Advisory work, not hand-holding

I don’t take over your campaigns. Instead, I audit them, spot what’s broken, and hand you (or your team) the roadmap to fix it. If you already have someone running ads and want a second opinion, or you’re running them in-house and need strategic guidance, this is the fit.

Why consult instead of handing off?

Some teams want to own their ads. Fair enough. But Google Ads is intricate — bid strategies, keyword architecture, creative testing, conversion tracking — and one missed detail costs thousands. Consulting lets you stay in control while tapping 12 years of Google Ads experience.

Typical consulting engagements

Real talk about West Mersea's Google Ads market

You’re in the London commuter belt — CPCs are high and competition is stiff. That means your bid strategy, quality score, and creative testing need to be tight. I’ve managed £2M+ in ad spend directly; I know exactly how to build campaigns that work in pricey markets like yours.

Typical consulting flow

  1. Intake callYou share your goals, current setup, and pain points. I ask the hard questions.
  2. Audit & analysisI dive deep into your accounts, competitors, and market. Usually takes 3–5 hours.
  3. Strategy callI walk you through findings, gaps, and a clear roadmap. We agree on next steps.

Frequently asked questions

How much does consulting cost?

It depends on scope. A one-off audit is different from ongoing fractional leadership. I charge from £300/month for fractional work, or I’ll quote a specific engagement on a call. Get in touch and I’ll scope it properly.

Can I use this if I already have an agency?

Absolutely. Bring me in to review their work, spot gaps, and provide a second opinion. Many teams find that independent review uncovers hidden cost savings.

Is this suitable for West Mersea small businesses?

Yes — ecommerce, trades, services, local lead generation. If your business relies on Google Ads revenue, consulting makes sense. The CPCs in Essex are high, so strategic work pays for itself fast.

How often would we meet?

Depends on the engagement. One-off audits are usually a single deep dive plus a debrief. Fractional retainers typically run monthly check-ins. I’m flexible on cadence.

What if your advice conflicts with what my current team says?

That’s the point of a second opinion. I’ll be direct and explain my reasoning. You decide whether to follow it. I’ve caught expensive mistakes this way — and sometimes confirmed that the current approach is sound.
