Platforms I work with

Do any of these sound familiar? I can help you.

Many businesses are already investing in paid advertising, but feel the results could be better, clearer or more scalable.

01

Campaigns generate traffic but no consistent results

Campaigns are active and budget is being spent, but results aren't predictable or scalable. The structure or strategy needs a review.

High CPC with no conversions
ROAS below target
Budget spent with no sales
See how I solve it
02

Lack of clarity on what's actually working

Reports don't explain enough. It's unclear which terms, audiences or formats are generating real results and which are consuming budget with no return.

Confusing or incomplete reports
Poorly configured attribution
No full-funnel visibility
Request a PPC audit
03

The account needs a strategic review to scale better

There are campaigns that work, but growth has stalled. Scaling profitably requires a review of structure, bids and measurement.

Stable results but no growth
Difficulty scaling the budget
Unoptimised bidding strategy
1:1 strategy consulting

Often it's not a budget problem. It's a structure, strategy or measurement problem.

PPC management and strategy services

Platforms automate bids, targeting and optimisation. What they can't automate is strategy: which campaigns to run, on which platforms, with what budget and towards which business goals. That's where a PPC/SEM specialist comes in.

In the age of AI advertising, the value of a PPC consultant is not in manual adjustments — it's in the strategic decisions no algorithm can make for you.

What types of accounts do I usually work with?

Every situation is different, but there are business profiles I work with regularly.

Businesses already investing in digital advertising

Businesses with active campaigns on Google Ads, Meta Ads or Microsoft Ads looking to improve results, optimise spend or scale what already works.

Ecommerce businesses wanting to improve profitability

Online stores using search, shopping or remarketing campaigns that need to optimise ROAS, improve campaign structure or scale sales profitably.

B2B companies generating leads

Businesses using lead generation campaigns that want to improve lead quality, reduce cost per opportunity or scale profitable campaigns.

Businesses starting to invest in PPC

Startups or businesses without active campaigns yet that need to define a clear strategy before investing in Google Ads, Meta Ads or Microsoft Ads.

PPC strategy in the age of automation

Advertising platforms are automating bids, targeting and ad optimisation more and more. Google, Meta and Microsoft use AI to manage what used to require constant manual intervention.

This doesn't eliminate the need for a consultant. What changes is the focus: the value is no longer in manual bid adjustments, but in making the strategic decisions that automation can't make on its own.

What the consultant focuses on

Acquisition strategy

Define which channels, audiences and messages make the most sense for the business.

Campaign planning

Account structure, campaign types, budgets and activation schedule.

Account architecture

Logical organisation of campaigns, ad groups and targeting to maximise control.

Data interpretation

Read the data correctly to make investment decisions based on real evidence.

Investment decisions

When to scale, when to pause and how to redistribute budget to maximise return.

Types of digital advertising campaigns I manage

Meta logoMeta Ads

Facebook Ads

Conversion, traffic and lead generation campaigns on Facebook.

Instagram Ads

Visual ads in feed, stories and reels for high-intent audiences.

Contextual Targeting

Targeting based on conversation context. No personal data, only aggregated performance data.

ChatGPT Search Ads

Appears when users actively search for solutions in ChatGPT Search. Maximum purchase intent.

Optimise first. Scale after.

Build a profitable acquisition system

The goal isn't simply to activate campaigns, but to build a profitable acquisition system. Every decision is made to improve return before increasing investment.

Scale when the campaign proves it works

When a campaign proves it works and is profitable, the next step is to gradually increase investment to keep growing. Investing more stops being a risk and becomes an opportunity.

Ya van casi 3 años que llevo trabajando con Iván. Y 3 también son las cualidades que puedo destacar de él. La primera, su expertise, con el que consigue que los resultados de las campañas mejoren. La segunda, su transparencia, ya que con su disponibilidad y feedback constante sabes en todo momento qué está ocurriendo con tu cuenta, ahorrándote sorpresas y gastos innecesarios. Y la tercera, su cercanía, que hace que confíes en él y acabe siendo uno más del equipo. Le daría tres estrellas por seguir con el juego del 3, pero es que se merece 5. ¡Un abrazo Iván! ¡A seguir así!

Freelance SEM and PPC Consultant

Un freelance PPC manager is the professional who designs, launches and optimises pay-per-click advertising campaigns. Unlike an agency, an independent consultant works directly on your account, without delegating management to a junior team or adding layers of intermediation.

La pay-per-click campaign management covers everything from defining the initial strategy to daily monitoring of bids, budgets, audiences and creatives. Every decision is made with real account data, not generic templates.

La Google Ads campaign optimisation is a continuous process: search term analysis, bid adjustments by device and location, Quality Score improvement, extension review and conversion tracking. It's not an initial setup that's left to run on its own.

La SEM strategy defines which platforms to use, which campaign types to activate, how to structure accounts and how to measure the real return on advertising investment. A good strategy avoids wasting budget on traffic that does not convert.

La advertising account audit is an independent technical review that identifies structural errors, tracking issues, inefficient bids or incorrect targeting. It is the starting point before any significant change to an active account.

Frequently asked questions

A PPC consultant manages and optimises pay-per-click advertising campaigns on platforms like Google Ads, Meta Ads or Microsoft Ads. This includes the initial strategy, technical setup, keyword selection, audience creation, bid optimisation and ongoing results analysis. Unlike an agency, a freelance consultant works directly on your account without delegating to third parties.
When you want direct communication with the person managing your campaigns. Agencies usually assign an account manager who is not the one actually working on your account. With a freelance consultant, the person you talk to is the one who executes. It is also usually more efficient for mid-sized accounts where an agency cost structure is not justified.
We start with an initial review to understand your situation, active platforms, investment and goals. From there, I propose the most suitable approach: ongoing management, a one-off audit or strategic consulting. Ongoing management starts with an initial 3-month contract, renewable month by month.
It depends on the scope of work, the platforms and the volume of managed spend. I do not publish fixed rates because every situation is different. What I can say is that the cost structure is transparent from the start, with no surprises or hidden commissions on the advertising budget.
Yes. An external audit is an independent review of your current account. It does not mean changing your manager. It is useful when you have doubts about whether your campaigns are well structured or want an independent technical opinion before making decisions.
The first step is to understand the real reason for the suspension before acting. Google sends a notice, but it is not always clear. Filing an appeal without a prior diagnosis can make things worse. If your account is suspended, I can run a technical diagnosis to identify the cause and define the most appropriate recovery strategy.
I have managed campaigns in sectors such as professional services, clinics and health, e-commerce, real estate, online education and B2B software. I have no sector restrictions, although I do decline projects that do not comply with platform advertising policies.
Yes. The initial contract is 3 months, a minimum period needed to implement the strategy, optimise the campaigns and start seeing solid results. After that period, the relationship renews month by month with reasonable notice if you decide not to continue.
Yes, although in practice they are often used interchangeably. PPC (Pay Per Click) refers specifically to paid advertising on platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Ads or Microsoft Ads. SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is a broader concept that encompasses all search engine marketing strategies, including both paid advertising (PPC) and organic optimisation (SEO). In everyday use, many businesses use 'SEM' to refer to paid campaign management on search engines like Google Ads. My work focuses primarily on strategy, planning and optimisation of PPC campaigns to achieve profitable and scalable results.

When campaigns work and are profitable, increasing investment stops being a risk and becomes a growth opportunity.
