PPC Management Near You (Albuquerque-Based, Working Nationwide)
When you search “PPC management near me,” you’re usually not asking about zip codes. You want someone who answers when you email them, who knows your account by name, and who doesn’t hand you off to a junior after the sales call. That’s the real ask.
I’m based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I work with clients across the country. Most of my clients never meet me in person — but they all know who’s running their ads.
What “Near Me” Actually Means in 2026
The agency model broke the promise of proximity. You call the number on the website, you get a project manager. The project manager asks a strategist. The strategist might look at your account before the next check-in. No one’s watching your account on Tuesday afternoon when your CPCs spike.
That’s the gap I fill. One person manages your account — me. I’ve managed Google Ads and Meta accounts for 200+ clients over 8+ years. If something looks wrong at 2pm on a Wednesday, I see it.
Being in Albuquerque means I’m on Mountain Time — which works fine for both coasts. And if you’re in New Mexico, I’m 15 minutes away.
What the Typical Agency Setup Costs You
Most agencies charge 10–20% of ad spend with a $1,000–$1,500/month minimum. If you’re spending $3,000/month on ads, you’re paying $600+ per month just in management fees before a single dollar goes to Google or Meta. And you usually don’t own the account — they do.
That pricing structure was designed for big accounts. It doesn’t make sense for businesses spending $500–$5,000/month on ads.
My pricing is different: $800 setup, $200/month ongoing. That’s it. You own your account — your data, your history, your campaigns — and can leave whenever you want.
What You Get
Account setup or restructure. If you’re starting from scratch, I build the account right: campaign structure, match types, negative keyword lists, audience layers, bidding strategy. If you’ve been running ads for a while and things aren’t working, I diagnose and fix — not layer more campaigns on top of a broken foundation.
Conversion tracking done right. Most PPC problems are actually tracking problems. If Google can’t see your conversions, it optimizes for the wrong thing and the account goes sideways. Before I touch anything else, I verify that what you’re calling a “lead” or a “sale” is actually being tracked — not just a pageview or a button click that doesn’t mean anything. This is where a lot of freelancers fall short; they can’t actually verify what their ads do. I can.
Weekly search-terms management. Search terms are how you stop paying for junk. Every week I go through what your ads actually triggered, pull out irrelevant queries, and add them as negatives. This is unglamorous work and most managers skip it — which is why accounts that don’t get maintained slowly hemorrhage spend on low-quality traffic.
Monitoring software watching the account. I run software that flags anomalies — budget pacing issues, cost-per-conversion spikes, impression share drops. I’m not relying on you to notice something’s wrong. The system catches it first.
Plain-English reporting. You get a report that tells you what happened, what it cost, and what I’m changing — not a spreadsheet dump. If you want to dig into the numbers yourself, I’ll send the data. But the default is a writeup a non-ads person can actually read.
The Numbers
$11M+ in ad spend managed across my career. 200+ accounts. 8+ years running Google and Meta campaigns. In the last 12 months alone, 100 accounts through this operation.
Those numbers matter because they mean I’ve seen your situation before — the account that works until it doesn’t, the campaign that looked fine on paper but was burning money on irrelevant queries, the client who came from an agency with no conversion data and three years of bad history to clean up.
How to Vet Me
I’d rather you verify my work than take my word for it. If you have an existing account, the best thing you can do is run it through the 30-minute audit guide I put together — it’s the same checklist I’d use to evaluate your account, and it tells you exactly what to look for. There’s also a guide on how to tell if an agency is doing a good job that’s specifically about holding whoever manages your account accountable — including me.
If you don’t have an account yet, or you just want a second opinion on what you’re spending, I do free Google Ads audits. I’ll tell you what’s working, what’s broken, and what I’d fix first.
Who This Works For
This service makes sense if you’re spending $500–$10,000/month on Google or Meta ads, you want to stop overpaying for management, and you want to talk to the person actually running your campaigns.
It’s not the right fit if you need a full agency team, extensive creative production, or account management for a multi-million dollar operation. I’m a focused, software-enabled, one-person operation — which is exactly why the pricing works, and exactly why you get real accountability.
If you’re in Albuquerque and want to meet up, we can do that. If you’re in Boston or Seattle, we work over email and video calls like every other remote service in 2026. The timezone issue is mostly not an issue — and the accountability issue, which is the real one, is solved the same way either way: one person, your account, no handoffs.
