ATS Resume Optimization for Paid Media / PPC Specialists
Paid Media / PPC Specialists run paid-search and paid-social campaigns across agency clients — Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, ROAS/CPA optimization, and A/B testing. Job-board figures for this title show the widest disagreement in this vertical (Salary.com $76,279, Glassdoor $70,701, ZipRecruiter $47,241 — roughly a 60% spread, flagged rather than trusted at face value), and agency PPC work carries a distinct billing structure ($100-$175/hour or $1,500-$5,000/month retainers) with no equivalent on an in-house title. Google Ads and Meta Blueprint certifications are the most-cited entry credentials. We rewrite your resume and LinkedIn profile so the ATS reads your paid-media work the way an agency recruiter would.
