Background

A Google Ads freelancer with the inside view.

Most Google Ads freelancers learned the platform from courses. I learned it at Google, in projects with the people who build it.

First campaign: 2017

I have managed Google Ads accounts as a freelancer since 2017. From local service businesses to international e-commerce brands, always with the same approach: measure, prioritize, execute.

Inside Google

Two official Google projects, including the Google Tech Team in Lisbon. First-hand platform knowledge that very few Google Ads freelancers bring.

Account manager perspective

As an account manager I saw hundreds of accounts. The patterns behind wasted budget repeat, and those are exactly what I spot in your account today.

Freelancer instead of agency

Why a Google Ads freelancer is often the better choice.

Typical agency

  • Sales call with the senior, work done by the junior
  • A monthly PDF instead of a real explanation
  • Fixed terms, minimum budgets, setup fees
  • Your account is one of forty in the team
  • Account managers change without notice

Google Ads freelancer Dennis Franz

  • You talk to the person who actually optimizes your account
  • Every decision is explained, not hidden behind a dashboard
  • Cancel monthly, no setup fee, no minimum budget
  • The account stays yours, including all data
  • Honest assessment, even if Google Ads is not the right channel for you
Journey

Eight years of Google Ads. One focus.

2017

First Google Ads campaign

Launched the first campaign and saw immediately how much intent-based advertising can do when it is measured properly.

2018 – 2020

Google project #1

Joined the first official Google project, working closely with internal teams and gaining platform-level insight.

2021 – 2022

Google Tech Team · Lisbon

Worked on-site at Google's European hub as part of the Tech Team, alongside engineers and product specialists.

2023 – now

Google Ads freelancer · Aggressive Expansion

Brought that knowledge into my own practice: every account, every bid strategy and every audience with a platform perspective.

Services as a Google Ads freelancer

Every Google Ads format. Set up properly.

Search campaigns

Intent-based search ads that reach buyers at the moment they are looking. Tight keyword targeting, clean match types and copy that converts.

Performance Max

Google's most automated campaign type, fed the right signals and the right conversion goals. Most accounts get PMax wrong at the setup stage.

Shopping

Feed optimization, product segmentation and bidding that turns a catalogue into a revenue engine. For e-commerce brands ready to scale.

YouTube

Video campaigns from awareness to retargeting that actually contribute to the bottom line instead of just reach.

Display & retargeting

Smart audience segmentation that brings back visitors who did not convert the first time.

Tracking & analytics

GA4 setup, conversion tracking and dashboards so every optimization is backed by clean data.

Who I work with

Who I work for as a Google Ads freelancer

Service businesses

Regional inquiries at predictable cost: trades, law firms, practices, consulting. Focus on lead quality and call tracking.

E-commerce

Shopping, Performance Max and feed optimization for shops from about 3,000 € monthly budget. Goal: profitable ROAS, not just revenue.

B2B & SaaS

Long decision cycles, expensive clicks, few conversions. Search-term hygiene, offline conversions from the CRM and patience with Smart Bidding matter here.

„Finding a freelancer who feels almost like a permanent in-house team member is truly rare.“
„Dennis has been managing our Google Ads for three years now and built our entire setup from scratch. We were highly profitable from week one, because he offers a very safe low-budget setup at genuinely fair prices. Dennis works extremely conscientiously, has high integrity and is always reachable. Finding a freelancer who feels almost like a permanent in-house team member is truly rare. Five stars aren't really enough. Absolute recommendation.“

Common questions

Google Ads freelancer: what you want to know.

What does a Google Ads freelancer cost?
I work with a monthly management fee based on effort, not on ad spend. After the free initial call you get a fixed quote. No setup fee, cancel monthly.
Google Ads freelancer or agency, which is better?
An agency makes sense if you need many channels and a large team. For Google Ads itself a freelancer gives you more experience per dollar, because the person with the experience also does the work.
From what budget does a Google Ads freelancer make sense?
Professional management usually pays off from about 1,500 € in monthly ad spend. Below that, I would rather show you in the call how to set up the account cleanly yourself.
How fast will I see results?
First improvements in click quality and cost per lead usually within two to four weeks. Stable results take two to three months, because Google's bidding algorithms need data to learn.
Does the Google Ads account stay with me?
Yes, always. The account runs in your name, I work through a manager account. If we stop, everything stays with you, including history and conversion data.
Do you work with clients outside the US?
Yes. I manage accounts in the US, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, in English and German.
