Common questions

What does a marketing consultant do?

A marketing consultant looks at your whole marketing picture, including your website, search visibility, email, and advertising, then tells you what is working, what is broken, and what to fix first. The thinking comes before any money gets spent on tactics.

How much do marketing consultants charge?

Anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands per month on retainer, and most won't publish a number. We keep it simple: a fixed-price Marketing Diagnostic at $950 for small businesses and $750 for nonprofits, backed by a money-back guarantee.

Why hire a marketing consultant?

Because guessing is expensive. If your marketing is not producing leads and you cannot say why, a consultant finds the cause faster than trial and error, and for far less than hiring an agency to redo everything on a hunch.

What makes a good marketing consultant?

Someone who has seen enough businesses to recognize patterns, asks about your goals before pitching services, and leaves you with actions you can take whether or not you ever hire them again.
