Freelance Start-up PPC Consultant
Drive profitable leads and sales from effective paid advertising campaigns
A Data-Driven Approach to Start-up PPC
Launching a start-up is an exciting challenge, and a well-crafted Pay-Per-Click (PPC) strategy can accelerate your growth by driving targeted traffic and generating quality leads. As a Freelance Start-Up PPC Consultant, I specialise in creating tailored PPC campaigns that deliver measurable results, helping start-ups establish their brand and scale quickly.
As a Start-Up PPC Expert, I understand the need for cost-efficient and impactful strategies that maximise your budget while achieving your business goals.
- Tailored PPC Strategies: Every start-up is unique, and I design bespoke campaigns to align with your objectives, whether you’re driving app downloads, increasing product sales, or building brand awareness.
- Keyword Research & Ad Copywriting: I conduct thorough keyword research to target high-intent search terms such as “best [product/service] for start-ups” or “innovative [industry solutions].” Combined with compelling ad copy, my campaigns ensure your message resonates with the right audience.
- Platform Expertise: I manage campaigns across Google Ads, Bing Ads, LinkedIn, and Meta, selecting the platforms that best suit your start-up’s audience and objectives.
- Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO): Beyond clicks, I focus on maximising conversions. By optimising landing pages and user journeys, I ensure visitors take action, such as signing up, purchasing, or booking a demo.
- Performance Reporting: I provide detailed reports tracking key metrics such as impressions, clicks, conversion rates, and ROI. These insights allow for continuous optimisation to ensure your campaigns achieve maximum efficiency.
With my tailored Start-Up PPC Services, I help you attract high-quality leads, build your customer base, and achieve sustainable growth. Contact me today to develop a results-driven PPC strategy for your start-up and turn your vision into reality.

How it Works
PPC campaigns take a 3-step approach
1. Strategy
I audit any current or previous campaigns and create a strategy around what worked and what should be tested based on data.
2. Build
I then create accounts, write ad copy, create imagery and build structured campaigns and landing pages in line with the strategy.
3. Optimise
Over time I run and analyse experiments on messaging, imagery, placements and targeting to scale return on investment.

Outside of growing profits, I enjoy playing guitar and drums, getting stuck into a good book, walks in the woods and along the beach (both of which I’m lucky enough to live near!), and travelling in my self-build campervan (Instagram).
I’m in Norfolk, UK – a beautiful combination of coast, woodlands and city, even if it is a bit flat!
