Hourly PPC Help

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 (learn more about ZATO running your PPC account here).

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.

You might want help setting up a new campaign, or getting your Google Ads tag set correctly on the website. We're here to help!

What we don't do: 

We're not here to tell you how to run your business. We're not here to confidently claim you're doing it all wrong or right. We're not a fractional CMO or marketing director. Too many consultants are (perhaps, rightfully) accused of being better at selling themselves and acting confident than actually knowing how to solve a brand's big picture problems.That's not us.

What we do: 

Think of us less as traditional consultants, and more as someone who spends their days in Google Ads, in multiple accounts, who can help you think through specific account-related PPC questions.

  • 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?

These are just ideas of the types of questions you might just want a second opinion on, and we're here to help.

We are also available to actually help you implement specific changes in accounts (with your express permission, of course!). You may need someone to help audit and better set up your conversion goals. Or you may want someone to help you get your Shopping Feed optimized and set up correctly so your Performance Max campaigns target the right people. That's us!

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.
