About the role

This role owns the Google platform: Search, Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube and local or store-goal formats where relevant. Account structure, match types, negatives, bidding and the ongoing work of keeping spend away from searches that will never convert.

The clients are small businesses, so the budgets are real and the waste is visible. A wasted week here is a week the owner notices.

This listing stays up while the role is open, and every application is read.

People in this role work on Seed Light's Google Ads projects.

Responsibilities

  • Build and restructure accounts so the spend is controllable
  • Manage keywords, match types and negatives, week after week
  • Write the ads, and test them properly rather than guessing
  • Set up conversion tracking so leads are counted, not estimated
  • Report on cost per lead and what changes next month

Requirements

  • You have managed live Google Ads spend and can talk through an account
  • You know match types, Quality Score and how PMax really behaves
  • You can set up conversion tracking, including calls
  • You look at search terms regularly, not at the start only
  • You can explain to an owner why a cheap click is not the goal

Nice to have

  • You have run Shopping campaigns and worked with a product feed
  • You have used scripts or rules to catch problems automatically
  • You have run Microsoft Ads as well

Tools

Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, GA4, Google Merchant Center, Looker Studio, Keyword Planner. The licences and subscriptions the job needs are paid for, and knowing every one of these already is not expected.

Your first three months

  • Month 1. An audit of every live account, and the negatives and structure fixes that follow.
  • Month 2. You own a set of accounts, including the tracking and the monthly report.
  • Month 3. You set how accounts are built here and check the tracking before any new one launches.

Questions about this role

Questions candidates usually ask before applying. If yours is not here, add it to the message box on the form.

The role goes deep on one platform and its campaign types. The performance marketer works across channels and is accountable for the return, wherever the money went.

The Google Ads specialist manages small business budgets on accounts where each wasted click is noticed. Your application should show how you worked with that level of budget in practice, including the choices you made when deciding where the available spend should go.

Search ad copy sits with this role, with editing help available when needed. Briefing the copy to somebody else costs more time than it saves, so you write it as part of managing the search ads rather than handing it off.

Google Ads accounts are checked regularly, with more frequent attention while a change is being tested. The application call will cover how often you reviewed active accounts, what prompted you to intervene and how you decided when a test had produced enough evidence.

Performance Max is used when it has a clear job and enough conversion data to assess it. It does not replace every campaign by default. Search and other campaign types may remain when they give the account clearer control or reporting.

No, but you are expected to say when the page is the problem. A campaign judged on cost per lead cannot be fixed inside the ad account when the page is.
