What is SEM

Intent-based advertising.
The highest-quality traffic you can buy.

Search engine marketing puts your business in front of people at the exact moment they are searching for what you offer. Unlike social media ads that interrupt people who weren't looking, SEM captures demand that already exists.

Every click comes from someone who typed a relevant query into Google — which means higher intent, better conversion rates, and more efficient ad spend compared to almost any other channel.

With 8+ years managing Google Ads campaigns across e-commerce, automotive, and local businesses, I build search campaigns that match your budget to the queries most likely to become customers.

What's included

Everything from strategy to reporting.

Keyword research and strategy

Deep research into the queries your ideal customers actually type — including competitive analysis, search volume, and intent classification to identify the terms worth bidding on and the ones to avoid.

Ad copy and creative testing

Compelling headlines and descriptions written to match search intent and outperform competitors. Ongoing A/B testing to continuously improve click-through rates and Quality Scores.

Campaign build and structure

Clean, logical campaign architecture — ad groups, match types, negative keyword lists, and bidding strategy — built to give Google the signals it needs to serve your ads to the right people.

Bid management and optimization

Weekly bid adjustments, budget pacing, device and location bid modifiers, and audience overlays to maximize conversions at the lowest possible cost per lead or sale.

Conversion tracking setup

GA4, Google Tag Manager, and call tracking configured so every form fill, phone call, and purchase is attributed back to the exact keyword and campaign that drove it.

Transparent reporting

Clear monthly reports showing impressions, clicks, conversions, cost per lead, and ROAS — with plain-English explanations of what changed, why, and what's planned next.

How it works

From first call to first conversion in four steps.

1

Discovery and audit

We start with a free 20-minute strategy call to understand your goals, your customers, and your competitive landscape. If you have an existing Google Ads account, I audit it for wasted spend and missed opportunities before we build anything new.

2

Strategy and build

I build your campaign architecture from scratch — keyword research, match type strategy, ad groups, negative keyword lists, ad copy, and bidding strategy — all aligned to your specific conversion goal and budget.

3

Launch and optimize

Campaigns go live with close monitoring in the first two weeks — the most critical period for any new campaign. I make data-driven adjustments daily at launch, then weekly as performance stabilizes and patterns emerge.

4

Report and scale

Monthly reporting keeps you informed without overwhelming you. As campaigns prove ROI, we identify opportunities to scale budget, expand to new keywords, or layer in additional campaign types to grow results.

Campaign types

The right campaign for every goal.

Search campaigns

Text ads triggered by specific keyword searches. The highest-intent campaign type — ideal for lead generation and capturing buyers actively researching your product or service.

Shopping campaigns

Product listing ads for e-commerce. Shows your product image, price, and store name directly in Google search results — perfect for Shopify and WooCommerce stores.

Performance Max

Google's AI-driven campaign type that serves ads across Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, and Gmail from a single campaign. Best for e-commerce and automotive clients with strong conversion data.

Local search ads

Optimized for businesses that serve a specific geographic area. Drives calls, direction requests, and website visits from people searching nearby — ideal for local retailers and service businesses.

Remarketing

Re-engage people who visited your site but didn't convert. Remarketing lists for search ads (RLSA) let you bid more aggressively on previous visitors who are now searching again.

Display and YouTube

Visual ads across Google's display network and YouTube. Best used for brand awareness, retargeting warm audiences, and supporting active search campaigns with upper-funnel reach.

Pricing

Simple, transparent tiers.
No surprises.

Why work with me

What you get that most agencies won't give you.

Direct access, always

You talk to the person managing your campaigns — not an account manager who relays messages to someone else. Questions get answered the same day, not at the next scheduled call.

Full transparency

You have access to your own Google Ads account at all times. I show you exactly what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what the numbers mean — in plain English, not agency jargon.

Results tied to revenue

I don't optimize for impressions or clicks — I optimize for the actions that actually make your business money. Every metric in every report traces back to your real business goals.

Local market expertise

Based in Rochester, NY with deep experience in the upstate New York market. I understand the local search landscape, seasonal patterns, and competitive dynamics that out-of-state agencies miss.
