Consulting Services
Here at Hulbert Marketing, I offer a variety of different services that all focus on the same end goal: increasing your revenue and overall success.
However, the specific ways in which this happens can be very different depending on your unique needs.
I'm flexible enough to aid businesses of most sizes, from solo entrepreneurs and influencers, to larger business and corporations. I have extensive history across the spectrum, having delivered success for both sole proprietorships as well as some of the largest companies in the world.
Let's see how I can deliver your specific objectives.
(Or, if you're from an agency yourself, check out my White Label Services.)
(And if you're a total beginner to the world of consulting, check out my Beginner's Guide.)
Marketing Consulting
The world of marketing has so many options.
It's often said that 80% of your marketing results will come from 20% of your marketing efforts. The only trouble is knowing which 20%!
And if you're starting out anew, what's your first step?
As a marketing consultant, I'm happy to show you the way.
I use a variety of tools, including market research, competitive analyses, customer segmentation, and company assessments, to design marketing strategies that align with and enhance your business goals.
I can provide advice on how to communicate your value effectively, reach your target market, and differentiate yourself from your competitors.
I can also work on a more tactical level, helping you craft and evaluate specific campaigns and messages.
There may be a lot of options in marketing, but there's just as much potential to grow.
Business Consulting
Your business is more than just its marketing.
As a business consultant, I look at the bigger picture. I analyze your entire business model, from operational procedures to sales techniques to product delivery and customer satisfaction.
Using standard assessments such as SWOTs, environmental analyses, mix optimizations, as well as more advanced business audits when necessary, I identify where you can improve across whole organizations.
I almost hesitate splitting up business consulting and marketing consulting into two different categories. Ideally, they're two facets of the same overall goal.
Your business is more than its marketing, but it does fully contain its marketing. On the flipside, for marketing to be most effective, your business should be built around it. Successful companies are customer-centric and incorporate marketing in every level.
A poorly-operated company without a purpose or clearly defined goals will not benefit much from simply improving its marketing.
Brand Strategy
Few things are worth more than a good, consistent brand.
And every successful business has a compelling brand at its heart. Even if that brand is boring, mundane, or utilitarian—it's not about being flashy or becoming the next Apple.
It's about telling your customers what to expect, providing them with quality associations, and then delivering, every single time.
I can help define what your brand stands for, its values, personality, and the unique promise that sets it apart.
And using brand touchpoint consistency checks, I can make sure that message is reliably coming across.
It's more than just designing a logo or a tagline. It's not just spicing up your profile photo.
I can help ensure that your brand strategy resonates deeply with your target audience and beyond.
SEO Consulting
In our digital age, visibility on search engines is crucial.
And if you're thinking that AI will replace Google, guess again—AI is simply the next search engine to optimize for.
I offer in-depth SEO services including SEO audits, keyword research, thorough on-page optimization, off-page strategy, and more.
I evaluate your website's structure, content, technical quality, and usability against all current (and some future) best practices.
Whether you're a local business trying to rank in and beyond your city, or an ecommerce store aiming for global visibility, my SEO know-how is what you're looking for.
I got into marketing by way of SEO, and I will always have a passion for it. It takes time to get results, and it can be tough to understand algorithm changes. But I firmly believe it's one of—if not the—most valuable acquisition channels there is.
My Approach
Understanding your market is key to making informed business decisions.
That's why the first thing I do is research. The second thing I do? Research. The third thing I do: Hmm… research.
We'll start out with one to three discovery meetings where I get to know you, your brand, your stumbling blocks, and your goals.
From there I dive into my own research on your business, as well as competitors, your segment, and relevant trends.
Every service I provide concludes with useful, actionable recommendations that you can directly implement.
I can also help you put them into place. I know that sometimes, the practical implementation can be the hardest part.
There's no fluff here. I'm all about helping you take real, measurable actions with strategic advice focused on your bottom line.
I'll also let you know exactly what I'm doing, and exactly why it works. I have this whole Marketing Information Database to prove that I'm all about education, not just empty advice.
I believe in straightforward, no-nonsense advice that makes a tangible difference. I will be honest with you about your business and what it needs to do to succeed.
And although some of my direction comes from intuition and experience, I promise that everything will be backed up by data and sound logic.
This is consulting the way you want it—the way it should be.
Let's get working.
