I work remotely with Dublin teams as a fractional growth lead: owning SEO & GEO, paid media, CRO, attribution and AI automation — and building Shopify stores when the store is the bottleneck. Engagements start with a one-week audit (≈ €1,400).
Dublin is where many of the world's largest technology companies run their EMEA operations, and that has shaped a local startup scene full of people who learned growth inside big tech. Irish SaaS, fintech and ecommerce companies usually outgrow the domestic market quickly, so the real growth question is how to win in the UK, the wider EU and the US from a Dublin base.
What I see in Dublin
With a relatively small home market, Irish companies often go international at a much earlier stage than their peers elsewhere, and their marketing has to work across several countries from the first year.
Competition with multinational employers makes senior growth talent hard to hire and retain, which is why many Dublin scale-ups use fractional leadership until they can justify a permanent head of growth.
Irish online shoppers are used to buying from UK retailers, but post-Brexit customs charges and delivery delays have made Irish and EU-based stores more attractive, which is an opening for local ecommerce brands.
Because the Irish Data Protection Commission is the lead EU regulator for many big tech platforms, Irish marketers pay close attention to how those platforms change data sharing, targeting and measurement.
Search & AI discovery in Dublin
Irish searchers mostly use Google in English, but google.ie results are frequently mixed with UK pages, so Irish brands need clear euro pricing, Irish delivery information and en-IE targeting to avoid losing clicks to British competitors. Buyers also look for local signals such as Eircode-friendly forms and Irish contact details, and those same trust cues help AI assistants decide which supplier to recommend for an Irish query.
The Data Protection Commission has published cookie guidance that rules out pre-ticked boxes and implied consent from continued browsing, and expects rejecting to be as prominent as accepting. I pair a compliant consent platform with Consent Mode v2 and server-side tagging to keep ad platforms properly informed.
A fractional CMO for a Dublin startup or scale-up gives you a senior owner of growth without competing with multinational salaries for a permanent hire. I fix attribution first, then run the channels that take you into the UK, EU and US. Monthly engagements start around €3,200, with full leadership at about €5,500.
As an SEO and GEO consultant for Dublin companies, I help you outrank UK competitors on google.ie, build international visibility for UK, EU and US expansion, and get cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews. Every engagement starts with a one-week audit at around €1,400 before monthly execution begins.
I build Shopify stores for Dublin and Irish brands that sell at home and across the EU and UK, with euro pricing, Irish and EU VAT settings, and post-Brexit shipping handled properly. Every store launches with conversion-focused templates and tracking you can trust. Dublin Shopify projects start at approximately €5,500.
A Google Ads consultant in Dublin needs to win Irish searches back from UK advertisers and build separate campaigns for each export market. Engagements open with a one-week audit (≈ €1,400) and continue as managed work inside Growth Foundation at around €3,200 a month, with results reported country by country.
A CRM consultant in Dublin builds a system that handles several markets, currencies and sales teams from day one, usually in HubSpot. After a one-week audit costing around €1,400, I design and build the CRM inside Growth Foundation for roughly €3,200 a month, with lead routing, lifecycle stages and GDPR-ready consent records.
Pick by how much I run for you, from a one-week audit to owning the whole growth number. No lock-in, month-to-month, and the audit fee is credited if you continue.

Growth Audit
$1,500fixed
≈ €1,400 (approx.)
One-week audit: tracking, funnel, SEO/GEO and paid review. Ranked opportunities and a 90-day plan.
Yes. I invoice in EUR or USD. Cross-border business services supplied into Ireland normally fall under the reverse-charge mechanism, so your company self-accounts for Irish VAT; please confirm the treatment with your accountant.
Do you help Irish companies expand into the UK and US?
+
Yes, that is one of the most common briefs. I plan market-by-market launches with separate keyword research, pricing pages, ad accounts and tracking for each country, so you can see which market is actually profitable.
Why do UK competitors outrank us on google.ie?
+
Usually because Google can't see that your pages are meant for Ireland, while a larger UK site looks just as relevant. I first check which of your pages rank in Ireland versus the UK, then add clear Irish signals such as euro pricing, delivery and returns details, en-IE hreflang and Irish contact details, and build mentions in Irish media and directories so Google and AI assistants treat you as the Irish option.
What happens when we are ready to hire a permanent head of growth in Dublin?
+
I help define the role, take part in interviews and hand over documented playbooks, dashboards and budgets. That makes the position easier to sell against multinational employers, because candidates join a working system rather than a blank page.
