Google Ads Operator | AI Native Studio | Top 1 Expert-Vetted Globally

Ernie here. Based in Perth, running an AI native paid media studio. Frank, the AI surveillance layer I built, watches every account 24 hours a day. The team executes. I run strategy. The cycle is faster, tighter, and catches things weekly cycles miss. I do not do SEO, social media management, content marketing, or 30 minute discovery calls. I do run Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit, server-side tracking, GA4, GTM, Looker Studio, landing pages, and CRO. All under one operator. 🏅 Top 1% Expert-Vetted Google Ads & PPC Strategist Globally 🏅 Ranked 1st in Australia for Job Completions, Earnings, and Expert-Vetted Status 🏅 15 years building paid media systems, 800+ Upwork jobs completed 🏅 Studio at keywordadv com - case studies, methodology, and field notes from running real accounts 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 I work on a percentage of ad spend retainer model. The percentage scales down as the account grows. The smaller the budget, the higher the percentage, because smaller accounts still need the same brain behind them. The bigger the budget, the lower the percentage, because the system scales without scaling our cost to you. Frank, the AI surveillance layer, the team, the strategy, the landing pages, the tracking, the creative, the reporting. All of it scales with you. You do not buy a tier. You buy the studio. One off audits, account rebuilds, and tracking implementations are scoped fixed price, outside the retainer model. Send a message with your current monthly ad spend and I will share the exact percentage that fits your account.
