Володимир Петриченко · Google Ads specialist and marketer

Since 2019 I have been working with Google Ads, Google Merchant Center and end-to-end analytics for businesses that care more about profit than pretty reports. My background as a COO and CMO helps me understand the business, not just the ad account.

My story

Why I moved from operations management to Google Ads

Back at university I loved programming and every kind of math. I have an engineering, mathematical mindset — I’ve always loved numbers. I think I saw Google Analytics before Google Ads, and I knew right away: this is what I want to do — development or analytics.

In operations management, marketing was always part of my job. And I realized two things: marketing can be managed, and it must be measured. Without measurement, marketing turns into image work.

The closest fit for that vision was the role of marketing director at a sushi delivery chain: I was responsible for both marketing and the business numbers. Then I started working with Google Ads on my own — and realized I had to focus on one thing. Before, I did everything: SEO, social ads, email marketing, offline marketing. But you can only master and monetize one thing.

I chose performance marketing, already understanding that analytics is the foundation of advertising. Hence the tools you see in my work: end-to-end analytics, integrations, CRM systems — all tied into Google Ads.

I look at advertising purely through numbers. You won’t hear “I feel” or “it seems to me” from me — my approach is entirely data-driven. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to Google Ads and everything that makes it better, more effective and more manageable.
Path

From waiter to operations director, CMO and Google Ads

2009 — 2017

Hospitality: from waiter to operations director

Waiter, administrator, manager, then operations director. This is where I learned to see a business from the inside: revenue, costs, people and processes.

2018

Searching for new directions

Director of a coworking chain, regional director of a fast-food chain and B2B sales manager selling franchises for BFI Service.

2019

First Google Ads projects and marketing director

My first Google Ads campaigns and work as marketing director of a sushi delivery chain — 15 locations at the time. I saw advertising from the perspective of a C-level executive and business owners.

2020 — today

Agencies, then going solo

First I worked at marketing agencies — at least three of them. Then I went solo: I got tired of agencies and the endless tasks piling on top of each other. Today — 150+ projects in 12+ countries.

Principles

How I work

Forecast

3 scenarios before launch

Pessimistic, base, optimistic. If none of them pays off, I honestly say it’s not worth launching.

Results

Performance only

I work for orders, sales and profit. I don’t do brand-awareness advertising or PR.

Format

Solo, no agency

You talk to the person who runs your account. I don’t plan to open an agency — and there are no middlemen.

Horizon

Long-term projects

I take on projects where it makes sense to work for months, not “launch for a month and see what happens”.

Focus

Google ecosystem only

Google Ads, Merchant Center, GA4, GTM, analytics. I don’t do social ads, SEO or SMM.

Honesty

Honest and decent

Honesty is one of my core values. That’s why I work honestly and decently — and that’s exactly why people are ready to recommend me.

A good Google Ads expert works not with clicks, but with the client’s money.
Reviews

What clients say

★★★★★

“It was a pleasure to work with a specialist who really dives into the task instead of giving template recommendations. The audit was very insightful: we found weak spots in the ads, on the website and in the analytics, and got a clear understanding of what to fix first.”

Diana AltynFreelancehunt
★★★★★

“He analyzed the campaigns in detail, identified the key problems and gave clear, practical optimization recommendations. Thanks to his work, it became clearer where to go next and how to improve ad performance.”

Yuriy ProkopovFreelancehunt
★★★★★

“The ads went live the very next day after approval. By day 4 we already had several leads, even though Volodymyr said it would take a week or two. We’re continuing to work together.”
