When you need a second opinion on ads

You’ve got ads running. Someone’s managing them—maybe in-house, maybe an agency. But you’re not sure if they’re actually any good. Or you’re flying blind on strategy: should you be testing PMAX? Shifting budget? Cutting keywords? That’s where a fractional PPC consultant comes in. I work alongside your existing setup, no replacement needed.

What fractional PPC consulting covers

How it works

  1. Initial deep diveYou grant me view-only access to your Google Ads account and Google Analytics. I spend time actually understanding what’s running and what the data says.
  2. Strategy sessionWe sit down (video call, usually 90 minutes) and I walk you through the findings, opportunities, and priorities. No fluff—tactical advice you can act on immediately.
  3. Recommendations documentYou get a clear list of what to test, change, or monitor. Ranked by effort and impact. No jargon.
  4. Follow-up coachingMonthly or quarterly check-ins to review results, adjust strategy, and answer questions as your ads evolve.

Especially useful if…

You’ve recently switched agencies and want to understand if the new setup is solid. Your current manager is junior or stretched thin. You’re scaling your budget and need validation before committing. You run ecommerce or home services and want someone who actually knows those channels. You’re based in or serving Kington and the surrounding region (Ludlow, Leominster, Bishop’s Castle, Montgomery area) and want local expertise applied to your account.

The honest pitch

I’m not here to scare you into hiring me for daily management if your current setup is working. Sometimes it is. But if there are holes in your strategy or tracking, I’ll tell you straight and show you how to fix them.

Frequently asked questions

What does fractional consulting actually cost?

I quote based on scope. Most initial strategy reviews run from £300/month upwards if it’s ongoing advisory. For a one-off deep dive and recommendations, we’d chat about the scope on a call—no fixed menu.

Do you keep the account when you're done?

No. Everything stays with your current setup. I’m an advisor, not a manager. You (or your team) own implementation.

What if you find major problems?

I tell you exactly what’s broken and what fixing it involves. Then you decide: fix it yourself, ask your current manager to do it, or hire me to do it. No surprises.

How long does the strategy review take?

Initial assessment is usually 2–3 hours of my time, spread over a few days. The session with you is typically 90 minutes. You get a recommendations document afterwards.

We're in Kington and pretty small—is your advice still relevant?

Absolutely. I’ve worked with businesses from £500/month to £200k/month budgets. The fundamentals of good Google Ads are the same: right people, right message, right bid, right tracking. Those principles apply to Kington, Ludlow, or anywhere else.

Can you help us decide between campaign types (Search vs PMAX vs Performance Max)?

Yes. That’s a core strategic call—it depends on your goal, your data quality, and your margin. I’d walk through the trade-offs and recommend what suits your business.
