What is JSON?

Javascript Object Notation (JSON) is a text-based format for expressing structured data consisting of attribute-value pairs, arrays, or other serializable values.

Originally based on the Javascript programming language, JSON is language-independent but follows some of the same conventions as widely known languages like C, C++, Javascript, Java, Python, and others. Not only is JSON easy for humans to read and write, but code for parsing and generating JSON currently exists in many programming languages. These properties have made JSON the world’s most popular data exchange language over the past decade.

The JSON format was created by Douglas Crockford in the early 2000s, with the first JSON message sent over the Internet in April 2001. Since then, billions of messages have been written, generated, and transmitted in JSON format.

How Does JSON Work?

JSON is built on two main data structures: objects and arrays.

An array is simply an ordered list of values, while an object is a collection of attribute/value pairs.

Example 1: Simple Data in JSON

Here’s a simple example of how we can represent some data in JSON format. The following table gives information about three employees that work at ACME Company:

How fast can I expect results?

Most clients see performance stabilize by month three. Google Ads isn’t a slot machine—it takes time to compound.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. We work month-to-month. All we ask is that you give us three months to prove the results.

Do you only run Google Ads?

While Google Ads is our entry point, we also support LinkedIn Ads, Reddit, and X campaigns when needed.

What’s included in your CRO audit, and what’s expected from our side?

The CRO audit covers your landing pages, CTAs, forms, and overall user flow. We’ll flag what’s holding back conversions and recommend fixes. If changes require design or dev resources, we’ll hand over clear action steps for your team, so you know exactly what to adjust.

How do you work with internal teams?

We integrate directly. Whether it’s syncing with your PMM on messaging, your design team on creative assets, or RevOps on tracking, we plug into existing workflows so we’re aligned and moving fast.

How do you handle Google rep recommendations that don’t fit our goals?

As an ex-Googler, I know which recommendations are useful, and which are just there to hit Google’s internal targets. We’ll filter their advice for you, implementing only what actually helps us hit revenue goals.

What changes in your approach to ads in B2B vs. B2C?

For B2B, I focus on lead quality, longer sales cycles, and nurturing conversions across the funnel. For B2C, speed and volume matter more, so I optimize for quick wins and scalable growth. Either way, the playbook adapts to your model.

What do your weekly reports include, and how do you define “good” vs. “scalable”?

Weekly reports show spend, conversions, CPL/CPA, and how we’re tracking against projections. “Good” means campaigns are meeting efficiency targets. “Scalable” means we can push budget and expect the same or better efficiency without breaking ROI.
