When you need a senior voice

Maybe your in-house team is good but stretched thin. Maybe you hired an agency that’s not improving your ROAS. Maybe you’ve hit a plateau and need fresh eyes on campaign structure, audience strategy, or bid modelling. That’s where advisory and fractional work fits.

I don’t replace your current setup—I work alongside it or audit it. After 12 years and £2M+ in direct Google Ads spend, I specialise in spotting the leverage points: tracking leaks, bid strategy weaknesses, audience segmentation that’s too broad, creative testing that’s not rigorous enough. For Reading-based ecommerce and trades, the CPCs are high enough that even small optimisations compound fast.

Fractional PPC consulting options

What fractional looks like

You’re still in control. We’re not replacing your current setup; we’re making it better. Monthly calls, written feedback, clear recommendations. You decide what to implement and when.

Pricing for advisory

We typically start from £300/month for fractional consulting, though scope and frequency matter. A one-off strategic audit might be quoted differently based on account complexity. The best way forward is a call—we’ll understand what you need and give you a fair number. No hidden fees, no surprise minimums.

Niches we know

Ecommerce and D2C—where every click has to produce a sale. Home services and trades—where a lead quality and lead volume are constant tension. In Reading and Berkshire, that’s local services, roofing, conservatories, plumbing, trades serving Wokingham, Crowthorne, Bracknell, and surrounding areas, plus online sellers fighting high CPCs. If you operate in those spaces, I can speak your language.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between fractional and a full audit?

An audit is a one-off diagnostic: we review your account, find the problems, write a report. Fractional means ongoing support—monthly strategy calls, testing roadmaps, bid adjustments. Pick whichever fits your needs.

Do you work with other agencies' clients?

Yes, I do. Sometimes a client has an agency they’re happy with but wants a second opinion, or they want help on a specific problem. I’m clear about overlap and don’t step on anyone.

Can you take over parts of my account while my team handles the rest?

Absolutely. Common split: we manage bids and bid strategy, your team manages keywords and creative. Or we run the testing, you manage day-to-day operations. It depends on what you need.

How long is a typical fractional engagement?

No contract. We might start with a three-month trial, monthly calls and recommendations. If it’s not working, you stop. If it is, we keep going.

What makes CPCs so high in Reading compared to other UK towns?

You’re in the London commuter belt. Search competition is fierce—national retailers, London agencies, local competition all bidding on the same keywords. It’s real; it means we have to be more disciplined on bid strategy and audience.

Do you work with Reading-based businesses and Berkshire teams specifically?

Yes. Half my consulting work is with regional UK businesses—trades, local services, online sellers. Geography doesn’t matter for remote advisory; what matters is understanding your margins and goals.
