KaizenStrategy · Freelance PPC Operator

I run paid search for US founders and operators who need a specialist — not an agency middle layer — managing their Google Ads. I've handled $300K/month budgets, delivered 70× ROAS, and built campaigns from zero to six figures.

Who This Is For

I Work With
Specific People.

01

I'm not for everyone — and that's intentional. The right fit produces better results, faster. If you see yourself below, we'll get along well.

I report directly to founders and owners. No layers. No account managers summarizing my work. You get the actual operator.

✓ US-based founder or operator
✓ $5K+ monthly ad spend
✓ eCommerce or service business
✓ Willing to share revenue data
✗ Looking for cheapest option
✗ Need "someone to just run ads"
ICP-01

eCommerce Founders

Shopify or WooCommerce stores with proven product-market fit, ready to scale revenue through Shopping Ads and Performance Max with real ROAS accountability — not vanity metrics.

ICP-02

Service Business Owners

Healthcare, legal, home services, SaaS founders who need qualified leads. I've managed $300K/month in behavioral health PPC. I understand high-stakes, compliance-aware campaigns.

ICP-03

Operators Scaling Past $1M

You've proven the model. Now you need a paid search operator who builds the system, optimizes relentlessly, and gives you a clean weekly read — not a 40-slide deck.
