Pay-Per-Click Advertising in St. John's
Profitable paid traffic, not just clicks.
Pay-per-click advertising in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador is the fastest way to put your business in front of buyers who are ready to act. But "fastest" doesn't mean "easiest" — wasted ad spend is the most common complaint I hear from St. John's business owners. I build PPC programs across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn that account for your real margins, your sales cycle, and your competition.
Why PPC / Google Ads matters in St. John's
Auction dynamics in St. John's are heavily shaped by offshore oil and government buyers. CPC can swing wildly between core hours, neighborhoods, and device types. I use geo-radius targeting, dayparting, and audience layering specific to St. John's's buyer behavior — not the defaults Google's Smart Bidding pushes by default.
St. John's is one of Canada's most underrated tech-startup ecosystems with significant ocean-tech and oil-services activity.

Frequently asked questions
What's a reasonable ad budget to start with?
For most St. John's small businesses, a defensible starting point is $1,500-$3,000/month in ad spend. Enough to gather conversion data within a month, low enough to limit risk while you learn what works.
Can you fix an existing Google Ads account or do you only build from scratch?
I do both. About 70% of new engagements are audits and fixes — usually we recover meaningful waste in the first 30 days before scaling spend.
Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?
No. I charge a flat monthly retainer based on scope. % of spend creates a conflict of interest — your interest is profit, not spend volume.
