Meet the person behind Hello Digital

I’m Alessandro, a freelance SEO and digital marketing consultant based in Dublin. I’ve worked in digital for over 20 years, including time on Google’s Search Quality team. I help startups and small businesses get seen online and bring in more leads.

When you work with Hello Digital, you work with me. I plan and manage everything myself, so you always know what’s being done and what to expect.

Who I work with

I work with Irish startups, small businesses, and growing teams that want better results from digital marketing. Whether you’re building your presence from the ground up or looking to scale without the overhead of a full agency, I offer clear, expert support that fits your stage and goals.

Startups

New Irish businesses that need to build visibility from day one. I help startups create a solid digital foundation with SEO, content, and paid campaigns designed to attract the right audience early — so you can grow with purpose, not pressure.

Local businesses

Trades, services, and professionals across Ireland who want to appear in local searches and drive more enquiries. I help you optimise your local presence across maps, listings, and location-based keywords so nearby customers can easily find and choose you.

Growing teams

Small marketing teams or business owners ready to scale but without the time or headcount to manage digital channels alone. I step in with expert strategy, hands-on support, and clear priorities — without the layers of a traditional agency.

Online businesses

Irish e-commerce stores, SaaS platforms, and digital and AI-first brands that want to grow traffic and increase conversions. I help online businesses sharpen their SEO, improve product visibility, and run campaigns that bring in more qualified visitors.

FAQs about paid social media services

Which social ad platforms do you work with?

I mainly work with Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn. If you need help with another platform, I can advise on setup, creative, and targeting based on where your audience spends time.

How much should I spend on social ads?

That depnds on your goals, industry, and how competitive your market is. I’ll help you choose a budget that makes sense for your business — and set expectations for results based on that.

 

How fast can I see results from social media advertising?

Most campaigns start showing early results within a few days. I’ll monitor performance closely and make changes to improve engagement and conversions based on the data.

 

Do you design the ads too?

Yes. I create the copy and help with visuals — either by designing them directly or working with what you have. If you need new assets, I’ll give you clear guidance on what’s needed and why.

Will I need to create new content for social ads?

Not always. If you already have visuals or videos, I can often adapt them. If not, I’ll suggest simple, effective changes or help you create new assets that are more likely to perform.

How do you target the right people with social ads?

I use detailed targeting tools — including location, interests, behaviours and exclusions — to reach the right people and avoid wasting budget on users who are unlikely to convert.

Can you run social ads for both lead generation and awareness?

Yes. I build campaigns that fit your goals — whether that’s generating leads, building visibility for a new product, or re-engaging past visitors through retargeting.

What kind of reporting will I get?

You’ll get simple, focused reports that show what matters — clicks, leads, conversions, and spend. I’ll explain what’s working and what changes are being made to keep improving performance.

Do social ads work for local businesses too?

Absolutely. With proper targeting and messaging, social ads can help local businesses reach people nearby and drive leads — especially when combined with strong local offers or content.

How do I get started with paid social media?

Book a free consultation. I’ll take a look at your goals, audience, and current setup — then recommend the next steps to get your campaign off the ground.
