Independent eCommerce marketing consultant · strategy and hands-on execution

eCommerce Marketing Consultant for Google Ads, SEO & Meta Ads

I'm Vijay Bhabhor. I work with eCommerce brands that need more than campaign management or occasional advice. I combine senior consulting with hands-on work across Google Ads, SEO, Meta Ads and conversion tracking, so the person shaping the strategy stays close to the account, the data and the decisions that affect performance.

That becomes important when the problem does not belong to one platform. A fall in Google Ads ROAS may start with product margin, Merchant Center data or tracking. Growing SEO traffic may still fail to produce sales because the wrong categories are ranking. Meta Ads may report more purchases while customer acquisition is becoming less profitable. I look across those connections before deciding whether the business needs ongoing management, a focused audit, strategic consulting or a specific technical fix.

Google Ads, SEO & Meta Ads Services for eCommerce Brands

Some brands need me to take direct responsibility for a channel. Others already have a capable team but want an experienced consultant to review bidding, product feeds, SEO priorities, tracking or the way performance is being measured. I work across paid acquisition, organic search and measurement because eCommerce problems rarely stop at the edge of one platform.

A Shopping campaign can be limited by Merchant Center data. Meta can report more purchases while acquisition becomes less profitable. SEO can bring more traffic without improving product or category revenue. The work starts by finding which part of that system is affecting the result, then deciding whether it needs ongoing management, specialist input or a focused fix.

My strongest focus is eCommerce, but the same Google Ads, Meta Ads and SEO experience also applies to selected lead-generation and non-eCommerce accounts. See the broader Google Ads services, Meta Ads services and SEO services.

Where specialist judgement matters

How Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO & Conversion Tracking Work Together

The same product can appear in Google Shopping, a Meta catalogue, an organic result and a GA4 report. That is why I do not review these systems in isolation. A feed issue can affect ads, a tracking issue can mislead bidding, and a weak category page can limit both paid and organic performance.

01 · Business

Margin and customer value

A sale is not equally valuable across every product. Margin, returns and repeat orders change what the business can afford to pay for acquisition.

02 · Product

Price, stock and identifiers

Product attributes influence Shopping eligibility, catalogue ads, landing-page relevance and which items deserve more or less spend.

03 · Search

Intent and the right page

Search terms and organic queries should lead to the page that best matches what the customer is trying to buy or understand.

04 · Store

Offer and buying experience

A strong campaign still struggles when the product page has weak trust, unclear delivery information, poor availability or a confusing next step.

05 · Tracking

Purchase and conversion value

Google and Meta learn from the conversions they receive. Bad conversion data can make automated bidding look efficient while the business result gets worse.

06 · Decision

Scale, fix or stop

The point of reporting is to make a decision: which product deserves more budget, which page needs work and which activity should no longer be funded.

If ROAS falls, I do not assume bidding is the problem. I check what changed in the products being sold, their margin, the landing pages, conversion value, Merchant Center and actual demand. The same thinking applies when SEO traffic rises but orders do not.

When an expert review is useful

eCommerce Marketing Problems I Help Diagnose and Fix

“ROAS looks fine, but we are still not making enough money.”

What I would look at

Product mix, margin, discounts, shipping, returns and whether the revenue being sent back to Google represents what the business actually keeps.

“Leads are up, but the sales team says the quality is worse.”

What I would look at

Search terms, landing pages, form actions and which leads later become real sales opportunities. A cheap form submission is not automatically a good lead.

“SEO traffic is growing, but eCommerce revenue is not.”

What I would look at

Which pages are gaining visibility, whether those searches have buying intent, whether important products are being found and how easily visitors can move from information to purchase.

“Performance Max is spending, but we cannot tell what is driving sales.”

What I would look at

Product grouping, Merchant Center data, brand demand, conversion tracking and whether performance is being judged only at account level instead of by product and customer value.

About Vijay Bhabhor

I have worked in digital marketing for more than seventeen years and in paid search since 2009. Today, I work directly with eCommerce brands across Google Ads, SEO, Meta Ads and conversion measurement, combining strategic consulting with hands-on account work when the engagement requires it.

The way I work depends on what the business already has in place. Some clients want me to take responsibility for ongoing campaign management. Others have an in-house team that can execute but need experienced guidance on bidding, account structure, product feeds, SEO priorities or measurement. I also work on focused reviews when the main question is why performance has changed and what should be fixed before more changes are made.

Keeping consulting and execution close together matters to me. If I recommend changing a Performance Max structure, correcting conversion tracking or reorganising an eCommerce category, I want the recommendation to come from the same person who has looked at the account, the products and the business context behind the numbers.

I am based in Surat, Gujarat, and work with businesses in India and international markets. Clients work directly with me for strategy and communication, rather than passing decisions through a separate account-management layer.

Ongoing Marketing Management

For businesses that want me involved in the day-to-day decisions, I can manage an agreed channel directly and stay close to campaign performance, tracking and the commercial priorities behind it.

Consulting for In-House Teams

If your team already handles execution, I can work as a senior consultant on account structure, bidding, tracking, Merchant Center, SEO priorities or the decisions your team wants another experienced view on.

Expert Review & Problem Diagnosis

When the problem is not yet clear, I can review the account and the surrounding data before recommending a wider engagement. This is useful when ROAS, lead quality, tracking, product visibility or channel performance has changed and the cause is still uncertain.

Consulting and account management

How I Make eCommerce Marketing Decisions

Whether I am advising your team or managing the account myself, I want the same things clear first: what the business is trying to improve, whether the tracking can be trusted and where the biggest leak is.

If I am managing the account, I make the changes directly. If I am consulting, I explain what should change, why it matters and what I would measure afterwards.

  1. 01

    Understand what the business needs

    Which products matter, what a customer is worth, where growth is expected and what the business cannot afford to get wrong.

  2. 02

    Check whether the data can be trusted

    Purchases, leads, conversion values and analytics are checked before I use ROAS, CPA or conversion rate to judge performance.

  3. 03

    Find what is actually holding growth back

    That might be search intent, campaign structure, a product feed, the landing page, crawl/indexing issues or a weak conversion path.

  4. 04

    Make the change and judge the business result

    The work is measured against the thing we were trying to improve: better sales, better leads, lower waste or stronger organic visibility.

Questions about working together

Questions About Working With Me

Can you manage the work or do you only consult?
I do both. I can manage agreed channels hands-on, work alongside your existing team as a consultant, or review a specific problem when you need specialist input without changing the whole setup.
Do I work directly with Vijay Bhabhor?
Yes. I handle strategy and client communication directly. If I am managing the account, I stay involved in the account work rather than passing it to a separate delivery team.
Do you work only with eCommerce businesses?
eCommerce is my main focus, but I also work with lead-generation businesses, in-house teams and agencies where the Google Ads, SEO or measurement requirement fits my experience.
Can you work with our existing marketing team or agency?
Yes. I can provide strategic consulting, a paid audit, measurement support or a clearly defined channel scope while your team keeps day-to-day control.
Should we start with management, consulting or an audit?
Management fits when you want me to take responsibility for ongoing execution. Consulting fits when your team can do the work but needs senior direction. A paid audit fits when the first job is to understand what is wrong before anyone changes the account.
Do you guarantee rankings, ROAS or revenue?
No. Search rankings, auction costs and business results depend on factors no consultant controls completely. I can commit to clear priorities, transparent measurement and recommendations that can be explained.

Choosing the right starting point

Tell me what is already running, what has changed and what you want to improve. I can then tell you whether consulting, ongoing management or a paid audit makes the most sense.
