# PPC Consultant for Formby Businesses

You have someone running your ads. You want a second opinion—or a strategy partner who can guide you without taking over. That's what I do.

## When to bring in a consultant

You might already have an agency, an in-house marketer, or someone running your Google Ads. But you're not sure if the strategy is right. You're seeing £10k a month in spend with no clear ROI. Or you're getting mixed signals about what's actually working.

That's where fractional strategy helps. I come in, review what you have, and give you honest feedback about direction. Sometimes that means your current person is fine and just needs a different brief. Sometimes it means your strategy is fundamentally off.

### This is advisory, not takeover

> You stay in control. I'm here to sanity-check decisions, challenge assumptions, and point out blind spots. Think of it as a senior advisor who knows your account inside out.

## What consultant work looks like

- **Strategy review** — Is your account structure right for your goals?
- **Campaign brief** — What you should actually be running, and why
- **Tracking audit** — Are you measuring the right things?
- **Troubleshooting** — Why isn't this working? Let's dig into it
- **Ongoing guidance** — Monthly or quarterly check-ins to stay on track

## Who uses this service

In Formby and across Greater Manchester, I work with three types of businesses:

*Ecommerce and D2C brands* trying to scale profitably. You know Google Ads works, but your margins are tight and every pound of ad spend has to count.

*Home services businesses*—plumbers, contractors, local tradespeople—with leads flowing in but no clarity on cost per job or lifetime value.

*Companies with in-house teams* who need strategic pressure-testing. Your marketer is capable, but you want an outside voice to validate the direction.

## How consultation starts

1. **Scope the work** — I understand what you need—strategy review, ongoing guidance, troubleshooting—and we agree on the engagement.
2. **Audit and assess** — I review your account, your tracking, and your business model. I ask questions that poke holes in assumptions.
3. **Recommend and advise** — Clear recommendations on strategy, structure, and next steps. Then ongoing input based on what you agree to do.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is this different from full management?

I don't run your campaigns day-to-day. I review, advise, and guide. You or your team implement. It's for businesses that want expertise and accountability without handing over full control.

### Can you work with an agency we're already using?

Sometimes. If your current agency is open to input, yes. If they're territorial, it gets awkward. We can discuss what makes sense for Formby and your situation.

### What does consultation cost?

Starting from £300/month for ongoing advisory. One-off reviews and specific troubleshooting quotes on a call, depending on scope.

### How often do we talk?

Depends on your needs. Could be weekly calls, monthly strategy sessions, or quarterly deep dives. We design it around what you actually need.

### What if I'm based outside Formby or Greater Manchester?

It doesn't matter. I work remotely across the UK. Location is irrelevant to strategy.

### Do you give written recommendations?

Yes. Audit reports, strategy briefs, campaign specs—whatever helps your team execute. No ambiguity.
