Performance Marketing Consultant

Performance Marketing Consultant for Google and Meta Ads

Turn paid media data into clearer budget decisions. I help ecommerce, retail and service teams improve Google Ads and Meta Ads across account structure, measurement, creative and landing pages, with hands-on implementation or ongoing management when needed.

Performance marketing should show where the next part of your budget is most likely to create profitable demand. I connect channel strategy, tracking, creative, offers and landing pages so decisions are based on commercial outcomes rather than platform metrics alone.

How the work connects campaign activity to commercial decisions

View paid media case studies
  1. 01

    Define the economics

    Confirm margin, customer value, lead quality and an acceptable acquisition cost before judging performance.

  2. 02

    Correct the measurement

    Review conversion actions, attribution assumptions and reporting gaps that can distort budget decisions.

  3. 03

    Restructure the account

    Organise products, offers, audiences and tests within a clear account structure so performance can guide budget decisions.

  4. 04

    Test and scale

    Move spend toward stronger signals, control weaker activity and feed each result into the next test.

The 6.9× purchase ROAS and $1.3M+ in Meta-attributed website purchase value relate to the D2C wellness brand. The 3.5×+ purchase ROAS is one campaign example within a separate D2C account I managed at around US$100K in average monthly spend. The 5.5x Google Ads ROAS covers April 2021 and uses CRM and sales reporting with last-touch attribution. Results cover selected performance reporting periods; past performance does not guarantee future results.

01

Build the account around commercial priorities

Channel metrics only become useful when they connect to the way your business makes money. I review the economics behind the campaigns, then organise targets and reporting around revenue, margin, customer value, lead quality and the role each channel should play.

  • Translate revenue and margin targets into workable acquisition thresholds
  • Separate useful conversion actions from low-value platform signals
  • Identify which products, services, audiences and markets deserve budget
  • Define reporting that supports decisions instead of collecting more dashboards
02

Give Google Ads and Meta Ads a clear role

Google and Meta capture and create demand in different ways. The right structure depends on the offer, buying journey, available creative and measurement quality—not on forcing every campaign into the same model.

Google Ads

Review Search, Performance Max, Display and remarketing where relevant, with budget organised around intent, value and conversion quality.

Meta Ads

Structure product, offer, audience and creative testing so learning remains visible as stronger campaigns scale.

Audience and remarketing

Use exclusions, first-party signals and journey stage to reduce overlap and give follow-up activity a defined purpose.

Budget allocation

Move spend using ROAS, CAC, CPA, lead quality and commercial capacity rather than reacting to isolated daily changes.

03Measurement and profitability

Fix measurement before increasing spend

A platform can report strong performance while the business sees weak revenue or poor-quality enquiries. I check what is being counted, how values are assigned and where the reporting loses the connection between an ad click and a commercial outcome.

  • Review primary and secondary conversion actions across advertising and analytics platforms
  • Check tracking coverage, duplication, attribution assumptions and consent-related gaps
  • Connect campaign reporting with revenue, margin, qualified leads or customer value where data allows
  • Document limitations so apparent precision is not mistaken for reliable evidence
04

Improve what happens after the click

Campaign optimisation cannot compensate for an unclear offer or a difficult landing-page journey. I review the message, page experience and conversion path alongside the account so the ad and destination support the same decision.

Landing-page alignment

Match the promise in the ad with the page headline, evidence, offer and next step so visitors do not have to reconstruct the message.

Offer and journey review

Identify friction in product, enquiry, booking or checkout flows that may be limiting the value of otherwise qualified traffic.

Creative and message testing

Turn audience questions, offer angles and previous results into a controlled test plan rather than an unstructured stream of new ads.

05

Choose the level of support your team needs

The work can begin with a focused diagnosis or continue through implementation and ongoing management. We agree the channels, access, responsibilities and decision cadence before starting, so your team knows what I will manage directly and where internal input is needed.

Account audit and action plan

A focused review of account structure, measurement, budget allocation, creative, offers and landing pages, followed by prioritised actions.

Implementation project

Hands-on restructuring, tracking corrections, campaign builds, test setup and landing-page recommendations for the agreed priorities.

Ongoing management and advisory

Regular optimisation, testing, reporting and budget decisions, either managed directly or delivered alongside your internal team.

Scope and fees

The scope depends on the channels, monthly spend, account condition, tracking setup, number of markets and the level of implementation or management required. I confirm the deliverables, access, responsibilities, fee and working cadence before the engagement begins. Media spend remains separate and is paid directly to the advertising platforms.

Performance Marketing Consultant FAQs

Which advertising channels do you work with?

Google Ads and Meta Ads are the main channels covered by this service. Depending on the business and scope, the work can also consider LinkedIn, display, remarketing and other paid-social activity where those channels have a clear role.

Can you audit an account without taking over management?

Yes. An audit can be delivered as a standalone engagement with prioritised findings, measurement issues and recommended budget or campaign changes. I can also implement the agreed work or continue into ongoing management if that is more useful.

Can you implement the recommendations?

Yes. With the required access, I can restructure campaigns, correct tracking, build agreed tests and support landing-page changes directly. I can also work with an internal or agency team when ownership is shared.

How do you measure performance marketing?

The measurement framework depends on the business model. It can include revenue, contribution margin, ROAS, CAC, CPA, qualified-lead rate and customer value, with platform metrics used as supporting diagnostic signals rather than the final definition of success.

Do you work with businesses outside the GCC?

Yes. I support teams operating across GCC countries and international markets. Channel strategy, account structure, measurement and creative priorities are adapted to the markets, audiences and commercial context involved.

Is advertising spend included in the consulting fee?

No. Media spend is paid directly to Google, Meta or the relevant platform. The consulting or management scope covers the agreed strategy, implementation, optimisation and reporting work.
