Sometimes you need a second opinion, not a new agency

You might have an in-house team member managing your Google Ads. Or a freelancer. Or an agency you’re not quite sure about. The results feel flat, but you’re not certain whether it’s the strategy, the execution, or something else entirely.

That’s where a PPC consultant comes in — not to take over, but to look at what’s happening with experienced eyes and tell you honestly what’s working and what isn’t.

I’m Stevie Morris. I’ve spent 12 years in Google Ads and managed over £2M in ad spend directly. I work with businesses in Oxfordshire and across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and the wider region — remotely, without the overhead of an agency.

What PPC consultancy looks like in practice

I'll tell you if your ads are fine

Some consultants will always find something to fix — because finding things to fix means getting paid. If I look at your Oxfordshire business’s Google Ads account and the fundamentals are solid, I’ll tell you. You might not need me. That’s a legitimate outcome of a consultation, and I’d rather say it clearly than manufacture a problem.

Who this is for

PPC consultancy works best for businesses that already have some Google Ads activity in place — whether that’s managed in-house, by a freelancer, or through an agency — and want a senior perspective on whether they’re on the right track.

It’s also useful for businesses considering Google Ads for the first time who want to build a strategy before handing execution to anyone. I work primarily with ecommerce and D2C brands, and with home services and trades businesses across Oxfordshire and the neighbouring counties of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

If you’re based elsewhere in the region — Worcestershire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire — remote consultancy works exactly the same way.

How a typical engagement starts

  1. Initial callWe talk through your current situation — who’s running your ads, what the results look like, and what questions you’re trying to answer.
  2. ScopingDepending on what you need — a one-off review, ongoing advisory support, or help coaching your team — we agree on a scope that fits.
  3. DeliveryClear findings, practical recommendations, and honest answers. Not a 40-page report full of screenshots. Something you can actually act on.
  4. Follow-upIf ongoing advisory support makes sense, we agree a structure. If not, you leave with what you came for.

Pricing and how to get started

Consultancy engagements start from £300/month depending on scope and time commitment. For one-off reviews and project work, I’ll give you a tailored quote on a call — it depends entirely on what you need.

The best starting point is a conversation. Book a consultation and we’ll work out together what would actually be useful.

Frequently asked questions

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

An agency typically runs your campaigns for you on an ongoing basis. A consultant works at the strategic level — advising, reviewing, coaching, or providing a second opinion. The two aren’t mutually exclusive; you might use both.

I already have someone running my Google Ads. Can you work alongside them?

Yes. I can review what they’re doing, provide strategic input, or coach them — without replacing them or creating awkwardness. It depends on what you’re trying to achieve.

Do you offer one-off consultations for Oxfordshire businesses?

Yes. Not everything needs a retainer. If you want a structured review of your account or a strategy session, we can scope that as a standalone piece of work.

I'm not sure if my Google Ads are performing well. How do I know if I need a consultant?

If you can’t confidently answer ‘is this working?’ when you look at your reports, that’s usually a sign it’s worth a conversation. I can help you work out whether your results are reasonable or whether something’s wrong.

Do you work with businesses outside Oxford city?

Absolutely. I work with businesses across the whole of Oxfordshire — Banbury, Witney, Abingdon, Didcot, Bicester — and beyond into neighbouring counties. Everything is done remotely.

Not sure if your Google Ads strategy is right?
