✦ Free 30-Day Audit & Strategy · No Commitment · No Contract
Each vertical has tailored Google Ads strategies, keyword recommendations, CPL benchmarks, and city-level guides.
These aren't cherry-picked vanity metrics. They're representative of what happens when experienced strategy meets AI-powered execution.
After 15 years of agencies promising the world, John actually delivered. 43% CPA reduction in 60 days, and I own my accounts for the first time ever.— B2B SaaS Company
The 250-point audit found $3,200/month in wasted spend we didn't know existed. The free audit alone was worth more than what most agencies deliver in 6 months.— E-Commerce Brand
The combination of John's strategic experience and his AI tooling is unlike anything I've seen. Two months in and our ROAS has nearly doubled with the same budget.— Home Services Company
This is what AI-powered advertising looks like. Buddy monitors your campaigns 24/7, surfaces insights you'd never find manually, and acts on them.
Retail businesses often run generic advertising campaigns that don't account for the nuances of each specific service. A plumber campaign needs fundamentally different keywords, bidding strategies, and landing pages than an electrician campaign — yet most agencies treat them identically because it's easier to manage at scale.
The result is wasted spend, missed opportunities, and a growing frustration with "digital marketing" as a category. Agencies manage each retail vertical in isolation, missing cross-service optimization opportunities that could dramatically reduce cost per lead across your entire business.
The retail search landscape changes constantly. Without AI-powered keyword monitoring, you miss emerging search trends and waste budget on declining terms. By the time your quarterly report arrives, the opportunities have already passed.
We'll audit your retail campaigns free and show you exactly what's happening.
Each of our 6 retail verticals has custom keyword strategies, ad copy templates, and bidding rules built from years of managing campaigns at scale. This isn't templated — it's earned intelligence applied to your specific market.
Running multiple retail service lines? Cross-service intelligence means learnings from one vertical improve performance across all others. Shared audience insights, coordinated bidding, and unified negative keyword lists eliminate the redundancy that plagues multi-service advertisers.
Buddy AI scans search term reports daily, adding negatives and identifying new opportunities before they become expensive to compete on. This is the kind of continuous optimization that requires either a full-time analyst or purpose-built AI. We chose the latter.
Most advertising platforms promise automation. What they actually deliver is a dashboard and a junior account manager reading from a script. googleadsagent.ai exists because John Williams spent 15 years watching that model fail — and decided to build something fundamentally different.
At NortonLifeLock / Gen Digital, John drove 192% year-over-year growth in paid customer acquisition. That wasn't incremental. That was a complete transformation of how a Fortune 500 company acquires customers through paid media. Before that, campaigns for GM, Eventbrite, Prudential, Columbia, Harvard, Grand Canyon University, and Farmers Insurance — each with different business models, different audiences, and different definitions of success.
Today, as Lead, Paid Media at Seer Interactive — one of the top digital agencies in the US — John oversees strategy across Google Ads, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The difference between googleadsagent.ai and every other option: you get the strategist, not a team of strangers.
John didn't just learn about AI — he built it. 28 purpose-built AI agents, all open-sourced at github.com/itallstartedwithaidea. Each one solves a specific advertising problem that manual processes can't.
Buddy AI is the centerpiece: a conversational agent that monitors your campaigns in real-time, surfaces insights you'd never find manually, and acts on them before budget is wasted. It's not a dashboard you log into. It's an agent that works for you around the clock.
The 250-Point Audit Engine systematically analyzes every dimension of an advertising account — from keyword architecture to Quality Score distribution to landing page alignment. What takes a human consultant two weeks takes the engine 24 hours, with greater precision and zero blind spots.
Keyword Intelligence, Performance Anomaly Detection, Cross-Platform Attribution — these aren't features in a vendor's product roadmap. They're live, running, and available to every client from day one.
John writes extensively on the intersection of AI and advertising. His LinkedIn articles — read by thousands of marketers — cover everything from automated bid management to the future of search advertising in an AI-first world. He was a featured speaker at Hero Conf 2025 in San Diego, presenting frameworks for AI-powered campaign optimization that are now being adopted by agencies across the country.
This isn't theory. Every insight comes from managing real campaigns at scale — from NortonLifeLock's multi-million dollar acquisition programs to the local service businesses that make up the backbone of American commerce. MBA from Grand Canyon University. WSU football player turned Casteel High School coach. The kind of person who brings intensity to everything he touches.
