When to bring in a consultant

You have someone running your ads — an agency, a junior in-house, or yourself. They’re doing okay, but something feels off. Costs are rising, conversions are flat, or you’re not sure if the strategy is right. You don’t need a new agency; you need a straight answer from someone who’s seen it all. That’s what I do.

What I offer as a consultant

The fractional model

You don’t need a full-time PPC manager. You need someone senior to check your work, spot missed opportunities, and steer strategy. Fractional consulting means 4–8 hours/month (or however much you need) of my time — monthly strategy calls, email advice, ad copy feedback. You keep your existing team; I make them better.

Pricing

Fractional support starts at £300/month. One-off consultations are quoted individually based on scope. Book a call, tell me what you need, and we’ll agree on cost before we start.

How a consultation works

  1. Scoping callYou describe the problem. What’s working? What isn’t? How much time are we talking?
  2. Information gatheringYou share campaign structure, performance data, current strategy. I audit it.
  3. Findings & recommendationsI deliver clear, prioritised findings. What to fix first, why, and how.
  4. Follow-upIf it’s fractional, we lock in a cadence. If it’s one-off, you have the roadmap.

Who this suits

You’re running ads competently but want expert validation. You have budget constraints and can’t hire full-time. You’re between agencies. You trust your current team but want a senior second opinion quarterly. You’re growing fast and need strategy guidance without overhead.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with consultants in Nottingham?

I work with everyone across the UK, Nottinghamshire included. Whether you’re in Nottingham, Hucknall, Long Eaton, or anywhere else, we work entirely remote — calls, email, shared dashboards.

Can I hire you part-time alongside an agency?

Yes, if the agency agrees. I’ve done it before. I act as your adviser, review their work, and flag issues. Some agencies welcome it; some don’t. Discuss with them first.

What if I'm doing ads myself?

Perfect use case. A monthly consultation helps you avoid expensive mistakes, spot optimisation wins, and validate your strategy. I’ll tell you honestly if your approach is sound or if you need to pivot.

How much detail do I need to share?

I need access to your Google Ads account to audit properly. You control what I see — we can limit it to read-only if you prefer. Email and calls are enough for strategy advice; detailed audits need account access.

What's the turnaround on recommendations?

Depends on scope. A single-issue consultation: feedback within a week. A full campaign audit: 2–3 weeks. I’ll tell you upfront.

Do you offer ongoing retainers?

Yes. Fractional retainers are common — typically one monthly call plus email support. We agree on scope and hours before you commit.
