If running Google Ads feels like surgery, that’s because it kind of is.
“You're putting in dollars for somebody, and they're expecting to get money out. That is a big responsibility. It's almost like being a doctor.”
In this episode of Pursue Vegas, we pull back the curtain with Sergio Chavez—the guy behind ilovegoogleads.com, founder of the Vegas Voices Podcast, and a digital marketing strategist who’s been in the game since 2008 (back when no one knew what a conversion rate was).
Sergio’s not just talking pixels and pay-per-clicks. He’s talking about how to actually show up—in business, in service, and in a city where connections matter more than clout.
“Just be willing to show up and serve… This town has been very welcoming to me.”
We talk about how real success isn’t built on viral moments—it’s built in the hours no one sees. Behind every 15-second reel is 15 hours of work. Behind every campaign is the responsibility of delivering actual results. That’s the part most people skip, but not Sergio.
And Vegas? It’s his playground. “It's your simulation. It's your GTA 5.”
From real estate hustle to reputation-building online, Sergio shares what it takes to thrive in this city—without selling your soul to the algorithm. He’s one of those people actually doing the work… not just talking about it. And through his podcast, he’s amplifying the voices that are shaping Vegas behind the scenes—not just the influencers in front of the camera.
We go deep on performance marketing, personal growth, and how digital advertising isn’t just about clicks—it’s about clarity, commitment, and service.
"If you give light to others, the light's going to shine on you."
Key Takeaways:
- Running ads is high-stakes—Sergio treats it like surgery.
- Las Vegas is an entrepreneurial simulation. The opportunities? Endless.
- People see the 15-second reel, not the 15 hours of work behind it.
- Real growth happens when you integrate personal development with professional performance.
- The Vegas Voices Podcast is amplifying the stories shaping our city.

Whether you're a business owner trying to scale or a creative looking for traction—this episode reminds you that clarity, commitment, and service still win in the long game.
