What a second opinion looks like

Your current PPC person might be solid, or they might be coasting. Either way, sometimes you need an outside voice asking the hard questions. We review your account, your strategy, and your results. Then we tell you honestly: what’s working, what’s wasted, and what’s missing. No loyalty to past decisions, just clarity.

Consulting areas we cover

Fractional PPC partnership

Not everyone needs full-time management. Maybe you have someone running ads but you want a senior strategist weighing in quarterly, or validating big decisions before they happen. We work fractionally—a few hours per month, structured around your decision cycle. You set the cadence. You pay a retainer. We’re your trusted voice when it matters.

Real talk about your current setup

If your current PPC manager is a junior or apprentice, you deserve better. If they’re a full-service agency crushing a dozen clients each, your account might be on cruise control. If you’re managing it yourself and ads feel like a lottery, yeah, you need help. We work with all three scenarios and won’t waste your time if we’re not the right fit.

How consulting works

  1. 1. Initial reviewShare your account (read-only access) and your business goals. We dig through the numbers—structure, keywords, audiences, bid strategy, conversions.
  2. 2. Findings callWe walk you through what we found. The good, the bad, the irrelevant. You get a clear picture of what’s actually happening.
  3. 3. Recommendations & cadenceWe propose what to fix and how often we should talk. Weekly check-ins, monthly strategy reviews, quarterly dives—whatever matches your pace and budget.

Pricing for consulting

Starts from £300 per month for fractional ongoing partnership. For a one-time audit or strategic review without ongoing work, I’ll quote based on scope. Call and tell us what you’re looking for; we’ll give you a fair price.

Frequently asked questions

When should I hire a consultant instead of full management?

If your ads are already running and broadly working, but you’re not sure if you’re optimising right. Or if you have someone managing them but you want validation that they know what they’re doing. Or if you have strong internal expertise but need a senior voice on strategy decisions. Consulting is often cheaper and faster than full handoff.

What if I want to switch from my current PPC person to you for full management?

That’s fine too. Start with a consulting call to audit what’s running now. If you decide to move full management to us, I’ll handle the transition. Usually that means we take over the account, rebuild the structure if needed, and ensure nothing breaks in the handoff.

How does fractional work in practice?

We set up a calendar cadence—maybe a monthly 30-minute call, or quarterly deeper reviews. You email or Slack us questions. We look at your data between calls and flag things that need attention. It’s less intensive than full management but you still get senior eyes on your strategy.

Do you consult for Stalybridge specifically or nationwide?

Nationwide. We’re remote and work across the UK. Stalybridge and Greater Manchester clients are welcome, and we have solid experience with local trades businesses in that region.

What's the difference between consulting and a one-time audit?

A one-time audit is a snapshot—we review your account, write a report, give you findings. That’s it. Consulting is ongoing—you get regular check-ins, we stay engaged with your results, we help you execute the plan.

Can I start with consulting and upgrade to full management later?

Yes. If we’re consulting and things go well, we can graduate to full management at any point. We’ll simply increase the retainer and the scope of work.
