Why a consultant

PPC consultant vs. PPC agency

Both can work. But for most small-to-mid businesses, a PPC consultant delivers better results per dollar spent.

PPC consultant
+ You work directly with the senior person — always
+ No account manager in between. Questions get answered fast.
+ No long-term contracts. Start with a single session.
+ Lower overhead = more of your budget goes to media, not management fees
+ Full transparency — you see exactly what's happening and why
+ Strategy tailored to your business, not a playbook built for someone else
Typical PPC agency
Senior pitch, junior execution — your account often goes to a new hire
Account managers who don't touch the campaigns themselves
3–6 month contracts before you can assess results
Management fees of 15–20% of ad spend on top of media costs
Templated reporting that doesn't explain what's actually happening
Cookie-cutter strategies applied across all verticals

Who I work with

Is this the right fit?

Founders running their own ads

You've set something up but you're not sure if it's working. You want a senior eye on your account and a clear plan — not a $3k/month retainer.

Businesses burned by agencies

You've spent money with an agency and have little to show for it. You want direct control, full transparency, and someone who's actually accountable.

In-house marketers wanting to level up

You manage the ads internally but want coaching to sharpen your skills, spot what you're missing, and stay current as platforms change.

Agencies needing overflow support

You have more clients than capacity. I work white-label or as a named specialist — whatever fits your setup.

Local service businesses

Contractors, coaches, clinics, professional services — local businesses with real budgets and real customers to acquire. Google Local Service Ads + Search + Meta retargeting.

Ecommerce brands

Shopping campaigns, Performance Max, Meta catalogues, retargeting sequences. Focused on profitable ROAS, not just volume.

You know what's amazing about Francesco? He doesn't just know the ins and outs of ad platforms - he's actually been in the trenches making them work. When he explains things, it clicks. He takes all these complicated tech concepts and breaks them down into real steps you can actually use.

I had never run a FB ads campaign, working with Francesco meant that instead of spending hours figuring out what each option in the ads console meant, or how attribution should work, I could focus on actually launching quickly and effectively.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a PPC consultant actually do?

A PPC consultant plans, builds, and optimises paid advertising campaigns on platforms like Google Ads and Meta (Facebook & Instagram). Unlike an agency, you work directly with the person doing the work — no account managers, no hand-offs. I handle everything from campaign structure and keyword research to ad copy, bid strategy, tracking setup, and ongoing optimisation.

How is hiring a PPC consultant different from an agency?

Agencies spread attention across many clients and often assign junior staff to smaller accounts. With ar, you get the senior person every time. Communication is direct, decisions are faster, and you're not paying for overhead. For most small-to-mid businesses, a PPC consultant delivers better results per dollar spent.

Which platforms do you work with?

Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Display, YouTube) and Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram — Lead Gen, Conversions, Retargeting). These two platforms cover the vast majority of paid traffic opportunities for most businesses.

Do you manage campaigns on an ongoing basis or just consult?

Both. I offer 1:1 coaching sessions where we work through your account together and you retain full control, as well as hands-on managed campaigns where I run everything. For ongoing management, we discuss scope on a discovery call and tailor an arrangement to your needs.

How much does it cost to hire a PPC consultant?

A single strategy session is $199. For ongoing consulting or campaign management, pricing depends on scope, ad spend, and platforms. Book a free discovery call and we'll put together something that fits your situation.

I've already been burned by an agency. Why would this be different?

The most common complaints I hear about agencies: slow communication, junior staff, generic strategies, no transparency on what's actually happening. As ar, you have direct access to me at every stage. I'll show you exactly what I'm doing and why — and if something isn't working, we fix it fast.

Ready to stop guessing with your ad budget?

Book a single session and walk away with a clear, actionable plan — no commitment beyond that.
