Pay Per Click (PPC) Marketing Consultant – Ian Rhodes
Since 1996, I’ve worked with UK & International businesses to create, manage and optimise highly effective Search Engine-based marketing campaigns.
Search marketing is constantly evolving and in order to be seen and heard by your business prospects, you need to position your company wherever your prospects are looking or listening.

You read the blogs of ‘Online Marketing Experts’ and the books by ‘Digital Marketing Gurus‘ to build a picture of how your online business should be shaped. Research is one thing, application is a whole other process.
My role as your Search Marketing Consultant is to understand your business and your business needs and to build and manage the path that will place you in front of your business prospects. Whether you’re a Startup, a Small Business or Multinational Corporation, the ‘theory‘ of Online Marketing retains the same structure. The application? That’s a whole different matter.
My focus is always upon Google. It’s where your business prospects start they research journey and we work together to ensure your site is where they complete the journey.
The correct mixture of SEO Strategy and PPC Management will ensure your business is a click away from developing new relationships with new clients.
As a freelance Online Marketing Consultant my role is flexible and fits around your business needs;
Google Adwords (PPC / Pay Per Click) is where your competitors are spending their online budget and it’s where you need to compete to ensure your business thrives online. Without research, structure, or analysis, you will simply be gambling your hard earned marketing budget with nothing left to show for it.
Optimisation of your PPC Management process ensures:
- correct targeting and keyword research to ensure you’re bidding on the key phrases that win business
- budget optimisation to deliver quality traffic levels without overbidding on unnecessary terms
- analytical understanding of which keywords deliver the highest ROI for your business and building that research into your overall Adwords strategy
- exploring opportunities using ‘longtail‘ phrases which offer quality click thrus at a fraction of the price of broader terms
- landing pages which deliver results for your business and offer your site visitors the easiest access to the information that they are looking for
- Ad campaigns which target your potential prospects developing a high click through rate (CTR) whereby Google reward you with a high Quality Score which reduces your overall costs and increases your visibility and positioning
These 6 key areas combined will ensure your business succeeds in the highly competitive world of PPC Advertising. It’s no longer a simple case of popping cash into your Adwords account each month and hoping for the best. To receive a free telephone consultation click here

Successful Search Engine Optimisation implementation and management can become the Golden Egg for your business. Likewise, the thought process is the same across every business owner’s mind and corporate boardroom in the UK and worldwide. My involvement with Search Engine Optimisation began pre-Google back in 1996. I’ve learned the hard way, getting my hands dirty with code, trialing, failing, trialing once more eventually building campaigns which deliver significant results for online businesses. Ignore the claims of ‘guaranteed number one spot on Google‘ and ‘number one position within a day‘ - they are farcical.
Search Optimisation will build a long-term highly lucrative proposition for your business IF structured and managed correctly.
As your SEO Consultant I will provide your business:
- a complete SEO Audit of your current search ranking presence
- a structure and strategy based around your existing website – no need to spend anymore budget on design work!
- research into the search habits of potential clients within your industry
- optimisation of the mechanics of your site – the META data and content structure of your website
- integratation of analytics to allow you access to a wide range of information regarding your current visitors and site popularity
- work with you to create and manage an SEO proposition which will position your business where YOU want to be
- an understanding and integration of local-search based content to drive additional enquiries and sales from within your own locale or region
