Some already have an in-house marketer or a junior running their Google Ads. What they need is a senior specialist who can review the strategy, spot the gaps, and give clear direction without taking over the account. That's what I do as a PPC consultant. I work with business owners, marketing managers, and in-house teams across Essex who want a second pair of eyes — someone with 12 years of Google Ads experience and £2M+ in directly managed spend who can tell them honestly what's working and what isn't. ## What consultancy typically covers - **Strategy review** — is your current approach right for your market, your budget, and your goals? - **Second opinion** — you've been told something by your current agency or in-house team. I'll tell you whether I agree. - **Fractional support** — ongoing advisory, available when you need strategic input without monthly management fees. - **Campaign structure guidance** — helping your team build or restructure campaigns the right way. - **Tracking and attribution review** — making sure you're measuring the right things and not optimising to the wrong signals. ## Essex's competitive landscape requires experienced thinking Businesses in Essex operate in a high-competition environment. The county borders Greater London, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Kent — and the London commuter belt effect pushes CPCs up across most sectors. An inexperienced PPC operator can easily burn budget here without realising why conversions aren't improving. I specialise in ecommerce and home services — two sectors well represented across Essex. Whether you're a *D2C brand shipping nationally* or a local trades business targeting Essex homeowners, the principles are the same: tight targeting, honest tracking, and spend that earns its place. ### I'll tell you if your current setup is actually fine > A lot of consultants find problems because they need to justify the fee. I don't. If I review your account and your team are doing a solid job, I'll say so. Honesty is more useful to you than invented recommendations. ## How a consultancy engagement works 1. **Initial call** — We discuss your situation — what you're running, who's managing it, and what concerns or questions you have. 2. **Agreed scope** — We define what you need: a one-off review, ongoing monthly advisory, team training, or something else. 3. **Structured input** — I deliver clear, actionable recommendations — written or in a working session, depending on what's most useful. 4. **Ongoing access** — For fractional arrangements, I'm available for questions and reviews as your campaigns evolve. ## Credentials and experience I'm a Google Partner and Microsoft Ads certified consultant with 12 years of hands-on Google Ads experience. Through my sister agency Growth PPC, I've worked on accounts at significant scale — £20M+ managed, with a 20.8x peak ROAS on the right campaigns. Consultancy pricing starts from £300/month for ongoing arrangements. For one-off or project work, I'll give you a tailored quote on the call. Ad spend stays with you — I don't touch your billing. ### Other PPC help in Essex - [PPC Agency in Essex](/ppc-agency/essex/) - [PPC Audit in Essex](/ppc-audits/essex/) ### Neighbouring counties - [Suffolk](/ppc-consultant/suffolk/) - [Hertfordshire](/ppc-consultant/hertfordshire/) - [Greater London](/ppc-consultant/greater-london/) - [Cambridgeshire](/ppc-consultant/cambridgeshire/) - [Kent](/ppc-consultant/kent/) ### Towns I cover across Essex - [Chelmsford](/ppc-consultant/chelmsford/) - [Southend-on-Sea](/ppc-consultant/southend-on-sea/) - [Wivenhoe](/ppc-consultant/wivenhoe/) - [Wickford](/ppc-consultant/wickford/) - [Haverhill](/ppc-consultant/haverhill/) - [Thaxted](/ppc-consultant/thaxted/) - [Maldon](/ppc-consultant/maldon/) - [Stanford-le-Hope](/ppc-consultant/stanford-le-hope/) - [Saffron Walden](/ppc-consultant/saffron-walden/) - [Stansted Mountfitchet](/ppc-consultant/stansted-mountfitchet/) - [Rayleigh](/ppc-consultant/rayleigh/) - [Basildon](/ppc-consultant/basildon/) - [Brentwood](/ppc-consultant/brentwood/) - [Coggeshall](/ppc-consultant/coggeshall/) - [Chipping Ongar](/ppc-consultant/chipping-ongar/) - [Billericay](/ppc-consultant/billericay/) - [South Woodham Ferrers](/ppc-consultant/south-woodham-ferrers/) - [Burnham-on-Crouch](/ppc-consultant/burnham-on-crouch/) ## Frequently asked questions ### My current agency is based in Essex — should I still consider a consultant? Location is less important than expertise. What matters is whether your current setup is performing. If you have doubts — about the strategy, the reporting, or whether you're getting the right attention — a second opinion from an independent consultant is a smart move. ### Can you work alongside my in-house team? Yes. A lot of my consultancy work involves supporting in-house marketers who understand their business but want senior PPC input. I fit around your team, not the other way around. ### How is a freelance PPC consultant different from a large agency? With a freelance consultant, you're always talking to the senior specialist. There's no account manager layer, no handoffs to juniors. You get direct access to experience, not a process. ### What industries do you focus on in Essex? My core niches are ecommerce/D2C and home services and trades. Essex has a strong base of both — from online retailers to builders, landscapers, heating engineers and more. I'm particularly useful where local competition is high and CPCs feel out of proportion to results. ### How do you charge for consultancy? Ongoing advisory starts from £300/month. Project-based and one-off work is quoted individually — book a call and I'll give you a clear number based on what you actually need. ## Want a senior PPC specialist's view on your campaigns?
