**Looking for a smart, honest PPC consultant** I run an online course and coaching business serving U.S. small business owners across several niches, and I'm looking for a really sharp PPC consultant to think through paid ads strategy with me — Google, Meta, YouTube, and possibly others. I have some digital marketing experience and a lot of ideas. What I need is someone smart enough to push back on me, friendly enough that we enjoy our calls together, and honest enough to tell me when I'm wrong. **The work, in two phases:** First, consulting conversations. I walk you through my situation, you advise, we make decisions together, and you help me get initial campaigns set up the right way — testing, analytics, tracking, sales funnel integration, smart use of AI and automation. Later, if we click, ongoing campaign consulting, which can evolve as our relationship grows. **You're probably a fit if:** - You go deep on Google, Meta, and YouTube ads and you stay current (I want to maximize our use of current best practices now in 2026, and onward) - You enjoy strategy conversations and also executing them - You're responsive and reliable — you follow up without being chased - You've marketed courses, coaching, or consulting offers to U.S. SMB audiences - You think about ads as part of a funnel, not as isolated campaigns - You're intellectually honest (will help me figure out what actually makes the most sense, instead of just telling me what you think I want to hear or what is easiest to say) **You're not a fit if:** - You're an agency (I'm only hiring an individual) - You only want to run a generic PPC playbook or a one-size-fits all campaign management gig - You're hard to reach or not committed to following up If you think this is a good fit for you, please tell me about similar projects you've done and the results, your approach, and how you think we could work together. Thanks!
