Tim calls himself a small business adwords expert, but all he did was charge a high hourly rate and wasted $10,000 of my companies money.
STEER CLEAR of Tim! He cost my small business $10,000+ in mistakes.
- Overspent our weekly budget 2 of the 4 weeks he worked for us, 35% and 25%, resulting in $3,000 in overspend.
- Overbilled for hours. In Upwork I gave an allotment of 4 hours per week, with the flexibility of 10 hours in case he had a lot of work on the front end for a week. I explained we can’t exceed 16 hours @ $75 per hour. Instead, Tim billed me for 6-7 hours per week. I was blindsided by the end of the month to see his fees which we did not agree to.
- Added broad match keywords to a variety of keywords resulting in $1,000 in spend and no conversions.
- Added keywords to a campaign before being advised to do so resulting in $2,000 in spend and a terrible conversion rate.
- Without my permission, changed call only campaigns to target CPA to $50+, which resulted in overspending on calls by 5X.
- Ran ads on the weekends resulting in $3,000 in spend over a month which provided zero conversions. Again without my permission.
- Requested I had a special landing page built for a type of marketing campaign, which costs me $100 to build, then said “Oh sorry you don’t qualify.
- Paused location campaigns which my business needs to grow, without my permission.
- Incorrectly added campaigns in geographies we do not do business.
- Do you need a #10? This guy ripped our company off
