What we
don't do: 

☑️ We're not interns or newbs. Each of the team consulting on your project has over a decade of experience, JUST IN PPC.
☑️ We're not solo freelancers. You get a TEAM of multiple PPC experts to think through your problem (that's why we're priced where we are)
☑️ We're not here to tell you how to run your business (if you're looking for Ecommerce executive or finance consulting, we recommend contacting Andrew Faris).
☑️ We're not a fractional CMO to set your strategic direction. We intake your strategy to determine how to better manage PPC.
☑️ We're not here to make up stuff about your account. If we don't know, we tell you we don't know (that's valuable in itself, since some unsolvable problems should be ignored rather than obsessively pursued. Sometimes you need a consultant to tell you what to ignore!).

What we do: 

‍Our consulting and training services are geared towards the in-house team who wants a second opinion, another set of eyes on the account, someone who's been there before on this test, or might have some good thoughts of things to try or avoid.Think of us as a team who spends our days immersed in Google Ads, in multiple accounts, who can help you think through specific account-related PPC questions or conundrums. Examples:

  • How should you switch to Performance Max campaigns in this account?
  • What are ideas for testing a new Product Title for your top products?
  • What are some things you should think through before switching this campaign from manual bidding to TROAS?
  • What are some brainstorming ideas for expanding your reach into more upper funnel searches?
  • Why did your product feed drop when everything seems to be connected correctly in Shopify?

Why not just buy a PPC course? 

PPC Courses play an important role in PPC training, but they have limitations. Specifically,

  • A PPC Course needs to be constantly updated for the rapid-based nature of Platform changes, and this rarely happens.
  • A PPC Course excels at general knowledge, but what about your ultra-specific PPC question?

One of the things I noticed when I first started my Shopping Ads course on Udemy, was that 95% of the questions were very specific use cases. Learning general things about how PPC works is really important for a student, but a practitioner of a current account needs specific help NOW in order to stop losing money.

That's where having a team you can call on the phone to get a specific answer is so incredibly valuable.

ZATO is happy to now offer hourly PPC consulting, PPC training, and just general hourly, whatever-you-need-PPC work, along with our traditional managed-services option (on the other hand, learn more about ZATO actively managing your PPC account here).
