Expert-Led Campaign Engineering from the Ground Up
Steve Bell
Founder of Blastoff Ads
To engineer high-performing, profitable Google Ads campaigns through a deep, hands-on understanding of search engine marketing. His experience with search technology dates back to the pre-IPO days of Google, giving him a long-range perspective on how digital advertising has evolved—and where it’s heading.
In response to sweeping changes introduced by Google and Microsoft Ads in late 2022—such as reduced match-type control and increased automation—Steve has led efforts to re-engineer how campaigns are built and managed. His proprietary “Negative Keyword Difference Engine” restores targeting precision, helping campaigns retain efficiency in today’s broader, less predictable ad environment.
Whether resolving conversion rate issues, improving Quality Scores, or pushing campaign performance to the edge, Steve brings unmatched focus and strategic rigor to every project. For businesses navigating the complexities of modern paid search, Blastoff Ads delivers a high-touch, technically advanced, results-driven partnership.
