I help e-commerce, healthcare and B2B brands grow retained revenue and organic/AI visibility — combining lifecycle marketing (email/CRM automation) with performance media and AEO/GEO (optimising for AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews).
Currently retained by Granola on lifecycle automation. Six years across media planning, programmatic and CRM, including a recent Planning Account Director contract on Google's account at WPP Media and five years client-side driving a 319% e-commerce revenue uplift (£25k→£104k/month), 642% increase in inbound enquiries, and a 235% lift in organic keyword rankings (1,058→3,601) through tracked SEO.
Built and owned email/CRM workflows in HubSpot and Mailchimp, the same automation discipline now applied to AI-era discoverability.

I've managed $130M in Google Ads spend and generated $1.1B in revenue for businesses from my Google Ads management services.
If your campaign performance is decreasing, you can't generate profitable conversions/sales and frustration is getting the better of you, I'm the guy who fixes it.
Drop me an invite or a message and I'll send you a personalised Loom audit of your account within 48 hours - honest observations, no pitch, completely free.
A little more about me:
I help growth-focused businesses scale Google Ads profitably. Not "manage" their campaigns — actually scale them. I've run $130M+ in ad spend across 14 years, built granular campaign structures most agencies don't have the patience to create, and generated $1.1B+ in revenue for businesses from local tradespeople to e-commerce brands.
I'm a Google Premier Partner - top 3% of all Google Ads managers globally. You can't buy that status. It's earned through sustained performance across live accounts, year after year.
- $1.1B+ in revenue generated across 14 years of hands on Google Ads
- £761,540 in direct revenue for Evolution AV + £1.65M in pipeline
- 78% profitability increase for a major UK conveyancer while nearly 5x-ing spend
- Top 1% Expert-Vetted on Upwork - fewer than 1 in 100 freelancers qualify
- I build the systems behind your ads too - speed-to-lead, AI follow-up
If you want someone who'll challenge your assumptions, dig into the data, and build something that compounds - send me an invite.

The difference between me and everyone else who applied to your job:
I don't set campaigns live and then disappear.
I'm in your account every day.
Cutting what's bleeding.
Doubling down on what's working.
And telling you exactly what's happening and why.
I help businesses reduce wasted ad spend, fix campaign & tracking issues, and turn Google Ads clicks into more qualified leads and profitable sales.
👋🏼Hi, I'm Muhammed with 10+ years of PPC experience, I manage Search, Shopping & Performance Max campaigns for eCommerce, DTC, B2B, SaaS, lead generation, and local businesses.
My focus isn't more clicks, it's better results from the clicks you're already paying for.

❌ High CPA or declining ROAS
❌ Clicks but poor-quality leads
❌ Wasted spend on irrelevant searches
❌ Incorrect or incomplete conversion tracking
❌ PMax spending without clear results

I start with a detailed Free Google Ads audit to uncover wasted spend, targeting issues, tracking problems, campaign structure issues, and missed opportunities before making major changes.

If your tracking is wrong, your optimization decisions will be wrong too. I can audit your Google Ads, GA4, GTM, Merchant Center, lead/call tracking, and conversion setup to make sure you're optimizing toward real leads and sales.
🎯 𝗠𝗬 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗚𝗟𝗘 𝗔𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗦
I don't believe in making random changes to an account. My approach is based on data, testing, and continuous optimization.
🔍 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 & 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺
I start by reviewing your Google Ads account, conversion tracking, campaign structure, keywords, search terms, bidding, targeting, and landing pages to identify where budget is being wasted and where performance can improve.
🎯 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆
Based on the audit, I create a clear strategy around your business goals — whether the priority is generating qualified leads, increasing sales, improving ROAS, or reducing CPA.
⚙️ 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 & 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲
I continuously optimize keywords, search terms, negative keywords, ads, audiences, bidding strategies, budgets, and campaign settings to reduce wasted spend and improve performance.
📊 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 & 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲
Accurate tracking is essential. I make sure Google Ads, GA4, GTM, Merchant Center, lead tracking, call tracking, and conversion actions are properly aligned so optimization decisions are based on reliable data.
🚀 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀
Once we identify profitable campaigns, keywords, products, audiences, and offers, I focus on scaling what is working while keeping CPA, ROAS, and overall profitability in mind.
If you're dealing with high CPA, poor ROAS, low-quality leads, wasted ad spend, or an underperforming Google Ads account, send me your website and current challenge.
I’ll show you where I see the biggest opportunities to improve performance.
Interested in moving forward?
1) Review my profile and client feedback
2) Send me an interview invitation, or message me with your website, monthly spend and service area
3) I'll send back two or three specific things I'd fix, free
4) If it fits, we do a 15 to 20 minute call and start with the audit
