Many small businesses need extra marketing support but don’t want to overstretch their existing team. The usual response is to hire a full-time employee - but in many cases, that isn’t necessary. What you really need is a skilled marketing partner, available one or two days a week.
That’s where Optimise Derby specialises: providing clear, strategic marketing support in SEO, PPC, email, design, and more. You get the expertise you need to grow - without the overheads of a full-time hire.
We're your partner for cost-effective growth.
FAQs
A marketing consultant helps small businesses diagnose what’s working and what isn't, set a plan, and deliver high-impact fixes (e.g., SEO, PPC, email). Typical work includes audits, strategy, and targeted execution to grow revenue efficiently.
Day rates vary widely by experience and scope. Recent UK data shows ~£300 median/day across marketing roles, with averages often cited £150–£1,500/day depending on seniority and brief. I charge a base rate of £250/day for SME support in Derby.
A Marketing MOT is a one-off, systematic review of your channels and strategy to identify strengths, gaps, and quick wins. It normally covers site/SEO, PPC, email, and content, and ends with a clear action plan and workshop.
It depends on the channels we focus on. Quick wins like PPC campaigns or email improvements can generate leads within days or weeks. Medium-term gains such as SEO and content typically take 3–6 months to show impact. Long-term strategies like brand positioning and consistent content often build momentum over 6–12 months. At Optimise Derby, I set clear expectations and measure progress so you can see both quick improvements and steady growth.
Many SMEs don’t need a full-time hire. Fractional/part-time marketing leadership gives you senior expertise a few days per month - flexible, cost-effective, and integrated with your team. That’s exactly the Optimise Derby model.
Start with a Marketing MOT (audit + workshop + action plan). If it’s a fit, roll into a 1 day/week monthly partner arrangement for ongoing strategy, teaching, and targeted execution across your marketing channels.
