Most ad campaigns fail because nobody thought past the click. Money goes in, impressions go up, and nothing happens. That is not how I work.

I build campaigns on Google and Meta that start with your business goals and work backward. Who are we trying to reach. What do we want them to do. How do we know it worked. Every dollar has a job, and I track whether it did that job or not.

You should not need a marketing degree to understand where your ad budget is going. I make it simple.

Google and Meta ad campaign management — John August Design, Missoula Montana

What Ad Management Includes

Strategy & Targeting

We define your audience, your goals, and the right platform mix before spending a dollar. I research keywords, demographics, interests, and competitor positioning so your ads reach the people most likely to buy.

Creative & Copy

I write the ad copy and design the creative. Headlines, descriptions, image ads, video thumbnails. Everything is built to stop the scroll and get the click. No stock photo carousels. No generic calls to action.

Campaign Build & Launch

I set up the full campaign structure. Ad groups, audiences, bidding strategy, conversion tracking, UTM parameters. Everything wired correctly from day one so the data is clean and the budget is working.

Optimization & Reporting

I monitor performance weekly, adjust bids, pause underperformers, and scale what works. You get a monthly report that shows exactly what your money did. No jargon, no vanity metrics. Just results.

How It Works

01

Discovery Call

We talk about your business, your customers, and what a successful campaign looks like for you. I ask the questions most ad managers skip.

02

Strategy & Build

I research your market, build the campaign structure, write the ads, design the creative, and set up tracking. You approve everything before it goes live.

03

Launch & Monitor

Campaigns go live and I watch them closely. First two weeks are about gathering data. I adjust targeting, bids, and creative based on what the numbers actually say.

04

Optimize & Report

Ongoing management means ongoing improvement. You get a clear monthly report. I tell you what worked, what did not, and what we are doing next.

What I Run

I work across Google and Meta. The platform mix depends on where your customers actually are and what you are trying to get them to do. Most clients run a combination.

John does amazing work and is an awesome communicator. Ad campaign was so effective I had to redo the worker schedule to meet the increased traffic. Highly recommend working with him on any design or promotional campaigns.

Questions About Ads

How much should I budget for ads?
Ad management starts at $500/month. Your actual ad spend on Google or Meta is separate and depends on your market and goals. I will recommend a realistic budget during our initial conversation and I will never push you to spend more than makes sense.
How long before I see results?
Most campaigns need 2 to 4 weeks to gather enough data to optimize. Some clients see results in the first week. It depends on your industry, your offer, and how competitive your market is. I set expectations honestly upfront.
Do I need a website first?
It helps. Ads drive people somewhere, and if that somewhere is a slow or confusing website, you are wasting your ad spend. If your site needs work, I can handle that too. Many clients bundle web design and ads together.
Will I own the ad accounts?
Yes. Your Google Ads and Meta Business accounts belong to you. I work inside your accounts with manager access. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you. No hostage situations.
What kind of reporting do I get?
A clear monthly report showing spend, clicks, conversions, cost per lead, and what I am doing next. No dashboards full of metrics you do not understand. I tell you what the numbers mean for your business in plain language.
