You Have a PPC Person. You Need a Second Brain.

Maybe you’ve got an in-house person running ads. Maybe you hired an agency. Maybe you’re using software that’s supposed to automate everything. But something’s not right — spend is up, conversions are flat, or you’re just not sure if the strategy is actually sound.

That’s where I come in. I’m not here to replace anyone. I’m here to add expertise where it’s needed most.

With 12 years in Google Ads and £2M+ in managed spend, I’ve seen every mistake, every shortcut, and every hidden opportunity. I work with business owners and growth teams who want a senior consultant to audit their approach, challenge their assumptions, and find the gaps before they become expensive problems.

What This Looks Like

Fractional advisory, structured around your actual needs. Could be a monthly retainer for ongoing strategy support. Could be a quarterly deep-dive. Could be a single 2-hour session to stress-test a big campaign change. We figure out what serves you best.

Common Consulting Asks

Not an Audit, Exactly. Not Full Management Either.

This is for people who are hands-on, who want a senior voice in the room, or who need a gut-check before making a big decision. Could be that you’re scaling from £5k/month to £20k/month and want to make sure the strategy scales. Could be that you’re getting advice from multiple sources and want someone to call the shots. Could be that you just need someone who’s seen this before.

I’ve worked with founders in ecommerce and home services across the UK — from single-person operations to teams of 10. The consulting model works best when you’re serious about ads but either don’t have capacity to own it full-time or need external validation before you bet big money.

How to Price This

Consulting rates depend on scope. From £300/month for ongoing fractional support, up from there depending on intensity and duration. If you’re thinking bigger — a retainer for 10+ hours/month of strategic support — I’ll quote on a call based on what you actually need.

No surprise invoices, no hidden hours. Clear scope, clear timeline.

Why Haslingden Businesses Need This

Greater Manchester has great talent, but there’s a gap. Most agencies are too expensive or too junior. Most in-house hires are junior themselves. A fractional consultant fills that gap — you get senior thinking without the overhead. Whether you’re in Haslingden, Accrington, Burnley, or elsewhere, the model scales.

Frequently asked questions

When should I hire a consultant vs. an agency for full management?

Consultant if: you already have someone running ads and need a sounding board, or you’re managing it in-house and need strategy help. Agency if: you want it totally hands-off and you’re spending £5k+ monthly. Both have their place.

Can you help if we're based in Haslingden but serve the whole UK?

Absolutely. Your location doesn’t matter. I work fully remote. What matters is your ad spend and your willingness to test and optimise.

How much time commitment is this from my side?

Minimal if done right. Maybe an hour per week for calls, feedback, and decision-making. The rest is me thinking and doing the work.

Do you do one-off consulting calls?

Yes. Could be a single 2-hour deep-dive, could be ongoing monthly. I’ll design it around your needs and quote accordingly.

What if we discover our ads are actually broken and need full rebuilding?

That’s possible. Depending on the scope, I can either help you hire someone or take on full management if your budget supports it. But we start honest — I’ll tell you what I see and what it’ll take to fix it.

Are you a Google Ads expert or a generalist?

Google Ads only. That’s my expertise. I’m not going to advise you on Facebook or email — that’s not my lane. But for Google (Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display), I’m deep.
