Google Ads Freelancer · Agency, personal touch
Looking for a Google Ads freelancer: direct contact, agency structure.
You work directly with me, Mijo Jurisic: I build and manage your account myself, with no account manager and no junior. On top of that you get an agency's structure: I hand over setup and tracking with documentation, and the prices are published.

Google Ads freelancer or agency? An owner-led agency with direct access
Both models can be the right choice: a freelancer gives you a direct line, an agency has capacity for several workstreams. MJ Marketing is an owner-led agency, you work directly with me, with no account manager in between. I usually review your search terms myself every week, the account runs in your name and the prices are published: management from €1,000 per month. German audio with German captions.

Who runs your account
Mijo Jurisic, Google Ads consultant, founder of MJ Marketing.
Working in Google Ads since 2021: self-taught on my own online projects, then a deep dive into auction mechanics and conversion tracking. In 2023-24 I worked as a Google Ads consultant on behalf of Google for direct Google Ads customers and top agencies in the DACH region. Across my entire career, that adds up to 500+ Google Ads accounts and €22M in media budget under my responsibility.
Since 2024 I have run MJ Marketing as an owner-led agency. In my experience, people searching for a Google Ads freelancer want to talk directly to the person who works on the account. That is exactly how I work: whoever advises you in the first call also builds and optimises your account afterwards. No junior handover, no long lock-in.

Three routes
Freelancer, agency or the route in between.
- Route 1
Google Ads freelancer
Often a good fit for a clearly defined project in one channel, when you want a direct line to the person doing the work. In my experience, many freelancers are deeply specialised. Check beforehand how holidays and sick days are covered and whether the account runs in your name.
- Route 2
Classic agency
Plays to its strengths when several things are open at once, such as ads, tracking and website, and you need capacity beyond one channel. Ask who specifically works on your account and how much time it gets.
- Route 3
MJ Marketing: an agency with a freelancer's personal touch
You work directly with me, as personally as with a freelancer. Around that sits the structure of an owner-led agency: published prices and a contract that is cancellable monthly after a 3-month start phase (minimum term). There is no backup person, but the account runs in your name and I hand over setup and tracking with documentation.
How we work together
A freelancer's directness day to day, agency structure behind it.
01
One contact, from the first call on
From the first look at your account to ongoing optimisation, everything stays with me. You explain your business exactly once, and nothing gets lost in a handover.
02
Fixed processes for every account
I hand over setup and tracking with documentation. Optimisation usually happens weekly, and I base budget decisions on data, not gut feeling.
03
Full transparency on account and numbers
The Google Ads account runs in your name, I get admin access. You can see everything I see at any time, and you usually get a monthly report with a call, in plain language.
Pricing
Published prices, a fixed monthly fee.
Ongoing management as a fixed monthly fee, audit and setup one-off. You pay the media budget separately and directly to Google. 3-month start phase (minimum term), then cancellable monthly.
Google Ads Audit
from €500
One-off, usually in 5 working days. No follow-up commitment.
- Review of structure, tracking and search terms
- Report with prioritised actions
- Walkthrough call on the findings
- A good way to get to know me before ongoing management
Ongoing management
from €1,000/mo
Exact amount by account scope, agreed upfront
- Mijo personally on your account, no account manager
- Optimisation usually weekly
- Report with a call, usually monthly
- WhatsApp support directly with Mijo
Account setup
from €1,500
One-off, for starting from zero or a clean rebuild.
- Campaign structure and keyword research
- Ad creation
- Conversion tracking setup
- Handover documentation
Why no hourly rate?
In my experience, many freelancers bill by the hour, and that is a fair model. I still charge ongoing management as a fixed monthly fee: you know upfront what a month costs, and nobody has to weigh every optimisation against the clock. If you only need an occasional second opinion, Google Ads consulting is the right format, and we agree its price upfront.
Contract length
3-month start phase (minimum term), then cancellable monthly.
Cancellation
4 weeks to the end of the month, in writing by email.
Media budget
Separate. Paid directly to Google, not via me.

“I hired MJ Marketing to optimize our Google Ads campaigns, and Mijo did a great job! Within a few weeks we received more qualified enquiries than ever before. Our cost per click went down while the conversion rate went up. Absolutely recommended!”
Google review
“As a small business, we were advised and supported by Mijo as part of his Google Ads management. He introduced us to the world of Google Ads step by step and explained everything in detail. … Since then, our campaigns have been running more efficiently and achieving better results.”
What you don't get
What I deliberately don't do.
Things you may come across when looking for Google Ads help, with freelancers and agencies alike, and that you won't find here:
No handing off your account
The work on your account stays with me: the person you talk to is the person who optimises.
No account manager in between
I answer questions myself, on WhatsApp usually within the working day. No ticket system and no forwarding to someone who first has to get up to speed.
No performance guarantees
Performance depends on market, offer, landing page and competition. Anyone who guarantees you a fixed number can't keep that promise. I commit to how I work, not to what the market does.
No 12-month lock-in
3-month start phase (minimum term) so there is enough data for real decisions, then cancellable monthly. The account belongs to you, also after we stop working together.
