Advertising for consultants

Reach the people who sign off the budget.

Referrals come and go. We run LinkedIn ads, Google Ads and search campaigns that put your expertise in front of decision-makers at the moment they’re looking for help. Then we report plainly on the conversations they start.

SOUND FAMILIAR?“I tried LinkedIn ads once and spent a fortune on clicks that went nowhere.”

Selling expertise is a different job from selling a product. Hardly anyone hires a consultant from one ad. The campaigns that work give something useful away first, aimed at a tightly defined audience, and then follow up properly. The ad opens a relationship. The sale comes later.

OUR SPECIALISMS

Ads that start the right conversations.

Each campaign is built around something useful, like a guide or a checklist or an event, and shown to the people you want to work with. We judge it on enquiries and booked calls. Clicks alone don’t count.

01

LinkedIn ads

Pick out decision-makers by job title or function, seniority or sector, with content worth a click.

02

Google Ads

Turn up in results when someone searches for your service, with landing pages built to convert.

03

Search visibility

SEO aimed at the problems you solve, so people find your articles and service pages without you paying per click.

04

Lead generation campaigns

We put your guides, webinars or events in front of the right people, then follow up so contacts turn into calls.

QUESTIONS CONSULTANTS ASK

Advertising for consultants, answered.

Do LinkedIn ads work for consultants?

Yes, as long as the audience is tightly defined and the ad gives people something useful. A hard sell rarely works there. Our guide to LinkedIn ads for consultants explains when they’re worth it.

Should consultants use Google Ads?

Yes, if people search for the service you offer. Google Ads can put you in front of them at the moment they’re looking. Our guide to Google Ads for consultants covers keywords and landing pages, plus tracking.

Is SEO better than paying for ads?

They do different jobs. Ads work fast and you control them, while SEO builds slowly and then keeps working. Read our guide to SEO for consultants.

How much should I spend on advertising?

Stop thinking of advertising as a cost. Do that and you cut yourself off from one of the parts of your business that brings in work, and turn it into a negative. Think of it as an opportunity, or better still, see it the other way round: not advertising is the lost opportunity. Every decision-maker who searches for help and finds someone else is a client you never get to speak to. There’s no off-the-shelf package. After a short conversation we’ll recommend a starting budget based on what a new client is worth to you and how competitive your market is, agree it with you and report clearly on what it brings in.
