When a second opinion makes sense

You’ve got someone managing your Google Ads—an agency, an in-house hire, a freelancer. But something feels off. Metrics are flat, spend keeps climbing, or you just don’t trust what you’re hearing.

That’s when a strategic review from an independent senior helps. Fresh eyes, no ego, no loyalty to previous decisions.

What a strategic consultation covers

I'll be honest. Sometimes your ads are fine.

Not every campaign needs a major overhaul. Sometimes the real issue is your product, pricing, or landing page. I’ll tell you what I actually find, not what you think you want to hear.

Fractional advisory, not handover

This model suits businesses that want to keep their current setup but gain a senior voice in key decisions. Monthly strategy calls, quarterly audits, or spot reviews—you stay in control, I advise. Some clients use this to train their in-house team; others use it as a safety net for big spending decisions.

How a consultation works

  1. Book a callTell us about your current setup, team, and what prompted the review.
  2. I audit your accountDeep dive into structure, tracking, strategy, and performance.
  3. Present findingsClear recommendations. What’s working, what’s wasting money, what to change first.
  4. Ongoing advisory (optional)Stay connected for strategy calls, testing feedback, or monthly check-ins.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with businesses in Greater Manchester, including Wigan?

Yes. I serve Wigan, Hindley, Ashton in Makerfield, Horwich, Skelmersdale, Leigh, Atherton, and throughout Greater Manchester. Fully remote, so location isn’t a barrier.

What's different from a strategy call with my current agency?

Your agency has skin in the game—they want to keep managing your account. I have no bias. I’ll recommend keeping your current setup if it’s sound, or changing direction if it’s not.

Can you spot problems my current team might have missed?

Quite often, yes. Fresh eyes catch structural issues, tracking gaps, and strategy misalignment. Not because your team is bad, but because it’s easy to stay in autopilot when you’re deep in an account.

What happens if the consultation shows major changes are needed?

We’ll map out a plan. Some clients implement changes themselves, some ask me to oversee them, others ask me to take over fully. Your call based on capacity and budget.

What if my ads are actually fine?

Then I’ll tell you that. Not every business needs to overhaul their PPC. If your strategy is sound and performance is stable, sometimes the answer is ‘keep doing what you’re doing and focus on other channels.’

How much does a strategic consultation cost?

Ongoing fractional advisory starts from £300 per month. For the exact scope and price, book a call to discuss your needs.
