In their words

Clients describe working with me

Client videos describe the experience of working with me on Facebook and Google Ads. The accompanying case studies explain the campaign changes and published figures. Watch the accounts in the clients’ own words, then review the measurement notes to understand which outcomes were reported and which were not tracked.

What’s inside

Want to review your ads yourself?

The GAP Audit Checklist costs $47 CAD and includes a PDF guide plus an editable worksheet for reviewing your own ads. Work through the account, record the evidence behind each finding and decide what to investigate first. It suits business owners and internal teams who want a structured review.

Keep your notes alongside campaign reports so you can distinguish a tracking problem from a lead quality problem. If you need an expert review afterward, the full GAP Audit is a separate service with account findings and a 90-day roadmap. Compare both options on the checklist page before purchasing.

FAQ

Questions about the service

Start with an audit if your Google or Facebook Ads are already live. Choose New Campaign Setup if you have not launched. The answers below explain service fit, platforms and expectations, so you can decide whether to request a review, ask about support or begin with a self-check.

Where should I start?

Live ads: $1,000 CAD Micro or $2,997 CAD full audit. Unlaunched? New Campaign Setup.

Can I skip the audit and go straight to management?

Micro or full audit first: tracking, offer and follow-up. Keep the plan regardless.

Who do you work with?

Business owners, founders, marketing teams and agencies. We agree the right scope for your campaigns and business.

Do you work with Google Ads and Facebook Ads?

Yes. All services cover both. Experience across services, events and e-commerce, including cross-platform waste.

Do you guarantee results?

No. Expect clear diagnosis, explained decisions and lead/customer reporting.

Next step

Check where your ad spend is being wasted

Share your campaign goals, platforms and the problem you want to solve to find the right starting point. I’ll reply within one business day. For live accounts, an audit comes before setup or management so decisions follow a review of tracking, the offer and lead follow-up. Include your monthly ad spend, who currently manages the account and what happens after an inquiry arrives. If you have not launched, say so in your message. We can discuss New Campaign Setup or another suitable service and confirm the scope before work begins.
