Edinburgh PPC, run by the operator, not handed to a junior.

Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit. Search, Performance Max, retargeting, paid social. One senior account manager — me — wired into your GTM, GA4 and Looker so every pound spent is traceable to a result.

№ 01 — What I run

The channels and the system behind them.

Paid search

Google Ads end-to-end

Search, Performance Max, Shopping, Demand Gen, Display, YouTube. Keyword research, ad copy, extensions, audience layering, bid strategy tuning, negative-keyword hygiene. GTM custom conversions wired to the platforms that decide your bids.

  • — Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Google Shopping, GMC
  • — GTM, server-side tracking, enhanced conversions
  • — Performance Max with feed-driven asset groups
  • — Search Console + GA4 paired with the ads account
Paid social

Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit

Cold prospecting, lookalikes, retargeting layers, dynamic catalogue for ecommerce, lead-form funnels for B2B. Creative briefs that actually brief, then iterate on the data — not the gut.

  • — Meta Business Manager, Catalogue, CAPI
  • — LinkedIn Ads (Matched audiences, Conversation ads)
  • — TikTok and Reddit for niche prospect pools
  • — Dynamic retargeting for cart abandoners
Tracking & reporting

One Looker dashboard. 8+ platforms unified. Weekly review on Mondays.

Most freelancers stitch screenshots into a deck. I stitch GA4, Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Search Console, Shopify and HubSpot into one Looker view. The Monday review is one URL, not a slide deck.

  • — Server-side tracking via GTM Server Container
  • — Enhanced conversions on Google + CAPI on Meta
  • — Looker Studio dashboards (agency-grade)
  • — Weekly written summary in plain English

№ 03 — Who this fits

Best fit when…

You're spending £3K+ /month

Below that, freelance management overhead eats the return. Under £3K you need DIY guidance, not a managed service.

You're frustrated with reporting

If your current agency sends 30-slide PDFs you can't act on, you're a fit. I send numbers, not narrative.

Hospitality, ecommerce or trades

My deepest reps are in food & drink, DTC ecommerce, and local-service SMBs. 80+ accounts shipped in these verticals.
