PPC Campaign Strategist

Most paid search accounts are built once, left alone, and quietly cap out, campaign structure, match types, and bidding rules that made sense at a small budget start working against you as spend grows. This service rebuilds the account's architecture and bidding strategy around how it actually needs to scale across Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Ads, not how it happened to get set up. It's for teams who feel like they're paying more for the same results, or who know their account structure is a patchwork nobody fully understands anymore. The end state is a account that can absorb more budget without a proportional increase in wasted cost, with a clear owner and logic behind every campaign.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

1
Pull account structure, spend, and conversion data to find exactly where budget is wasted and where the current setup structurally caps performance.
2
Restructure one campaign group or product line under a new architecture and bidding approach against an agreed target CPA or ROAS.
3
Compare pilot performance to baseline in plain numbers before touching the rest of the account.
4
Roll the winning structure out account-wide, configure bid automation, and monitor weekly as spend scales.
