The second opinion that actually matters

You’ve got someone (or a team) running your Google Ads. They’re fine. But are they brilliant? Are they spotting the £500/month leaking to search queries that don’t convert? Are they testing new audiences? Are they structured to scale when you want to double your budget?

Fractional consulting is how Shildon businesses access senior expertise without paying for a full agency. We audit what you’re doing, recommend changes, and stay on call as your strategy advisor.

Typical consulting engagements

Not a replacement for your team

We’re not here to make you feel guilty about who you’ve hired. Consulting works because you already have someone in the seat—we just make them (and your account) better. If you need full hands-on management instead, that’s our agency service.

What you're paying for

12 years managing Google Ads directly. £2M+ in personal ad spend managed. Google Partner certified. And honesty—if your current structure is working fine, we’ll tell you. We don’t charge to give advice you don’t need.

How consulting starts

  1. Initial callYou describe your current setup, goals, and frustrations. We outline what support would look like for your account.
  2. First reviewWe audit your campaigns, tracking, structure, and performance. Detailed feedback on what’s working and what’s not.
  3. Ongoing partnershipWeekly or monthly calls (your cadence), direct access, strategic guidance as you optimise and grow.

Frequently asked questions

Is this cheaper than full agency management?

Usually yes, because you’re keeping your existing team. Consulting is typically lighter engagement and lower monthly cost than done-for-you management.

How often will we talk?

That depends on your needs. Some clients do weekly calls during growth phases; others monthly for check-ins. We’ll agree on cadence during your first consultation.

Do you work with County Durham businesses?

Yes. We’re remote and UK-wide. Location doesn’t matter as long as you have internet and can join calls.

What if I realise I need full management, not just consulting?

We can transition you to our managed service. It’s a natural progression if your account grows beyond what part-time guidance can support.

How is pricing structured?

From £300/month, tailored to your engagement level. During your consultation, we’ll quote based on how much time and depth you actually need.

Will you look at our tracking setup?

Yes. Broken tracking is one of the fastest ways to waste ad spend, and it’s usually fixable. We’ll audit it and tell you what needs attention.
