You already have someone. You want a senior second opinion.

Maybe you’ve got an internal person running ads. Maybe you’re working with an agency but something feels off. Or you’re just not sure if you’re optimising the right way. That’s where fractional consulting comes in. I come in, look at what’s happening, tell you honestly what’s working and what’s not, then either advise your team or take pieces off their plate.

What I actually do in consulting mode

This works especially well if you're between agencies or growing fast.

Startups and scaling ecommerce often hit a point where in-house isn’t enough but an agency commitment feels wrong. Fractional consulting fills that gap. You get senior eyes without the overhead. And because I work across dozens of accounts, I spot patterns your isolated team might miss.

Not a rubber stamp.

I tell you if your setup is solid or if you’re burning money. Sometimes I audit an account and say ‘leave it alone’—it’s working. That honesty is worth more than a salesperson who always wants to change things.

How fractional consulting starts

  1. Initial conversationYou tell me what’s on your mind—strategy worries, team capacity, specific problems. I ask questions to understand the real issue.
  2. Quick audit or strategic reviewDepends on your need. Might be 2–4 weeks of part-time work, or a one-off deep dive. We scope it together.
  3. Recommendations or ongoing supportEither I hand you a written strategy and step back, or I stay on retainer to review changes your team makes. Your call.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from hiring an agency?

You stay in control. I advise and execute specific tasks; I don’t own the account. Smaller commitment, same senior expertise. Better for teams that want to learn or agencies that need a second set of eyes.

Can I use this just to review campaign ideas before we launch?

Yes. Some clients bring me in quarterly to review changes. Some on retainer, some ad-hoc. We set it up however works for you.

What if we're a Felixstowe business with a local team running ads—can you help us?

Exactly. I audit their setup, tell them what’s working and what to fix, then either train them or take over the weakest parts. Works well for growing local businesses.

Do you do training?

Yes, but I’m honest about it: most in-house teams don’t have time to become Google Ads experts. I teach the essentials—bid strategy, keyword quality, conversion tracking—but for ongoing optimisation, you’ll need a senior hand or fractional support.

How much does fractional management cost?

Depends on scope. From £300/month for part-time support. We’ll talk on a call about what you actually need and scope it properly.

Can you work around our existing agency?

Depends on them. If they’re confident, they’ll welcome a second opinion. If not, that might be your answer. I’ll always tell you the truth about whether you’re in good hands.

Not sure if you need full management or just advice?

Let's talk through your situation. I'll tell you whether you need a full-time partner, fractional support, or just a one-off audit. No pressure.
