You need a senior person to look at what's happening, tell you the truth, and either fix the strategy or help the person running your ads do it better. That's the work I do as a consultant. I'm Stevie Morris — 12 years in Google Ads, Google Partner and Microsoft Ads certified, £2M+ managed directly. I work with business owners in Northumberland and across the north of England who want strategic input without swapping agencies or rebuilding everything from scratch. ## What PPC Consultancy Looks Like in Practice - **Second opinion** — I review your current campaigns and tell you honestly whether they're well-run, mediocre, or actively wasting money - **Fractional strategy lead** — I work alongside your in-house team or existing agency, setting direction and reviewing work without doing the day-to-day - **Campaign planning** — pre-launch strategy, structure, and targeting decisions before budget goes live - **Tracking and attribution review** — making sure the data you're basing decisions on is actually accurate - **Ad copy and angle review** — checking whether your messaging matches search intent and what competitors are doing - **One-off problem solving** — performance has dropped, costs have spiked, conversions have disappeared — I find the cause ## 12 Years of Pattern Recognition Most PPC problems aren't new. Wasted spend on broad match, bidding strategies set to optimise for low-value conversions, Performance Max campaigns cannibalising branded traffic — I've seen these patterns hundreds of times. Having managed *over £2M in ad spend directly*, I can usually identify the core issue in a first conversation. The difference between an experienced consultant and a junior account manager isn't effort — it's knowing what to look for and where to look. ### I'll Tell You If You Don't Need Me > If your current setup is solid and the person running your ads is doing a good job, I'll say so. I'd rather give you an honest answer on a call than win work I can't genuinely improve on. ## How Consultancy Typically Works 1. **Initial consultation** — We talk through your situation — what's running, who's running it, and what you're trying to achieve. Free, no commitment. 2. **Scoping** — I propose what involvement makes sense — one-off review, ongoing advisory, or something in between. Pricing from £300/month; exact scope quoted on a call. 3. **Strategic input** — I deliver the agreed work — whether that's a written strategy, a live working session, or ongoing monthly calls with recommendations. 4. **Handover or continuation** — You keep full ownership of all accounts and work product. Continue with advisory support or wrap up when the work is done. ## Covering Northumberland and the North of England I work remotely with clients across the UK. For businesses in Northumberland — whether you're in the county's market towns, coastal areas, or the rural interior — remote working is genuinely no barrier. I've supported clients from County Durham to Cumbria to North Yorkshire this way for years. If you'd prefer a video call to start rather than a phone call, that works equally well.

It can be. Some business owners in Northumberland bring me in to independently review agency performance, help brief a new agency, or add strategic oversight without disrupting the existing relationship. It depends on the situation — we'd figure that out on a call. ### What's the difference between a consultant and a managed service? With managed service, I run the campaigns. With consultancy, I advise, review, and guide — but the day-to-day execution stays with you or your existing team. Both have their place depending on what you need. ### Can you work with our internal marketing team? Yes. Fractional PPC support alongside an in-house team is a common engagement. I set the strategy, review work, and act as the senior voice in the room — your team does the execution. ### How do you charge for consultancy? Starting from £300/month, with the exact scope and fee agreed before we start. For one-off engagements or specific projects, pricing is discussed on the initial call. I don't have set packages because every situation is different. ### Are you Google certified? Yes — Google Partner and Microsoft Ads certified. I've maintained those certifications alongside 12 years of active campaign management, so they reflect real working knowledge rather than a one-time exam. ## Get a Senior PPC Perspective on Your Campaigns Book a consultation and let's look at what's actually happening with your Google Ads. Whether you need a one-off opinion or ongoing strategic input, we'll work out the right level of involvement. **Call 07410 907 104**
