A specialist who opens

the account himself.

Looking for a Google Ads specialist rather than an agency layer? The person who audits your account is the person who rebuilds it and reviews it every week. Weekly plan on Monday, weekly report on Friday, a dashboard you can open any hour, and a written log of every decision. Free audit before any paid work.

Both usual options break in a predictable way.

People searching for a specialist have normally been through one of these already. The failure is structural, not personal — it comes from how the work is organised, not from who was hired.
  • 01

    You hire an agency and get a junior with a checklist

    The senior you met in the pitch is not the person who opens your account on Tuesday. Nobody says this out loud, and it is visible only in the change history: bulk edits at 3am, the same three recommendations accepted every month, no note explaining why.

  • 02

    You hire a freelancer and lose the account when they go quiet

    One person is the right shape for this work — until that person disappears mid-quarter and nothing is written down. No decision log, no dashboard, no way to hand over. The account survives on somebody's memory.

  • 03

    Nobody can tell you what changed last week

    Most accounts we audit have no record of decisions at all. Not a bad record — none. So the same failed experiment gets repeated twice a year, and every new contractor starts by relearning what the last one already knew.

  • 04

    Reporting arrives monthly, money leaves daily

    A monthly report tells you about spend that is already gone. If a broken tag or a runaway campaign takes three weeks to surface, the report is an autopsy, not a control.

One owner, with the paperwork of an agency.

The parts that make a single specialist safe rather than risky: everything written down, everything visible, nothing living only in someone's head.
  • 01no junior layer

    One senior owner, named

    The person who audits the account is the person who rebuilds it and the person who reviews it every week. No rotating PMs, no junior layer, no work passed down the chain.

  • 02weekly

    Weekly plan on Monday, weekly report on Friday

    The plan says what will be changed this week and what each change is expected to move. The report says what actually happened, including the hypotheses that failed.

  • 03

    An automated dashboard open 24/7

    Spend, leads, cost per lead, plan versus fact — readable any hour, without asking anyone. You do not wait until the end of the month to find out where you stand.

  • 04

    Every change logged with its reason

    A written decision log: what changed, when, why, and what it was expected to do. This is what makes a single owner safe rather than fragile — the account can be handed over without losing its history.

  • 05

    Search terms handled by hand

    Negatives and match types are decided by reading queries with category knowledge, not by a script that minuses anything with zero conversions. Wrong negatives cost more than missing ones.

  • 06free

    Free written audit before any paid work

    Read-only access, five working days, a written deliverable. It is yours whether or not you hire anyone afterwards.

Four phases, audit first.

The free audit is real work, not a sales call. The deliverable belongs to you whether or not you sign anything afterwards.
  1. 01

    Audit on read-only access

    01 · 5 working days

    The account, the measurement layer and the landing pages are read end to end. You get the written diagnostic before any money changes hands.

    • Written audit
    • Priority list
    • What we would not touch
  2. 02

    Measurement first

    02 · Weeks 1–2

    Conversions, GA4 pairing and consent are fixed before any bidding decisions. Optimizing against a lying signal is how accounts get worse while the dashboard improves.

    • Conversion audit
    • GA4 ↔ Ads reconciliation
    • Consent check
  3. 03

    Structure rebuilt in the open

    03 · Weeks 2–6

    Campaigns, match types and negatives are reworked in visible steps, each one entered in the decision log with its reason and its expected effect.

    • Decision log
    • Rebuilt structure
    • Negative governance
  4. 04

    Two levels of control

    04 · Ongoing

    Automation watches every day, the senior owner reviews every week, and once a quarter the whole structure is audited for what is stale, duplicated or worth switching off.

    • Weekly plan
    • Weekly report
    • Quarterly structure audit

Neighbouring scope.

Same senior, same weekly rhythm — a different slice of the account.

Shopping, PMax and feed work for online stores sits on the ecommerce page. If you are not sure which one fits, the free audit answers that before anything is decided.

Common questions, direct answers.

  • A person, with an agency's paperwork behind them. One senior owns your account and does the work. What you also get is the part freelancers usually skip: a written decision log, an automated dashboard, and a handover that does not depend on anyone's memory.

  • The decision log and the dashboard exist precisely for that. Every change is written down with its reason, so the account can be picked up by someone else without archaeology. That is the difference between one owner and a single point of failure.

  • Yes, and the audit is the sane way to start. Read-only access costs you nothing and does not disturb the current setup. If the account is in good shape we will say so — that answer has happened and it is a legitimate outcome.

  • Below roughly €5,000 a month in ad spend, a one-off audit is usually better value than a retainer: the management fee eats the improvement it produces. We will tell you that before you sign anything, not after.

  • Read-only access to Google Ads, and GA4 if it exists. Nothing else. We reply to the request with the exact access list.

Start with the audit. It is free.

Leave your details and we reply with the read-only access list. If there is no account yet, we look at the market, the offer and the site instead — same five working days, same written deliverable.
