You have ads. You want a second opinion.

You’ve got someone managing your Google Ads already — maybe an agency, maybe an employee, maybe a generalist. But something feels off. CPCs seem high. Scaling isn’t working. Tracking’s messy. Or you just want an expert to review quarterly and call out what’s broken. That’s what I do.

Harpenden's ad costs run London-high

The town’s in the London commuter belt, which means competition for ad clicks is fierce. That shows in your CPCs. Senior strategy catches that waste faster. A junior misses it.

What a fractional consultant does

When you need fractional Google Ads expertise

Maybe your internal person or existing agency is solid but stretched thin. Maybe you want expert validation before a big spend increase. Maybe you’re in-house but want a strategic check-in every quarter. I’ve managed £2M+ in ad spend across ecommerce, D2C, and home services. I spot patterns—what’s working, what’s wasted, what’s a trap.

How consulting works

  1. Strategy callTell me what you’re running, what’s working, what’s stuck. I ask questions.
  2. Audit or reviewI review your account(s) and give written recommendations—strategy, structure, tracking, scaling.
  3. Ongoing adviceMonthly or quarterly check-ins. Or as-needed calls. You decide.

Frequently asked questions

Is consulting different from full management?

Yes. As a consultant, I advise and review. I don’t log in and run things daily. You or your team execute. You stay in control.

What if my current agency is fine?

Then I’ll tell you so. I’m not here to replace someone who’s doing good work. Sometimes a second opinion costs more than it saves.

Can you work alongside my current agency or employee?

Absolutely. I’ve done this many times—brought in for quarterly audits, strategic advice, or crisis review while someone else runs day-to-day.

What does a typical quarter of consulting look like in Harpenden?

Could be a deep account audit, a strategy call, and one check-in—or four quarterly reviews depending on what you need. We tailor it on a call. Base anchor is from £300/month; I’ll quote based on scope.

Do you specialise in any particular industries?

Ecommerce, D2C, and home services. If that’s you, I have frameworks. Other niches—I’ll discuss fit with you first.

How is Harpenden different as an ad market?

CPCs here track with London—high competition, high click costs. Strategic targeting and relentless bid management are essential. Waste shows up fast.
