Services · Paid Media

Paid media that pays its way.

Google, Meta and LinkedIn will spend whatever you give them. I restructure accounts around margin, test messages before scaling them, and move budget to what returns.

What I look at first

The questions behind the numbers

  • Whether conversion tracking matches what finance sees
  • Account structure against product margin
  • Search terms and placements that spend without converting
  • Which messages and audiences have been tested, and which assumed
  • Landing page conversion rates by campaign
  • The split of spend across channels, and why it is what it is
