Turn Google Ads into qualified customers. Not just conversions.

I'm Ankit Shrivastava, Founder of adshotmedia. I started my digital marketing journey full-time in 2015, back when most of us still called it Internet Marketing.

The decision to make this my career started during my final year of Engineering. Instead of following the usual engineering career path, I started experimenting online and made my first money through ClickBank affiliate marketing. That changed things for me.

Once I understood that traffic could turn into actual revenue, I wanted to understand every major source of traffic I could get my hands on. So I learned and experimented with Blogging, YouTube, Email Marketing, Solo Ads, Bing Ads and, of course, Google AdWords — what we now know as Google Ads.

Over time, Google Ads became the channel I kept coming back to. There was something very direct about it: someone searches for something they need, an advertiser appears at the right moment, and when the campaign is built properly, that click can turn into an actual customer.

That eventually became the foundation of adshotmedia, which I started in 2016. What began with me learning how to generate traffic for my own affiliate campaigns slowly turned into managing advertising for real businesses, real budgets and real growth targets.

Over the years, we have worked across industries including travel, home services, solar, insurance, e-commerce and other service businesses. And our focus became increasingly clear: we didn't want to become another full-service digital marketing agency. We wanted to become exceptionally good at one thing — Google Ads.

In 2025, another important milestone came when adshotmedia became adshotmedia LLC, establishing our agency in the United States.

Today, more than 10 years after I first started experimenting with online traffic, I still approach Google Ads with much of the same curiosity I had in 2015. The platforms have changed. AdWords became Google Ads. Manual campaigns became increasingly automated. AI is changing advertising again.

But the basic idea hasn't changed much: spend money intelligently, understand what the customer is actually looking for, measure what happens after the click, and make advertising work for the business. That is still what we try to do at adshotmedia.
