250+ Google Business Profiles reinstated. I fix suspensions, duplicates, and verification failures that other marketers can't fast !
I work on high-risk Google issues where the wrong move can permanently damage visibility or disable an account. I don’t push generic AI content, shortcuts, or guesswork. I identify the root problem, fix it properly, and keep you compliant so you don’t get burned again.

Verification support
Fix inaccurate or harmful edits
NAP and category cleanup
Map Pack optimization
Duplicate suppression & removal

Soft & hard suspensions
Policy compliance reviews

Appeal risk assessment
Determining whether reinstatement is realistic or not
I focus on diagnosis and strategy first to avoid wasted appeals or permanent account disablement.
This is not ad management — it’s risk control.
✓ Local SEO (Supporting Role)
BrightLocal audits & heatmaps
Citation cleanup & consistency
Competitor analysis
Local intent keyword mapping
Review systems & reputation growth
✓ AI-Assisted (Used Carefully)
I use AI to speed up analysis and execution — not to replace judgment:
Keyword clustering & expansion
Competitor gap analysis
Content drafts & optimization
GBP post creation
Review sentiment analysis
Strategy, compliance, appeals, and decision-making are handled by me, not a bot.
Who I Work With
Law firms
Home service companies
Treatment centers
Property management firms
Local contractors
Multi-location businesses
I only take on cases I believe I can win.
No wasted time — for you or me.

That protects you — and it protects your account.

I've managed more than $1B in media spend as a Google Partner across Google Ads, PPC, Performance Max, Microsoft Ads, SEO, CRO, attribution, landing pages, and conversion tracking.
Companies usually hire me when Google Ads performance drops, CPA rises, lead quality declines, or revenue no longer aligns with ad spend.
I'm not a "set it and forget it" PPC manager. I specialize in diagnosing why marketing systems stop performing and identifying what needs to change to restore profitable growth.
Over nearly 20 years, I've worked with startups, mid-market companies, and enterprise brands across ecommerce, SaaS, healthcare, insurance, home services, lead generation, and enterprise retail.
Most engagements begin with a Google Ads audit, PPC account review, or strategic growth diagnostic, then evolve into longer-term advisory, performance, or fractional leadership.
What I Do Best
I help businesses answer questions like:
-Why did Google Ads performance drop, and what needs to change to recover?
-Why is CPA rising, and how can we improve efficiency?
-Why is Performance Max spending but not producing quality revenue?
-Why are leads coming in but sales or booked calls are not following?
-Is conversion tracking accurate, or are campaigns optimizing toward bad data?
-Where is wasted budget hiding across keywords, search terms, locations, audiences, or placements?
-Is the issue campaign structure, traffic quality, offer, landing page, or sales follow-up?
-What should be fixed, paused, reduced, restructured, or tested next?
My work typically includes:
-Google Ads audits
-PPC strategy
-Performance Max review and optimization
-Paid search campaign structure
-Search term and keyword analysis
-Conversion tracking audits
-GA4 and attribution review
-Landing page and funnel analysis
-CRO recommendations
-Budget allocation strategy
-Lead quality diagnosis
-Revenue growth analysis
Strategic Google Ads / PPC Diagnostic
A diagnostic is often the best starting point when paid media performance has slowed, become unpredictable, or stopped scaling.
A full diagnostic may include:
-Google Ads / paid media account review
-Performance Max analysis
-Search campaign structure review
-Conversion tracking audit
-Landing page and funnel analysis
-Geographic and audience inefficiencies
-Budget allocation review
-Search intent alignment
-Attribution gaps
-CRO opportunities
-Scaling constraints
-Revenue leak identification
Deliverables typically include:
-Loom walkthrough
-Live strategy call
-Prioritized findings
-Quick wins
-Strategic roadmap
-Clear recommendations
Select Experience
Diamond Resorts International - Built inbound acquisition and call tracking infrastructure that contributed to record lead growth during a major scaling period prior to acquisition by Apollo Global Management.
Blink Health - Built ecommerce acquisition from the ground up, scaling from zero to seven figures in monthly revenue during a key funding stage.
Game Server Hosting Category Leader - Long-term strategic partner during a 6+ year growth phase, helping scale Google Ads, paid acquisition, SEO, CRO, localization, and international expansion. Oversaw mid-six-figure annual media investment and worked directly with ownership on positioning and long-term marketing strategy.
Leesa Sleep - Supported launch strategy and paid acquisition across US and EU markets before transitioning into an advisory role as the internal team matured.
Health Insurance Company - Served as Fractional CMO overseeing lead generation, Google Ads, attribution, landing pages, funnel optimization, reporting, and marketing system alignment.
Credentials
-Google Partner
-SEMrush Partner
-CallRail Diamond Partner
-Upwork Top Rated
-Upwork Expert-Vetted
-On Upwork since 2011
-5-Star Reviews
Ideal Fit
I'm often brought in when leadership needs a senior outside perspective to identify what is no longer working in Google Ads, PPC, tracking, or the broader acquisition system.
I work best with companies that:
-Are actively spending on Google Ads or paid media
-Need a senior PPC and growth perspective
-Want to understand what is actually driving or limiting performance
-Need strategic clarity before scaling further
-Want clear recommendations, not generic campaign maintenance
If performance no longer makes sense, I can usually identify why quickly.

Hey — I’m Jonathan, founder of Bolo Advertising. I help small businesses, service providers, and educational institutions turn ad spend into measurable ROI with smarter, leaner Google Ads strategy.
Over the past few years, I’ve managed $2M+ in Google Ads spend across industries like home services, fitness, higher ed, and healthcare. From audits and account rebuilds to full campaign management, I’ve worked with brands looking to get better leads, reduce wasted budget, and scale with clarity.
No fluff. No confusing dashboards. Just ads that convert and transparency every step of the way.

🔧 Who I Work With:
Local service businesses (roofing, dental, home improvement, auto, etc.)
Entrepreneurs and coaches looking to grow with smart PPC
Anyone who’s been burned by agencies and wants real performance, not fluff
📊 Why Clients Hire Me:
$2M+ in spend managed with results across 25+ niches
Google Ads Certified + experienced in GTM, Analytics, and Meta
Transparent communication and weekly updates
Clear campaign architecture you’ll actually understand
I care about results — not just running ads
I’ve seen too many businesses pay $1,500–$3,000/month retainers for bloated ad management, only to get a vague report and zero clarity on ROI. That’s why I built Bolo — to offer high-level strategy without the nonsense.
Whether you need a full campaign build, a performance audit, or ongoing optimization, I’ll plug in where you need support most — and treat your business like it’s my own.
Let’s make your next ad campaign your best one yet.
