What I work on

Specialist management for ecommerce accounts.

More traffic is not the objective on its own. I focus on the account inputs that determine whether additional spend can produce dependable commercial value.

Google Ads management

Ongoing campaign management built around clear priorities, accurate reporting and practical commercial decisions.

Shopping & Performance Max

Simple, controlled campaign structures designed around the products and signals that matter.

Merchant Center & feeds

For active accounts, cleaner titles, attributes and product data to help Google understand what you sell.

Tracking & attribution

Measurement checks that make budget and campaign decisions more dependable.

Merchant Center suspension recovery

Suspended for Misrepresentation?

I diagnose the issues across your website, product feed and Merchant Center setup, then help correct them before another Google review is requested.

Ecommerce growth case study

More than doubled spend while reported ROAS improved.

Across two equal 153-day periods, Google Ads-attributed conversion value increased by 164% and reported conversions increased by 70%.

The work stayed deliberately practical: a simple feed-only Performance Max campaign, feed optimisation, budget changes and search-term trimming.

Second ecommerce case study

£73,500 in attributed purchase value during August.

A focused Performance Max and product-feed structure delivered a reported 17.26x ROAS. The case study separates Performance Max from branded Search and avoids claiming a before-and-after result.
