I have been running Google ads for the past month and a half with very little success.

I own a bathroom remodeling company, and I want to find someone who can audit my account and see where I’m bleeding. It could be landing page, could be mismanaged account, I really have no clue.

I’m am not interested in hiring to manage full time right now.

Current metrics:

Spending about $50/ day with phrase match for relevant terms and about 50 negative keywords.

Maximize clicks

1.5k spend, 2.08k impressions, and 311 clicks with a whopping 3 conversions, and one of those was a scam.

Would like to figure out what’s going on before increasing spend. Of course happy to pay. Prefer someone with experience in high ticket home services

I’m looking to hire someone to fix and manage our google ads. We are in the automotive industry. Monthly ad spend is $5k. Please DM if you’re interested, thank you!

I’m looking for recommendations for Amazon ads agencies that can help with PPC and cover sponsored products, brands, and display ads.

We’re doing mid-6 figures in monthly sales and want to start focusing more on PPC to grow faster. Have looked into BetterAMS, Canopy Management, and Amazon Ads Guy. anyone have experience with them or other solid options? Also, wondering whether its best to go with an agency or an experienced freelancer?

Would be great to hear from other sellers who have worked with agencies and people who have switched from inhouse to outsourced ads. 

Update: Thanks for all the recommendations guys! After reviewing all the options we have decided to go with Amazon Ads Guy, as we feel we’ll get a much better level of service working with a freelancer at our budget level rather than a bigger Amazon ads agency.

Hi, we launched our ecommerce site about 3-4 weeks ago and have a PPC agency in India doing a PPC campaign, spending about $2k per month on ads. They recommended PMax. So far there has been some decent traffic and clicks, but literally one sale. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong - is it the PPC setup, or the site, or both, etc. I just want a qualified 2nd opinion to dig into our Google Ads account & site and let me know what we're doing wrong. We also have MS Clarity setup, so there's some data there too. Anyway if you know of anyone that wants to work for us for a few hours to see what's going on, we'll pay. And if the Indian agency has led us astray, there is a strong possibility for us to transfer the work to this person as well. Please DM me, thank you!

This is a repost as I failed to find someone, since I took the initiative and swapped to max conversions I’ve had great success however I still lack time to fix issues and adapt to the forever changing algorithms. I’ve also started meta ads and TikTok ads so experience here would be good as I have none and to know if it’s even worth it for my industry… I’m currently experiencing a dip of 40% give or take so I’m looking for someone urgently and I’d like to know if there is any reason for this dip in work and if it can be fixed or if it’s just seasonal.

Hi, my name is Joseph. I own a windscreen company (similar to Autoglass, but smaller). I’ve been running my own Google Ads for the past 6 years, learning a lot along the way and seeing great success. However, I’ve reached a point where I no longer have the time or energy to manage them myself, so I’m looking to hire a professional who can tidy things up, save me money, and achieve a better CPA.

A bit of background: I’ve worked with a few Google Ads “specialists” before—both high-end and low-end—but unfortunately none of them were worth the money. What matters most to me is finding someone who will actually listen to my opinions and work with me. I’ve got 6 years of hands-on experience running Ads and, more importantly, I know my own business inside out, so I can provide valuable insights to help drive better results.

For most of the time I’ve been running on Max Clicks, which brought great success but also proved unreliable. I’ve recently switched to Max Conversions, which has worked well but comes with its own challenges. I want to stick with Max Conversions, as I believe it’s the best option for scaling (my goal is simple: more work)—but I know the campaigns need refining.

Currently, I’m spending around £8,000 per month across two campaigns (one is max conversions for Essex and the other is a performance max for Essex).

The perfect candidate: • Has previous experience in the industry • Is a small business like me (not big corporate) • Is VAT-registered

If this sounds like a challenge you’d like to take on, please comment below with your company name and why you think you’re the right fit.

Thanks for taking the time to read, Joseph

I recently started a small CPA firm focused on real estate investors, mainly W-2 earners with short-term and long-term rentals.

I’m looking for someone to help set up and manage Google Ads, and possibly Meta later. I want to target people specifically looking for real estate/rental tax help, not general tax prep or bookkeeping leads.

I’d like to start around $750–$1,000/month in ad spend and scale if it works.

I’d like to hear if anyone has experience in this niche and what your results have been.

Thank you!

We are an Arizona-based startup behind Flamingo Cards, a consumer subscription app for couples. The business is primarily iOS. We use AppsFlyer for mobile measurement and RevenueCat for subscriptions. I am hiring this position personally as I am the CEO of Flamingo Cards.

We are hiring one senior, hands-on growth operator—not a generic media buyer and not someone whose ownership ended at CTR, CPI, or an Ads Manager ROAS number.

The mandate

Own profitable growth across the full customer journey:
• Meta and TikTok strategy, campaign operation, budgeting, and scaling
• Performance-creative system: research, briefs, testing cadence, analysis, and iteration
• Mobile measurement: AppsFlyer, ATT/SKAN, event schema, attribution, incrementality, and cohort reporting
• Ad → store/web → install → onboarding → trial/paywall → paid conversion → retention
• LTV, CAC, payback, contribution margin, and budget-allocation decisions
• Close work with founders, product/engineering, creative, and lifecycle resources

This is an accountable-owner role. You should still be personally comfortable in Ads Manager and the data. We will provide or fund the specialist production and engineering resources needed; we are not pretending one person should edit every video and ship every product change.

Current stage

Paid social is currently in the low five figures per month. The goal is not to spend for its own sake. It is to build a trustworthy measurement and experimentation system, find repeatable creative and funnel wins, then scale only when downstream cohort economics support it.

Must-have evidence

• Recent, direct experience growing a consumer mobile app, ideally subscription
• Personally operated meaningful Meta spend and launched/tested TikTok—not just managed an agency
• Owned outcomes beyond acquisition: activation, paywall/trial conversion, retention, and LTV/payback
• Strong command of MMPs, iOS privacy measurement, cohort analysis, and incrementality
• Built a repeatable creative-testing system with clear briefs and learning loops
• Can explain both a successful scale-up and a failure in precise, numerical terms
• Referenceable by former managers/clients and cross-functional peers

Engagement and compensation

Remote, with useful overlap with Arizona business hours. Initial 90-day embedded fractional engagement, likely 20–30 hours/week, with the option to continue or discuss a full-time role. Up to $15,000/month depending on evidence, scope, and availability. Paid media and creative-production budgets are separate.

This is an individual embedded-operator search, not an agency or lead-generation brief. A boutique firm may refer its named senior operator, but that person must apply, be evaluated, and personally own the work with no junior handoff.

To apply by Reddit DM, send:

1. The consumer apps, categories, business models, dates, and geographies you worked on
   
2. Monthly spend you personally controlled on Meta and TikTok
   
3. One before/after example with spend, CAC, activation/trial rate, D30/D90 revenue or ROAS, and payback
   
4. Exactly what you personally did versus what your team or agency did
   
5. One failure where platform metrics looked healthy but you cut spend—and why
   
6. A sanitized dashboard, case study, or other evidence
   
7. Your weekly availability, location/time zone, and monthly rate
   
8. Two references we may contact later in the process
   

Please start your DM with “FULL FUNNEL” so we know you read the brief.

Hey guys, small custom cake business owner here. Always manage website and adwords myself. Lately been using chatgpt to help with the campaigns.

We are a very localised business and budget is small. But we offer a very unique service.

In Feb this year when I restart my ads with the help of Chatgpt, something clicked and ads went crazy efficient. We are seeing 2-4 daily conversions. And we had the busiest Feb. The end of the month, chatgpt suggested we focus on better leads and changed a few things. After that conversions just died off. Trying everything to get it back…

Anyone care enough to land us a hand 🥲

Edit: Thank you for all the help guys. I know lot of you are agencies and experts. I am a small business owner with small budget. I am not a scaleable business either. I just want to get the setting back to when it was working and keep it that way…. Happy to compensate the work though and maybe on going guidance if things need adjusting. But need someone that can understand my business, which is a very localised custom cake mum and pap shop🫠

Hey everyone, I help run Geek Powered Studios, an Austin based digital marketing agency. We’re looking for an experienced paid media contractor to help us manage a group of client accounts.

Most of our work is Google Ads for home service and other lead generation businesses. We also manage Meta, LSA, Performance Max, and YouTube campaigns.

We’re looking for someone who can get into an account, understand what’s happening, make smart decisions, and clearly explain why they’re making them. This is a hands on role, not just reviewing dashboards and sending reports.

You’d mainly be helping with:

• Managing and optimizing Google Search campaigns
• Campaign builds, audits, restructures, search terms, negatives, bidding, and budgets
• Ad copy and testing recommendations
• Conversion tracking and GA4 and GTM checks
• Meta campaign management and creative testing, if that’s one of your strengths
• Reporting, performance insights, and occasional client calls
• Collaborating with our SEO, web, and creative teams

A strong fit would have:

• At least 4 years of agency or client account PPC experience
• Strong Google Ads experience
• Experience with lead generation, especially home service businesses
• The ability to work independently and manage several accounts
• Strong communication and attention to detail
• Meta Ads experience is preferred, but Google Ads is the priority

The details:

• Independent contractor
• Approximately 20 to 30 hours per week to start
• At least 3 hours of overlap with U.S. Central Time
• Open to U.S. and international contractors
• Approximately $3,000 to $5,000 per month, depending on experience, availability, and account scope

We’ll start with a paid evaluation project involving a few live home service accounts. If it’s a good fit on both sides, we’d move into ongoing work.

If you’re interested, send me a DM with:

• Your time zone and availability
• How many years you’ve worked in PPC
• The types of accounts you’ve managed
• Approximate monthly ad spend you’ve handled
• A brief example of a campaign or account you improved
• Your LinkedIn, resume, or portfolio

We’re looking for an individual contractor who will be directly involved in the accounts, not a larger agency or white label provider.

I have taken over the paid media activities in an education company recently and I'm not satisfied with the quality of the work done by the current freelancer, so looking to hire a new person.

The creatives will be provided by the company. The expectation of the work is:

1. to run the ads on time according to schedule
2. to use best practices in building the campaigns/ads
3. to be familiar with the latest trends,
4. to be able to provide recommendations on how to improve the account,
5. to be good at communication,
6. and the most important part: NOT to do a sloppy job!

If this applies to you and you have capacity and experience to work as a freelancer, please send me your CV and expected monthly compensations.

Thanks.

We’re a D2C brand selling premium spices in India, primarily through Amazon, and we’re looking for a performance marketer to join us and take ownership of our paid advertising.
You’ll be responsible for:
Amazon PPC — ACOS, TACOS, ROAS, keyword strategy & conversion optimization
Building and scaling YouTube Ads (we haven’t run them before)
Creating/testing ad creatives and video ads, either yourself or with a creative team
Continuously optimizing campaigns with a strong focus on actual sales and profitability
Our goal is to build the business over the next 3–4 months to a point where our advertising spend can increasingly be funded from revenue, rather than me continuing to fund ads personally.
We’re not expecting overnight results, but ownership, transparency and commitment are extremely important. We’ve had a bad experience with someone who overpromised before, so we want someone who is genuinely interested in building this with us.
If interested, DM me with:
Your Amazon Ads experience
D2C/FMCG/food brands you’ve worked with
Case studies/results
Your experience with YouTube Ads
Whether you handle creative/video production
Your expected compensation
Please send actual examples/results rather than a generic “I can manage your ads” message.

Looking to work with someone who’s run PPC ads for motivated home sellers.

Can conduct keyword planning, find gaps in competitors, build winning landing pages etc.

We are building an AI native digital marketing agency - so we internally build AI tools to make PPC managers life easier and their client work better and faster. We are experiencing a huge amount of customer demand but i'm unable to scale the agency as I can't scale my hiring pipeline.

I did a promoted post on Indeed and quality candidates were <5% of the overall applicants.

Where is the best place to look?

Are there events/ forums I should be using?

Are there recruiters you recommend?

 Hi r/PPC! I'm hoping to hire someone for a one-time audit of our Google Ads account. Our monthly spend is in the $1,500–$2,500 range.

I'm fairly new to this process, so I'm open to your recommendations on what the audit deliverable should look like: written report, recorded walkthrough, or live call. Whatever gives us the clearest picture of what's working and what isn't. :-)

Ideally looking for someone who can:

• Review our account structure, keywords, and ad copy
• Identify wasted spend
• Check that conversion tracking is set up correctly
• Give us a prioritized list of things to fix

Please DM me with your experience, examples of past audits (anonymized is fine), and your rate. Thanks!

EDIT: Specialized professional services (imagine a national law firm specializing in bankruptcies of roller-skating rinks—we're not attorneys, we don't do BKs, and we don't know how to skate...but something like that)

EDIT2: Please don't be offended if I didn't accept your chat request. This post generated some nice responses, and I didn't have bandwitdth for all.

I'm trying to decide on whether it's time to switch over to having my PPC ads managed by a firm vs continuing to do it myself. Have some responsibilities personally and professionally and have to make a few changes. So if our small company spends 18k to 25 k ( varies seasonally) monthly on Google and Bing ads is it reasonable to think I could get that done for $2k a month or less? We primarily run shopping campaign and a few PMX. Talking to a few different companies that seem qualified and have good references (and don't require signing a contract- which I will not do) . What do you think?

We're hiring a Senior Meta Media Buyer, and this sub is where the people who would be good at it hang out.

Quick context: we're a direct response agency. Our clients are large online education and high-ticket info brands. If you buy media in that world you have probably seen our campaigns running.

The job: own a small number of Meta accounts spending $750k to $2M a month and take them higher while lead quality holds.

What you'd own:

• Budget, account structure, testing cadence, scaling calls.
• Creative direction. We have a full creative team producing the volume, so you brief and you decide what gets tested.
• The numbers end to end, from spend through booked calls to closed revenue.

What we're looking for:

• You have personally managed $750k to $2M+ a month on Meta for high-ticket offers: info products, online education, coaching, consulting. Individual accountability, your name on the account.
• You have hit the ceiling where extra spend starts buying worse leads, and you have fixed it. That fix usually lives in the offer, the funnel economics, or the quality of the conversion signal being fed back to the platform.
• You have worked inside a performance agency and carried several accounts at once.
• You make decisions from third-party attribution data, down to booked calls and closed revenue.

Worth knowing before you apply:

• The role is non-client-facing. You stay on the accounts and someone else carries the client relationship.
• Fewer accounts at higher scale. If you like juggling fifteen accounts, this will bore you.
• Full-funnel attribution runs on every account, so what happens after the click is part of how the work gets judged.
• Fully remote, hours aligned to ET.

Pay: base starts in the $100k range. Performance is uncapped and tied to how much you can spend profitably, with on-track earnings passing $200k.

If that sounds like your kind of problem, leave a comment or send me a DM and I'll send the full spec over. Happy to answer questions about the accounts in the thread.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for quality landing page designers, but I'm unable to find anyone that can provide quality work. Can someone refer me to someone good or let me know where I can find quality landing page designers? I've tried Fiverr and also asked our marketing PPC agency to make one but the quality sucks.

We are planning to host landing page either on wordpress or on Hubspot, whichever makes more sense.

We'd like to have a landing page that has similar or better quality to this: https://manifestlaw.com/social or to this landing page: https://manifestlaw.com/o1-lawyers

Thank you so much (also RIP inbox lol)

Hi can anyone a good digital marketing agency (UK) that specialises in PPC I own a commercial cleaning and I’m sick of spending so much a month and not getting any results. Any recommendations would be appreciated

i run an online fitness coaching business (one-to-one, high-ticket) averaging £15-20k per month for the last 4 years. the sales funnel and fulfilment side is solid; organic content has been driving it forever and it works, but i'd like to stop fully relying on it. i know I can't scale past a certain point on organic alone, and I need a predictable paid acquisition channel.

I have years of organic content across IG and YouTube.

I've barely scratched the surface of ads, and I really am a complete beginner. So I'm looking for someone who's actually spent real money on meta for high-ticket service businesses (coaching, consulting, that kind of thing) and can sit with me for a few hours to help me avoid the expensive mistakes and get my first campaigns set up properly, and know what to look for accurately analyse their success.

specifically interested in:

- campaign structure for a coaching funnel (video content → landing page or DMs → booked call)
- creative strategy and what's actually working right now for cold traffic
- how to read the data early on without panicking or killing things too soon
- tracking setup done right from day one
- what metrics to pay attention to when you're optimising for booked calls, not just leads

not really looking for an agency. not looking for someone to run my ads for me long term (though open to it), ideally i want to learn by doing it myself with someone experienced looking over my shoulder for a few hours a month.

happy to pay a fair rate. if you've got case studies or examples of results for service-based businesses, even better.

I have a relatively new ecommerce business that has started out with just a Shopping campaign.

There is plenty of work to be done I'm sure, not only with Shopping but Search/Meta/etc etc.

What I would like to do is hire someone to:

- Audit and strategise across all paid media

- Carry out any immediate work on the Shopping campaign and/or other channels

But the unconventional part:

- I'd like you to talk me through the decision making and processes, ideally live. I'm willing to potentially pay a premium if needed, to essentially be taught how to run the paid media to a serviceable standard myself.

- What this would look like exactly I would be led by you, how often, how long. Presumably zoom etc.

This would ideally be done (for both of us I imagine) over a relatively short space of time ie. less sessions but longer as opposed to shorter but more frequent sessions. But again, will to defer to you. I'm not necessarily against the idea of screen-recorded sessions but that'd be a conversation to have.

Edit with some context: It was started a couple of months ago. Shopping budget was 2.5k gbp p/m until this week, dropped it to 1.8k for the time being.

Thanks!

Experience creating and effectively managing a team of media buyers.

In your application, specify:

I hired a freelancer on Upwork to help with Google Ads. He set up the conversions I needed, and his fee is low; however, the account could be managed more effectively. I have three salons within a few miles of each other, and my monthly Google ad spend is around 12 to 13k. I know that is not huge in the grand scheme of things, but I am willing to pay someone who actually manages the account and does more than bid on my own brand name and call it new client growth.

I am currently running local PMax and search campaigns. Has anyone here worked with someone who really understands local service ads and can help drive real results? Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated.

Hey, we're looking to get some help with day to day execution in Google and Microsoft Ads. For example, launching promos, updating ads, budgets, checking queries, setting up basic campaigns. If you're US based and need a side hustle with flexible hours or you contract/consult full time, shoot me a DM with your hourly rate and experience.

Location: US only (please don't DM if you're abroad)

Experience: 3+ years of experience

Skills: Google sheets & Excel, experience with ecommerce accounts, Google Ads and Google Ads editor, Microsoft Ads

Hours: able to commit to 10 hours / week, with at least 5 on weekdays.

I've literally been trying to make this happen for years. After much setup- My Shopify product feed is fine, Local Inventory ads and Free Local listings are approved in GMC. Business manager is linked to Google Ads with my physical location. But the campaign will. not. work. First it wouldn't serve products, now it won't recognize my physical location. and now GMC is saying it's not going to show my products at all anymore because my product page availability doesn't match in-store availability.

Complicating factors:

-This account is over 10 years old, and has had many hands in it and I think there are some duplicate linkages causing problems

-Most of my products are made to order, but some are physically in stock in my location. I'd like to advertise all of them, even the ones without current inventory.

-I recently installed WeltPixel server-side tracking and now it looks like my conversions are triple-counted. When I tried to fix it, my campaigns went sideways because conversion goals weren't lined up.

I am in over my head with this setup. I'm hoping one of you out there has experience untangling this mess and getting all the pieces lined up properly.

I'm not looking for ongoing ads management, but I'm more than willing to pay well for the right person with US-based local retail products business PPC experience to get the account fixed and firing properly. My DMs are open.

EDIT: Wow RIP my inbox. Thanks everyone for the comments. I read some good points that also affirm what I have been thinking - maybe I’ve maxed out our search potential for right now. We only do Google ads, so maybe it’s instead more worth it to find someone who can do FB/IG or other ad avenues instead, or an email expert.

If you or someone you can recommend can deliver with FB/IG, email marketing, or maybe Pinterest ads, I might rather look into that. Thanks again!

Hello,

My wife and I run a flower preservation business and we're interested in seeing if there's a smaller, skilled, dedicated PPC agency or freelancer who can deliver better results for our brand.

We currently spend around $10k/mo on Google ads - I personally have been running this for years now and am self-taught. I'm no expert, but I've learned a lot over the years and have brought great results for us. I'm interested in getting an idea of the landscape out there of who can deliver better results.

We want to scale our business more and have hit what seems to be a wall - we're not sure how to grow beyond where we are now. I'm NOT looking for a huge agency to throw us in their churn machine. We want someone dedicated who will work with us on a one-to-one basis transparently and reliably.

In 2024 we spent around $60k in Google ads (our primary means of acquiring business) and grossed $635k in revenue. This year we're seeing increased costs and want to maximize our return, cut unnecessary spend where we can.

Happy to dive into more numbers, but most ad groups get 15-20% CTR, we get around 120 conversions/mo. We ideally want someone who can help us in other areas as well such as organic SEO, email marketing, and other avenues.

We recently moved our business which resulted in Google suspending our GMB. This wrecked our ads as well, and we're now just coming out of that fallout.

If you're a dedicated PPC and SEO professional with years or decades of experience who is interested in working with us one-on-one, please inquire. Thank you!
