Most small businesses struggle with the same ad problems

You're not alone. These are the exact problems I solve every day for business owners just like you.

💸

"I'm spending money on ads but nothing is happening."

You're paying Google or Meta every month but your phone isn't ringing any more than before. It feels like throwing money into a black hole.

→ I audit your current ads and fix exactly what's wasting your budget.
🤯

"I set up ads once but I have no idea if they're working."

The dashboards are confusing, the numbers don't make sense, and you're not sure what's a lead vs. a click vs. a bot. It's overwhelming.

→ I set up clear tracking so you always know exactly what your ads are delivering.
📉

"My competitors show up everywhere online and I don't."

You search for your own business and see your competitors' ads at the top of the page. They're getting customers that should be yours.

→ I put your business in front of customers who are actively searching for you.
⏰

"I don't have time to learn Google Ads on top of everything else."

You're running a business. You don't have hours to watch YouTube tutorials and guess your way through ad settings. There's too much at stake.

→ I handle everything so you can spend your time on your actual business.

How it works

Three simple steps to more customers

No confusing jargon. Month-to-month, no long-term lock-ins. Just a simple process that gets your business more leads.

1
Free · No obligation

We talk about your business

We start with a free 30-minute call. You tell me about your business, your goals, and what you've already tried. I'll take a look at your current ads (if you have any) and tell you honestly what's working and what isn't — no charge, no pitch.

2
Custom · Built for you

I build your ad strategy

I put together a clear plan tailored to your business, your budget, and your customers. You'll know exactly which platforms we're running on, what we're targeting, and what results to expect. No surprises, no hidden fees.

3
Ongoing · You stay in control

Leads start coming in

I launch and manage your campaigns while you focus on your business. You'll get regular, plain-English reports showing exactly how many leads your ads are generating and what it's costing you per customer. More leads, less stress.

Real results

What happens when ads actually work

Every business is different, but the goal is always the same: more customers for less money. Here's what that looks like in practice.

4x+
More leads · Same budget

Restructured Google Ads to 4x lead volume without increasing spend

A software company was getting a trickle of leads from Google Ads despite a healthy budget. After rebuilding the account structure, tightening targeting, and rewriting ad copy — lead volume jumped 400% within 60 days. Same budget, four times the results.

45%
Lower cost per customer · Meta Ads

Cut the cost of acquiring each customer nearly in half on Facebook & Instagram

A business spending $3M/month on Meta was paying way too much to acquire each customer. By rebuilding the remarketing funnel and fixing audience targeting, the cost per acquisition dropped 45% — meaning the same budget brought in almost twice as many customers.

3x
Return on ad spend · Google Shopping

Turned Google Shopping from a money loser into the best-performing channel

Google Shopping campaigns were spending money and barely breaking even. After restructuring the feed, improving bidding strategy, and tightening product targeting, return on ad spend jumped 75% and Shopping became the top revenue driver.

55%
Lower cost per lead · Full funnel rebuild

Slashed cost per lead by more than half while increasing total lead volume

A company was generating leads but paying far too much for each one. By auditing the full ad funnel — from targeting to landing page — cost per lead dropped 55% while overall lead volume grew 30%. More leads, much less cost.

About Derek

A paid ads expert who actually cares about your business

I'm Derek Davis, a Portland-area paid advertising specialist with 13 years of hands-on experience. I've spent my career inside some of the fastest-growing tech companies, building the ad systems that drove their growth.

Now I'm bringing that same expertise to small businesses — because frankly, you deserve the same level of strategy and execution that big companies pay a lot of money for.

I started Rose City Results because I kept seeing small business owners getting burned by agencies that took their money, sent confusing reports, and never really explained what was happening. That's not how I operate.

When you work with me, you get a straight-talking partner who's as invested in your growth as you are. Your wins are my wins.

Common Questions

Answers to what most business owners ask first

No jargon, no runaround. Just straight answers.

How much should I budget for ads on top of your fee?
Most small businesses see solid results starting with $1,000–$2,000/month in ad spend on Google, and $500–$1,500/month on Meta. That said, I'll help you figure out the right budget for your specific goals and market. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, and I'll never pressure you to spend more than makes sense.
How long before I start seeing results?
Google Ads can generate leads within the first week. Meta typically takes 2–4 weeks to find its audience. Most clients see meaningful results within the first 30–60 days. I'll set realistic expectations upfront and show you exactly what's happening every step of the way.
Do you work with businesses outside the Portland area?
Absolutely. While I'm based in the Portland metro and specialize in helping local businesses here, I work with small and medium businesses nationwide. If you're outside Portland, we just do everything remotely — which works great.
What's included in the free audit call?
We spend 30 minutes looking at your current ads (if you have any), your goals, and your market. I'll tell you honestly what's working, what's wasting money, and what I'd do differently. No pitch, no pressure. You'll leave with real insights you can act on — whether you hire me or not.
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No. Everything is month-to-month. I don't believe in holding clients hostage with long contracts. You stay because the results are there — not because you're locked in. I've found that clients who have the freedom to leave stay longer because they actually want to.
What if I've never run ads before?
That's totally fine — and honestly, sometimes it's easier to start fresh than to fix bad habits. I'll build your accounts from the ground up, explain everything in plain English, and make sure you understand what's happening at every stage. No experience needed on your end.
