At an agency
A junior runs your account while learning on your spend.
With me
I run your account. A decade in. Same hands every week.
Everything between the click and the customer.
I own the whole arc from the first click to the paying customer. Ecommerce and service businesses. One senior on strategy and execution, direct line to the founder.
Trusted by founders and agencies running real budgets
01 The brief
Built on the work.
Not the deck.
I do not come from a traditional marketing background. I started in design, learned how people think, and turned that into profit.
Decade in, $15M+ managed. I work with founders the way the agency was supposed to. Senior on the call, senior on the keyboard, written summary every Monday.
The agency model is not bad on purpose. It is bad because the senior who sold you the engagement is rarely the person doing your work. I am here to be the senior and the operator. Same person.
02 Services
Strategy on top.
Execution underneath.
Seven disciplines, one engagement: The Operator Engagement. The same senior runs every layer of your marketing program, no agency stack in between.

03 Process
How the work runs.
Four phases. No discovery calls that drag for three weeks. No deck for the sake of a deck.
- 01
Diagnostic call
Thirty minutes. You bring the account and the goals. I walk in with a tracking audit and a read on where the leak is.
- 02
Strategy + scope
Inside one week I send back a written strategy: positioning read, channel mix, tracking plan, scaling plan, KPIs, working timeline.
- 03
Rebuild + ship
Tracking goes first. Ads next. Strategy work runs in parallel through weekly working sessions. Founder on every key decision.
- 04
Weekly cadence
Same time every week, just you and me. What changed, what I am testing, what to kill. Decisions in the call, not in a deck a week later.
04 Selected work
Numbers first.
The story is inside.
Ecommerce (WooCommerce) Conversion tracking
gcs=G1-- (denied) consent state on beacons, before
A WooCommerce brand's visitors were accepting the cookie banner, and the Google beacons still fired with consent denied. The free tier of the consent platform never told Google about the yes. The ad account had been bidding on modeled data for users who had opted in. The fix was a small PHP snippet at the right priority.

Home Services Conversion tracking + Google Ads
0 website conversions recording, before
A contractor's phones were slowing and the account said website leads were zero. They were not zero. The only website conversion had been silently dead since someone renamed a form button from Send to Submit, breaking the click-text trigger behind it. The rebuilt trigger fired its first real conversion within two weeks, and the cleanup behind it collapsed rank-lost impression share to under one percent.

Professional Services Call intelligence + value-based bidding
236 phone calls scored in the first pass
Part two of the law firm engagement. The account had clean tracking and qualified-call conversions, but every conversion imported at zero dollars, so Smart Bidding treated a $2,500 document review and a $15,000 litigation case as equals. I built a call-scoring system that reads every recorded paid call, prices it with the firm's own numbers, and feeds real matter value back into bidding. $1.32M in case value was written onto qualified leads, and the value is verifiably arriving on the primary conversion actions Google optimizes toward.

“Conner is incredible at what he does. He knows what he is doing at a high level but is also able to break everything down and explain it to someone like me who wants to know every little detail.”

Owner, Spokane Pro Movers
★★★★★Conner has become such an important part of our small business journey. From the moment he created our very first logo to building our entire website and shaping our brand along the way, he has poured his creativity, heart, and talent into everything he's done for us. His work hasn't just met our expectations. It has meant something to us. Every time, he delivers exactly what we didn't even know we needed. We don't just recommend Conner. We're genuinely grateful for him. There is no one else we would ever want to trust with our business's image and story. He listens, he cares, and he brings our ideas to life in the most thoughtful and beautiful way.

★★★★★Conner has helped us with several Facebook ads and optimizing our Google presence, and he has been absolutely fantastic to work with. He is incredibly responsive, works quickly and diligently, and holds himself to the highest standards. What really stands out is how well he listens so he can make thoughtful, strategic recommendations tailored to our needs. I highly recommend Conner and will definitely be using his services again.

★★★★★What a great experience with Conner. I did a search because I had been having trouble managing things on my own and his name popped up. Glad it did.

Chris Lee
★★★★★Conner helped us solve a Meta problem that we spent weeks trying to solve with a client that prevented us from closing the deal and getting them signed up. He saved the day in less than 15 minutes and I can't express how much we appreciate having him in our corner.
07 FAQ
The questions
founders ask first.
What services do you offer?
I work with founders and owners as their senior marketing operator. Full strategy and the execution to back it up. Marketing roadmap, scaling plan, paid acquisition across Google and Meta, conversion tracking, and the weekly working sessions to keep it moving. One person on it, not a team of juniors.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
At most agencies the owner sells the work, an account manager runs the relationship, and a junior runs your account. Three layers of telephone before the work reaches your campaigns. With me there is one layer. Same person on the strategy call, on the keyboard, and on the weekly summary.
Project work versus monthly retainer?
Both. One-time projects make sense for a clean tracking rebuild, a strategy sprint, or an audit. Monthly retainers make sense when you want me embedded as a fractional senior marketing lead, meeting weekly with the founder and running the program. I will tell you on the call which one fits your situation.
How long does a full setup take?
A clean tracking rebuild takes one to three weeks depending on the stack. A full Google Ads rebuild runs four to six weeks before the account stabilizes. Meta moves faster, usually two to four weeks. A complete marketing-strategy reset with execution on top of it lives in a 60 to 90 day window.
What makes you different from other marketers?
I lead with the diagnosis, not the credentials. I will not run ads against broken tracking or build a strategy I cannot execute. I work in your account, not over your shoulder, so the work is auditable. And I send a written weekly summary every Monday, so the founder always knows what changed and why.
