Advisory for the strategist who needs backup

You’ve got someone running your Google Ads — in-house, an agency, a junior. They’re doing okay, but you’re not sure if they’re missing opportunities or chasing the wrong leads. Or you’re the owner trying to oversee strategy but lacking deep PPC knowledge. That’s where I come in: as a senior advisor, not a replacement.

What fractional PPC consulting covers

I'll tell you if you don't need me

Honest: if your current PPC person is sharp and your campaigns are well-structured, you might not need consulting. I say that up front because it’s true. Most businesses, though, find gaps in tracking, keyword targeting, or bid strategy — and those compound.

Why a second opinion matters

Google Ads complexity grows every quarter. New match types, audience signals, automation options — and every account has unique trade-offs. A single pair of eyes (even a good one) can miss opportunities or inherit bad decisions from previous setups. A second perspective from someone who’s managed £2M+ in spend and seen hundreds of accounts catches things. That’s what you pay for: experience and fresh eyes.

How fractional consulting works

  1. Initial reviewYou share your current account access (or we discuss under NDA). I audit the setup and send a summary.
  2. Scope a planWe agree on the frequency and focus: monthly strategy calls? Quarterly audits? Ad hoc reviews? You set the pace.
  3. Ongoing partnershipI’m available for calls, questions, and strategic input. You keep your current operator but now you’ve got a senior voice in the room.

Frequently asked questions

Is this for businesses in Mossley and Greater Manchester only?

No, I’m UK-wide and remote. But I have particular experience with Mossley, Stalybridge, Ashton-under-Lyne, Oldham and the wider Greater Manchester area. Remote means you get access to the same thinking regardless of where you are.

How much time do you actually spend on consulting?

It depends on the arrangement. Monthly fractional might be 4–8 hours per month (calls, audits, email). Quarterly might be 2–3 hours. We’ll agree the expectation upfront.

Can I use you as a second opinion without an ongoing contract?

Yes. One-off strategy calls and audits are available. I’ll quote those on a call — it’s typically a fixed fee for a defined scope.

What if my current PPC person disagrees with your advice?

That’s healthy. I’m here to challenge thinking and present alternatives, not override decisions. If there’s genuine disagreement, we discuss it openly and you decide. My job is to make sure you’ve heard multiple perspectives before committing budget.

Do you specialise in particular industries?

My deep expertise is ecommerce (D2C) and home services/trades. If you’re in one of those, you benefit from my niches. If not, I’ll be clear about whether I’m the best fit on the first call.

How do you charge for consulting?

Ongoing fractional work starts from £300/month depending on scope. One-off audits and strategy sessions are quoted individually after we discuss your needs. No hidden fees; we’ll be transparent on the call.
