SEO, social media management, content marketing, or 30 minute discovery calls. I do run Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit, server-side tracking, GA4, GTM, Looker Studio, landing pages, and CRO. All under one operator. 🏅 Top 1% Expert-Vetted Google Ads & PPC Strategist Globally 🏅 Ranked 1st in Australia for Job Completions, Earnings, and Expert-Vetted Status 🏅 15 years building paid media systems, 800+ Upwork jobs completed 🏅 Studio at keywordadv com - case studies, methodology, and field notes from running real accounts 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 I work on a percentage of ad spend retainer model. The percentage scales down as the account grows. The smaller the budget, the higher the percentage, because smaller accounts still need the same brain behind them. The bigger the budget, the lower the percentage, because the system scales without scaling our cost to you. Frank, the AI surveillance layer, the team, the strategy, the landing pages, the tracking, the creative, the reporting. All of it scales with you. You do not buy a tier. You buy the studio. One off audits, account rebuilds, and tracking implementations are scoped fixed price, outside the retainer model. Send a message with your current monthly ad spend and I will share the exact percentage that fits your account.
