Pedro Nunes / Performance Marketing

I turn ad budgets into qualified leads and sales.

Meta, Google and LinkedIn Ads for 200+ businesses over 5 years. I measure success in cash in the bank, not in clicks or platform dashboards.

Sound familiar?

The two problems I am hired to fix

++++ A business owner doing the math, unsure the ads are paying off

"The dashboard says the ads are working. My bank account isn't so sure."

I look at margin and profit, not just return on ad spend, and check every number against real sales, costs and cash, so you know what is actually paying off.

++++ An overwhelmed business owner holding his head

"We get leads, but they don't turn into sales."

I follow the lead after the click, from qualification to response time, until it closes.

That gap between clicks and cash is where I work.

What you get when you hire me

Three things. All tied to revenue.

1

Campaigns built around sales

Clear structure, audience and creative tests on Meta, Google (Search, Display, YouTube, Performance Max) and LinkedIn Ads, with budget pacing and rules for what to cut and what to scale.

2

Tracking you can trust

GA4, Google Tag Manager, UTMs and pixels set up and checked against your CRM and real sales data, so the numbers match what you see in your bank account.

3

AI that speeds up the work

I use AI (Claude, ChatGPT) and automation (Make, Zapier, n8n) to build reports, dashboards and metric analysis faster, so more of my time goes to decisions. You get real-time updates in plain numbers.

What this looks like in practice

Real accounts, with honest context next to every number.

Energysun, GE Solar, Green Solar and KS Energia

Four solar companies, mostly on Meta Ads. Lead generation for solar installers, where every sale is a high-ticket project. Each account turned between 6x and 23x its ad spend into sales, tracked in the client's CRM.

About US$490K in sales from about US$54K in ads. Approximate figures from each client's CRM at the time; these clients are no longer active.

1.3xwhat Ads Manager reported

Store revenue grew from R$16.9K to R$26.8K a month after launching Meta Ads for Hida's own delivery menu. Measured on cash, the return was about 2.7x, versus 1.3x shown in Ads Manager. That gap is where I make decisions.

Before-and-after estimate. The marketplace channel also grew 33% in the same period.

Reinel · events · Google Ads

Qualified-lead rate after I fixed conversion tracking, split campaigns by service and reconciled leads with the sales sheets. The biggest leak was after the lead, in response time, so we fixed that too.

About R$68K in media brought 1,227 leads and R$150K in attributed sales.

Businesses served

50+ at V4 Company, one of Brazil's largest performance agencies, and 150+ directly with clients, from e-commerce to law firms.

Two years of sales experience (SDR, BDR and closer) behind it: I optimize for revenue, not for leads that never close.
How I make decisions

Simple rules, applied every day

No guesswork and no attachment to a campaign. Numbers decide.

2x

Judge fairly

I judge an ad only after it has spent at least twice the product price.

+30%

Cut fast

When CPA runs 30% above target, I pause it and reallocate the budget.

~20%

Scale with care

When return holds above target, I raise the budget about 20% a day and watch CPA.

++++ Try it

Should this ad keep running?

Move the sliders. This is the call I make on every account, every day.

Too early to judge

It has spent less than 2x the product price. I let it gather data before touching it.

++++

I look past the click. Tap each stage to see what I check.

The ad

Audience and creative tests on Meta, Google and LinkedIn. No ad is judged before it spends 2x the product price.

Industries

Businesses I have worked with

Mostly small and mid-size, owner-led businesses, in both B2B and B2C.

Speaking and training

I can explain the numbers, not just run them

Clients, managers and sales teams act faster when the plan is clear. I present results in plain language and train the people who handle the leads.

Talks for business owners and teams

I present to groups in person, with slides and real examples from campaigns I have run.

Sales team training

I have trained client sales teams on lead follow-up, because the biggest leak is often after the lead, not in the ads.

Live dashboards in plain numbers: what changed and what I will do next, so you never have to decode a dashboard.
