You've Got Ads Running. You Need a Second Opinion.

Maybe you’re managing them in-house. Maybe you’ve outsourced to an agency but don’t feel confident they’re actually optimising. Maybe you’ve hired someone part-time and they’re drowning. Whatever the situation, you’re left asking: Are we optimising for the right thing? Is this actually working? Are we leaving money on the table?

That’s where strategic consulting comes in. I’m a second opinion—sometimes a fractional COO for your PPC. I audit your setup, challenge your assumptions, show you gaps you didn’t know existed, and help you build better campaigns or manage better oversight of whoever’s running them.

When You Need a PPC Consultant

My Background

12 years in Google Ads, £2M+ of ad spend managed directly. Certified Google Partner and Microsoft Ads. I’ve built playbooks for ecommerce, D2C, and home services—the same verticals I work in today. I’m not here to move work from your current provider to me. I’m here to make sure you’re asking the right questions and getting real answers.

Strategy Sessions Are Blunt

I’ll tell you what’s working and what isn’t. No vanity metrics, no fluff. If your ads are fine, I’ll say so. If they’re bleeding money, you’ll know exactly where and why.

How Fractional Consulting Works

Typically I build a cadence: monthly strategy calls, ad-hoc questions via email, quarterly deep dives into performance. Sometimes you need more (campaign launch, troubleshooting), sometimes less (things are stable). We figure out the rhythm that makes sense for your business. Pricing starts from £300/month, but I quote based on scope. That first call is free—I’ll ask what you’re trying to solve and whether this is the right fit.

What Happens First

  1. Consultation call (free)Tell me what’s happening. Current setup, current results, what’s working and what’s frustrating you. I’ll ask targeted questions to understand the real problem.
  2. Brief audit (if needed)Review your account structure, tracking, audiences. Spot the quick wins and the deeper issues. Show you my findings in plain language.
  3. Ongoing relationshipDepending on scope, we establish a cadence. Monthly calls, quarterly reviews, always accessible for questions. You stay in control; I provide oversight and strategy.

Frequently asked questions

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

An agency runs your ads for you (done-for-you). A consultant advises, audits, and strategises while you (or your team) execute. You keep control. I keep you honest.

Do you work with Oldham and Greater Manchester businesses?

Yes. I’m remote, UK-wide. Doesn’t matter where you are—the strategy and advice are the same.

Can you help us manage our current agency relationship?

Absolutely. Sometimes you need an independent voice to sense-check what your agency is doing, push on results, or help you ask better questions. That’s a valid use of consulting.

What's the typical cost?

Starts from £300/month for basic fractional oversight. More intensive consulting (weekly calls, detailed audits, campaign strategy) runs higher. I quote based on scope after our first call.

Do you have clients like mine?

Yes. I’ve consulted for ecommerce sellers, home services providers, and D2C brands. If your niche is different, I’ll tell you up front whether I’m the right fit.

What if I'm only looking for a one-off question?

That’s fine. Sometimes it’s a strategy call, sometimes a specific audit. We can do that without a retainer. Book a consultation and we’ll talk about what you need.
