    Each option in detail<\/h2>\n

    1. Igor Ivitskiy, Doctor Ads<\/a>: best for a one-week audit of a store’s account<\/h3>\n

    In a PPC Hero column<\/a>, Igor Ivitskiy walks through his audit of a store spending about $60,000 a month on Google Ads. Of $56,000 spent in the 30 days he reviewed, roughly half went to campaigns tuned to the wrong signal. That documented store audit is why proof and fit score full here.<\/p>\n

    The offer is Profit Forensics<\/a>: one week, a fixed \u00a35,000, by application, a few engagements a month. It is an audit, not monthly management, so the hire score is partial; a store that wants its account run every month should start with Kirk Williams. PPC Hero<\/a> records his #6 place in The PPC Survey Top 50 for 2026 and the Best PPC Case in Europe award at AdWorld Experience 2024.<\/p>\n

    Ask him:<\/strong> how the audit separates sales from softer conversions in a store’s account, and what you receive if the account turns out clean.<\/p>\n

    2. Kirk Williams, ZATO<\/a>: best for ecommerce management with a free consultation<\/h3>\n

    Kirk Williams founded ZATO in 2011<\/a>, which calls itself Ecommerce Experts on its homepage<\/a>. Fees start at $750 a month<\/a> for Google Ads management aimed at ecommerce, and the homepage<\/a> offers a free consultation.<\/p>\n

    The homepage places him at #4 among the most influential PPC experts of 2026, attributed to ppcsurvey.com. The evidence we could open has no case study with figures, so proof scores zero, and the ecommerce fit rests on the firm’s own description.<\/p>\n

    Ask him:<\/strong> what the $750 a month covers for an ecommerce store, and what the free consultation includes.<\/p>\n

    3. Dan Kabakov, Online Labs<\/a>: best for ecommerce on a modest budget<\/h3>\n

    Dan Kabakov runs Online Labs<\/a> from Tbilisi, Georgia, and describes himself as a Google Ads specialist for ecommerce. The firm works with ecommerce brands worldwide<\/a>, and the full audit is $800 one time.<\/p>\n

    On his audit page<\/a> he says he personally reviews every audit request and returns a written list of what to fix first and what can wait. The evidence describes his audit process but contains no quantified ecommerce result, so proof stays partial, and the homepage<\/a> publishes the price.<\/p>\n

    Ask him:<\/strong> whether the audit includes Merchant Center and GA4, and how the findings are prioritised.<\/p>\n

    4. Menachem Ani, JXT Group<\/a>: best for Google Shopping campaigns<\/h3>\n

    Menachem Ani is the founder of JXT Group<\/a>, a US-based agency in Ocean, NJ. His about page names talks at SMX and BrightonSEO, which is the only recognition we found for him.<\/p>\n

    The shopping page<\/a> says the firm optimises campaigns to drive sales and boost performance, but it gives no result figure. It does not name ecommerce brands as clients, so the ecommerce fit scores as partial. A Shopping engagement depends on the product feed, so ask how the feed is checked before any campaign change.<\/p>\n

    Ask him:<\/strong> which client types the Google Shopping work serves, and what a campaign review includes.<\/p>\n

    5. Duane Brown, Take Some Risk<\/a>: best for ecommerce management, audits or consulting<\/h3>\n

    Take Some Risk<\/a>, Duane Brown’s firm, says it helps ecommerce, DTC and retail brands. Its navigation lists PPC management, account audits and consulting, so one firm can cover three kinds of work.<\/p>\n

    The homepage<\/a> places team members in Vancouver and Toronto. A testimonial on the site names Duane and gives no performance figure, so proof is partial. No public fee is listed in the evidence we could open, so the audit and consulting prices are a question for the first call.<\/p>\n

    Ask him:<\/strong> what an account audit includes, and how the consulting is priced.<\/p>\n

    6. Gil Gildner, Discosloth<\/a>: best for a boutique team for ecommerce and tech<\/h3>\n

    Discosloth<\/a>, Gil Gildner’s firm, calls itself a boutique PPC consultancy for ecommerce and tech companies. The page describes a boutique PPC consultancy. Its description is short, so the scope of the work is a question for a first call.<\/p>\n

    The page<\/a> says the firm has managed over $135 million in Google Ads spend. That is a claim with no outcome figure attached, so proof is partial, and no public fee is listed. Ask for a case with results before you judge the spend claim.<\/p>\n

    Ask him:<\/strong> what the $135 million covers, and which results the team reports for ecommerce accounts.<\/p>\n

    7. Andrew Lolk, savvyrevenue<\/a>: best for ecommerce paid ads<\/h3>\n

    Andrew Lolk is the founder of savvyrevenue<\/a>. The page title<\/a> says paid ads for ecommerce, judged on your KPIs, and the form<\/a> asks visitors to talk to Andrew.<\/p>\n

    Pricing is a proposal, and the page does not publish a number<\/a>. The evidence we could open has no case figure or third-party ranking, so proof stays at zero, while openness scores partial. The proposal model means the first step is a conversation, so bring your ad spend, KPIs and margin to it.<\/p>\n

    Ask him:<\/strong> which KPIs the proposal is judged on, and what a proposal costs for an account of your size.<\/p>\n

    Which one fits<\/h2>\n

    Store that wants to know which campaigns drive sales.<\/strong> Igor Ivitskiy sells a one-week audit for a fixed \u00a35,000. In the store audit his PPC Hero column<\/a> documents, roughly half of $56,000 went to campaigns tuned to the wrong signal. It is an audit, not monthly management.<\/p>\n

    Ecommerce brand that wants ongoing management.<\/strong> Kirk Williams offers management from $750 a month and a free consultation. Duane Brown’s Take Some Risk lists PPC management, and Gil Gildner’s Discosloth offers a boutique PPC consultancy.<\/p>\n

    Store that wants a paid audit on a modest budget.<\/strong> Dan Kabakov lists a full audit for $800; separately, his audit article describes a written list of what to fix first.<\/p>\n

    How we ranked<\/h2>\n

    We score every option from public evidence you can open and check. Each criterion gets 0, 1 or 2 evidence units: none, partial or full. Weights are fixed for this type of page before any scoring: peer recognition 25, proof of this job 35, fit for this buyer 15, how you can hire them 15, openness 10 points out of 100. Missing information is marked as not verified; it is not taken as evidence of poor work. The order on this page is the order of the totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
