Why you might want a consultant instead of an agency

Agencies need to justify headcount. Consultants don’t. You get honest advice: sometimes the answer is ‘your ads are fine, don’t change anything.’ Other times it’s ‘you’re haemorrhaging money and here’s why.’ In Horley’s London-tier click market, a smart strategy matters more than volume—that’s where fractional guidance often saves you thousands.

Pricing

From £300/month for ongoing fractional work. One-off strategy calls and audits vary; quote on a call after we’ve talked through your specific situation. No hidden fees. No contract tricks.

A typical engagement

  1. Initial consultationYou describe your ads (or lack thereof), goals, margins, current spend. I ask the questions that matter.
  2. Strategic directionI come back with a recommendation: ‘here’s what should change’, or ‘you’re actually on the right track, but tighten this’, or ‘you need a totally different approach’.
  3. Ongoing guidanceDepending on the deal, I review your account monthly, answer questions, guide optimisations. You decide what to implement.

Good fit checklist

You already run ads but feel blind. You’re doing it in-house and want expert validation. You want to hire someone but first need to understand what good looks like. You’re in Horley or Surrey and know your local CPCs are steep—might as well optimise before spending more. You hate bullshit and want someone to give it to you straight.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a consultant and an agency?

An agency sells management; a consultant sells advice. I give you strategy and direction; you decide what to do with it. No overhead costs passed to you, no junior labour to offset.

Do you work with Horley and Surrey businesses?

Yes, UK-wide. I know Horley’s market—high competition, London-level CPCs. That actually makes strategy consultation more valuable because the difference between good and mediocre spend is larger.

Can I hire you just for a single strategy call?

Absolutely. Quote depends on complexity; call me to discuss. Sometimes a single focused call clarifies everything. Sometimes you need follow-up. Let’s figure out what you need.

What if I hire you to review someone else's work?

Standard move. I’ll audit the account, tell you what’s working and what’s wasteful, and give you a roadmap. You then decide whether to fix it yourself or bring in someone (agency, freelancer, or back to me for ongoing guidance).

How much does fractional monthly consulting cost?

From £300/month, depending on scope. That might mean monthly strategy reviews, quarterly deep dives, or ongoing availability for questions—we set that based on your actual needs.

Do you specialise in particular industries?

Yes—ecommerce/D2C and home services/trades. Both have different funnel logic and unit economics; I know both inside out. Other industries, we talk—might still work.
