Google Ads turnaround

For accounts where performance has fallen and nobody can agree why. I take ownership of the recovery: stabilise spend, fix the conversion signals bidding learns from, rebuild campaign structure in a controlled sequence, and report progress weekly against an agreed baseline. Typical engagements run 30 to 90 days.

I have led recovery work on accounts spending six figures a month, including rebuilding value-based bidding from the ground up and unwinding double-counted conversions that had been training the algorithm on fiction.

Guardrails are set from your economics, cohort revenue and confirmed margins, not gut feel. Nothing goes back into a learning phase without advance notice, and the weekly report states the action being taken on every metric, not just the movement.

The sequence

  • Stabilise: stop the bleeding, protect what converts, cut what demonstrably does not
  • Fix the signals: conversion actions, deduplication, attribution, consent, so bidding learns from real sales
  • Rebuild: structure, bidding and budgets changed in a controlled order, one variable at a time where possible
  • Scale: only once the account is reading true and the unit economics support it

Common questions

Why not just let the agency handle it?
Sometimes the agency is part of the answer and I direct their work. Sometimes the account needs a fresh, independent pair of hands. The diagnosis decides, not loyalty in either direction.
What if the problem is not Google Ads?
Then I will tell you that, with the evidence, and point you at the real one. About half of the recoveries I have run started somewhere other than where everyone was looking.
