Target ROAS bidding: how to set a target that’s actually profitable
Google's target ROAS bidding chases the return you ask for. The hard part is the number itself. Here's how the strategy works…
Consulting · Marketing team training
Our marketing team training gives in-house teams hands-on workshops in Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO and tracking, run on your own accounts, plus written SOPs they keep using after we leave. It starts with a free account audit report within 2 workdays.
200+ clients served 500+ projects delivered
Free and no obligation. We only need your website to start.
Free account audit
Three fields and you’re done. We look at your ad accounts, analytics, SEO and routines the way a trainer would before the first workshop, then write up where your team needs help most.
Your PDF report comes by email. If you want to discuss going ahead after reading it, we’ll set up a video meeting. We use your details only for this audit.
Proof
Reports from accounts and sites the trainers run today, the same work the workshops teach. Clients are anonymized and shown with permission. They show the trainers’ own work, not results from a team we trained.




What the proof shows
The reports show that the people running the workshops run real Search, Meta and SEO work every week, with results you can check. They don’t show a trained team’s results, because those depend on the team, the time it gets and the accounts it inherits.
Kashif has trained the people he worked with: as Digital Operations Head for a hospital client he ran the team that handled listings, ads and patient reviews, and the routines in our SOPs come from running client accounts since 2021.
The 20 checks
The same 20 checks on every account, so the training plan covers what your team actually gets wrong, not a generic syllabus.
Campaign structure, search terms, negative keywords and creative testing in Google Ads and Meta Ads.
Which checks happen daily, weekly and monthly, who does them and whether they are written down.
Who has which access level in Google Ads, Analytics, Meta and the store, and who would lock you out if they left.
Key events, conversion tags and UTM tags, and whether the team trusts the numbers it reports.
What the team reports, how often, and whether each report ends with a decision.
A PDF report with the gaps on your own accounts and a suggested set of workshops.

How we work
Most training fails because it happens on a demo account and is forgotten by Monday. Our marketing team training happens on your own Google Ads, Meta, Analytics and store accounts, with your own campaigns on the screen. Each session ends with the team doing the task themselves while we watch, and a written SOP for doing it again. A typical programme is six workshops over six weeks, two hours each, for an in-house team of two to ten people.
The marketing workshops follow the gaps the audit finds. The usual set: Google Ads search terms and negatives, Shopping and Performance Max feeds, Meta Ads creative testing and audiences, SEO for product and collection pages, tracking and key events, and reporting that ends in decisions. Between sessions the team takes the free courses that match: Google’s Skillshop for Google Ads certification and Meta Blueprint for Meta’s courses and certifications.
Certifications are a useful floor, not the goal. As of October 2026, Google’s page on becoming a Google Partner asks agencies to have at least 50% of their account strategists certified, which shows how much Google values the basics. We go past them into the judgement calls: when to pause a keyword, when a creative is tired, when a drop in clicks is a tracking problem and not a ranking one.
Marketing SOPs are what remain after the workshops. Each one is a short, numbered checklist with screenshots: the weekly search terms review, budget pacing, the monthly SEO check, launching a sale, posting on the Business Profile. They live in your shared drive, the team edits them as the platforms change, and a new hire can follow them in their first week.
Training on live accounts needs safe access. We set each trainee’s level in Google Ads using the Admin, Standard, Read-only, Email-only and Billing levels in Google’s access levels guide, and review their changes in change history, which records who made each change. On Meta, business portfolio permissions separate full control from partial access, as explained in Meta’s permissions guide.
We measure training like any other marketing work. The audit at the start gives a baseline (wasted spend, untracked conversions, missed routines), and we repeat it eight weeks after the last session. For teams that want a senior lead after the training, our fractional CMO service runs the weekly review with them, and SEO consulting covers deeper search questions.

What’s included
The audit is free. If you want us to train your team, this is the work.
Two hours each, live or on video call, on your own accounts.
A checklist with screenshots for every routine taught, in your shared drive.
A real task after each session, reviewed before the next one.
The right access level for each trainee in Google, Meta and your store.
Every session recorded for new hires and for revision.
A weekly WhatsApp window for questions during the programme.
The same 20 checks eight weeks after the last session, to show what changed.

How we work
Nothing is charged until you have seen the gaps and the price.

You send your website; within 2 workdays you get the PDF report and a suggested training plan.

Hands-on workshops in Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, tracking and reporting, chosen by what the audit finds. Each one ends with a written SOP your team keeps.
Yes. The 20 checks, the PDF report and the video meeting cost nothing and come with no obligation. You only pay if you then ask us to train your team, at a fixed price agreed first.
Yes, with access levels set so nobody can break anything they shouldn’t. Real campaigns make the lessons stick, and the team fixes real problems while learning.
A typical programme is six two-hour workshops over six weeks, with homework in between. Smaller teams or narrower topics can be shorter.
Both work. Video calls suit most teams; in-person days can be arranged for larger teams. Every session is recorded for people who miss it.
A standard operating procedure: a short checklist for a routine task, such as the weekly search terms review, so anyone on the team does it the same way.
Your free audit
Same 20 checks, same PDF report, no obligation. If your team needs a hire more than training, the report says so.
