Looking for a U.S.-Based Meta and Google Ads Expert for Hourly Consulting I am looking for an experienced U.S.-based Meta and Google Ads professional who can provide ongoing consulting on an hourly basis. I have managed my own advertising campaigns for approximately 10 years and genuinely enjoy working on them. I am not looking to hand over or outsource my accounts. Instead, I need someone knowledgeable who can review my campaigns, answer questions, help troubleshoot issues, and offer strategic guidance as I continue refining my advertising. This would ideally be an ongoing monthly arrangement, with a few consulting hours as needed. My goal is to continue building the online visibility of my companies while improving targeting, tracking, campaign structure, creative strategy, and overall performance. Experience with Meta Ads, Google Ads, conversion tracking, Google Tag Manager, remarketing, and lead-generation campaigns is strongly preferred.

# Google Ads Expert Needed for Local Service Business (Management, Optimization & Conversion Tracking) I'm looking for an experienced Google Ads specialist to take over and manage our Google Ads account for a growing local service business. We previously worked with a Google Ads manager, but communication was extremely limited. We received almost no updates, reports, or explanations of what was being done to improve performance. I'm looking for someone who takes a much more proactive approach. ### About Our Business We are a custom metal fabrication and mobile welding company serving the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas. We specialize in: * Custom railings * Mobile welding * Structural steel fabrication * Aluminum & stainless welding * Commercial and residential metal fabrication Our goal is to generate qualified local leads—not online product sales. ### What I'm Looking For I'm looking for someone who can take ownership of our Google Ads account and continually optimize it for better lead quality and ROI. Responsibilities include: * Ongoing Google Ads management and optimization * Keyword research and expansion * Search term optimization * Negative keyword management * Bid strategy optimization * Ad copy testing and improvement * Landing page recommendations (if needed) * Budget management * Competitor analysis * Local service targeting ### Conversion Tracking (Very Important) One of my biggest priorities is getting accurate tracking in place. I don't just want to know how many phone calls we receive. I want to track: * Calls generated from Google Ads * Which calls become actual customers * Which leads turn into paying jobs * Website form submissions * Quote requests * Contact form completions * Email inquiries * Website traffic generated from Google Ads * Cost per qualified lead * Cost per booked job (where possible) If additional setup is needed (Google Tag Manager, GA4, call tracking, conversion imports, CRM integration, etc.), I'd like your help implementing it correctly. ### Communication Expectations This is extremely important to me. I'm **not** looking to manage the account myself. I want to hire someone I can trust to run it. However, I do expect consistent communication. Ideally: * Monthly performance reports * A monthly phone or Zoom call (15–30 minutes) * Clear explanations of what changed, why it changed, and what results we're seeing * Recommendations for continued improvement I never want to wonder what's happening with my advertising. ### Experience Required Please apply only if you have experience with: * Google Ads for local service businesses * Lead generation campaigns * Conversion tracking * GA4 * Google Tag Manager * Call tracking * ROI optimization Bonus points if you've worked with contractors, construction companies, fabrication shops, welding companies, or other home/commercial service businesses. ### Budget I'm flexible on management fees and more interested in long-term ROI than finding the cheapest option. When applying, please include: * Examples of local service businesses you've managed * Typical results you've achieved * Your reporting process * How you handle communication with clients * Any certifications or relevant experience I'm looking for a long-term partner who can continuously improve our campaigns and help generate more qualified local leads while providing transparent communication and measurable results.

I’m looking for an experienced Google Ads contractor to help support and optimize search campaigns for my digital marketing clients. This will start as a small, ongoing hourly role of about 5–7 hours per month, with the potential to grow as we bring on more accounts. I have managed Google Ads campaigns myself, so I’m looking for someone who is knowledgeable, transparent, and able to provide practical recommendations — not someone who simply checks boxes or overcomplicates things. Responsibilities may include: Helping set up new Google Search campaigns Reviewing and optimizing existing campaigns Keyword research and negative keyword updates Ad copy recommendations and testing Conversion tracking setup and troubleshooting Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics support Monthly or periodic performance reviews Clear communication about what is working, what needs improvement, and why Experience with Facebook Ads and TikTok Ads is a plus, but Google Search campaign experience is the main priority. This is a long-term contractor role for someone who is detail-oriented, honest, and comfortable working with a marketing consultant who understands the basics of campaign management. If the first few projects go well, there will likely be ongoing work across multiple client accounts. Please include examples of Google Search campaigns you’ve managed, your experience with conversion tracking, and your hourly rate.
