Hire the agency that Trains the Others.

ZATO Founder Kirk Williams (@PPCKirk) has traveled around the world speaking at conferences, creating Shopping Ads courses, and writing blogposts for multiple publications to keep the PPC world informed about Google changes. This strategic depth, along with an average industry tenure of a decade experience (!) by your ZATO account manager, means your accounts are managed by experts with deep Google Ads knowledge.

We're Not Focused On Our Own Growth, So we can be focused on yours

ZATO's core business goal is simple:

to provide our clients with exceptional Paid Search advertising as a fully integrated partner, yet without compromising our employee health & well-being.

At ZATO, we focus on cultivating great partnerships that last for years. We partner with a limited number of accounts per person, so we can keep up with all the Google Ads changes (aren't there so many these days?!), grow your account, and do all of that without burning out our team members.

We also seamlessly integrate within your team and process in order to remove communication barriers so we can demonstrate our value to you again and again.


Not A Freelancer, Not an Agency

ZATO isn't easy to categorize because we act more like freelancers and employees in taking personal ownership of your ad campaigns... but we offer a team-like approach to PPC management.

You get a dedicated Account Manager (with 10+ years of experience, as well as limited accounts to be able to focus on yours!), plus a strategist who gets a second set of our eyes on the account, especially helping think through any particular challenges that may arise to hit your goals month after month.

“Kirk and ZATO Marketing are my & Credo's first thought when approached by someone looking for Google Shopping help. Kirk has proven himself over and over to be a humble and helpful resource who is truly the best at what he does, and a world class human to know. I'm not an advertising expert myself, so when I have questions Kirk is my go-to and should be yours as well."
- JOHN DOHERTY, FOUNDER & CEO, GETCREDO.COM
“ZATO gave us the best SEM/SHOP audit we’ve gotten from any outside firm. It was insightful, thorough, actionable, and delivered in a clear professional way. We were able to implement their recommendations within months and saw significant improvements.”
– CONNOR MACDONALD, CMO, THE RIDGE
"Kirk is my industry go-to person when it comes to Shopping Ads. Whether I have a client looking for help with their shopping campaigns, a lead looking for someone seasoned, creative, and trustworthy to possibly work with, or if I have a question myself, Kirk is always helpful and willing to have a conversation."
– AKVILE DEFAZIO, PRESIDENT, AKVERTISE, INC.
"Kirk is one of the most talented and experienced Google Shopping experts that I know. I’ve had the privilege of viewing several of Kirk’s presentations at conferences as well as numerous other content pieces that he’s produced online - all chock full of actionable e-commerce expertise."
– AMY BISHOP, FOUNDER & OWNER, Cultivative MARKETING
“Kirk is a highly intelligent and charismatic individual that I had the pleasure of working with while I was ZATO's Google rep.
