When a Consultant Makes Sense

You hire a consultant when you need a second opinion, a strategic shift, or hands-on help on specific campaigns. Maybe your current ads aren’t performing. Maybe you’re scaling and need to rethink your keyword structure. Maybe you’ve got a launch coming and need expert input before you spend money.

I work with your existing team or directly on your account. The model is flexible—some clients want me 2 days a week; others need me once a month for a strategic review and guidance.

Typical Consulting Engagements

How It's Different from Management

As a consultant, I advise and guide. I don’t make every bid adjustment and ad pause myself—you or your team do, or I work alongside them. It’s hands-on strategy and problem-solving, not daily operational management.

This works well if: you’ve already got someone managing ads but need a senior review; you want to avoid hiring full-time staff; you’re testing an idea before committing to ongoing spend; or you need fractional senior time on a specific problem.

Honest Starting Point

I often tell clients their ads are fine as-is. Sometimes the gap isn’t in Google Ads—it’s in landing page conversion rate or product/service margin. I’ll tell you that straight up, which usually saves you money.

Pricing

From £300/month for fractional time (typically 1–2 days/week). Exact scope depends on what we’re working on. Some engagements are fixed quarterly; some are ongoing with a minimum commitment.

I quote based on the scope of work. An audit might be £2,000 fixed. A three-month strategy consulting engagement might be £1,200/month. We’ll agree it upfront and in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire you as a consultant if I already have someone managing my Google Ads?

Yes. I work with in-house teams and agencies to provide senior oversight. I’ll review their work, give you a strategic direction, and help them execute—or take over if needed.

How often would I need your input?

Depends on the engagement. Some clients need 4 hours a week; others need 8 hours a month. We’ll define the scope and adjust as we go.

Is consulting cheaper than full management?

Often yes—you’re paying for strategy and oversight, not daily management. But if your account needs daily hands-on work, full management might be better value.

Do you offer consulting for Stowmarket businesses specifically?

I work with businesses across the UK, including Suffolk and East Anglia. I specialise in ecommerce and home services; the location matters less than the business model.

Can I start with a one-off audit, then move to ongoing consulting?

Yes. Many clients do that. We’ll do an initial audit (fixed fee), agree on what needs fixing, then move to ongoing consulting for 2–3 months to implement it.

What if we just need strategy for one campaign?

That’s fine. We can do a one-off engagement: build the strategy, set it up, hand it over. Quote depends on scope.
