Google Ads Consultant in Dublin

TL;DR

A Google Ads consultant in Dublin needs to win Irish searches back from UK advertisers and build separate campaigns for each export market. Engagements open with a one-week audit (≈ €1,400) and continue as managed work inside Growth Foundation at around €3,200 a month, with results reported country by country.

How I work with Dublin teams

Irish auctions are smaller than British ones but often share advertisers with them, so a Dublin account can lose impressions to UK competitors quoting sterling and shipping from Britain. I target the Republic of Ireland as its own location, keep Northern Ireland in a separate campaign when you sell there because shoppers across the border pay in sterling, and write ads that lead with euro prices and Irish delivery. Dublin teams often include people who learned paid search on big-tech budgets; at scale-up spend, fewer campaigns with more conversions each give Smart Bidding enough data to learn. Medtech and pharma advertisers work within tight limits, since prescription medicines cannot be advertised to the Irish public and Google restricts several healthcare categories further, while drinks brands must also respect Ireland's alcohol advertising restrictions. Server-side tagging and Consent Mode v2 keep measurement workable under the Data Protection Commission's demanding cookie guidance.

What’s included

  • Written audit with wasted spend quantified and fixes ranked by impact
  • Conversion tracking rebuilt: primary goals, enhanced conversions and CRM imports
  • Account structure rebuilt around intent, margin and service lines
  • Bidding plan per campaign with targets tied to qualified-lead or profit goals
  • Negative keyword system and a search-term review cadence
  • Merchant Center feed fixes and custom labels for ecommerce accounts
  • Landing-page briefs or builds matched to campaign intent
  • Weekly spend report: what to scale, what to pause, what to test next

The Dublin context

  • With a relatively small home market, Irish companies often go international at a much earlier stage than their peers elsewhere, and their marketing has to work across several countries from the first year.
  • Competition with multinational employers makes senior growth talent hard to hire and retain, which is why many Dublin scale-ups use fractional leadership until they can justify a permanent head of growth.

Tracking and data collection follow GDPR, Irish Data Protection Act 2018 & ePrivacy Regulations 2011. The Data Protection Commission has published cookie guidance that rules out pre-ticked boxes and implied consent from continued browsing, and expects rejecting to be as prominent as accepting. I pair a compliant consent platform with Consent Mode v2 and server-side tagging to keep ad platforms properly informed.

FAQ

Google Ads Consultant in Dublin: FAQ

Should a Dublin company run Ireland, the UK and the US from one Google Ads campaign?

No. At minimum each country gets its own campaigns, budgets, bidding targets and conversion goals, and separate accounts make sense when you bill in different currencies or run a different team per market. That split shows quickly whether the UK or the US is worth scaling.

Can a Dublin fintech or lender advertise financial products on Google?

Yes, if you are authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland or passported in from another EEA state, and you meet Google's financial services policy for Ireland. Credit ads that quote a rate or cost must also carry the standard information Irish consumer credit rules require, such as the APR, so I keep that wording locked into every variation that mentions price.

Can you invoice an Irish company in euro?

Yes. I invoice in EUR or USD. Cross-border business services supplied into Ireland normally fall under the reverse-charge mechanism, so your company self-accounts for Irish VAT; please confirm the treatment with your accountant.

Do you help Irish companies expand into the UK and US?

Yes, that is one of the most common briefs. I plan market-by-market launches with separate keyword research, pricing pages, ad accounts and tracking for each country, so you can see which market is actually profitable.
