Noah Kain Consulting
Noah Kain’s Executive Assistant moved a long-delayed CRM project forward, at $1,500+ a month less than a local hire.
The Problem
Search Spend Leaks Quietly.
Google will happily spend your budget on broad matches, junk placements and branded clicks you’d have won anyway. Hire someone who manages the account like it’s their own money.
01
Wasted Spend
Broad match and auto-applied recommendations drift into queries that never buy. Nobody checks the search terms report.
02
Vanity Reporting
Clicks and CTR look great. Revenue, cost per lead and margin aren’t in the report.
03
Set-and-Forget Accounts
Campaigns launched a year ago still run on the same keywords, bids and ads.
The Role
What a Strong Google Ads Specialist Owns
The day-to-day work that keeps a Google Ads account profitable.
01
Search Campaigns
Keyword research, match types, negatives and ad copy built around buyer intent.
02
Shopping & Performance Max
Feed hygiene, product groups and asset groups for eCommerce accounts.
03
Bidding & Budgets
Bid strategies and budgets set against target CPA or ROAS, and adjusted as data comes in.
04
Tracking & Conversions
Conversion actions, tags and offline imports checked, so the algorithm optimizes for the right thing.
05
Reporting
Weekly reports tied to leads, revenue and margin that a founder or client can read in two minutes.
06
Agency Delivery
For agencies: runs several client accounts to the same standard and joins client calls.

How We Screen
Accounts They’ve Grown. Money They’ve Saved.
Certifications prove they passed a test. An account audit shows how they think.
01
Define the Seat
Search only, or Shopping and Performance Max too? Lead gen or eCommerce? Your own account or client accounts?
02
Audit a Real Account
Share read-only access to one account and ask what they’d change first, and why.
03
Talk Numbers
Ask for results in CPA, ROAS and spend managed, not just “improved performance.”
04
Test Reporting
Have them explain last month’s results to a non-marketer. Clients pay for clarity.
Where We Recruit
Great Google Ads Specialists Aren’t Limited to One Market.
Our Pricing Guide names Latin America as the best region for Media Buyers, the closest role it tracks. We start with the role, then pick the market.
01
Eastern Europe
Where HireUA started. We’ve placed people from 24 countries in the region, including Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Serbia. Strong for development, design and specialist work that needs independent judgment.
02
Latin America
The Pricing Guide’s best region for Media Buyers, with strong US time-zone overlap for accounts that need same-day changes.
03
The Philippines
Deep remote-work experience. Strong value for support, admin and repeatable production work where reliability and consistency matter.
04
South Africa
Excellent English and strong customer-facing talent, with natural overlap into the European workday and the US East Coast morning.
05
Middle East
Specialists and cross-functional talent, including Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey, when the role calls for it.
There’s no best country to hire from. There’s a best market for the job: experience, communication, working hours and pay decide where we search.

Our Pricing Guide tracks Media Buyers, who manage Google, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, at $2,500–$4,500 a month depending on seniority. We benchmark a Google-only specialist for each search. That’s what the person earns, not HireUA’s fee.
Google Ads Specialist or Media Buyer?
A Google Ads Specialist goes deep on search intent, Shopping feeds and Performance Max. A Media Buyer usually manages several platforms. If most of your spend is on Meta, see our Meta Ads Specialist page.
Can they manage client accounts for my agency?
Yes, if you hire for it. Mighty Orbit hired a Performance Marketing Manager to run campaign execution, reporting and client communication.
Do they handle tracking and conversion setup?
They should. Include your analytics and tag setup in the brief and we’ll screen for it.
How quickly can I interview candidates?
Qualified candidates are presented within 5 days of kickoff. Total time to hire depends on how quickly you interview and decide.
How does HireUA charge?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.
