PPC Consultant across North Yorkshire

When you need expertise, not another agency

Not every business needs a full-service agency taking over their Google Ads. Sometimes what you need is a senior specialist who can look at what’s happening, tell you what’s wrong, and help you or your team fix it.

That’s what I do as a PPC consultant. I work alongside in-house marketers, business owners who manage their own campaigns, and companies who already have an agency but want an independent view of whether they’re getting value.

I’m Stevie Morris — 12 years in Google Ads, £2M+ in direct spend managed, Google Partner and Microsoft Ads certified. I work remotely across the UK, including North Yorkshire and the wider region.

Ways I work with clients as a consultant

• Fractional PPC consultant — Retained on a part-time basis to provide ongoing strategic direction without full management fees.
• Strategy and structure review — You bring me your current campaigns and I tell you honestly what’s working, what isn’t, and what to change.
• Second opinion — You’re not sure if your agency is performing. I review the account independently and give you an objective read.
• In-house team support — Your team runs the day-to-day; I provide senior oversight, answer technical questions, and review decisions before they go live.
• Channel and budget strategy — Should you be on Search, Shopping, Performance Max, or a mix? I help you make that decision based on your actual business, not what’s fashionable.
• Tracking and measurement consulting — If you’re not sure what you’re actually measuring or whether your conversion data is accurate, that’s a common problem I can fix.

Who typically works with a PPC consultant

In North Yorkshire and across the North of England I work with a range of clients in a consulting capacity. Ecommerce businesses with an in-house marketing team who want senior PPC input without a full management contract. Home services and trades companies where the owner runs their own ads and wants someone senior to check the structure and settings periodically.

I also work with businesses who’ve grown frustrated with their current agency — they’re paying monthly fees but don’t understand what’s being done or why. An independent consultant review gives you clarity on whether to stay, push back, or move on.

Yorkshire has strong clusters of independent business across manufacturing, professional services, home improvement, and retail — I understand these markets and the search behaviour in the region.

How a consulting engagement typically starts

1. Initial consultation callWe talk through what you’re trying to achieve, who currently manages your ads, and what kind of input would actually be useful — strategy, review, fractional, or one-off.
2. Account access (if needed)Depending on the engagement, I may request read access to review your campaigns, or we can work from exports and screenshots if you’d prefer not to share access initially.
3. Structured recommendationsYou receive clear, written guidance — not a generic report, but specific actions tied to your account, your goals, and your team’s capacity to implement.
4. Ongoing or one-offWe agree an arrangement that suits your situation. Some clients want a single strategy session; others want a retained monthly touchpoint. I’m flexible.

Pricing for consulting

Consulting engagements start from £300 per month. The right structure — whether that’s a monthly retainer, a project fee, or a single session — depends on what you need and how much of my time is involved. I’d rather give you a tailored quote after a call than publish a rate card that doesn’t fit most situations.

There’s no charge for the initial consultation call.
