Twelve services, one system
Earn attention, convert it, keep the customer, and prove which part worked. These services are stages of one system rather than twelve separate products — and most clients engage three or four.
What is included in internet marketing consulting?
Sixteen service lines covering the full path from an unmeasured business to one with a marketing system that compounds. They are not twelve independent products — they are stages and layers of the same system, and most clients use three or four rather than all twelve.
Each service below is described with what it actually involves and when hiring it is the right decision, rather than a list of deliverables you will never read.
AI Search Optimization
Generative Engine Optimization — being the source AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search and Perplexity actually cite, not merely ranking beneath them.Paid Search Consulting
Google Ads and Microsoft Ads restructured around contribution margin, so the account produces profit rather than volume.Paid Social Consulting
Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok campaigns where creative is treated as the main lever and incrementality is the measure that counts.Facebook Marketing
Advantage+ campaigns, event quality and creative volume — the structure behind Meta delivery.Instagram Marketing
Reels for reach, the grid for credibility, and native shoppable commerce.TikTok Marketing
Native creative, Spark Ads and TikTok as a search surface.YouTube Marketing
The channel as a compounding search asset, plus the largest video ad inventory inside Google Ads.Conversion Rate Optimization
What happens after the click. Usually the cheapest growth available to you and almost always the most neglected.Content Marketing Consulting
Topical authority and information gain rather than volume — written to be retrieved and cited.Email & Lifecycle Marketing
Deliverability, segmentation and lifecycle flows. Usually the highest-margin revenue you already own.Analytics & Tracking
GA4, server-side tagging and consent mode, configured so decisions can actually be made from the data rather than argued about.Technical SEO
Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals and site architecture — the unglamorous work that unblocks everything else.Local SEO
Google Business Profile, local pack visibility, reviews and location strategy for businesses that sell within a radius.Ecommerce Marketing
Category pages, product schema, feeds and retention, built around margin and repeat rate rather than traffic.Marketing Automation
Lead scoring, lifecycle sequences and CRM hygiene that increase revenue rather than inbox volume.Branding & Domain Selection
Brand naming, domain selection and messaging framework for new or repositioning businesses — strategic, not cosmetic.How do I know which service I need?
Start from the symptom, not from the service. Most businesses can identify which of these six situations they are in within a minute, and that immediately narrows the field.
| If this is true… | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You do not trust your numbers | Analytics & Tracking | Every other decision depends on measuring correctly. Nothing downstream is reliable until this is fixed. |
| Organic traffic is flat or falling | Technical SEO | Check the fundamentals before blaming content or competition. Indexation problems suppress everything. |
| Traffic is fine, leads are not | Conversion Rate Optimization | You already own the traffic. Improving it is cheaper than buying more. |
| AI answers mention competitors, not you | AI Search Optimization | A distinct, growing discovery surface with different requirements to classic ranking. |
| Paid spend has grown, profit has not | Paid Search / Paid Social | Almost always structure and conversion value, not targeting. |
| You get leads but cannot close them | Email, Automation and Analytics | Usually a follow-up and qualification problem, not a traffic problem. |
What does an engagement look like?
Engagements are structured in four phases. Timelines vary considerably with scope and the state of your existing setup, but the order does not change.
Diagnose
Analytics accuracy, technical health, competitive set, conversion economics. You receive a written diagnosis regardless of whether you continue.Prioritize

We implement, or your team does against a specification detailed enough to execute without escalating every decision.Measure
Reporting against the phase-one baseline, including honest coverage of what did not work.More detail on models and indicative cost is on the pricing page.
What we do not do
Several things that are routinely offered by internet marketing agencies are not on our list. This is not modesty — it is a description of our business model.
- Sell links, guest posts or outreach through networks we own or pay for.
- Guarantee rankings, traffic figures or revenue outcomes.
- Resell software, media inventory or services, or take affiliate commission on recommendations.
- Produce video or creative at volume. We advise on it; we do not run a production studio.
- Lock new clients into twelve-month contracts.
- Work on a percentage-of-spend basis for paid media management.
Does the approach change by industry?
The mechanics are largely universal — the same crawl budget problem, the same extractability requirement, the same measurement layer. What changes is the conversion economics, the length of the buying cycle, and which metric counts as a win. That is enough to change the advice substantially, which is why we publish sector-specific guidance.
