Consultant Service
Fractional inbound strategy, without the retainer overhead
Some teams don't need a full agency engagement — they need a senior second opinion, a working audit, or a hands-on advisor sitting in their own team's meetings. That's what the consulting track is built for.
Who this is for
Founders and lean teams who need judgment, not headcount
Consulting engagements work best for early-stage startups validating their first content motion, SMBs who have an in-house marketer but need SEO depth, and enterprise teams who want an outside audit before committing budget to a full retainer.

FAQ
Consultant Service, answered directly
How is this different from a one-time SEO audit under the SEO Service?
The SEO Service audit is scoped narrowly to technical and on-page SEO; consulting engagements can cover strategy, content, CRO and team enablement together, and include ongoing advisory formats, not just a single audit.
Can consulting turn into a full retainer later?
Yes — many clients start with a consulting engagement to validate direction, then move into a full Services retainer once the roadmap is proven.
Do you work with our existing agency or in-house team?
Yes — fractional advisory is often layered on top of an existing team or agency relationship as an independent second opinion.
What's the typical audit turnaround?
Most one-time audits are delivered within 5-10 business days of receiving platform access, depending on site size.
