Google Ads you can actually measure.

Google Ads management and conversion tracking for local service businesses and online stores. I set up tracking for every call, form and sale first, then run your campaigns on data you can trust. You'll know exactly which ads bring in customers and which ones just spend money.

Verdict: Google Ads is optimizing on incomplete data. Phone leads are invisible and form leads look twice as good as they are.

Examples of what a first audit typically turns up.

Sound familiar?

Most ad accounts run on guesswork.

Money isn't usually lost on bad ads. It's lost on missing tracking. When Google can't see which clicks become customers, it can't find you more of them.

"The phone rings, but I don't know if it's the ads."

Without call tracking, your best leads never show up in Google Ads, and campaigns get cut when they should be scaled.

"My agency sends reports I can't read."

Clicks and impressions don't pay the bills. You should see cost per lead, calls, sales and return on ad spend in plain numbers.

"We spend more every month, results stay flat."

Usually it's broken conversions, a messy structure, or budget stuck on searches and products that never pay off. All of it can be fixed.

Who I work with

Built for businesses where every lead counts.

I take on a small number of clients at a time, so each account gets real attention.

Local service businesses

Your customers call, book or fill out a form. I make sure every one of those leads is traced back to the search that brought it in, then put your budget where the booked jobs come from.

  • Call tracking by source: Google Ads, organic, Business Profile, LSA
  • Search campaigns built around high-intent "near me" and emergency searches
  • Local Services Ads with the Google Guaranteed or Google Screened badge
  • Business Profile optimization and a steady flow of new reviews

Online stores

You sell products and care about return on ad spend. We start by making sure every product view, add to cart and purchase is measured with its real revenue, so budget decisions are based on profit, not guesses.

  • Full e-commerce tracking, from product view to purchase value
  • Professional Merchant Center feed: disapprovals fixed, titles and attributes optimized
  • Shopping & Performance Max structured by margin and best-sellers
  • Remarketing to cart abandoners and past buyers

The whole stack, handled by one person.

Most freelancers only run the ads. I also set up, connect and look after everything the ads depend on, so nothing falls through the cracks between tools.

Google Ads

Every campaign type

The right campaign types for your goals, not Google's default settings. Built from scratch or rebuilt from what you have, then optimized every week.

Merchant Center

Feed creation, optimization and product management: disapprovals fixed, stronger titles and attributes, and full control over which products get budget.

About

Hi, I'm Matt.

I've spent more than 8 years in paid search, managing campaigns for businesses in the US, Canada and Europe, from local service companies to online stores.

I handle every step myself, from understanding your business to reporting the results. Nothing gets passed to a junior account manager or lost between departments, and changes happen quickly because the person you talk to is the person doing the work.

I started MK Digital Performance to work directly with a small group of business owners. You get agency-level experience without the agency layers: one person who knows your account, answers your emails, and explains results in plain English.

How I work

Straightforward by design.

You own everything

Ads, analytics and call tracking accounts are created in your name. If we ever part ways, you keep all of it.

Your ad spend goes straight to Google

Your card is on your account. I never mark up or handle your advertising budget.

Reports you can read

A live dashboard with leads, cost per lead and revenue, not a 40-page PDF of vanity metrics.

Direct line to the expert

You talk to the person doing the work. Replies within one business day.

Every change explained

Important changes are logged with the reason behind them, so you're never left guessing.

No long lock-in

A 3-month start so the work has time to show results, then month to month.

FAQ

Common questions.

What's included in the free initial audit?

Two parts, depending on where you are today:

  • Tracking audit: I check whether calls, forms and sales on your website are tracked correctly and reported to Google Ads.
  • Google Ads audit (if you're already running ads): with read-only access, I review your campaign setup, spend and results to find wasted budget and missed opportunities.

You get a short written summary of the most important findings and a fixed-price quote. No obligation, and the findings are yours to keep either way.

The initial audit focuses on the biggest issues. If you'd like a complete, line-by-line review with a detailed action plan, that's the paid Deep-Dive Audit, and I'll always tell you up front which one you're getting.

How much do your services cost?

Every project gets a fixed quote after the free initial audit. One-time projects like a tracking setup are priced per project. Monthly management is a flat monthly fee based on the size and scope of your account. No hidden fees, and your ad budget always stays separate.

How much should I spend on ads?

It depends on your market and how much a customer is worth to you. For most local service businesses, around $1,500–2,000 a month in ad spend is where results become reliably measurable. We'll set a realistic number together.

How soon will I see results?

Tracking fixes show up right away in your data. Campaign performance usually takes 4–8 weeks to settle as Google learns from the conversions we're now measuring correctly.

How do you use AI?

As a tool, never as a replacement for judgment. AI helps me analyze data faster, test more ad variations and automate routine reporting. Strategy and every change to your account are decided by me.

I also stay on top of the AI features Google keeps adding to Google Ads, such as AI Max for Search, Performance Max and Smart Bidding, and of new AI tools for marketing. Your campaigns use the latest tools that actually improve results, and skip the ones that are just hype.

Do you work with businesses outside Massachusetts?

Yes. I'm based in Attleboro, between Boston and Providence, and work with businesses across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New England and the rest of the US. Everything is done remotely, and calls are scheduled at times that suit you.

Can you take over an account another agency set up?

Yes. I start with an audit, keep what works, fix the tracking and restructure the rest step by step, so performance doesn't drop during the handover.
