Google Ads shouldn't just generate clicks. It should generate qualified phone calls, booked jobs, and revenue. I help plumbers, HVAC companies, roofers, electricians, dentists, junk removal companies, landscapers, law firms, and other local service businesses turn Google Ads into a consistent source of qualified leads. Over the last 5 years, I’ve managed $3.75M+ in ad spend and worked exclusively with local service businesses across the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. Most business owners come to me after the same experience. They tried Google Ads. Spent thousands. Got clicks. Didn’t get enough phone calls or booked jobs. And assumed Google Ads doesn’t work for them. In reality, the issue is almost always setup, targeting, tracking, or optimization — not the platform itself. I’ve spent the last 5 years focusing only on Google Ads for local service businesses. No eCommerce. No SaaS. No general marketing. Just lead generation for local service companies. And the goal is simple: more qualified calls and booked jobs at a profitable cost. WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME ✔ $3.75M+ Google Ads spend managed ✔ 40+ five-star reviews from verified clients ✔ 30+ video testimonials from real clients ✔ Google Ads certified (Search, Display, Video) ✔ Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score ✔ YouTube channel with 2,200+ subscribers (Google Ads training content) ✔ Deep focus on one niche: local service lead generation WHAT I DO ✔ Google Ads campaign setup and management ✔ PPC strategy focused on qualified leads and phone calls ✔ Conversion tracking (GTM + GA4) ✔ Account audits and optimization ✔ Landing page feedback and improvement suggestions ✔ Keyword research and competitor analysis ✔ Clear monthly reporting INDUSTRIES I WORK WITH HVAC | Plumbing | Roofing | Electrical | Landscaping | Pest Control | Dental | Legal | Junk Removal | Auto Repair | Garage Doors | Demolition | Hydroseeding | Home Services IDEAL CLIENT ✔ Local service business in the USA, UK, Canada, or Australia ✔ Monthly ad budget of $1,500+ ✔ Focused on long-term growth, not quick experiments ✔ Using GoHighLevel, WordPress, or Wix WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Barkat has been a huge help for this PPC campaign.

✔️ Certified Google Partner, 250+ businesses over 14 years ✔️ $8.5M+ in revenue generated for clients through Google Ads ✔️ I optimize to real revenue and signed customers, not just clicks ✔️ Specialist in local lead generation and ecommerce growth I turn Google Ads from a cost that frustrates you into your most profitable channel. Not by tweaking bids, but as a marketing strategist who fixes the whole picture most freelancers never look at. Here's what makes me different from most Google Ads freelancers on here: First, I'm a marketing strategist, not just an ad operator. Most people only know the ads, so when the ads don't convert, they're stuck. I understand the whole picture, the offer, the funnel, the tracking and the landing page, so I can find and fix what's actually stopping your ads from making money, not just tweak bids and hope. Second, I optimize to real sales, not clicks. I connect your ads to what actually happens after the click, the real customers who buy, so the system learns to chase profit instead of clicks that just look good in a report. Your budget goes toward people who actually buy, not vanity metrics. Third, I build the landing pages, and as many as it takes. Most Google Ads people send all your traffic to one generic page. I build dedicated, high-converting pages matched to exactly what each customer is searching for, which means higher conversion rates and better quality leads. Take a look at some recent successes over the last 14 years: 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒 🚀 Commercial roofing → lifted the qualified conversion rate from 0.9% to 8.6% and grew qualified leads fivefold 🚀 Plumbing → monthly leads from 16 to 67, cost per lead down 67%, at 300%+ ROI 🚀 Home improvement → leads from 25 to 110, cost per lead down from £155 to £59 🚀 eCommerce Footwear → scaled to $3 Million in six months. 🚀 eCommerce Furniture → £72.3K per month revenue at 7.16X ROAS 🚀 B2B Fundraising → monthly leads from 38 to 410 in six months at 60% lower CPA Don’t take my word for it: Mark @ IT Solutions ★★★★★ -- "Christian is a true expert in AdWords. Our cost per conversion dropped significantly while our leads increased, saving us thousands each month by eliminating wasted clicks. The transparency is brilliant, and we now consider them a long-term partner." Harry @ Heaton Group ★★★★★ -- " From the outset they took the time to really understand our business. Detailed, well-structured, clearly tailored to our needs, and the quality of work exceeded expectations. It's rare to find strategic thinking with such a strong grasp of the detail." Josette @ Faye Digital ★★★★★ -- "Working with Christian on our Google Ads project was an absolute pleasure. Extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and truly invested in our success. Christian walked us through every step, with insights and feedback that helped us optimize our campaigns effectively. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a strategic, results-driven advertising partner." 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐄'𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 1. A quick call to understand your business and where the biggest wins are. 2.

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.

Let's talk. ANALYZE. IDENTIFY. EXECUTE. TRACK. This is my approach when it comes to managing my client's existing Adwords campaigns. In order to provide value and run an effective marketing campaign on any level, you have to first do a thorough ANALYSIS of the current situation. This allows me to IDENTIFY gaps between the current performance of a given marketing campaign and the potential performance - where you currently are at and where you want to be. Once areas of improvement have been identified, a strategic plan can be created and EXECUTED. Of course, the only way to measure results is to TRACK them. Tracking data allows for better understanding of the impact of an executed plan, which in turn provides the feedback needed to make appropriate changes going forward. I utilize my creative and analytical skill set as a means to help businesses increase their ROI and get as much value as possible from their digital marketing strategies. TYPICAL WORK I PERFORM FOR CLIENTS: - Comprehensive account management for Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Facebook/Instagram and LinkedIn. - Audit a client's existing PPC contractor to be a "second set of eyes" and to see if the contractor is doing what is expected of him/her. - Account and campaign setup from scratch - including initial keyword research, market research, fully understanding client's goals for the account and anything else that is needed in order to get a campaign ready to go live. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
