When a second opinion on Google Ads actually matters

You have someone running your Google Ads—an in-house marketer, a junior, or an agency. But something feels off. Maybe your ROAS is flat. Maybe you’re not clear why certain campaigns are underperforming. Maybe you suspect your tracking is leaking data. Or maybe you just want to know if your strategy is sound.

That’s where strategic consulting comes in. I come in as a fractional senior strategist, review your account structure, your copy, your bidding approach, and your tracking, and tell you what’s working and what isn’t. I’ve spent 12 years seeing what works and what doesn’t across ecommerce and home services. I’ve directly managed £2M+ in Google Ads spend. I know the patterns.

What I look at in a strategic review

You stay in control; I provide strategy

I don’t take over your account. I work alongside whoever is running it—your in-house team, your junior, your agency. I audit, I advise, you and your team decide what to implement. My job is to surface the gaps and opportunities that someone deep in the day-to-day might miss.

Why this matters in Kent's competitive landscape

Tonbridge sits in the London commuter belt, which means Google Ads click costs here are London-level. Competition for clicks is fierce. That also means strategy—not just bid management—is what separates profitable accounts from ones that bleed money. A strategic review often uncovers £500+ in monthly waste that can be redirected to winners. At Kent’s CPC levels, that matters.

How a strategy consultation works

  1. Initial call (30 mins, free)You tell me what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s bugging you. I ask clarifying questions about your business model, margins, and goals.
  2. Deep audit (1–2 weeks)I review your account structure, ad copy, bidding, tracking, and competitive positioning. I don’t move anything; I just look.
  3. Strategy session (60 mins)I present findings—what’s working, what’s not, and what I’d change if it were my account. We talk through each recommendation. You decide what to implement.

Frequently asked questions

What does a PPC strategy consultation cost?

I quote based on the scope of the audit and the depth of strategy work needed. Initial call is free. For a full audit and strategy session, I’ll give you a tailored quote based on what we discover during that call.

Can you consult on Google Ads for businesses in Tonbridge and the surrounding areas?

Yes. I work UK-wide, remote-first. Tonbridge and Kent are perfect markets for this kind of fractional advisory work, especially given the high click costs in this region.

Do you work with in-house teams or only with agencies?

Both. I work with in-house marketing teams, with agency teams who want a second set of eyes, and with business owners running their own ads. The approach is the same—I audit and advise.

How long does a full strategy engagement take?

A full audit and strategy session usually takes 2–3 weeks from start to finish. The actual work is spread over that time, but the final strategy session is usually 60 minutes.

What if I need implementation support, not just strategy?

If strategy work leads to implementation support, we can discuss options. I offer ongoing management as a separate service, or I can coach your team through implementing the recommendations.

Can you audit an agency's work if we're unhappy with them?

Yes. I’ll audit your account objectively and tell you what’s working and what isn’t. Some clients discover their agency is doing fine; others discover they’re not. Either way, you get clarity.
