Digital marketing consultant

A digital marketing consultant who is not selling you channels

Independent advice on where your digital budget should go, why, and what to stop doing. You work with me directly, not an account manager.

No retainer you cannot leave.

Sarah Ward, freelance digital marketing consultant

What a digital marketing consultant gives you

Most SMEs do not have a digital problem, they have a priorities problem. There is a website, a bit of SEO, some social, maybe an agency running ads, and nobody joining it up or asking whether it is earning its keep.

I look at the whole picture, decide which channels are genuinely worth your money at your size and in your market, then write the plan that gets you there. Where something is not working, I will say so plainly.

You get direction you can act on, whether your team delivers it, your agency does, or I stay involved and help.

From £300 per day

Most projects are quoted as a fixed fee so you know the cost before we start.

What I cover

  • Website and conversion

    Whether the site explains what you do, ranks for the right things and turns visitors into enquiries.

  • SEO and content

    The searches your buyers actually use, the pages you are missing, and a content plan you can sustain.

  • Email and CRM

    Using the list you already have properly, with sequences that follow up rather than shout.

  • Organic and paid social

    Which platforms are worth your time, what to post, and whether paid is the right lever yet.

  • Paid media oversight

    Briefing, budgets and holding agencies or freelancers to account against clear targets.

  • Measurement and reporting

    Analytics and tracking set up so the numbers answer the question you asked.
