Who This Is For

Built for businesses that have outgrown
their current Google Ads setup

You're spending serious money on Google Ads and you're not seeing it properly accounted for. Your agency is running the same playbook they use for every client. Your internal team is capable but lacks senior strategic direction. And every month that passes is another month of inefficient spend.

DDA: Advisory works directly with your team. We audit what's broken, rebuild the structure, implement the strategy, and then train your people so you own the capability permanently.

  • You're spending $50k+ per month on Google Ads At this level, structural decisions โ€” campaign architecture, bid strategy, data infrastructure โ€” cost you far more than any management fee if they're wrong.
  • You have an internal marketing team They're smart and they're executing. What's missing is a senior Google Ads strategist who can set the direction and hold the standard.
  • You've been burned by agencies Opaque reporting, junior account managers, incentives misaligned with your growth. You don't want another agency. You want capability that stays with your business.
  • You're planning to scale aggressively Whether you're doubling ad spend, entering new markets, or restructuring across multiple brands, the foundation needs to be right before you pour fuel on it.
This engagement is not for
  • Businesses spending less than $50,000/month on Google Ads
  • Businesses looking for a fully outsourced management service
  • Businesses unwilling to involve internal team members in the process
For $5kโ€“$50k/month budgets

If your business is spending between $5k and $50k/month, our DDA On Demand program is specifically built for your stage โ€” the same expert access at a price point that fits your growth phase.

About Aaron

The expert.
Not the brand.

Most Google Ads consultants either manage campaigns or teach them. Aaron does both, simultaneously, at the highest level. Campaigns for Suzuki, Omega, and Swisse sit alongside boutique engagements and a weekly coaching programme for 5,000+ members.

That combination of active campaign management at scale, plus 15 years of teaching the methodology to hundreds of internal teams, is exactly what DDA: Advisory delivers to enterprise clients.

There are no juniors handling your account. No account managers reading from a script. When you engage DDA: Advisory, you engage Aaron directly.

"I still manage campaigns with budgets over $750k per month. That's not because I have to. It's because staying current is what makes the advice worth anything."
