Get More Sales With CMO Consultants

The upfront cost of a chief marketing officer (CMO) consultant might seem high. However, a good one can actually save you money in the long term, we've helped clients generate more than $100M in revenue across lawyers, dentists, physios, plumbers, home services and professional services.

For one, they stop you from wasting cash. They'll identify marketing tactics that aren't working and suggest ways to turn them around. This frees up your budget to focus on things that actually bring in leads and sales.

Also, they'll bring expertise you might be missing. Review our digital marketing case studies to see the measurable impact a strategic consultant can have on businesses just like yours.

CMO consultants have the knowledge and experience to take your marketing efforts to the next level, improve your ROI, and get you the results you need.

Not all CMO consultants are the same. The traditional image might be someone who joins your company full-time, which can be expensive. In fact, the average CMO salary is projected to be around $184,263.

But there's another option. Think of a CMO consultant like a marketing expert you can work with by the hour. They work with you part-time, giving you access to their smarts without the full-time cost, most of our clients sit in the $1M–$10M revenue range and use this model to access senior strategy without hiring a $200k executive.

This way, you get all the benefits but it fits your budget better. Outsourced CMO services are structured specifically for this kind of flexible engagement, senior leadership without the full-time overhead. Plus, they can work alongside your existing team, teaching them new tricks and helping them level up.

You're right. Not all consultants will know your business like the back of their hand. That's why it's important to find someone who's familiar with your industry. Ideally, they've helped businesses similar to yours, for us that's law firms, dental practices, physiotherapy clinics, plumbers, home services, real estate, senior living and other local service businesses across the US, UK, Australia and the UAE.

When you interview consultants, ask them to show you case studies. Request examples of businesses in your industry that they've helped grow. This way, you can see if their approach actually translates to companies like yours.

Finding someone who fits your company culture is important. There are things you can do to find a CMO consultant who'll gel well with your team.

Schedule video calls with candidates. This way, you can get a feel for their personality beyond just a resume. Are they easy to talk to? Do they seem approachable and down-to-earth?

Also, think about your existing team. What kind of personality works well with them? Someone serious and buttoned-up, or maybe someone more casual and fun? Look for a consultant who complements your team's dynamic, and check how they're staffed. Ours runs Philippines weekday hours that overlap UK and US time zones, with an editor-in-chief reviewing every piece of work before it ships.

Yes, a fractional chief marketing officer consultant can definitely make a quick impact. First, they'll do a deep dive into your current marketing efforts. You'll get help in finding areas where you can improve things right away, most new clients are onboarded the same day and have a 3-month plan in their hands before the first invoice clears.

Once you've identified what needs fixing, they can help you jump in and finetune your marketing strategy. Running a digital marketing audit early in the engagement is often how consultants surface the fastest wins. This way, you can start bringing in better leads and sales faster.

But you don't just want a short-term fix, right? You want something that lasts. That's why we back the work with a 90-day guarantee to beat your current CTR, CPA, CPL or ROI, and a solid foundation underneath it so the gains compound.

It's best to get key people in your company on board from the start. Talk to them about what a CMO consultant can bring. Explain how they can help your marketing efforts improve and maybe even save you money in the long run.

More importantly, let them know the consultant won't replace your existing team. They'll actually work alongside them, sharing their knowledge and skills, including how to use AI properly inside search engine marketing rather than as a gimmick. By getting everyone on the same page from the beginning, you can avoid any surprises or resistance down the road.

How often you chat with the consultant depends on what you're working on and what works best for you. What's important is to stay in touch. Most engagements include weekly 1:1 strategy calls with the lead consultant, plus a dedicated team leader for each team member working on your account.

The good news is, these meetings can be adjusted to your needs. Keeping an eye on your B2B marketing benchmarks between sessions means every check-in is focused and productive, rather than catching up from scratch. Just focus on finding a rhythm that keeps everyone informed and on the same page.

Before you hire the consultant, have a chat about your long-term vision. What do you want your marketing to achieve in the next few years? What kind of custom package will fit your needs? Our retainers run month-to-month with a 30-day cancellation notice, so there's no pressure to lock in for years just to keep working together.

Maybe you want them to be your long-term marketing partner. This gives you continuous support in managing your marketing. Or, maybe you want them to build you a solid marketing plan and then teach your team how to run it themselves.

The best option depends on your needs and goals. Talk to the consultant about both possibilities and see what feels like the right fit for your company.

Some consultants handle everything from strategy to running the actual campaigns. Others focus on being your mastermind, creating the plan but leaving the day-to-day execution to your team.

You need to figure out what you need upfront. Do you want someone to handle everything, or do you have a great team that just needs some strategic direction?

If you want the consultant to take care of everything, look for those offering full-service packages. They'll create the plan, run the campaigns (Google Ads, SEO, YouTube, CRO, we deliberately don't touch Facebook, Meta or email), and basically become your marketing team.

On the other hand, maybe you have a strong internal team but need a marketing mastermind. If so, look for consultants who focus on strategy. They'll create a solid digital marketing plan, but your team will execute it. Pairing this with an experienced Google Ads specialist ensures paid acquisition isn't left to chance during the transition. See how we operate for the full operating model.

Absolutely. Sometimes, companies and their CMOs need a little help turning things around. CMO consultants can bring a fresh perspective and look at your marketing with a clean slate, across more than 320 ad accounts we've reviewed in-house, roughly 9 in 10 were mismanaged in some way, so a clean look usually surfaces real wins quickly.

You get help developing strategies specifically designed to support your turnaround efforts. Combining this with expert guidance from an SEO consultant can rebuild your organic pipeline at the same time as you're fixing paid acquisition. These strategies will help you attract more customers, boost sales, and get your business back on track.
