Google Ads · Finland

I start with your numbers. Media buying is the easy part.

Over ten years of paid search for some of the largest advertisers in Finland. I work out what a customer is worth to you, what the margin carries and what the cash flow allows. Then I buy traffic.

Services

Three things, done properly.

01
Google Ads, run end to end

Search, Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube, Demand Gen. Your account, your data, my hands on it. Monthly fee.

02
Commercial analysis

Margin per product, customer acquisition cost, payback period, seasonality. The numbers that decide what the account is allowed to do.

03
Account and feed audit

What the account is actually spending on, what the Shopping feed is hiding, and what a second set of eyes would change first.

The difference

I have never bought media. I have bought market.

Most of the trade is media buying: budgets, bids, platforms. That is the part a platform can teach anyone. The part that decides whether the advertising is worth doing is the business underneath it.

  • Gross margin — which products can carry paid traffic at all, and which ones only look like they can.
  • Cash flow — what the account is allowed to spend this month, not what the annual plan says.
  • Purchasing and stock — buying from China, lead times, what happens when the best-selling item runs out.
  • Margin structure and VAT — how the numbers move between price, margin and what is left.
  • Customer acquisition cost — the ceiling the business can pay, worked out from the margin, not copied from a benchmark.
  • Lifetime value — an overused term, and still the only way to know what a first order is really worth.
Google recommends what sells Google. I recommend what sells you.

How I work

The account follows the business, not the platform.

There is no single way to run these accounts. A volume-driven retailer and a high-margin specialist need the opposite decisions, and both of them are right. Everything starts from the business model.

What I doWhat is usually done
Optimise for margin and cash flow Optimise for conversions the platform reports
Derive the target from what the margin can carry Accept the target ROAS the platform suggests
Auto-apply off, every change argued for Recommendations applied automatically
Structure built around products that earn One campaign, everything in the feed
Search terms and negatives reviewed every week Broad match left to learn
  • You own the account, the data and the tracking. Nothing is nested under my manager account.
  • I say no to Google when the recommendation sells media rather than results.
  • You get one person who knows your numbers, not a team that rotates.

Experience

Where the ten years have been spent.

Sectors, not logos. Client names stay out of it — the ones worth knowing about come up in a conversation, not on a wall. Different businesses, different rules, the same question every time: what does a customer cost and what is one worth.

Want a Google Ads partner who starts with the business?

The useful time to talk is before the budget is locked, not after. Tell me what you sell and what it costs you, and I will tell you whether paid search is worth it.
