You don't need an agency, but you need someone who thinks like one

Most Seaham business owners either manage their own ads (and it becomes a distraction) or hire a bloated agency and watch 60% of the fee go to account managers and junior optimisation. I do both — strategy and execution — in-house. I’ve managed £2M+ in direct ad spend across ecommerce, D2C, and home services. You get 12 years of Google Ads experience and a disciplined approach. No rebranded template campaigns. No vanity metrics. No surprises on the invoice.

What's included

Pricing is honest

From £300/month for accounts up to £3,000/month ad spend. Above that, it’s 10% of your ad spend (so £4,500 monthly spend = £450 management fee). Ad spend paid directly to Google; I don’t markup. No contract, no notice period, no surprise fees.

Why Seaham business owners choose this

You want your ads to work, not to become your job. Most Seaham and County Durham businesses don’t have the internal bandwidth to run Google Ads properly — they’re running operations, not digital marketing. I do this across the whole UK. You get the benefit of patterns I see across hundreds of campaigns without the overhead of an agency structure.

How it works

  1. Week 1: Strategy call & auditWe discuss your goals, budget, and current performance (if you have ads running). I review your account structure and identify quick wins.
  2. Week 2-4: Setup or optimisationCampaign structure, keyword strategy, ad creative, landing page alignment. If you’re new to Google Ads, I build the whole foundation. If you’re running ads now, I optimise the account.
  3. Ongoing: Monthly management & reportingBid adjustments, A/B testing, performance analysis, and a transparent monthly summary. You always know what changed and why.

Proof that senior-led matters

My sister agency, Growth PPC, manages £20M+ in annual ad spend using the same zero-junior model (senior strategists doing the work, not delegating to apprentices). Peak ROAS: 20.8x. That’s what disciplined account management looks like. I bring that same rigour to freelance clients in Seaham, Sunderland, Peterlee, and across the UK.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take on ecommerce or do you specialise in services?

Both. I’ve worked across ecommerce (retail, D2C, drop-ship), home services (trades, consultants), and B2B. Every niche has different dynamics — I adjust strategy accordingly. Tell me what you sell.

What if I already have ads running but they're not working?

That’s actually the easiest sale for me — I’ll audit your account first. Often it’s structural (bad keyword grouping, weak landing pages, bid strategy set to vanity instead of conversions). I’ll give you an honest assessment of whether I can fix it or whether your business model simply doesn’t support Google Ads profitably.

How long until I see results?

Depends on your business model and competition. Seasonal businesses show patterns month-to-month. Mature markets take 2–3 months to dial in. I don’t promise instant results because that’s not honest. What I promise is transparent reporting so you can see what’s working.

Do you work with Seaham businesses specifically?

I work with clients across the UK, including Seaham, County Durham, and nearby areas like Sunderland, Peterlee, and Chester-le-Street. Most of my work is remote; I manage accounts for businesses I’ve never met in person. Location doesn’t matter for Google Ads.

What's the difference between you and an agency?

An agency hires junior staff to do the work and charges you a markup. I do the work myself. No middle layer. That means lower fees and a more experienced strategist touching your account every day. You’re paying for my 12 years, not their onboarding.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contract, no notice period. If it’s not working after 60 days, we stop. That said, Google Ads needs time to stabilise — I ask clients to give me at least 30 days before deciding.
