# PPC Consultant for Pickering Businesses

You've got someone running ads. You need a second opinion. Strategy, audits, troubleshooting—from £300/month.

## A Second Opinion on Your Google Ads

Maybe your current agency isn't delivering. Maybe you're managing ads in-house but hitting a ceiling. Maybe you just want senior eyes on the strategy before you double your budget.

I work *with* your existing setup, not replacing it. We identify what's working, what's broken, and what needs rethinking. You make the call—implement my recommendations yourself or hire me to oversee.

### Fractional, On-Demand Expertise

> 12 years in Google Ads, £2M+ managed directly, Google Partner certified. I specialise in ecommerce and home services. You get senior-level strategy and troubleshooting without the cost of a full-time employee or overpaying an agency for mediocre work.

## Typical Advisory Engagements

- **Strategic review** — audit your current structure, bid strategy, and audience targeting
- **Copy and creative feedback** — why some ads underperform, how to test better angles
- **Tracking audit** — are you measuring conversions correctly? Are there blind spots?
- **Fractional management** — I set direction and oversee changes; you or your team execute
- **Problem-solving** — campaign's tanking, ROAS dropped, new platform to test—get advice before you move

## Why Pickering Businesses Hire Consultants

In smaller towns like Pickering, Whitby, and Helmsley, competition is lighter but audience size is tighter. That means micro-targeting and creative messaging matter even more. A consultant helps you avoid wasting budget on broad reach that doesn't convert.

## How a Consultation Works

1. **Initial Call** — You describe the problem: campaign underperforming, new market, budget change. I ask clarifying questions.
2. **Account Review** — I log in (read-only access), audit structure, keywords, bidding, tracking, creative.
3. **Recommendations** — Specific, actionable fixes. Some quick wins; some need testing. We discuss priority and cost.
4. **Support** — Ongoing—you implement or I oversee; we iterate based on results.

## Consultant vs. Full Management

- **You want advisory** — hire a consultant for strategy and troubleshooting
- **You want hands-on** — hire an agency for daily bid changes and creative testing
- **You're unsure** — start with a consultation; decide after you see recommendations

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a consultation cost?

From £300/month for ongoing advisory support. One-off audits and strategic reviews are quoted per engagement. Call for a tailored estimate.

### Can you access my Google Ads account?

Yes. You grant read-only access (or management access if you want me to implement changes). You keep ownership and control.

### How long does an audit take?

Depends on account size and complexity. A small campaign: a few hours. A mature account with multiple products: a day or two. I quote upfront.

### Will this help my Pickering business compete with bigger cities?

Absolutely. Smaller towns like Pickering have less ad competition and tighter communities. Smart targeting and honest copy outperform big-budget agencies here because relevance matters more than reach.

### What if I implement your advice and it doesn't work?

That's data. We learn from it and adjust. Good strategy includes testing; testing means some experiments fail. We iterate until we find what works for your margin.

### Can I still hire you if I have an agency?

Yes. Many clients use consultants to sense-check agency work. If there's a conflict or the agency resists, we'll know it's time for a change.

## Need a Second Opinion on Your Ads?

Book a consultation. Bring your account access (or export a performance report), and we'll diagnose what's working and what needs to change. First conversation is free if you've got a specific problem to solve.
