# PPC Consultant for Barnard Castle Businesses

Senior Google Ads consultant. Fix your campaigns, answer hard questions, give you a second opinion. Fractional advisory from £300/month.

## You have someone managing your ads. You need a second opinion.

Sometimes your in-house team or existing agency is doing okay, but you're not sure they're doing *well*. Maybe you're leaving money on the table. Maybe they're not communicating properly. Maybe you just want someone else to pressure-test the strategy.

That's where fractional consulting works. I come in, review your campaigns, ask the hard questions, and give you honest feedback. No politics, no agenda—just clarity.

### Honest enough to tell you your ads are fine

> Not every account needs rebuilding. If your campaigns are working, I'll say so. But if they're not, I'll tell you exactly why and what to do about it.

## What fractional consulting looks like

- **Account review and diagnosis** — I audit your campaigns, tracking, targeting, and bid strategy
- **Strategy advice** — recommend changes to structure, audience targeting, or budget allocation
- **Feedback on decisions** — before your team makes a big change, get a second opinion from someone with 12 years of hands-on experience
- **Training and handover** — teach your team what's working and why, so they can own it
- **Ongoing check-ins** — stay involved fractionally without taking over day-to-day management

## Fractional means you're still in control

I'm not here to take over. I'm here to advise and challenge. You make the decisions, run the day-to-day, own the budget. I make sure you're not making costly mistakes and that your strategy makes sense. Suits businesses in Barnard Castle, County Durham, and anywhere that need expertise without full-time management.

## How it starts

1. **Consultation call** — Describe your setup, your goals, and what's not working. I'll ask detailed questions to understand the situation.
2. **Account audit (if needed)** — Review your campaigns, tracking, and strategy. Identify the gaps and the wins.
3. **Feedback and recommendations** — Present findings and suggest changes. You decide what to act on.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do you replace my existing PPC person?

No. You keep your team or agency. I work alongside them or advise you as you make changes. The goal is better decisions, not a handover.

### Can you help us in Barnard Castle even though you're not local?

Location is irrelevant for Google Ads. I work remotely with teams across the UK. What matters is access to your account and honest communication.

### How much does fractional consulting cost?

From £300/month as a starting anchor. The exact price depends on the scope—whether I'm doing a one-off audit, regular check-ins, or strategy work. I'll quote after we talk.

### What if we disagree on strategy?

Good. Disagreement means you're thinking critically. My job is to explain my reasoning clearly so you can make an informed call. You're paying for expertise, not agreement.

### How often do we check in?

That depends on your needs. Could be monthly calls, quarterly reviews, or ad-hoc feedback when you're making changes. We'll agree on the cadence up front.

### Can you audit my tracking?

Yes. Most businesses have broken or incomplete tracking. Finding and fixing that is often where the biggest wins are. Proper tracking means you know what actually converts.

## Need a second opinion on your Google Ads?

Book a consultation. Tell me what's working, what isn't, and where you want help. No commitment, just honesty.
