Google Ads is one of the staples of paid marketing and taps into a multitude of formats and ad networks. I built Salad's Google Ads account from <$1k/mo to $100k+/mo in 3 months, while maintaining a very profitable LTV:CAC. Over my career so far, I've spent in excess of $6mm across 40+ clients. I'm proficient at kickstarting, optimising and scaling. I can help you audit and benchmark your current activity and develop a strategy to optimise the ROI of this channel amongst your marketing stack.

How does it works?

Step 1. Browse mentors

Browse through our list of Google Ads mentors using the filters. Make sure to read their profiles and reviews in depth, and make your choice.

Step 2. Send session request

Found the perfect mentor for you? Awesome, time to request a call. Tell them a bit about your situation, choose a time, and get it set on your calendar.

Step 3. Get on 1:1 call

Time for the call, yay! Make sure you show up on time and prepared to make the most out of it. Pro tip: Ask your mentor if it’s ok to record the screen so you can take notes later.

Why talk to a Google Ads mentor?

You can talk to your Google Ads mentor about whatever you want.

A very common use case for talking to a Google Ads mentor is using them as a sounding board to get feedback on your Adwords strategy. You can set up a screen share and show how your Google Ads campaign to your mentor. They’ll give you 1:1 advice on how to optimize your campaigns, ad groups, and ads.

It’s a lot faster to learn by asking questions directly to experts than by passively consuming content on the internet.

Here are some ideas for inspiration:

You’re considering outsourcing your Google Ads to an agency or freelancer but just aren’t sure
You’ve got a few campaigns running with decent conversions but want a quick audit in realtime of how everything’s structured
You’re thinking of offering Adwords services yourself and want a bit of career advice from those that have “been there and done that.”
You’re not using the full range of ad extensions and you want some help on setting them up
You’re looking for second opinions on your ad copy

Google Ads Mentorship for Beginners

Speaking to a Google Ads mentor can help you avoid most of the silly mistakes that beginners make. But if you’re not lucky enough to have a colleague or friend that’s willing to mentor you, it’s hard to find one!

The best Google Ads experts usually charge between $90-150 per hour. This is out of budget for most beginners to spend on mentorship or advice, so they view it as a “luxury” and just move on without any mentorship. Instead of learning under the wing of someone with real-world experience, they try and learn the hard way.

What ends up usually happening:

Spend countless hours reading blog posts and watching courses.
After a while, you build up a false sense of confidence and jump headfirst into building your first campaign.
3 days later, no conversions, OMG!
You shut off your campaign and convince yourself, “Google Ads don’t work for my business.”

Google Ads Mentorship for Hiring Managers

At this point you might decide that you aren’t the best fit for managing your Google Ads. Not everyone’s cut out to be a Google Ads expert. If you’ve got other things to do, like running your business, outsourcing Google Ads management is a no brainer.

How a GrowthMentor can help you if you’re in this position:

Get help with hiring: Should I hire a Google Ads freelancer, agency, or hire someone fulltime for an inhouse position?
Get help with vetting Google Adwords experts: How do I know if the people applying for the position really know their stuff?
Get help with negotiating contracts: Here is the proposal I received from my Google Ads expert, is it reasonable or are they overpricing me?

Here are some tips on how to get the maximum bang for your time on growth mentor calls.

Come into this with realistic expectations. They’re mentors, not magicians.
Ask your mentor if they’d be cool with you recording your screen with Loom
Give contextual information to help paint the picture of your current situation.
Growth mentors will be asking you lots of questions, answer them as honest as possible.
Don’t be afraid to push the boundaries of question asking. Be inquisitive. Stories are gold.
Don’t feel pressure, just relax. There’s no right/wrong way to do this. Avoid binary thinking.
Try to form mental patterns, especially if you speak with multiple mentors. Pay attention to metadata.
Embrace alternative views. Ask the mentors to play devil’s advocate and challenge your assumptions.
Be friendly and authentic. If you’re likable, the mentors will be your biggest supporters (even after the call is over).

Yup! Many of the mentors offer monthly coaching packages for members who want to really dive deep into a specific area.

Each mentor creates their own package so what they offer and the price vary from mentor to mentor. You can find their coaching info at the top of their profile.
