Why Yate businesses choose freelance over big agencies

Most Yate and Gwent business owners end up with an agency account manager juggling 50+ clients, handing your work to a junior, and generic recommendations that don’t fit your niche. I work differently: 12 years in Google Ads, hands-on only, and I take maybe 10 active clients at a time. You get me — not a rotation. My sister agency, Growth PPC, manages £20M+ in ad spend and hits 20.8x peak ROAS on good accounts; I apply the same playbook to your freelance work, scaled to your budget.

What ongoing management actually covers

Transparent pricing. No markup on ad spend.

From £300/month (covers up to £3,000/month ad spend). Above that, 10% of ad spend. You pay Google directly for clicks. I charge for strategy and optimisation only. No hidden fees, no lock-in.

Right for ecommerce and home services

I specialise in ecommerce (D2C, Shopify, WooCommerce) and local trades (plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers around Yate, Bradley Stoke, Chipping Sodbury). If you’re selling products or booking jobs in Gwent or across the UK, I know exactly what works: Google Shopping campaigns, lead forms, location-based targeting, conversion tracking that actually fires.

How the first 3 months works

  1. Week 1: Audit & strategyI review your current setup (or start from zero), understand your business, define success metrics.
  2. Week 2–4: Campaign buildI set up your account properly: landing pages, keyword lists, ad groups, conversion tracking, audience lists.
  3. Ongoing: Optimise & reportI monitor daily, pause waste, test new angles, and give you clear monthly numbers on what’s working.

Frequently asked questions

How long before we see results?

Google Ads can drive traffic immediately. Real results — profitable conversions at a reasonable cost — depend on your offer, landing pages, and conversion tracking. I’ll give you honest visibility on performance from week one; expect true optimisation to show in 6–8 weeks of data.

Can you manage my existing account if another consultant set it up?

Yes. I often inherit accounts that are badly structured or under-optimised. I’ll audit the current setup, rebuild what needs fixing, and take over optimisation from there.

Do you work with businesses in Yate, Gwent, or anywhere?

Remote only — I’m UK-based but work with clients anywhere. If you ship nationwide or run a local trade in Gwent (Yate, Chipping Sodbury, Bradley Stoke, Thornbury), I can target the right geography in your campaigns.

What if my ads aren't profitable?

I’ll tell you honestly. Sometimes the issue is ads (message, targeting, landing page). Sometimes it’s the offer itself — margins, conversion rate, customer acquisition cost. I’ll diagnose which, and I’ll fix it or move on. No point pretending ads can fix a broken business model.

Can I see examples of accounts you've managed?

I share case studies with confidentiality kept intact — your data stays private. Let’s talk about your niche (ecommerce or trades?) and I’ll show you similar work I’ve done.

What about Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn, TikTok?

I’m Google Ads and Microsoft Ads certified. For most UK ecommerce and service businesses, those two platforms do the heavy lifting. I’ll recommend others only if they fit your budget and audience.
