AboutDerek Vaal · Louisville, Kentucky

Independent PPC consulting. Your account gets my full attention.

I’m Derek, an independent PPC consultant for lead generation and ecommerce. I manage Google Ads and Microsoft Ads, learn the details of your business, and explain the results. When you have a question, you come straight to me.

My story

Hi there! I’m Derek.

I’m a PPC expert currently located in the Louisville, Kentucky area who’s been in the field ever since college (go Hoosiers!). I have many years of experience working at agencies and startups, so I understand what my clients are really looking for when they hire someone to manage their Paid Search ads.

That’s why I built out Dashboard: to show you what I’m working on, why I’m doing it, and how it will help your business.

I can’t wait to meet you and learn more about your brand and how I might be able to help you.

Off the clock.

I’m working on breaking 100 on my golf game. I’m a big nerd who loves games and reading fantasy/sci-fi books. I’m also big into fitness and health!

How I work

You can ask me why.

  • I start with your goals, customer value, conversion tracking, and account history.
  • I separate symptoms from causes before recommending a rebuild or new channel.
  • I make changes in stages, so each one can prove itself.
  • I explain what changed, what I learned, and what I would do next.
Working together

What a typical month looks like.
