When to bring in a consultant
For decisions that are expensive to get wrong.
Before a rebuild or replatform
An independent view on whether you need a new website, a new platform or a few targeted fixes, before you sign a quote.
When growth has stalled
Traffic, enquiries or online sales have flattened and nobody can say why. We find the cause across site, search, data and journey.
When suppliers disagree
Your agency, developer and ads manager each blame another layer. A senior second opinion separates the issues.
What you get
Senior thinking you can act on.
- A clear diagnosis. What is actually holding results back, in plain English, with evidence.
- Priorities in order. What to fix first, what can wait and what not to spend on.
- Supplier-neutral advice. We do not take commission on platforms, tools or agencies.
- Hands-on help when needed. If you want it done, the same person can deliver it.
- Local and online. Meet in St Albans or by video, whichever is quicker.
- Depth in ecommerce. Google Shopping, Merchant Center, product feeds and catalogue data from enterprise level down.

The strategy session
How a £195 strategy session runs.
Sixty minutes focused on one real problem, followed by written priorities and practical next steps. It is the lowest-risk way to get a senior view before spending more.
- BeforeSend the website or store, the problem in a sentence, and anything you already have: analytics access, Search Console, quotes or a supplier proposal.
- DiagnoseWe work through the evidence together and separate the symptom from the likely cause.
- OptionsThe realistic routes, what each costs in time and money, and what to avoid.
- Written prioritiesA short written summary of what to do first, second and not at all.
Good questions for a session: whether to rebuild or fix, how to judge an agency proposal, why enquiries or sales have dropped, or how to sequence too many competing improvements. See all consultancy options.
Experience
Why businesses ask for a second opinion.
We have worked on the retailer, technology and Google sides of digital commerce, including Google Shopping and enterprise product-feed work with ecommerce platforms and enterprise feed platforms. That breadth is useful locally too: the same disciplines that make a large catalogue perform also make a small business website clearer, faster and easier to find. Read the full experience.
Questions
Digital consultant St Albans: common questions.
What does a digital consultant actually do?
A digital consultant diagnoses why your website, search visibility or online sales are not performing, then sets out what to change and in what order. FifteenFold can also deliver the work.
Is this only for ecommerce businesses?
No. We work with local service businesses, professional firms and retailers. The ecommerce depth simply means product, catalogue and Google Shopping problems are covered too.
Can we meet in St Albans?
Yes. FifteenFold is based in St Albans, so local meetings are easy. Video calls work well for quicker sessions.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
You work with one senior person from diagnosis to delivery. There is no account manager layer, and advice is not tied to selling you a bigger project.
