Freelance Google Ads Specialist in Kenya

Freelance Google Ads specialist for Kenya: Google Ads campaigns built for leads and sales. Planned for Kenya's Data Protection Act and local payments.

Overview

Google Ads and PPC management — search, Performance Max and shopping campaigns with proper conversion tracking, negative keywords and landing-page testing. Projects for Kenya run remotely, with about 7.5 hours of overlap with a 9-to-6 working day. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Kenya-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Kenya have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

  • Interface and content languages: English and Swahili.
  • Google is the main search engine in Kenya; plan content in English and Swahili and consider a .ke domain where it helps.
  • Channels that matter most in Kenya: WhatsApp, Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok and Instagram.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.
