Job Description

We are an internet marketing agency based in Northern NJ, working with small, medium, and large home service businesses and franchises to optimize their paid, local, and organic performance on Google and Bing. A core focus of our work is managing and scaling high-performing Google Ads campaigns—leveraging smart bidding strategies, advanced targeting, and continuous A/B testing to maximize lead generation and conversion. In addition to campaign management, we’re developing tools to better connect the dots between strategy, data, and return on ad spend (ROAS), giving our clients deeper insight into what’s driving real growth.

This position offers full remote flexibility, with the option to work from our Pompton Plains, NJ office if preferred. You’ll manage key accounts and play a hands-on role in helping each client generate hundreds of new customers each month through performance-driven search advertising.

  2. Proactively recommend and implement optimization strategies to improve lead volume and uncover new growth opportunities through campaign optimization, budget adjustments, and targeting refinements.
  3. Continuously track key performance metrics (e.g., impressions, clicks, conversions, and ROAS) and identify anomalies or areas of underperformance.
  4. Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as SEO, website content, and Google Business Profile teams.
  5. Participate in weekly and monthly client meetings to provide detailed KPIs and action items.

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of Performance Max (PMax), Demand Gen & YouTube Ads.
  • Audience management (contextual, look-alikes, affinity groups for targeting).

The ideal candidate has at least 2 years of Google Ads experience, loves testing new PPC strategies, and thrives on analyzing trends. They ask “why,” enjoy working with data, and can translate insights into actionable items. They work independently, collaborate well, and can turn challenging customers into raving fans.
