"Set it and forget it"
is how budgets quietly burn.

A freelancer launches the account and disappears. No one cleans search terms, no goals in Metrica, no monthly report. You pay every month and have no idea what works.

Set It and Forget It

Most freelancers build the account once and vanish. We run a weekly rhythm: search-term report into keys/negatives, RSYA placement cleanup, bounce monitoring, bid corrections by device/age/time. The account is worked on, not parked.

16

Budget Burning on Junk Traffic

No negative keywords, no RSYA placement filtering — clicks from people who will never buy. We tighten the funnel: 80–150 negatives per campaign, weekly placement exclusions, search-term hygiene.

Ads Aimed at Nobody

Generic ads written without knowing who the buyer is. We start from audience research: 2–3 ICP personas with pains, triggers and objections, then write ads and pick keys for them.

No Goals, No Visibility

Metrica goals broken or never set, so "conversions" are a guess. We wire up goals, link the CRM where possible, and reconcile numbers — so every ruble is traceable to a lead.

"Everything's Fine" Reports

A one-line "all good" with no numbers. We send a monthly report in research format: what was done, clicks/CPC/CPL/conversions vs last month, top ads and keys, and 3 recommendations for next month.

Our approach

Audience first.
Then the clicks.

A marketing analyst's take on Yandex Direct: research who buys, build the account around it, then keep it tuned every week — with a report you can actually read.

01 — Audience

ICP Before Keywords

We start with who buys: 2–3 ICP personas with pains, triggers and objections (a bonus on a 3-month plan). Keywords, ad copy and landing offers are built for those people — not pasted from a template.

02 — Management

A Weekly Rhythm

The opposite of "set it and forget it": weekly search-term work and placement cleanup, monthly A/B tests and bid corrections, quarterly competitor review and media-plan refresh. The account is always being worked.

03 — Reporting

Reports You Can Read

Not a one-line "all good" and not a raw Excel dump. A monthly report in research format: what was done, clicks/CPC/CPL/conversions vs last month, top ads and keys, and 3 recommendations for the next period.

The flow

From Free Audit to Steady Management.
3 Steps.

01

Free Audit or Niche Forecast

You fill a short brief. Within 1–2 days I send a 16-point audit of your account (score /10 + top-5 growth points) — or, if you have no account yet, a niche forecast: CPC/CPL benchmarks and a lead forecast. Zero obligations.

1–2 days · free
02

Setup + ICP Research

On a 3-month plan you get 2–3 ICP personas as a bonus. Then the build: 50–500 keys, 80–150 negatives, Search/RSYA structure, ad copy, Metrica goals + CRM link. Aligned with you before launch.

4–7 days setup
03

Management + Monthly Report

Weekly search-term and placement work, monthly A/B tests and bid corrections, quarterly competitor review. At month-end — a report in research format. Monthly billing, prepaid at the start of each month.

Yandex Direct setups and marketing studies across B2B, construction, local services and e-commerce. Each starts from audience research, not a keyword template.

B2B · wholesale / services / gifts

B2B with a Long Sales Cycle

My own active B2B project runs on Yandex Direct: seasonal campaign structure, 16-point audit, negative-keyword system, Metrica + CRM. High average check, long cycle — the setup is built for qualified leads, not raw clicks.

16 audit pointsSearch + RSYACRM linked
Construction · renovation · B2C

Renovation / Construction

Methodology built for a regional renovation company entering B2C: competitor analysis in Direct, price map by segment, audience segmentation, ready campaign structure. A high-competition niche where negatives and landing relevance decide the CPL.

12 competitors5 segments
Local services · dental / salon / tutoring

Local Services

Media plans and rebuilds for a dental clinic, a tutoring network and a beauty salon: competitor audit, advertising-maturity matrix, audience segments, ready ad copy. Local intent + geo + schedule corrections do the heavy lifting.

3 nichesgeo + schedule
E-com · marketplaces + D2C

E-commerce & Marketplaces

8 years of e-com PPC on the international market — marketplace algorithms and D2C funnels. I bring that approach to Ya.Market / Ozon / WB and run Yandex Direct on your own site in parallel, reconciled by SKU.

ACCOUNT AUDIT · 16 POINTS

Your account scores 3.8 / 10 — and it's leaking budget on three fixable things.

Goals in Metrica aren't firing, so "conversions" are a guess. RSYA placements were never cleaned. Negative-keyword list is 18 phrases where the niche needs 80–150. We score all 16 parameters, then hand you the top-5 fixes ranked by impact.
