You already run ads. I help you run them smarter.

Maybe your in-house marketer is stretched. Maybe you hired an agency but feel out of the loop. Maybe you’re doing the work yourself but getting stuck on one or two things. I step in as a senior consultant—fractional, focused, and honest. I’m not here to replace your team. I’m here to upgrade their thinking and catch what they’re missing.

Common consulting asks

Southend-on-Sea market insight

You know high CPCs when you’re bidding against London-level competition. What you might not know: Southend audiences respond to local trust signals more than flashy national campaigns. Messaging that works in London doesn’t always work here. I’ll help you sharpen for your actual market.

How the fee works

Consultation ranges widely depending on scope. I quote on a call after understanding your goals. The pricing anchor is from £300/month for ongoing fractional advisory. For a one-off audit or workshop, we agree a flat fee. No surprises, no markup on your ad spend—you pay Google directly.

The consulting process

  1. Initial callYou walk me through your current setup, your goals, and your pain points. I ask hard questions to understand what’s broken and why.
  2. Audit & findingsI review your account, analyse performance data, and document what’s working, what’s wasted, and what’s missing.
  3. Recommendation & coachingI present findings and recommend changes. If you want, I’ll coach your team through implementation or build it myself.
  4. Ongoing check-insIf you opt in, I’ll review progress quarterly and keep strategy sharp as your market shifts.

Why freelance consulting?

Agencies move fast and serve many clients. Consultants sit deep. I’ve managed over £2M in direct ad spend across ecommerce and home services. I know where money bleeds and why. I’ll tell you what’s really wrong and what’s actually worth fixing. I’m also a Google Partner and Microsoft Ads certified—you get someone who stays current.

Frequently asked questions

Can you help if I'm not happy with my current agency?

Absolutely. A consultation often includes a candid audit of your current setup. I’ll tell you what’s working and what isn’t, whether the account structure is sound, and whether the strategy aligns with your goals. You decide what to do with that insight.

How much does a consultation cost?

That depends on scope. A single strategic audit might be £500–£1,500. Ongoing fractional advisory starts at from £300/month. For custom work, I’ll quote on a call after we’ve talked about what you need.

Can you help if I'm managing ads myself in Southend-on-Sea or Essex?

Yes, that’s a common client. You know your business; I know Google Ads inside out. Together, we’ll sharpen targeting, validate tracking, and get more from your budget. A couple of coaching sessions often save more than they cost.

What's your typical engagement length?

It varies. Some clients want a one-off audit. Others prefer quarterly reviews. Some hire me for three months to reshape their account. We agree on the scope and duration upfront—no lock-in.

Do you work in the home services and trades space?

Yes. Plumbers, electricians, builders, HVAC specialists—I specialise in this niche. The dynamics are unique: tight margins, local competition, seasonal swings. I’ve optimised ads for all of it.

Will you ghost me after we engage?

No. I answer emails within a day. If you’re paying for consulting, you get access. I’m not juggling 100 accounts; I’m working with a handful of good clients.
