When you need a senior voice in the room

You might have an in-house specialist or a junior team member running Google Ads. They’re trying. They’ve learned the basics. But they’re hitting a wall: campaign structure questions they can’t answer, bid strategy trade-offs they’re unsure about, creative direction that’s based on intuition rather than data.

Or you’ve got an agency, but the account feels neglected, or you want a second opinion that isn’t the same agency telling you to spend more.

That’s where fractional consulting works. I’m not there to replace anyone. I’m there to inject seniority, debug what’s wrong, and give you a roadmap that your team can execute.

The honest truth about Google Ads advice

Most advice is generic: ‘use broad match,’ ‘target the audience,’ ‘optimise for conversions.’ It doesn’t account for your business model, margin, or market. I give you the specific strategy for your numbers and your niche.

What fractional consulting looks like

Fractional consulting works best for

Ecommerce and D2C brands that need someone senior weighing in on creative strategy. Home services and trades where local Google Ads are usually undermanaged and competitive. Professional services where brand and intent signals are complex. Any business running ads in the London commuter belt (that includes Royal Tunbridge Wells and East Sussex) where CPCs are high and waste per click is expensive.

How a consulting engagement starts

  1. Initial auditYou give me access to your Google Ads account (read-only, no changes). I review structure, performance, tracking setup, and competitive landscape.
  2. Findings callI present what I find: what’s working, what’s bleeding money, where tracking is weak, where structure is holding you back.
  3. Consulting proposalBased on the audit and your goals, I outline a consulting package—frequency of calls, scope of strategic work, deliverables, and pricing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does fractional consulting cost?

It depends on scope. I quote on a call after we’ve clarified what you need. Pricing ranges based on frequency and depth, but it’s significantly less than a full-service agency. The anchor is from £300/month for basic strategy calls; more complex work is quoted separately.

Can you work with my existing agency or team?

Absolutely. I’m often brought in as a second opinion or strategic partner. I don’t compete with your team; I supplement them. That said, I’m direct about what’s working and what isn’t—if I see structural problems, I’ll tell you.

Do you do one-off consulting, or do you want long-term retainers?

Both. One-off audits and strategy calls are fine. Long-term fractional work is ideal because Google Ads drift—you need ongoing adjustments. But I’m flexible.

I'm in Royal Tunbridge Wells—do you understand the local market?

I work with UK businesses remotely and I understand regional differences. Royal Tunbridge Wells is in the London commuter belt, which means high CPCs and affluent buyer intent. That’s a distinct market dynamic I account for in strategy.

What if I want to move to ongoing management instead of consulting?

That’s possible. We can transition from fractional consulting to done-for-you management. Pricing and scope would be reset based on the new arrangement.

How do you handle confidentiality with my accounts?

Your account access is confidential. I don’t share performance, strategy, or learnings with other clients. You own the account; I’m advising on how to run it.
