Process
How I work
- 01
Audit & tracking
Before spending a penny more, I check conversion tracking is accurate and find where budget is leaking. Leads you can’t measure can’t be improved.
- 02
Strategy & build
Campaigns built around high-intent searches and audiences, with tight keyword and audience structure, strong ads and landing pages that convert.
- 03
Optimise for lead quality
Weekly search term, audience and bid management. The aim is leads that turn into revenue, not just a lower cost per form fill.
- 04
Clear reporting
Plain-English monthly reports: leads, cost per lead, what changed and what happens next. No jargon, no vanity metrics.

Frequently asked questions
How do we work together?
Everything runs by email: enquiries, onboarding, monthly reports and day-to-day questions. You get clear written updates you can refer back to, and a direct line to the person managing your account.
Can you target ads to specific areas of Manchester?
Absolutely. Campaigns can target by postcode district, town or radius, so you only pay for clicks from areas you actually serve, whether that’s the city centre, Stockport, Bolton, Salford, Trafford or across the North West.
Why hire a Manchester PPC freelancer rather than a national agency?
You get a specialist who understands the local market, competitors and search behaviour, works directly on your account, and doesn’t charge agency overheads.
Do you only work with Manchester businesses?
No. I’m based in Manchester but work with businesses across the UK.
