PPC Consultancy and Audits
An Independent View of Where Your Paid Budget Is Going
If you run paid media in-house or through another agency and are not sure the results are as good as they could be, a senior second opinion is the cheapest way to find out. We audit accounts, train teams and advise on strategy without needing to take the account over.

What we do
PPC audit
A full review of your Google Ads, Microsoft Ads or paid social accounts covering structure, keyword and search term quality, match type strategy, negative coverage, bidding, ad copy and assets, landing pages, conversion tracking accuracy, budget allocation, wasted spend and competitor auction position. Delivered as a written report with quantified waste, a prioritised action list and a call to walk through it. Two-week turnaround. Many clients action the findings with their own team; some ask us to implement.
Consultancy for in-house teams
Retained access to a senior paid media specialist for teams who do the day-to-day work themselves. Monthly account reviews, strategy sessions, help with new campaign types, tracking and attribution problems, and someone to call when Google changes something again. Priced as a fixed monthly retainer with an agreed number of hours.
Second opinion on your agency
Agency reports can make almost any account look healthy. We review the account itself, not the report, and tell you plainly whether the management is good, adequate or costing you money. We will also tell you if it is good and you should stay put, because we would rather earn your trust than your account.
Training
Half-day and full-day sessions for marketing teams on Google Ads fundamentals, conversion tracking, search term management and reporting, run remotely or on site in Yorkshire and the North.
What an audit typically finds
Broad match keywords with no negatives absorbing a third of spend. Conversion actions double counting. Performance Max taking credit for branded searches that would have converted anyway. Ads sending clicks to the homepage. Budgets spread so thin no campaign learns. The fixes are usually simple once someone with experience looks.
