Testimonials
“Xuanbin’s Google Ads course was truly transformative! Over the two days, he provided clear, actionable insights that demystified the complexities of Google Ads. His teaching style is engaging, with a perfect balance between theory and hands-on practice. Xuanbin’s real-world examples and tailored advice made the learning process easy to grasp and immediately applicable to my work. By the end of the 2 days course, I felt confident in creating effective campaigns and optimising them for better results. I highly recommend Xuanbin to anyone looking to master Google Ads.”
Benny Neo, Senior Manager, Regional Digital Marketing, InCorp GLobal Pte Ltd
“My Return-on-Ad-Spend (ROAS) has increased by 40% since I’ve implemented the learnings from Xuanbin’s class, steadily increasing from 508% to 702% within 4 months. Before coming to Xuanbin’s class, I knew very little about what I was doing and left it mostly to guesswork. Within the 2 days in class, I was able to identify the next steps I needed to take as he helped built a strong foundational understanding of how Google Ads works. I would highly recommend this course to Business Owners who are keen to improve their business results!”
Ben Foo, Founder, TheFirstFruits.com
“The insights I’ve gained are immensely helpful, and I’m already seeing better results and increased confidence in managing my Google Ads campaigns. Despite having basic Google Ads knowledge and having SEO experience prior, I had many unanswered questions. The trainer’s (Xuanbin) rich experience and industry insider best practices were invaluable as we explored all aspects of campaign creation and optimisation. I also received tailored advice for my campaign and account settings live over Zoom during one of their Post-Training Consultations!”
