When it comes to your clients, you’re comfortable talking with them about all aspects of paid search, both the nitty gritty and the overarching strategy of how Paid Search interacts with the other channels and works in the conversion funnel. You lead by example and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and do a keyword review when needed.
