Google Ads Management
for Brands Done Guessing

Most Google Ads accounts I audit are wasting 30 to 60% of their budget. I fix the structure, the tracking, and the strategy. I manage the account personally, every week. No handoffs. No junior account managers. Just the work.

Common Challenges

Is your ad account burning cash?

Wasted Ad Spend

Paying for clicks that never convert. Irrelevant search terms draining your daily budget.

Shopping Campaigns Not Converting

High impressions and clicks but poor ROAS. Your feed and bidding strategy need a rebuild.

Broken Conversion Tracking

GA4 and Shopify reporting different numbers. You are optimizing blind without reliable data.

Scaling Kills Your ROAS

Every time you increase budget, your return on ad spend drops. Scaling requires a different structure.

Previous Agency Underdelivered

Paid for management but got generic reports and no clear improvement in revenue or ROAS.

No Clear Reporting

You do not know which campaigns drive profit. No visibility into what is actually working.

"Most accounts I audit are wasting between 30% and 60% of their budget on irrelevant search terms and poor campaign structure. The fix is never more spend. It is better structure."

How I manage your account

01

Deep Audit and Strategy

I go through your current account and find exactly where money is leaking. Search terms, bidding strategy, campaign structure, tracking setup, feed quality. Everything gets reviewed before touching a single setting.

Deliverable

Account audit report and 90-day growth roadmap

02

Campaign Build and Setup

New campaign structure built from scratch or restructured. Conversion tracking verified end-to-end. Shopping feed cleaned. Search terms filtered. No generic Performance Max on autopilot.

Deliverable

Rebuilt account infrastructure with clean tracking

03

Weekly Optimization

Ongoing bid management, search term reviews, creative testing, and budget allocation. Monthly reports with plain-language insights. No vanity metrics. You always know what your money is doing.

Deliverable

Monthly performance report and strategy call

What I handle, end to end

Search Ads

High-intent keyword targeting. Tight match types and negative keyword lists that actually keep irrelevant traffic out.

Google Shopping and Performance Max

Feed optimization, product group structure, and bidding strategy built for ecommerce revenue. Not just clicks.

Remarketing

Bringing past visitors back with targeted display and search remarketing. Custom audience lists based on behavior, not just site visits.

Conversion Tracking Setup

GA4, Google Ads tag, and server-side tracking verified end-to-end. If the data is wrong, the optimization is wrong.

Product Feed Optimization

Title structure, attribute completeness, and feed health directly affect Shopping performance. Most feeds are underbuilt.

Monthly Reporting

Plain-language reports focused on revenue and ROAS. Not impressions or CTR. You know exactly what your budget is doing.

What I find in most accounts

The same five problems
show up in nearly every ecommerce account

After auditing dozens of ecommerce accounts running Google Ads, the issues are almost never random. They follow a pattern. Here is what I find most consistently.

01

Conversion tracking is broken or double-counting

Most accounts are optimizing on data they cannot trust. GA4 imports mixed with native Google Ads tags. Shopify's built-in tracking firing alongside GTM. The algorithm is learning from ghost conversions and you are paying for it.

02

No brand campaign — so PMAX steals branded traffic

Without a dedicated brand campaign, Performance Max cannibalizes your own brand searches and reports that ROAS back as if it earned it. You think non-brand is performing. It is not. The brand lift is hiding the real numbers.

03

One PMAX asset group covering everything

Running 500 or 1,000 products in a single asset group gives Google no signal on what to prioritize. The algorithm spreads spend evenly across products that have nothing in common. Segmenting by margin, category, or performance unlocks real efficiency.

04

Search campaigns still on Maximize Clicks

Maximize Clicks optimizes for cheap traffic. That is the wrong goal. Without a conversion-based strategy tied to actual purchase data, Search campaigns pile up sessions from people who were never going to buy.

05

Wrong product category in Google Merchant Center

Product categorization in GMC shapes which auctions you enter and which competitors you face. Miscategorized products put you in the wrong auctions and hand the algorithm bad context for Shopping placements. It is a small fix with a wide impact.

These are fixable. All of them. But only if they are found. That is what an audit is for.

Client Results

Real results from real clients

"Over three years, Dan scaled our Google Ads by 18x in budget while maintaining a consistent 4.5x ROAS throughout. Google Ads became our highest-performing revenue channel by a wide margin. His understanding of the jewelry vertical is at a level most specialists simply do not have."

"We are a Swiss fine jewelry brand and entering the US market felt like a real risk. Dan built the Google Ads strategy from scratch for the US. Within months we had consistent sales from American customers and our cost per acquisition was well within target. The US is now a core market for us."

Who manages your account

Dan Kabakov

I work almost exclusively with ecommerce brands: fine jewelry, fashion, and high-AOV products. After a decade managing Google Ads accounts, I have seen every algorithm change, platform update, and campaign type come and go.

I take on a small number of clients at a time. That means the person who scopes your account, builds your campaigns, and reviews your results every week is me. Not a junior account manager. Not a team you never meet.

My goal is simple: make your Google Ads spend your most predictable and profitable growth channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

I typically work with brands spending at least $5,000 per month on Google Ads. The sweet spot is $10,000 per month and up. Below this level, the management fee becomes a disproportionate share of the budget and results are harder to achieve. Not sure if you qualify? Request a free audit and we can figure it out.
Anyone can claim 10 years of experience and personal attention, and most freelancers do. Three things are harder to copy. A verifiable track record: I scaled one jewelry brand's Google Ads 18x over 3 years while holding 4.5x ROAS, and the case study is public. Specialist depth: ecommerce only, which means product feeds, conversion tracking, and Shopping structure are daily work, not occasional projects. And the actual job: Google's automation runs the execution either way. You're hiring the judgment that keeps it from making expensive decisions without knowing your margins and seasonality. A cheaper freelancer without that judgment doesn't cost less. The account just pays for it instead of the invoice.
Fair question, and it deserves a straight answer. Vacations are planned and announced to clients at least two weeks ahead, with campaigns prepared in advance, and I stay reachable for anything urgent. Every account I manage is documented: structure, naming, change history, and tracking setup live in the account itself, not in my head. Day-to-day bidding runs on Google's automation, so a well-built account doesn't fall apart in a week without manual input. In 10 years of client work this has not been an issue for a single account.
For accounts with existing history and data, improvements are typically visible within 30 to 60 days. New accounts or complete rebuilds need 60 to 90 days for the algorithm to gather enough data to optimize effectively. I set honest expectations from day one.
No. I charge a flat monthly retainer based on the scope of work, not a percentage of your budget. This removes the conflict of interest where an agency is incentivized to increase your spend regardless of performance.
You get a monthly performance report focused on the metrics that matter to your business: revenue, ROAS, conversion rate, and cost per acquisition. No vanity metrics. Reports are plain-language, not charts-for-the-sake-of-charts.
Yes. A one-time account audit is available if you want an independent review before committing to ongoing management. The audit covers campaign structure, search term analysis, tracking setup, feed quality, and a prioritized action plan. Get in touch to discuss.
Minimal. I handle everything inside the account. I need about 30 minutes from you at the start to align on goals, and then a monthly call to review results. Outside of that, I manage everything and reach out only when a decision needs your input.
