Most agencies are managing your account on autopilot

If you're spending $10k+ a month on Google Ads and not seeing the results you expected, the problem usually isn't your budget — it's who's managing it.

"I'm spending money on Google Ads but nothing is happening."

You're paying Google every month but your phone isn't ringing any more than before. The clicks are there — but they're not turning into customers. It feels like throwing money into a black hole.

→ I audit your Google Ads account and fix exactly what's wasting your budget.

"My Google Ads are running but I have no idea if they're working."

The dashboard is confusing, the numbers don't make sense, and you're not sure what's a real lead vs. a wasted click. Most accounts I audit have zero conversion tracking set up correctly.

→ I fix your tracking so you always know exactly what your Google Ads are delivering.

"My competitors are at the top of Google and I'm not."

You search for your own service and see competitors' ads above yours — or you're not even showing up. They're capturing customers who are ready to buy right now. Those should be your customers.

→ I get your business to the top of Google for the searches that actually drive revenue.

"My current agency sends reports but I don't know what's actually happening."

You're paying a retainer, getting a PDF every month, but you can't get a straight answer on cost per lead or why performance is slipping. You deserve better than that.

→ I give you plain-English reporting and a direct line to the person running your campaigns.

How it works

Three simple steps to more customers

No confusing jargon. Month-to-month, no long-term lock-ins. Just a simple process that gets your business more leads.

1
Free · No obligation

We talk about your business

We start with a free strategy call. You tell me about your business, your goals, and what you've already tried. I'll take a look at your current ads (if you have any) and tell you honestly what's working and what isn't — no charge, no pitch.

2
Custom · Built for you

We agree on your north star — then build around it

Before a single dollar gets spent, we define the one metric that determines success — whether that's cost per lead, calls booked, or revenue generated. Every campaign decision, every optimization, every report ties back to that number. No vanity metrics. No "impressions are up." Just data-driven moves toward the thing that actually matters to your business.

3
Ongoing · You stay in control

Leads start coming in

I launch and manage your campaigns while you focus on your business. You'll get regular, plain-English reports showing exactly how many leads your ads are generating and what it's costing you per customer. More leads, less stress.

Background

13 years inside high-growth companies

Before starting Rose City Results, I spent my career managing Google Ads inside some of the fastest-growing companies in the country — building and running the search campaigns that drove their customer acquisition at scale.

13yr
Google Ads experience

Built and ran search campaigns at scale for high-growth companies

For over a decade I managed Google Search and Shopping campaigns the way most businesses never get access to — aggressive testing, disciplined structure, and relentless focus on what the data actually says. That's the standard I bring to every account I touch.

100%
Google Ads only

A specialist, not a generalist — Google Ads is the only thing I do

Most agencies spread attention across SEO, social, email, and paid ads. I only do Google Ads. That focus means deeper expertise, faster optimizations, and an eye for wasted spend that generalists simply don't develop over a career.

1
Client per market

One client per industry per city — your competitors can't hire me

I only take on one business per industry per market. If I'm working with you, I'm not working with your competitor. It keeps my incentives fully aligned with yours and means every optimization I make is working for you, not against you.

0
Markup on your ad spend

Every dollar of your budget goes to your ads — not my margins

A lot of agencies quietly mark up your ad spend by 15–20%. I charge a flat management fee and that's it. Your Google Ads budget goes entirely to Google, and you can verify that yourself at any time. No games, no hidden fees.

Why Rose City Results

You deserve better than what most agencies actually deliver

Most agencies assign your account to someone junior, charge big retainers, and send confusing reports. Here's what you get with me instead.

You talk directly to the person running your ads — no account managers, no middlemen, no hold music
Month-to-month schedule, no long-term contracts — stay because it's working, not because you're locked in
You own your ad accounts — they're yours forever, even if we stop working together
Plain-English reporting — you'll always know how many leads you got and what they cost, without a decoder ring
No markup on your ad spend — every dollar of your budget goes to your ads, not our margins
Honest advice, even when it's hard — if something isn't working, I'll tell you and fix it, not hide it in a report
One client per market — I only work with one business per industry per city, so your competitor can't hire me
What you get
Your first call is free. We look at your current ads together and I tell you honestly what I see.
You'll know your numbers. Monthly reports in plain English — leads generated, cost per lead, return on spend.
No surprises on your bill. Flat monthly fee, no hidden costs, no percentage of ad spend markups.
Results or we talk. If your ads aren't performing, we have a real conversation about why and what to do next.

About Derek

A Google Ads specialist who actually cares about your business

I'm Derek Davis, a Google Ads specialist with 13 years of hands-on experience. Google Search is where I thrive — I've spent my career inside some of the fastest-growing tech companies, building the search and shopping campaigns that drove their growth.

Now I'm bringing that same expertise to businesses serious about getting more customers from Google — because frankly, you deserve the same level of strategy and execution that big companies pay a lot of money for.

I started Rose City Results because I kept seeing businesses getting burned by agencies that took their money, sent confusing reports, and never really explained what was happening. That's not how I operate.

When you work with me, you get a straight-talking partner who's as invested in your growth as you are. Your wins are my wins.

Common Questions

Answers to what most business owners ask first

No jargon, no runaround. Just straight answers.

How much should I budget for Google Ads on top of your fee?
Most of my clients are spending $10,000–$20,000/month in ad spend and looking to get more out of it. If you're earlier in the process, I'd recommend a minimum of $3,000–$5,000/month to run a competitive Google Search campaign in most markets — less than that and you won't have enough data to optimize effectively. I'll help you figure out the right number for your specific goals and market.
How long before I start seeing results?
If you're already running Google Ads, improvements show up fast — often within the first 2 weeks of optimizations. For new campaigns, most clients see meaningful lead flow within 30–60 days. I'll set realistic expectations upfront and show you exactly what's happening every step of the way.
Do you work with businesses outside the Portland area?
Yes. I work with businesses nationwide. Everything is handled remotely — strategy calls, reporting, account access — and it works just as well as being in the same city.
What's included in the free strategy call?
We look at your current Google Ads account, your goals, and your market. I'll tell you honestly what's working, what's wasting money, and what I'd do differently. No pitch, no pressure — you'll leave with real insights you can act on whether you hire me or not.
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. Everything is month-to-month. I don't believe in holding clients hostage with long contracts. You stay because the results are there — not because you're locked in. I've found that clients who have the freedom to leave stay longer because they actually want to.
I'm already working with an agency — why would I switch?
Most clients who come to me are already spending on ads but not seeing the returns they expected. The difference is attention. At an agency, your account is one of dozens being managed by a junior staffer. With me, you get a 13-year specialist whose only job is making your Google Ads perform. And since everything is month-to-month, there's no risk in finding out.
