When You Need a Second Opinion

Maybe you’ve got an agency, but the account feels sluggish. Or you hired someone in-house and they’re solid but unsure on strategy. Or you’ve got ads running but you can’t tell if they’re actually any good. That’s where I come in.

I’m a fractional PPC consultant—I audit accounts, spot the gaps, and advise on strategy without taking over day-to-day. I’ve worked across ecommerce and home services, mostly remote across the UK, and I’ve managed £3M+ in ad spend directly. I know what works and what’s theatre.

What I Do

I tell you what’s working and what’s not. If your current setup is solid, I’ll say so. If there’s waste or risk, I’ll flag it. Then I advise on fix priority and how to get there.

Typical Gaps I Find

Fractional Engagement Models

I work a few ways: you can hire me for a one-off diagnostic (quote on a call), a monthly advisory retainer to review and guide, or ad-hoc support as you need it. From £300/month upwards depending on scope. The idea is you keep control, but you’ve got a senior person pressure-testing decisions and spotting drift.

A Typical Engagement

  1. Initial audit callYou walk me through your current setup, goals, pain points.
  2. Deep account reviewI log in, check structure, targeting, tracking, creatives, spend patterns.
  3. Priority findings & proposalI present what’s working, what’s broken, what to fix first, and how.
  4. Ongoing supportMonthly check-ins, strategic input on new campaigns or scaling decisions.

Why Fractional Makes Sense for Cumbria

Smaller market areas like Cleator Moor and Cumbria often don’t justify a full in-house ads person. But you still need expertise at the table. Fractional lets you get senior input without the salary. I’m remote, I charge based on scope, and I’m accountable for honest advice, not upselling.

Frequently asked questions

Can you audit an account my current agency runs?

Yes, though I’ll be blunt about what I find. If their work is solid, I’ll say so. If there are gaps or risks, I’ll lay them out. No politics, just facts.

What if my team disagrees with your recommendations?

Then we talk it through. I’ll explain my reasoning and the trade-offs. But ultimately, it’s your business and your call.

Do you work with small teams in Cleator Moor?

Absolutely. I specialise in ecommerce and home services—both common in Cumbria. Scale doesn’t matter; strategy does.

How much does a PPC consultation cost?

Depends on scope. A one-off audit might be one price; an ongoing retainer another. Book a call and I’ll quote based on what you need.

Can I still use my current agency while working with you?

Yes. I’m a second opinion, not a replacement. You keep your relationship; I advise on strategy and spot issues.

What's the time commitment?

Varies. One audit might be 2–3 hours over a week. A monthly retainer is usually 2–4 hours per month. We’ll agree upfront.
