I work with business owners who need real guidance, not account management. ## When You Need Strategy, Not Another Account Manager You have someone running your Google Ads — maybe an agency, maybe in-house. But you're not getting clear answers. Spend is up, but are results up? Is there a plan, or just reactions? Are you actually tracking conversions or guessing? That's where a consultant comes in. I'm a second brain for your Google Ads. You keep your operator; I give you the strategy and keep everyone honest. ### 12 Years. £2M+ Managed. Straight Talk. > **I'll tell you if your ads are fine or if something is broken.** Most accounts have fixable waste. Some don't. My job is to find it, explain it, and help you decide what to do. ## What Consulting Covers - **Account audit** — full review of structure, tracking, bidding, audience setup. Where's the waste? What's missing? - **Strategy sessions** — quarterly or as-needed calls to set direction, discuss tests, evaluate performance - **Bid strategy review** — is your bidding approach suited to your margin and market? - **Tracking diagnosis** — are you actually measuring what matters, or flying blind? - **Competitive positioning** — how are you positioned against local and national competitors in Chelmsford and beyond? - **Scope & messaging** — are you bidding on the right keywords for your brand, market, and margin? ## The Fractional Model You don't need someone full-time. You need someone senior to check in, ask hard questions, and challenge assumptions. That's fractional consulting. Monthly retainer, recurring check-ins, quick-turnaround audits when something feels off. I'm available by Slack or email between calls. If something urgent comes up mid-month, we sort it. No bureaucracy. ## The First Consultation 1. **You tell me the story** — What are your goals? What's your ad spend? What's your margin? What's actually working, and what feels off? 2. **I audit your account** — Full structural review: keyword grouping, landing page alignment, conversion tracking, bid strategy, audience setup. 3. **I show you the findings** — Here's what's working. Here's the waste. Here's what to test. Here's what to fix first. 4. **We agree on next steps** — Do you want ongoing strategy? A one-off audit? Quarterly check-ins? Let's decide what makes sense for you. ## Especially for Chelmsford Businesses in High-Cost Markets Chelmsford is in the London commuter belt, which means Google Ads CPCs here are steep. That's competitive pressure you can't ignore. Strategy becomes even more important — you need the right bid strategy, precise audience targeting, and ruthless waste elimination. A consultant who understands your market can point out what's draining budget without results. ### Other PPC help in Chelmsford - [PPC Agency in Chelmsford](/ppc-agency/chelmsford/) - [PPC Audit in Chelmsford](/ppc-audits/chelmsford/) ### Nearby areas I cover - [Billericay](/ppc-consultant/billericay/) - [Maldon](/ppc-consultant/maldon/) - [South Woodham Ferrers](/ppc-consultant/south-woodham-ferrers/) - [Wickford](/ppc-consultant/wickford/) - [Chipping Ongar](/ppc-consultant/chipping-ongar/) - [Great Dunmow](/ppc-consultant/great-dunmow/) ### Regional coverage - [PPC Consultant across Essex](/ppc-consultant/essex/) ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does consulting cost? From £300 per month for ongoing fractional support. Scope varies based on your needs — quarterly strategy calls, quick audits, ad hoc advice. I'll quote a package after the first call when I understand what you need. ### Can I hire you part-time instead of an agency? Yes. That's exactly what fractional consulting is. You keep your current operator or hire someone in-house, and I work with you on strategy, audits, and direction-setting. Monthly retainer, and I'm available between calls for urgent questions. ### What if I find out my tracking is broken? I'll diagnose it and show you what's wrong. I can advise on fixing it, but implementation (GTM setup, conversion tag installation) usually goes to your developer or agency tech team. My job is spotting the problem and explaining it clearly. ### How do Chelmsford and Essex factors affect strategy? CPCs in the Chelmsford area are London-level because of the commuter population and regional competition. That means your bid strategy, audience targeting, and margin thresholds all need to reflect higher acquisition costs. Geography isn't just location targeting; it's a cost factor that shapes strategy. ### Do you work with a specific ad platform? Google Ads is my primary focus. I'm Google Partner certified and can advise on Microsoft Ads, but my deep expertise and day-to-day work is Google Ads. ### What's included in a strategy call? Full conversation about your business, goals, current performance, and what's confusing or frustrating. I ask real questions. We don't just review metrics; we talk strategy — what you're trying to achieve and how your ads should support that. ## Let's talk strategy. Book a consultation call. We'll go through your account, talk through your goals, and figure out whether ongoing consulting makes sense for you. No obligation. **Call 07410 907 104**
