You don't always need a full-time agency.

Maybe you’ve got someone running your Google Ads already—an in-house marketer, a junior agency, or a freelancer. You trust them, but you’re not sure if they’re optimising smartly. Or you’ve got money to spend but no strategy. That’s where strategic advisory comes in.

I work as a fractional partner: a senior head reviewing your approach, finding the gaps, and guiding strategy. Whether that’s a monthly strategy session, quarterly planning, or a quick diagnostic, you get senior thinking without the overhead of a full agency.

When to bring in a PPC consultant

Strategic advisory is often cheaper than hiring a full agency

You’ll get a senior partner reviewing your spend quarterly for less than a junior at an agency running it daily. If your in-house team or freelancer is solid, the right consultant amplifies them instead of replacing them.

How I approach advisory

First call: we map your current setup, your goals, and the gaps. Second: I give you a roadmap—specific, tactical, usually stuff your current team can execute or I do together. After that, it’s quarterly strategy sessions or as-needed problem-solving. The scope is clear. You’re not paying for hours; you’re paying for thinking.

Typical advisory engagement

  1. Initial strategy sessionWe dig into your account (or blank-slate if you’re new to Google Ads), your market, and your goals
  2. Findings and roadmapYou get a clear plan—what’s working, what’s broken, what to test, and the priority order
  3. Ongoing supportMonthly or quarterly check-ins, or as-needed advice. You decide the cadence.
  4. ExecutionYour team or my recommendations—either way, you’re moving with confidence

Frequently asked questions

How much does strategic advisory cost?

From £300/month for ongoing strategy work. For a one-off strategy session or audit, I’ll quote on a call. It depends on scope and your situation.

Do you work alongside my current team?

Yes. Often that’s the best fit—your team executes, I review and steer. No politics, just clear communication and shared goals.

What if I'm unhappy with my current agency?

I can audit your account and tell you honestly if you should switch, stay, or change your brief with them. Sometimes the fix is simpler than finding a new partner.

How does this work with Arundel's high CPCs?

High CPCs mean you can’t afford mistakes. Smart targeting, relentless testing, and strategic bidding are all the more important. That’s exactly where advisory shines.

Can you do a strategy session for ecommerce?

Absolutely. I specialise in ecommerce and D2C. Same for home services and trades. Tell me your niche on the call and we’ll go deep.

What if I just want someone to talk to?

Perfect. That’s advisory. Sometimes a business needs a trusted voice who isn’t invested in selling them something.
