Book Your Strategy Call TodayFrequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about working with a PPC specialist vs. traditional agencies.
What makes you different from traditional PPC agencies?
Unlike agencies with multiple layers and junior staff, you work directly with me - a senior PPC specialist with 8+ years of experience. This means faster implementation, better communication, and no diluted expertise. You get the same person who strategizes your campaigns and optimizes them daily.
What kind of results can I expect from working with you?
While results vary by business, I've consistently delivered 300-400% ROAS across different industries. At Bloomstories, I achieved 5x monthly sign-up growth and 350% ROAS. At Dagamma, I maintained sub-$8 CPA while scaling to $300K+ monthly budgets. I focus on sustainable, profitable growth rather than vanity metrics.
Which platforms do you specialize in?
I specialize in Google Ads (Search, Display, Shopping, YouTube) and Meta Ads (Facebook, Instagram). I also have experience with Apple Search Ads, Spotify Ads, and LinkedIn Ads. My expertise covers both B2B and B2C campaigns across various industries including SaaS, e-commerce, BFSI, and automotive.
What's your minimum budget requirement?
I typically work with businesses spending at least $10K/month on paid advertising. This ensures there's enough data for meaningful optimization and justifies the level of strategic attention your campaigns deserve. For businesses ready to scale beyond $50K/month, I provide dedicated account management.
How do you charge for your services?
I offer flexible pricing models: percentage of ad spend (typically 15-20%) or flat monthly fee starting at $1,200 depending on scope and complexity. Unlike agencies, there are no setup fees, contracts require just 30-day notice, and you own all account assets. Pricing reflects the value delivered, not agency overhead.
How quickly can we start seeing improvements?
Initial optimizations begin within the first week, with meaningful performance improvements typically visible within 2-4 weeks. Major strategic pivots (like new campaign structures) may take 4-6 weeks to show full impact. I provide weekly reports so you can track progress and understand what's driving results.
Do you work with businesses in my industry?
I've successfully managed campaigns across diverse industries: SaaS (Bloomstories), e-commerce (Dagamma), automotive, BFSI, education, and health/wellness. My strategic approach adapts to different business models, whether it's B2B lead generation, e-commerce sales, or subscription growth.
What level of access and reporting do I get?
You get full transparency: shared access to all ad accounts, weekly performance reports with insights and recommendations, and direct communication with me (no account managers). I believe in educating clients about what's working and why, so you understand the value being delivered.
How do I hire you as my Google Ads Manager?
The process is simple: 1. Book a free 30-minute strategy call. 2. I'll audit your current account. 3. If we're a good fit, we start with a 3-month initial engagement. I handle everything from strategy to daily optimization.
Why hire a freelance Google Ads Manager over an agency?
When you hire an agency, you pay for their overhead and often get assigned a junior account manager. When you hire me, you get direct access to a senior expert with 8+ years of experience for a fraction of the cost. No middleman, just results.
