PPC management services for Google, Microsoft, Meta and LinkedIn Ads

PPC management services run your paid ads from audit to report: research, campaign structure, ad copy, bids and budgets, testing and tracking, so every click can be tied to a lead or a sale. I'm Khurram Shahzad, a technical lead who builds web products and grows them. I led SEO and oversaw paid campaigns on Meta, Google and LinkedIn as one integrated organic and paid motion, and I write the landing pages and the conversion tracking myself. The ad, the page and the tag get fixed together, by one person. It suits businesses that want paid search and paid social run hands-on, without a layered team. Pick a platform below, then request a quote.

High-intent search

Reach people already searching for you.

Google Ads puts your offer in front of people at the moment they search for it. Search campaigns capture clear intent, while Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube and Demand Gen extend reach when the goal and the product fit. I structure accounts by intent, write ads around the search terms that convert and keep the search terms report clean with negative keywords.

Search campaigns

Keyword themes, match types and responsive search ads built around buyer intent.

Search term hygiene

Negative keywords and weekly search term reviews cut wasted clicks.

Conversion tag

The Google Ads tag, enhanced conversions and GA4 events verified before launch.

ScopeWhat is included

What PPC management services include

PPC management is the day-to-day running of your paid ads. Here is what it covers, so you know exactly what you are asking for.

01

Account audit

A review of your current account or market, with wasted spend, tracking gaps and missed opportunities ranked by impact.

02

Keyword and audience research

The searches, interests and roles that signal real buying intent, grouped into themes you can understand.

03

Campaign structure and ads

Campaigns organized by intent, with responsive search ads and creative written and tested against clear hypotheses.

04

Bids and budgets

Budgets set from your goals and bidding strategies chosen to match your data, with guardrails when automation needs them.

05

Search term hygiene

Negative keywords, search terms reviews and audience exclusions that keep spend on people who might buy.

07

Conversion tracking

Tags, events and consent settings tested before launch, so reports show leads and sales, not only clicks.

08

Reporting

A clear dashboard and a plain-language summary of what changed, what worked and what comes next.

Process: Audit, strategy and launch

01 / Discovery and goals

A call about your offer, your customers and what a good lead or sale is worth, so every decision after it has a target.

02 / Audit or market research

For an existing account I audit structure, spend, search terms and tracking. For a new one I research the market, competitors and search demand.

03 / Strategy and account structure

We choose platforms, campaigns and audiences, with a plan that fits on one page and a clear first test.

04 / Build and launch

Ads, assets, landing page and tracking are built and checked before spend. Tracking is verified before any budget goes live.

05 / Optimize and report

Weekly reviews of search terms, ads and audiences, with a plain-language report on what worked and what did not.

06 / Scale what works

Budget moves toward the campaigns that earn it, and new channels are added only when the first ones are healthy.

Landing pagesMessage match

Landing pages built for the ad

Good ads still lose money when they land on a page that does not match the promise. A paid landing page needs one offer, one clear next step, fast loading, a mobile-first layout, honest trust signals and a form that stays out of the way. Because I write and build the pages myself, the ad and the page are changed together, and I can test headlines, forms and layouts without waiting on another team.

$ match --ad-message --landing-page
> same promise, same words, one next step
✓ fast, mobile first, Core Web Vitals checked
✓ form tested on phone and desktop
$ test --headline --form --layout
✓ one change at a time, measured
The usual problem

Clicks that go nowhere

Ads send people to a general homepage, so intent fades, the offer is unclear and the click is wasted.

How I work

One offer, one page

Each campaign gets a page built for its audience, with the same promise as the ad and a clear next step.

The payoff

More leads from the same clicks

A page that converts better makes every click more valuable, and supports Quality Score and landing page experience.

TrackingMeasurement

Conversion tracking you can trust

Most PPC problems are measurement problems. I set up Google Tag Manager, GA4 and each platform's tag before launch, then test them. If conversions in an ad platform and in GA4 differ, it is usually because of attribution windows, consent and counting rules, and I explain which number to trust and why.

02

Platform tags

The Google Ads tag, Microsoft UET tag, Meta Pixel with Conversions API and LinkedIn Insight Tag, each tested.

03

Forms, calls and sales

Every valuable action tracked as a conversion, including phone calls and purchases.

04

Better data in

Enhanced conversions and offline conversion import, so platforms learn from leads that become customers.

05

Consent and privacy

Consent settings configured so data is collected responsibly and reports stay reliable.

06

UTM discipline

Every link tagged the same way, so each campaign's sessions and results are easy to compare.

Budget and biddingOptimization

Budget, bidding and optimization

I don't quote budgets on this page, because the right number depends on your market, your margins and your goal. What I can show you is how I decide.

01

Work back from the goal

Target leads, expected conversion rate and market click costs show what a realistic budget looks like, before a single ad runs.

02

Smart bidding with guardrails

Target CPA, target ROAS and maximize conversions work once data is clean. I give them room where it helps and keep control where it does not.

03

A weekly rhythm

Search terms, negative keywords, ad tests, audience reviews and budget pacing, with spend moved toward what converts.

One systemPPC plus SEO

PPC and SEO working as one system

Paid and organic answer the same searches. Run by one person, they stop competing and start sharing what they learn.

01

Paid shows what converts

Search terms that turn into leads tell the SEO plan which pages and topics to build next.

See technical SEO services

02

Organic shows where to save

Queries where you already rank well show where paid spend can be trimmed, and gaps show where it can step in.

FitWho I work with

Who this is for

I work best with teams that want ads sending traffic to pages built for the click. Bring me in before launch, and the landing page, the tracking and the budget plan are set up together.

02

Shops that want Shopping and search campaigns tied to what actually sells.

PricingScoped quotes

How PPC management pricing works

I don't publish a price list, because a single local campaign and a four-platform launch are very different jobs. The platforms involved, the number of campaigns, the state of your landing pages and tracking and how much you want done for you decide the cost. Tell me about your business and your goal, and I'll reply with a scoped quote. If you already run ads, ask about an account audit as the first step. You will see exactly what is covered before any work starts.

FAQ

PPC management services FAQs

PPC management covers the full running of your paid ads: account audit, keyword and audience research, campaign structure, ad copy, bidding and budget control, landing page and conversion tracking support, ongoing testing, and regular reporting. The aim is to turn each click into a measurable lead or sale, not just to generate traffic.

It is worth it when your ads send people to a page that converts, your tracking shows which clicks became leads or sales, and the value of a customer comfortably exceeds what it costs to win one. Without those three pieces, ad spend tends to leak. Good management closes those gaps before it scales anything.

Ads can send traffic within days of approval, but useful results take longer. Platforms need time to learn, and search terms, audiences and creative need testing before the data is reliable. Expect an early learning period, then steady refinement. Timelines depend on your market, your budget and how well your landing pages convert.

It depends on how your buyers look for you. Google Ads captures people searching with clear intent. Microsoft Ads reaches Bing and its partner search networks. Meta Ads suits visual products and building demand on Facebook and Instagram. LinkedIn Ads fits B2B targeting by job title and industry. Most accounts start with one or two and expand.

There is no single number. The right budget depends on your market, what clicks cost in it, your conversion rate, and how many leads or sales you need. I work backward from your goal to see what is realistic, then start focused and scale what works. Management scope is quoted on request.

In most cases, yes. A page built for one offer and one audience matches the ad message, loads fast, and makes the next step obvious. Sending paid traffic to a general homepage usually dilutes intent and wastes clicks. I write and build landing pages alongside the campaigns, so ad and page are improved together.

SEO earns organic rankings over time, while PPC buys visibility right away and stops when spend stops. They work best together: paid search terms show what converts so SEO can target it, and organic data shows where paid can fill gaps. Many businesses start with PPC for speed and build SEO for lasting traffic.

I set up conversion tracking before launch using Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4 and each platform's own tag, such as the Meta Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag. Forms, calls and purchases are tracked as conversions, so reports show leads and sales per campaign, not only clicks. I test the data before we trust it.
