Google Ads Expert · Memphis, TNWhether you run a service company or a growing brand in Shelby County, the goal is the same: more qualified leads from Google at a cost per lead you can defend.
● No obligation. If Google Ads is not the right next step for your business, I will tell you.

Results vary by industry, market, offer and budget. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, but it does show how I approach accounts.
Three client campaigns: where they started, what I changed and what the numbers looked like afterwards. The same process applies to Memphis businesses.
Coach · Online courseThis coach needed to sell an online course and grow his personal brand. I built a conversion-focused funnel and ran strategic ads to it, turning a $2,773.25 investment into $15,267.29 in sales.
Non-profit · FundraisingThis non-profit was losing money on its fundraising ads when they brought me in. In the first month, $970 in ad spend raised $6,422, and the wider fundraising effort went on to generate more than $600K that year.
High-ticket servicesThis business sells high-ticket services and products. I rebuilt the ad strategy around stronger creatives and smarter retargeting, then tightened spend and targeting, turning $2.9K into $20,472.10 in revenue.
Memphis is one of the largest search markets in Tennessee, with roughly 618,980 residents. A market this size supports hundreds of competing advertisers in almost every category, so the difference between profitable and wasteful Google Ads usually comes down to account structure, query control and landing-page match rather than bigger budgets.
Memphis is the main market in this part of Shelby County. The closest places with 10,000+ residents are Germantown (10.7 mi), Southaven (10.9 mi) and Horn Lake (11.8 mi), so the useful search audience reaches beyond the city limits.
Inside Shelby County, Memphis ranks 1st of 7 places with 10,000+ residents, alongside Bartlett, Collierville and Germantown. 7 other 10,000+ communities sit within 15 miles, which is why I treat the area as one connected search market.
I work with local businesses remotely rather than from a storefront. The point is not proximity, it is the quality of the account: clean structure, honest reporting and targeting that matches how Shelby County customers actually search.
Sources: population and place data from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (2024 5-year estimates) and the Census Gazetteer; targeting options as documented in the Google Ads Help Center. Figures for Memphis, TN are rounded.
Most underperforming Memphis campaigns I audit struggle with some combination of the following.
In a market this size, a roofing, legal, medical or home-service company in Memphis can face dozens of bidders on the same keywords. Cost per click rises, impression share is contested, and generic campaigns quickly overspend. The fix is segmentation: separate campaigns for emergency, high-value and research searches, each with its own bid and message.
Targeting only the Memphis city limits can miss customers in Germantown, Southaven and Horn Lake. Targeting the whole of Shelby County pulls in clicks from areas you do not serve. I would start with about a 15-mile service area around Memphis, then use real conversion data to add or remove communities one by one.
Hot, humid summers, occasional ice storms and a busy spring moving season mean demand for HVAC, roofing, pest control and moving services rises and falls in predictable waves.
Searches such as “memphis emergency repair,” “best dentist in Memphis,” or “attorney near me” carry strong commercial intent, but so do many research queries. Separating them and matching each to the right landing page is what protects conversion rate.
A four-step setup built around how Shelby County customers search, not a generic template.
Start with about a 15-mile radius around Memphis, then include or exclude Germantown, Southaven and Horn Lake based on where your customers and jobs really come from.
Build around service-plus-place searches and “near me” phrases, keep research queries separate, and add negative keywords from day one so budget stays on buyers.
Phone calls, form fills and booked jobs are tracked as conversions, so Smart Bidding learns from real local leads instead of empty clicks.
I read the actual searches that triggered your ads, block waste, add winners and shift budget toward the areas and hours that convert.
A clear plan, so you know what happens to your budget from the first week onward.
Before any budget goes up, the account has to tell the truth. I verify conversion tracking, remove duplicate or broken goals, set the service area properly and block the irrelevant searches that most local accounts quietly pay for.
This phase turns the account into a system: campaigns split by service and intent, responsive search ads tested against each other, call and location assets switched on and a bidding strategy chosen to match how much conversion data the account has.
By the third month the goal is predictable growth. I scale budgets only where cost per lead holds, test landing-page changes, add nearby areas such as Germantown when they convert, and send a clear monthly report you can check against your own sales.
Management is hands-on and transparent. Every month includes:
Large metros carry more competition, so budget is less about the total and more about concentration. It is usually better to fund two or three high-value services fully than to spread the same money across every service you offer. Your media budget is paid directly to Google from your own account, and my management fee is quoted separately after the review, so you always see exactly where the money goes. There are no long lock-in contracts: if the numbers do not justify continuing, you keep the account, the data and everything that was built.
In a market as large as Memphis, industry-specific structure matters. Start with the guide closest to your business.
Send me your website and current setup. I will point out the waste I would fix first, with no obligation.
Send me your website and a few details about your business through the form on this page or book a 30-minute call. I review your account or opportunity first, show you where budget is leaking and what I would fix first, and only then do we talk about working together. The first review is free and there is no obligation.
Yes. I run Google Ads for Memphis businesses from my office in Washington, DC, over video calls, WhatsApp and email. The ads are geo-targeted to the exact areas you serve in Shelby County, so local customers see them while out-of-area clicks are excluded. You get the same account access and reporting as you would from a local consultant.
There are two separate costs: the media budget you pay Google for clicks, and the fee for managing it. Click costs in Memphis depend on your category and the number of advertisers bidding on the same searches; the management fee depends on the size and complexity of the account. I quote only after reviewing your account, so you know the fee before you commit.
Not if the account is built around profit rather than volume. With about 618,980 residents, Memphis attracts plenty of advertisers, but most of them bid broadly. A tighter structure, strict negative keywords and landing pages matched to each search let a smaller budget compete on the searches that actually convert.
Yes. Campaigns can target a radius around Memphis or a list of specific communities and ZIP codes. For example, Germantown (10.7 mi), Southaven (10.9 mi) and Horn Lake (11.8 mi) can be included or excluded individually, with separate bids if they convert differently. I usually begin with roughly a 15-mile service area and adjust it using real conversion data.
Most accounts need two to four weeks to gather enough data for Smart Bidding to learn, and the first changes I make are usually about stopping wasted spend, which can be visible in days. Lead volume and cost per lead then improve as search terms, ads and landing pages are refined against real Memphis conversion data.
Yes. The account is yours from the start. I work inside it with the access you grant, you can see everything I do, and you can remove my access at any time.
Many local businesses also serve customers in nearby communities. I also work with businesses in:
