Hire a Google Ads consultant
Request a free Google Ads audit. We review account structure, tracking, bidding, search terms and landing pages, then show where budget is being wasted.
Our PPC consulting finds where your ad budget is leaking and shows your team or agency how to turn spend into profit. We audit Google Ads, Performance Max, Microsoft, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns, rebuild targeting and tracking, and set clear targets for cost per lead and return on ad spend.
A PPC consultant (pay-per-click consultant) is a paid advertising specialist who plans, audits and improves campaigns on platforms such as Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn. They review account structure, keywords, audiences, bidding, ad copy, landing pages and conversion tracking to make every unit of budget work harder.
As independent Google Ads consultants, we don't take a percentage of your ad spend, so our advice isn't influenced by how much you spend. We find wasted budget, design the right campaign structure and testing plan, and coach your in-house team or agency month by month so your return on ad spend keeps improving.
Whether you're ready to hire, still researching or comparing options, here are straight answers to the questions we hear most about PPC and Google Ads consulting.
Request a free Google Ads audit. We review account structure, tracking, bidding, search terms and landing pages, then show where budget is being wasted.
A full audit covering conversion tracking, campaign structure, keywords and negatives, Performance Max, Shopping feeds and ad copy, with a prioritised action plan.
For Meta and LinkedIn ads we plan audiences, creative testing and budget split, and set clear cost-per-lead and return-on-ad-spend targets.
Pay-per-click advertising lets you show ads on Google, Bing, Meta or LinkedIn and pay only when someone clicks, so you can reach people at the moment they search or scroll.
Performance Max uses Google's automation to show ads across Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display and Maps. It works best with strong conversion data, good creative and clear exclusions.
Start from your target cost per lead or sale and the volume you need. Enough budget to gather data is essential; spreading too little across many campaigns wastes money.
Agencies often charge a percentage of spend, which rewards spending more. A consultant is independent and focused on efficiency, whoever manages the account day to day.
Google Ads captures people already searching; Meta ads create demand among people who aren't searching yet. Many businesses need both, in the right proportions.
Often yes, with expert guidance. We set up the structure, tracking and playbook, train your team and review performance so you keep control and save on agency fees.
You're investing in Google or Meta Ads but can't say what you get back. We fix tracking, find wasted spend and set profit-based targets.
Growth has stalled or costs are rising. We improve feeds, structure and bidding so you can scale profitably.
Leads arrive, but few become customers. We connect campaigns to your CRM so you optimise for qualified pipeline, not form fills.

Our PPC & Google Ads advice is built on 10+ years of senior, hands-on experience. Here's how we think about the areas that make the biggest difference.
Expert reviewedEvery recommendation is reviewed by a senior MarketingExpert4U consultant before it reaches you.
Search campaigns capture people actively looking for what you sell, so they're usually the most profitable place to start. We structure campaigns around intent, choose match types and negative keywords carefully, write ads that match the search and send traffic to relevant landing pages. Smart bidding only works well with accurate conversion data, so we make sure tracking is right before trusting automation.
Expert notePerformance Max can drive strong results for e-commerce and lead generation, but it needs good inputs: a clean product feed, strong creative assets, accurate conversion values and clear audience signals. We help you structure asset groups, protect brand search, compare results against standard Shopping and search campaigns, and keep the visibility you need to make decisions.
Expert notePaid social creates demand rather than capturing it. For consumer brands we plan Meta (Facebook and Instagram) campaigns with creative testing, broad targeting and retargeting. For B2B, LinkedIn Ads can reach decision-makers by job title, company and industry. We connect paid social to your CRM so you judge it on pipeline and sales, not likes.
Expert noteBad data leads to bad bidding. We audit Google Tag Manager, GA4 and platform tags, remove duplicate conversions, set up enhanced conversions and, where relevant, import offline sales from your CRM. The result is reporting that matches reality and automated bidding that optimises for real customers.
Expert noteNot sure whether you need a Google Ads consultant or an agency? Here's an honest, side-by-side comparison.
Fees, MarketingExpert4U: Not linked to your ad spend
Fees, Typical agency: Often a percentage of ad spend
Focus, MarketingExpert4U: Strategy, audits and coaching
Focus, Typical agency: Day-to-day campaign management
Account ownership, MarketingExpert4U: Always your accounts
Account ownership, Typical agency: Sometimes held by the agency
Independence, MarketingExpert4U: Unbiased on how much to spend
Independence, Typical agency: Incentive to increase spend
Best for, MarketingExpert4U: Teams or agencies needing senior direction
Best for, Typical agency: Businesses with no one to run campaigns
Still the right choice if you have no one in-house to implement and want everything done for you.
We find these PPC & Google Ads mistakes in almost every review we do. Each one quietly wastes budget or holds back results, and all of them can be fixed.
Get a free reviewSmart bidding optimises for whatever you tell it is a conversion. If tracking is wrong, automation spends money on the wrong things.
Without negative keywords and audience exclusions, ads show for irrelevant searches and burn budget.
Ads convert best when the landing page matches the search. Send traffic to focused pages.
Increasing budget on unprofitable campaigns usually makes them less profitable. Fix first, then scale.
Clicks and impressions are not goals. Measure cost per acquisition, return on ad spend and revenue.
Google Ads consulting is priced on the platforms, number of accounts and campaigns, and how much ongoing guidance you need, not as a percentage of your ad spend. Many clients start with a Google Ads audit, then continue with monthly PPC consulting while their team or agency implements the changes.
Your ad spend is always paid directly to Google, Microsoft, Meta or LinkedIn from accounts you own. We send a tailored quote after a free ads review.
