In this article, I break down the hidden epidemic of untrained operators treating client ad accounts like Monopoly money, why confusion has become a billable hour in the industry, and how business owners can protect themselves from irreversible damage. If you’ve ever wondered whether the person running your ads actually knows what they’re doing, this is the clarity you’ve been missing.

Paid search is deceptively simple to start, but incredibly difficult to scale profitably. You don't need just another media buyer to fix the friction; you need a veteran operator to stabilize the ship.

After 15 years in the trenches, I know that you cannot scale a premium service on the back of junior talent or disjointed communication. I partner with agencies to transfer knowledge, install proven infrastructure, and move teams from 'defending data' with jargon to owning the holistic business picture.
